The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1056

Anthony's eyebrows pulled together, his face going stone cold. He didn't say a word, just stared straight at her, looking totally pissed.

"I'm not going by myself. Nothing's going to happen," she promised.

When she saw that icy look flash across Anthony's face, Charlotte turned around, wrapped her arms around his neck, and for once let herself sound soft and sweet. "Besides, I'm bringing Jackson and Adonis."

"So I'm not as good as Jackson and Adonis now?" Anthony asked, gripping her waist and lifting her right into his arms. His breathing was uneven, a little shaky. "This isn't like before. Let me come with you, okay?"

Charlotte let out a sigh, her fingers brushing through his dark hair. "Even if you change your face, you can't hide your energy. If you come with me, you'll stand out way too much."

Rena was obsessed with him. Even with a disguise, she'd probably see right through him.

Having a boyfriend who was this good-looking and talented was honestly a pain sometimes.

"We'll work together. I'll be inside, you back me up from the outside. Wait for my signal."

She tipped her chin up and kissed the corner of his mouth, her voice low and gentle. "Besides, I've got a tougher job for you. Find my grandma's bracelet. The sooner, the better."

Grandma's bracelet? So the missing bracelet was Mrs. W's?

Anthony caught on immediately, his eyes sharpening. "You think the antidote's clue is hidden in the bracelet?"

Charlotte nodded, lips pressed together. "It's the only thing she left me that no one's ever checked."

No matter what, she had to get it back.

"We've already searched three times," Anthony said. "I'll widen the search and go over everyone who's been in the research center."

That carnelian was worth real money. It probably hadn't been thrown away. Someone had to still have it.
