The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1375

The lounge was so quiet, it almost felt like you could hear the tension buzzing in the air. Kenneth stood by the door, tall and stiff, looking like he wanted to disappear. Guilt was written all over his face. If Lottie was actually J… then she must have heard every single thing he said earlier.

He dropped his eyes, a cold shiver running down his spine. Honestly, he wished he could just swallow his own tongue at this point.

“Aren’t you the one who wanted to see if J was blind?” Charlotte lifted an eyebrow, her lips curling into a playful smile. She watched him shrink into himself, her voice soft but hitting him right in the chest. “Kenneth, do you think I’m blind?”

“No, no, of course not.” Kenneth’s head snapped up. He waved his hands frantically, totally panicked. “This is just a big misunderstanding. I didn’t know you were J, I just…”

He didn’t even know where to start. What had Charlotte been up to all these years she’d been away? Anthony probably should have warned him.

“You really don’t have to beat yourself up,” Charlotte said, her smile turning a little sly. Her voice was lazy, almost teasing. “I mean, anyone would feel ripped off after dropping a million just to learn a lesson like this.”

Kenneth stared at her, completely speechless. He’d spent a million to hire a hacker to investigate his own sister. Not just a waste—it was actually kind of pathetic.

“So, when that top hacker N said you two were close, was that real?” Kenneth straightened up, his eyes searching Charlotte’s face, looking more and more confused.

“Yeah,” Charlotte paused for a moment, then smiled like it was no big deal. “We know each other pretty well.”

Kenneth frowned, his voice turning careful. “N’s a real pro. He must have figured out we’re related.”

“Is that so?” Charlotte met his eyes, waiting to see where he was going with this.
