The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 953

“She’s probably long gone, at her age.”

Charlotte looked up, her lips curling into a lazy smile. “But what if she’s the only one who knows the formula for the inhibitor?”

She hadn’t even finished when she caught the sudden storm in Anthony’s eyes.

Charlotte blinked, then reached up to hook her finger under his chin, trying to keep things light. “I’m just saying, what if. Maybe she’s still out there, living her best life, right?”

Anthony took her hand and pulled her gently into his arms. “Lottie, I won’t let anything happen to you. No matter what, I’ll be by your side.”

Wherever you go, I’ll follow. Heaven or hell, I’m with you.

Right then, on the Isle of Veil, inside the gene research lab…

A man in a white coat shot up from his chair in the middle of an experiment.

He adjusted his glasses, excitement breaking through his usually sly, calculating face. “The person we’ve been searching for all these years just showed up.”

This was the head of the institute, known to everyone as “G2” because of his rank and seniority.

Above him, there was only one person—G1.

G1, or “Mrs. W,” was the founder. She’d once led the team that created the inhibitor to treat genetic mutation.

But in the end, greed got the better of some members. They abandoned their original mission and wanted to figure out what caused the mutations in the first place. If they could manufacture more mutants, they could throw the Isle of Veil and maybe even the world into chaos, then cash in big.

G2 and his followers pressured Mrs. W, even hunted her down, desperate for the research data and the formula for the inhibitor.

To keep the world safe from genetic mutation, Mrs. W destroyed all her original data, barely escaped with her life, and left the Isle of Veil for good.
