The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 891

Franco just stood there, completely stunned, for a good five minutes after Charlotte finished speaking. It was like his brain couldn’t keep up with everything that had happened in the last half hour. Too much, too complicated, too fast. The whole “Charlotte has a boyfriend” thing was already hard enough to swallow.

But this? This was on another level.

The N Organization had only come onto the scene in Solenia a couple of years ago, and now they were basically the most powerful group around, second only to the presidential palace itself. Franco had never met the person in charge, but the rumors were everywhere. Ruthless. Sharp. Someone you definitely didn’t want as an enemy.

How could that be Charlotte? She’d just turned nineteen. There was no way.

He had to be hearing things. It couldn’t be true.

“Lottie, are you messing with me?” he finally asked, frowning, trying to keep his voice steady. Maybe she was just so into that jerk of a boyfriend that she’d make up something this wild just to stay with him.

Charlotte just blinked slowly, checked her watch, and gave him a tiny, knowing smile. “I couldn’t afford a joke that would cost tens of billions.”

Right on cue, a guard’s voice carried in from the doorway.

“Mr. Hawk, there are two men outside. They say they work for Charlotte. They have something to give her.”

“Let them in,” Charlotte said, cool as ever.

Franco nodded, not even thinking about refusing. If Charlotte wanted it, it happened. Simple as that.

A minute later, Jackson and Adonis came striding into the hall, clearly feeling on top of the world. Adonis, especially, was grinning like he’d just won the lottery. He wasn’t holding just any paperwork, either. That was the N Organization’s operating funds for the next six months.

“Charlotte.” Jackson and Adonis walked over, handed her the file, and bowed their heads a little. “The losses from the munitions factory are all in here,” Jackson said.

Munitions factory?
