The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 461

“I’m really sorry. Something like this... it won’t happen again. Actually, there won’t ever be a next time. I hope you can forgive me. I didn’t mean for any of this to happen.”

Melissa’s fingers curled so tight they shook. Her face was bright red and her eyes shimmered with unshed tears. Every word seemed to cost her a piece of her pride.

When she finally finished, everyone’s attention shifted to Charlotte.

Charlotte just looked at her for a moment, calm and unreadable. Then she turned away and glanced at Anthony. “I’m tired.”

“I’ll take you to rest.”

Anthony didn’t hesitate. He slipped an arm around Charlotte’s waist and gave Melissa a look that could freeze fire. His voice was icy as he spoke. “Someone, please see our guest out.”

Melissa’s face twisted with embarrassment as she ran out of the room, shoulders shaking, tears streaming down her cheeks. The humiliation was almost too much to bear.

Charlotte, you made a fool of me in front of everyone. This isn’t over.

The chaos faded, but the whole thing turned into the latest gossip in high society. No one dared bring it up openly, but everyone was whispering about it behind closed doors. Now, though, everyone’s curiosity was hooked on Anthony’s so-called fiancée. Who exactly was she? If she could win over both Patricia and Lavinia, she definitely wasn’t ordinary.

Patricia stepped forward with a gentle smile, her eyes soft as she looked at Charlotte. “Everyone, I’m sorry for that little scene just now. I hope it didn’t spoil the mood.” She paused, her voice tender and full of love. “Since we’re all here, I’d like to clear something up.”

“There’s never been any engagement between the Blair family and the Carter family. Anthony’s only future wife is Halation—our Lottie.”

Patricia’s pride was obvious when she mentioned Halation. A famous artist paired with a handsome CEO—they were the kind of couple people envied.
