The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 479

“I said, you don’t deserve to be a father.”

Even people who’d only met her a handful of times believed she’d been framed back then. But her own biological dad? What a joke.

Honestly, he was pretty much useless to her. If he served no purpose, he might as well belong with the rest of the trash.

“My mom must have been blind to ever fall for you.” Charlotte’s words hit the air, cold and sharp. Her dark eyes slid over Olivia’s face and a slow, chilly smile tugged at her lips. “If you piss me off, you’re going to regret it. And trust me, you can’t afford that.”

Before Olivia could even process what was happening, Charlotte was already gone, slipping out of sight. Olivia stood frozen, a strange panic creeping into her chest.

What did Charlotte mean by “you can’t afford it”?

On the other end of the call, Steven was still replaying her words in his mind. “My mom must have been blind to ever fall for you.” The shock made his heart race. He curled his fingers, feeling guilty and uneasy.

Did Charlotte know something? Like the truth about who she really was?

…

Charlotte didn’t pay any attention to the curious stares from the students as she walked back to her classroom. She grabbed her bag and went straight to the office to ask for two days off.

Two days would be enough.

As soon as she left the school gates, she headed for the SUV parked a short distance away.

Jackson and Adonis were waiting and greeted her respectfully when they saw her.

She just nodded and slid into the backseat. The second she sat down, her phone started ringing.

Anthony.

Her eyes flickered and her expression darkened.

Jackson and Adonis exchanged a quick, worried glance. Up until now, Charlotte had seemed calm, almost detached. But as soon as Anthony’s name flashed on her screen, something changed. It was like a cloud settled over her, like she only let herself show her true feelings when it was him.

“Anthony,” she said, hesitating for a moment before picking up. Her voice was steady, but there was a softness underneath.
