The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1965

"If I don't see you in five minutes..."

The girl sat with a lazy posture, arching her brow as her low, careless voice echoed. "Face the consequences."

She ended the call.

Charlotte tossed the phone back into her pocket, unwrapped a lollipop, popped it into her mouth, and casually picked up a case file from the adjacent table.

"What do you think you're doing?!"

She had barely flipped through two pages when the file was violently snatched away. Veronica glared at her furiously, offering an icy warning. "Miss, this is a forensic lab, not a place for you to throw a diva attitude."

With a sharp smack, she slammed the file back onto the desk.

"The lab is swamped right now, and Dr. Gates is completely overwhelmed," Veronica continued her passive-aggressive lecture. "He genuinely does not have the extra time to coddle you. Please leave."

Charlotte narrowed her eyes. Her gaze landed on Veronica's name tag, and a cold, mocking smirk pulled at the corner of her lips.

Oh.

So this was the delusional coworker Samantha had mentioned... the utterly ordinary woman who hallucinated a romance and tried to insert herself as the third wheel in Roger's life?

"Did you not hear me? I asked you to leave!"

Seeing that Charlotte hadn't moved an inch and was instead sizing her up with a frigid stare, Veronica felt a spike of unease. Her tone grew rushed. "If you don't leave, I'm calling security."

Nobody knew Dr. Gates's strict professional standards better than her.

At a time like this, there was absolutely no way he'd tolerate her nonsense.

Even if she kicked this girl out, Dr. Gates wouldn't be mad at her.

"Veronica Ham?"

Charlotte stared lazily at her, a faint smile curving her lips as she spoke at a leisurely pace. "A medical examiner at the lab?"

"That's right."

Veronica lifted her chin, adopting an air of superiority, and answered coldly.

"Oh."

Charlotte leaned back in her chair, a chilling scoff escaping her lips. "It seems your rank at the Cabinda Forensic Lab is even higher than Roger's. You actually dare to make decisions for him!"

"You—"
