The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 928

“Yes.” The subordinate nodded.

Not long after, he came back to Newell, looking almost stunned. “Newell, I found out,” he said, his voice respectful but clearly shaken. He could barely keep it together.

“Speak.”

Newell sat in his chair, hands resting on his knees, his body leaning forward, eyes sharp and cold.

“Nine didn’t just find her mother. She found her father too.” The subordinate swallowed, then spoke slowly and clearly. “Nine’s father is Franco. Her mother is Nora.”

“What?”

Newell almost never showed emotion, but now he snapped his head up, surprise flickering across his usually calm face. “Charlotte’s father is Franco?”

Franco. The one who ran from the Hawk family. The former heir.

“Yes,” the subordinate confirmed, watching Newell’s reaction out of the corner of his eye. If Nine was Franco’s daughter, that made her the heir to the Hawk family. Which meant…

If he remembered right, Newell and the Hawk family’s heir had been engaged since twenty years ago. Back when they didn’t know about Nine’s real identity, the heir was someone else. Now that they knew the truth, Nine was the real heir.

So what did that mean for Newell?

Nobody could have seen this coming. But why did Newell look so unreadable? Shouldn’t he be happy?

“Go.”

Newell tossed his phone on the table, poured himself half a glass of red wine, and swirled it lazily between his fingers. “Keep it secret that Charlotte found her parents.” His voice was quiet.
