Chapter 1039

Author: Tang Eighteen
The cold weather did not deter people. Instead, the streets became increasingly crowded, lively enough to make one forget the chill of winter.

Matthew and Lucy were among the crowd, following the flow of people to the busiest area.

Matthew was with his young son while Lucy had her young daughter.

They first went to a newly opened restaurant to eat, then strolled around the street, buying everything they needed. Just as they were about to head back, they spotted someone they had not seen in a long time.

Lucy saw Selena and stared in amazement, unable to believe that she had actually returned!

She turned to signal to the busy Matthew, but he was still occupied picking out gifts.

When Lucy turned back, Selena had already vanished into the crowd. She looked around for a while but still could not find her. After walking a considerable distance forward, there was still no sign of her.

Matthew eventually found Lucy while still carrying the children, so she had no choice b

    "Promise me, don’t go looking for Koven anymore. Let’s be together, okay?” Mark asked with a look of sincerity on his face.He wanted to spend the rest of his life with the woman in front of him.Selena was very hesitant.

Besides, escaping from his grasp was going to be difficult!Selena put down her fork, tidied her clothes, and solemnly said to Mark, “Mark, I understand your feelings and what you’re going through right now.

    Mark did not leave. He wanted to stay by Selena’s side, offering her warmth and letting her vent her feelings. Watching the woman he loved in so much pain, he felt heartbroken too. Mark knew today was the day Selena would have her period, so he quietly went out to make her some tea and brought her some snacks.“Here.” Mark handed over the tea, looking at Selena’s pale face with deep concern.Selena thanked him briefly and drank the tea in one gulp, then fell silent again. At that moment, she did not want to say anything, only desiring to be alone. However, she did not have the heart to ask Mark to leave, so she let him sit in the chair beside her while her thoughts drifted elsewhere.“Selena, don’t be so upset. Koven isn’t worth it, and you—” Before Mark could finish, Selena interrupted him.“Mark, I just want to be alone. Can you leave?” Selena’s face was full of distress, and she really did not want to deal with anyone right now.Seeing how Mark lingered, she grew even more ir

    Although Selena knew about what Koven had done, she did not plan to accept Mark.

She looked at herself in the mirror, finding her reflection both unfamiliar and ridiculous. It turned out that their relationship was so fragile, that any random reason could tear them apart.Selena thought to herself, 'So, I was the clown all along. Koven never truly cared about me!'The night quietly faded away, and dawn slowly arrived. The east revealed golden rays of light as the sun was about to rise.

You should try it on!” Even though she spoke to Lucy in a tone reminiscent of an older sister, she still maintained her authority as a mother-in-law. It made her words both

    Matthew noticed Lucy’s absent-mindedness and asked gently, "Lulu, what’s on your mind?"“Oh, nothing… I just think what happened to Charlotte is so sudden,” Lucy replied.“Don’t worry about it. It has nothing to do with us. She was always trying to harm you. Her fate is something she brought upon herself.” Matthew patted her head comfortingly.However, Lucy found it suspicious. Although the news reported Charlotte’s assassination and that the monastery had burned down to ashes, it did not mention her body. That kind of crucial detail would not have been overlooked by the media.Matthew had also considered this possibility, but he had kept it to himself to avoid alarming Lucy. Charlotte had been sent to the monastery because of him and Lucy, and she had to harbor a deep hatred for them. If she managed to orchestrate her own escape, what if she was now seeking help from Spades to target Lucy? That would be dangerous.“Lulu, don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to you or the ch

    With nothing left to hold onto, Charlotte walked down the empty streets, her heart heavy with despair. She wore a black veil that covered her completely, revealing only her eyes. She even had on dark sunglasses. She dared not walk in the open or be seen, nor did she dare expose Juliana’s crimes to the world.She used to be a princess. Everything she had done, every privilege and indulgence, was backed by Arthur and Juliana’s love and permission. Now that her supporters had betrayed her, what right did she have to be reckless or demand anything? Surviving itself was a luxury. How could she even think of acting willfully?As she wandered in anguish, Charlotte found herself by the river. She remembered coming here with Arthur and Juliana when she was a child, laughing and walking along the bank. Now, each memory felt painfully ironic, and every kiss from Juliana seemed sickening. How could her world be so false? How could even the people she trusted most turn against her?Charlotte cou

    Charlotte continued to hide within the castle, unwilling to leave and equally unwilling to let anyone know she was alive—unless they promised never to send her back to the monastery. However, she doubted that would happen, so she kept to the shadows. After all, the castle had plenty of food. It was far better than anything at the monastery.One night, Charlotte quietly slipped into Arthur and Juliana's bedroom. To her surprise, Arthur was not there, and only Juliana was present. 'Dad must be too upset to sleep,' Charlotte thought. She knew him well—whenever he was troubled, he would retreat to the study rather than go to bed.As she watched her beloved mother, a tiny bit of her resolve wavered. Juliana looked utterly exhausted, as if she had lost a lot of weight in just a few days. Charlotte had a sudden urge to go in and comfort her, but she knew that was impossible. Charlotte realized that seeing someone through a wall of separation was the most painful thing of all.Just as

    The next morning, news of the assassination attempt on Charlotte was sensationalized across all media outlets. The internet was flooded with headlines about her close brush with death, sparking worldwide shock. No one could believe that Charlotte, notorious for her arrogance and harsh treatment of offenders, could have been targeted like this. Many who resented her strict, often cruel ways were both thrilled and stunned by the news. The royal family immediately tightened security at the monastery, dispatching a large police force to investigate what had happened. The monastery became a focal point of public intrigue.“What? That's impossible! How could there be no trace?” Juliana exclaimed in disbelief. Standing before her was the chief forensic investigator.“Yes, Your Majesty, there's no sign of Princess Charlotte’s remains,” the investigator confirmed firmly.“Fine, I understand. Leave me, and keep me informed if anything changes,” Juliana replied, pressing her fingers to her

    As the footsteps came closer, Charlotte held her breath, not daring to make a sound. Suddenly, a shadowy figure appeared—it was clear they were targeting her. She watched as the figure approached the bed, moving so quietly it was as if they made no sound at all. What could they possibly be planning? Surely, the headmistress would not go this far?The figure drew closer to the bed, bundled up the pillows and blankets, and then doused something over them. Charlotte could smell it—it was gasoline! Was the headmistress planning to kill her to silence her? She froze, unable to move. The shadow struck a match and dropped it onto the bed. In an instant, flames surged up from the blankets.In the fire’s glow, Charlotte could make out that it was not the headmistress but a man. After setting the fire, he quickly slipped away without making a single sound. Charlotte crept out while stifling a cough, afraid he might hear and return. The flames grew quickly, engulfing the bed and spreading t

    Over the past year or so, Charlotte had gradually come to understand that the world was not just about picturesque landscapes and lavish feasts. In the shadows, beyond her sight, lay a world full of schemes and deception. Despite her ongoing attempts to plot against Lucy Quinn, she had not noticed this aspect at all until she arrived at the monastery. Here, she realized how dark human nature could truly be.The women at the monastery constantly criticized and belittled her, while the headmistress was corrupt, using her position for personal vendettas. She was also driven by greed for wealth and status. All Charlotte wanted was to escape this dreadful place and return to her castle. She wanted to go back to her plush, comfortable bed. There, she led a life surrounded by maids tending to her every need.Thinking of this, she remembered Lucy and envisioned her seated in her rightful place, basking in the affection of Arthur and Juliana.

    In a moment of heat, Charlotte blurted everything out. Joan was dumbfounded! Was this really Charlotte? She usually did not talk this much, did she? It was not just Joan who was shocked; the headmistress across from Charlotte was equally taken aback. Charlotte was usually so obedient. How had her tongue turned so venomous today? The headmistress was left speechless as every word Charlotte said was so reasonable that no one could argue against it, and it even warranted some compliments! Although Charlotte was confronting the headmistress, each of her statements felt like a plea for justice.Charlotte was not done yet and continued, “Since you know I’m a princess, you should give me some consideration. Yet, in reality, I’m the one giving you all the consideration. Is that reasonable?” Charlotte’s arguments were layered and logical, her thoughts clear.
