The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 970

“Go back and think about what you’ve done.”

Aloys reviewed the surveillance footage again. He spotted someone helping the girl escape. By the time he realized, she was already gone.

Someone picked her up? Just like last time. That girl always seemed to have someone ready to whisk her away, and every time it happened, Aloys ended up empty-handed.

Who had the nerve to mess with him on his own turf, not once, but twice?

“Aloys,” his assistant said quietly, “they planned everything. Anything that could reveal their identity was completely hidden.”

So, they still had no idea who was backing that girl.

Aloys frowned and zoomed in on the video, eyes narrowing as he studied the car that had pulled up.

“Doesn’t that car look a lot like one from the Churchill family?”

The Churchill family?

Rena bit her lip and mumbled, “But Mr. Churchill is related to Marcia by marriage…”

Why would he ever help an outsider go against the Hawk family?

Aloys watched the footage again, his mind racing. She was right. The Churchill and Hawk families had always been close. Decades back, to keep both families strong, they had arranged for their firstborn children to marry.

If Franco hadn’t walked away from the family over a woman all those years ago, that marriage wouldn’t have landed on Marcia’s shoulders. If the two families joined by marriage, Aloys’s position would be unshakable. Sooner or later, Allanson would hand him all the family’s power.

As long as Franco didn’t come back, anyway.

Aloys’s face turned stormy. He gave Rena a cold glare, his temper flaring.

Useless. If she was even half as smart as that girl, none of this would have happened. She wouldn’t have let someone just stroll in and walk away with seven billion dollars.

And that wasn’t even counting the money needed to fix the casino after all this…

The numbers were so staggering, Aloys didn’t even want to think about it.

How could someone as clever as him end up with a daughter like this?
