The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1089

“Dad, what do we do now?” Marcia squeezed her hands together, her voice shaky as she looked at Aloys. She bit her lip, worry etched all over her face. “Grandfather’s people must have heard about this too.”

Aloys’s face grew even darker. His eyes were bloodshot and cold. “What are you scared of?”

Marcia’s heart skipped a beat. “I’m just afraid they’ll come back.”

“Even if Franco returns to the Isle of Veil, that unknown daughter of his won’t change anything for you.” Aloys looked Marcia straight in the eye, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. “You’re the only one who will ever be Mrs. Churchill.”

“But what if the Churchill family…”

“They won’t.” Aloys cut her off, his voice hard and certain. “The Churchill family would never accept someone ordinary as their matriarch. And besides…”

“Besides what?”

“Your focus should be on the genetic mutation experiments. Leave the rest to me.” Aloys didn’t spell it out, but his confidence left no doubt. In his mind, Marcia was already destined to be the next Mrs. Churchill.

“As for Franco…” Aloys pressed his lips together, something sly flashing in his eyes. “He’d be smart not to come back. If he does, he won’t get out of the Isle of Veil alive.”

“Yes.” Marcia nodded, her anxiety easing a little after hearing her father’s words.

He was right.

Children of the Hawk family were trained from the day they were born. Maybe they weren’t perfect, but they could go toe to toe with the best of the world’s elite.
