The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 811

Kingswood University, lab.

Charlotte wore a loose white lab coat and a blue surgical mask. She sat at the microscope, her long legs tucked underneath, hands moving with practiced ease as she adjusted the settings. Every observation went straight into her notebook, neat and fast.

Her traditional medicine classmates crowded around her, phones out, filming her every step.

“I knew Black was amazing.”

“She’s better than half the professors here, honestly.”

“If only we had that missing ingredient, this experiment would be perfect.”

The missing ingredient wasn’t just a problem at Kingswood or Cabinda University. Even Solace University of Medicine in Astoria had to pause their research because no one could get it.

“That’s it for now.” Charlotte peeled off her gloves and slipped a finger under her mask, pulling it down to reveal a face so stunning, everyone had to take a second look. Her voice was calm. “Where’s Glenn?”

“In the dispensary next door.” Beasley was caught off guard by her looks and only remembered to answer when she spoke. His cheeks went pink. “Charlotte, are you… asking for time off?”

“Is that going to be an issue?” Charlotte asked, her eyes lazy as she wiped her hands with sanitizer.

“The school’s doing quality assessments. Administration’s really strict right now. Just this morning, Glenn said absolutely no one is allowed to miss class,” Beasley explained, looking serious. He remembered seeing a girl from another class try to ask for leave earlier, only to come out looking crushed. “Maybe just be careful,” he added, trying to be helpful.

Everyone knew Glenn was strict. No one could talk him into changing his mind about anything.

He cleared his throat, trying to cover up the awkward moment. “The thing is, the school’s in the middle of a quality review. I already said no one can take time off. If I let you go, I’m basically breaking my own rule.”

“If you approve my leave, I’ll bring back the missing ingredient for this experiment,” Charlotte replied, standing tall and gently tapping her toe against the floor.

“It’s not just about the ingredient…” Glenn started, shaking his head. Halfway through, he realized what she’d said and looked at her in shock. “Wait, are you saying you can get the missing ingredient?”

“Yeah.”

“Do you even know how rare and expensive it is?” Glenn sounded almost desperate now. “I heard the Solenia auction might have it, but it’ll cost a fortune. What school has millions to spend on something like that?”

“That’s for me to deal with. Just know that I can get it,” Charlotte said, arms folded behind her back. Glenn still looked stunned, so she added, almost teasing, “But if it’s too much of a hassle, I’ll just skip the leave request.”
