The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 653

“Perfect, perfect!”

You could tell Mr. Lane was thrilled with Shirley.

“How about lowering the current a bit?”

Charlotte took her chance, stepping up and tapping on the glass.

“Lottie, you finally came to see me!”

Mr. Lane noticed her right away. He dropped everything, hurried over, and started grumbling. “I’m upset with you!”

It was one thing that Lottie didn’t choose physics, but she hadn’t even applied to The Cabinda University.

Not that The Cabinda University was really good enough for her anyway.

“Don’t be mad. I’ll stop by more often from now on.” Charlotte grinned, lifting the food container in her hand. “I brought all your favorites. Want to eat first and save the anger for later?”

Mr. Lane’s eyes lit up at the sight of the food. “Fine,” he muttered, trying to act annoyed. “I’ll be mad later.”

Charlotte stayed for dinner with Mr. Lane, and only after being pulled into a few more experiments did she manage to grab Shirley and slip away.

Once they made it out of the lab, Charlotte let out a deep breath. “Mr. Lane’s great, but he never stops talking.”

If they hadn’t escaped, he probably would’ve kept them there all night.

Shirley laughed, shrugging out of her lab coat and stuffing it into her bag. She reached for her phone, planning to check the time.

Instead, her eyes landed on a new transfer notification, the numbers crystal clear.

“One zero, two zeroes…”

She stared at her phone, counting in total disbelief.

“A million?”
