The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1952

“What do you mean?”

Veronica asked, her expression blank.

“You think I don't know my own son?” Samantha accepted a glass of water from the associate, took a slow sip, and spoke in a leisurely drawl. “Since the day he was born, I have never seen him 'take care' of anyone or even offer a pleasant look.”

“So, you must be overthinking things.”

“...”

Veronica froze in her tracks, realizing this woman was an impenetrable fortress.

“By the way.”

Noting Veronica's pale face, Samantha added, “I hear he's been fiercely pursuing a certain girl lately. From what I can tell, he's practically a taken man at this point.”

“So, you might want to keep your distance.”

“Otherwise, people might get the wrong idea and label you a desperate homewrecker throwing herself at an unavailable man. That would be quite a mess.”

“You know how people view homewreckers, don't you? Morally bankrupt, utterly shameless...” Samantha stared her down, enunciating every word. “In another era, women like that were run out of town with pitchforks.”

Samantha's words struck like a physical slap to the face.

Veronica's expression morphed into something unbearably ugly.

“Samantha, your items are ready. Please step this way to the VIP lounge.”

The staff member interrupted perfectly on cue.

“Lovely.”

Samantha stood up. Before walking away, she cast one last icy glance at Veronica. “Oh, and one more thing. The girl my son is pursuing? She has some incredibly powerful people backing her.”

“So I strongly suggest you remember my words. Do not cross her, or else...”

Samantha let the threat hang heavily in the air, leaving a chill that seeped into Veronica's bones.

“Let's go.”

Samantha commanded, her heels clicking authoritatively against the marble floor as she strutted toward the VIP lounge.

Veronica stood frozen in place, her hands slowly balling into tight fists as she glared at Samantha's retreating back.

Powerful backing?

Who on earth was this girl Roger was chasing?
