The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 923

Charlotte stared at her hand, surprised by a tingling numbness spreading through her fingers. Her expression, always a little distant, now carried a faint edge of frustration. She squeezed her wrist, trying to shake off the sensation, her brows drawing together as she fought the irritation brewing inside.

Once the feeling faded, she let out a slow breath and finally looked away. With a smooth motion, she pulled off her helmet and hooked it onto her motorcycle. She grabbed her black backpack from the back seat, tossed it onto her shoulder, pulled her cap lower over her eyes, and shoved both hands into her pockets. With long, confident strides, Charlotte headed straight for the physics building.

She was hard to ignore, even in a crowd. After winning an international medical competition and thanks to her famous Gates family background, there were plenty of her photos floating around the internet. Even with her cap pulled low, she stood out on campus, drawing stares wherever she went.

The medical students noticed her immediately. Around the corner, one girl nudged her friend and whispered, “Olivia, what’s Charlotte doing here at The Cabinda University?”

Olivia didn’t answer right away. She just watched Charlotte’s retreating figure, jealousy flickering in her eyes.

The other girl kept talking, her voice low. “Did you hear? Our department’s adding a traditional medicine major.”

“I really don’t get what the administration is thinking,” she muttered, shaking her head. “Why would a top university bother with something so random?”

Everyone knew traditional medicine didn’t have the reputation or job prospects that modern medicine did.

“Maybe it’s because Kingswood University’s new research got so much attention. They even landed a national grant. Maybe now the school thinks there’s a future in traditional medicine?”

“A future?” Olivia let out a cold laugh. “Charlotte just cozied up to some rich guy, bought her results, and finished her research with money. Wait till next year…”
