The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 993

“What did you say?”

Newell’s exhaustion melted away. His eyes narrowed, and a cold, dangerous aura settled over him.

No matter how badly Anthony wanted Nine’s bracelet back, he wasn’t reckless enough to blow his cover and walk straight into the Hawk Family’s trap.

Besides, with Anthony’s skills, if he wanted to disappear, who could possibly track him down?

Newell thought it over, then his gaze snapped to Cedric, sharp and icy enough to make anyone shiver.

“Cedric, what’s going on?”

Cedric’s hands clenched tight when he heard Newell’s voice. He caught a glimpse of Newell’s dark expression in the rearview mirror, and his heart started pounding.

Newell was always calm, never one to show his emotions, but right now… Cedric could tell he’d really crossed a line.

Cedric closed his eyes, took a breath, and turned to face Newell with the utmost respect.

“Newell, I remember exactly what Nine was like when she first came to you. I saw how you treated her.

And if Nine reconnects with the Hawk Family, she’ll officially be your fiancée. You care about her just as much as Anthony does. Why should he get to take her from you?”

As Cedric spoke, Newell’s eyes grew even colder.

“Newell, if Anthony’s gone, Nine will finally see you. The two of you—”

“Idiot.” Newell cut him off, his tone sharp and final. He wasn’t interested in arguing. He pushed the car door open and stepped out. “When did the information get out?”

“Three hours ago.”

Cedric scrambled out too, head down.

By this point, the Hawk Family had definitely made their move. Anthony had no backup on the Isle of Veil. Escaping now would be almost impossible.

“My business isn’t yours to meddle in.”

Newell slid into the driver’s seat, gave Cedric a cold look, and his voice turned even icier.

“Go back to DM, take twenty lashes, and spend three days in solitary to think about what you’ve done.”

“If you ever do this again…” Newell turned, his face dark as a storm. “You’re out of DM.”

“Yes, sir.”
