The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 530

“But…” Stella’s voice was barely above a whisper as she edged closer to Charlotte, her eyes red and watery, like a little rabbit’s. “Charlotte, do you really trust me that much?”

“Of course I do.” Charlotte gave her a warm smile, ruffling Stella’s hair in that familiar, affectionate way. “Don’t stress. Once the exams are done, just get ready to start school with me.”

“There’s still two weeks. I’ll work hard on the practice questions,” Stella said, determined. She nodded, then paused as something caught her eye—a faint red mark just below Charlotte’s collarbone. Her brows knitted in confusion as she asked softly, “What’s that…?”

Charlotte glanced down, then quickly licked her lips, a little awkward. “I’ll be more careful next time.”

Next time? There was going to be a next time?

Jackson and Adonis both shot her a look, their eyes wide, outrage written all over their faces. But neither dared say a word. Anthony was really something else.

Charlotte spent the next two hours with Stella, patiently going over all the important topics one by one.

As she got ready to leave, Charlotte noticed the huge stack of review materials piled on Stella’s desk. She frowned and lowered her voice. “You need to be in bed before ten tonight. I’ll check on you.”

“I know,” Stella replied, looping her arm through Charlotte’s as she walked her downstairs. She stopped at the door and looked at Charlotte seriously. “Charlotte, is Mr. Blair treating you well?”

“Yeah.” Charlotte’s lips curled into the tiniest smile. She didn’t even hesitate. “I’ll introduce you to him sometime.”

“Good.” Stella squeezed Charlotte’s hand, relief washing over her face. “Charlotte, if he ever bullies you, promise you’ll tell me.”

“You planning to take him down?” Charlotte grinned.
