The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1976

"Is that right? Hahaha..."

Samantha's shrill laughter forced Charlotte to hold the phone away from her ear. "Alright, I have to get back to work."

"Oh?" Charlotte paused, confused. "Work on what?"

Did Samantha have another ridiculous matchmaking scheme up her sleeve?

"I'm preparing the wedding gifts for my future daughter-in-law!" Samantha's voice boomed. "The Gates family doesn't do things by halves!"

Especially for a girl like Stella, who didn't have her own family to rely on. Samantha wanted to make absolutely sure the girl felt secure and supported.

"Right."

Charlotte blinked, hesitating. "You go ahead and do that."

Don't jump the gun.

Whether they could actually let go of the past and be together depended entirely on what happened in two days.

Of course, she was rooting for them.

At the same time.

In another room down the hall.

Veronica Ham was also watching the scene below, the toxic brew of jealousy and rage in her eyes growing darker by the second.

Unfortunately, she had looked out the window too late and only caught the back of the girl's head.

But she could tell it was the exact same girl from the photo. A psychology student from Kingswood University.

Judging by her clothes, she was a complete nobody.

What did Roger see in her?

Her youth?

Her looks?

Or better yet, what did this girl see in Roger?

His money?

His status?

She had looked into it. The girls in the Kingswood psychology department came from remarkably average backgrounds.

Even if her family had a little money, it meant absolutely nothing compared to a top-tier dynasty like the Gates family.

Plenty of women wanted to use Roger as a stepping stone to the elite circle.

She just didn't know if this girl was one of them.

And...

Veronica clenched her fists, narrowing her eyes.

The more she stared at that silhouette, the more familiar it felt.

She had definitely seen her somewhere before.
