The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 978

“Why are you suddenly interested in Grandma’s stuff?”

Kenneth leaned against the doorframe, arms folded, looking at her with obvious confusion. He wasn’t working today, so he was just in a simple T-shirt and sweats. No makeup, his hair a little messy, but somehow that only made him look more handsome.

“Just looking for something,” Charlotte said.

She started pacing around the room, heading straight for her grandmother’s bedroom. Everything inside was perfectly organized, especially the jewelry. It was clear someone took care of these things all the time.

If there was a medical catalyst hidden here, it had to be with the medicine or maybe disguised as something else. She opened every box and drawer, carefully collecting anything that might be related. She really didn’t know what she was looking for… so she just grabbed anything that could possibly matter. She wasn’t going to miss any chance, no matter how small.

When she finished, Anthony took the jam-packed backpack from her and reached for her hand.

They started to head out. As they passed the door, Kenneth was staring at them, eyes wide and mouth hanging open. “What are you two doing? Robbing the place?”

They really were taking a lot of Grandma’s things.

Kenneth was a notorious blabbermouth. If he let it slip, Grandpa would start asking questions. Charlotte had no choice but to keep her cool. “I just need to borrow these for a while. I’ll bring them back soon.”

“Borrow them?” Kenneth echoed, looking skeptical.

Charlotte nodded with total seriousness. “I need you to cover for me with Grandpa, okay?”

Grandpa still came by all the time to reminisce. He’d notice right away if anything was missing.

“I don’t think I—”

“You can.” Charlotte patted his shoulder and met his eyes, her voice low and sincere. “I’ll write you some songs.”

Kenneth froze, caught off guard.
