Meanwhile, Lucy had already arrived at the company, unaware of the surprise that was waiting for her at home. She was still upset with Matthew.She was not going to forgive that bastard for wrongly accusing her today!She angrily walked into the company with her files and started looking through them.Since Matthew invested in the company and brought in some excellent managers, the company had turned a corner. They were no longer operating at a loss.Although Lucy was not as stressed as before, she still had a long way to go before she could make her company the best in the world. She concentrated on the work in front of her.While she was working, someone knocked on her office door.“Come in.”A timid-looking young lady came in.Lucy knew who she was.Her name was Mabel Pines. Matthew recently recruited her as an intern from a prestigious university. Many people called her Maple because it rhymed with her name.She was a quiet lady and a meticulous worker. She was just a bit

Lucy was so surprised that she sprung up from her chair. She walked up to Mabel and held her hand. “Maple, you’re my lucky star. This is such good news.”Mabel could not help but blush in embarrassment. She stole glances at her, thinking, ‘Wow, Ms. Lucy is so pretty.’Her voice was as soft as a mosquito as she said, “Thank you, Ms. Lucy. It’s nothing, really.”Lucy patted her hand and said, “It’s not nothing. If someone notices your work, that means you’re outstanding.”Mabel smiled. She was glad that she was able to help Lucy.“When will the investor be here? Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to negotiate a good deal for you!”Lucy was even more motivated now. She could not believe she received such good news right after she set a target for herself. She had to seize this opportunity and make a name for Lulu Comics.Once she established a reputation for her company, the rest would fall into place.“In about three days, the investor will come here to discuss this.”Mabel suddenly re

Lucy shrugged. “There’s only a bit of paperwork left. It’s no big deal. You can go home first.”Amy failed to persuade her and left. She was still a bit worried when she left. She contemplated calling Matthew to ask him to pick Lucy up, but then again…Seeing how diligently Lucy was working, she thought that it was better to not disturb her.With a sigh, Amy left.Lucy was still slaving away at the paperwork. She had not been this motivated in a long time. Although she liked working, why were there so many freaking documents?!Sighing, she gazed out the window at the darkening sky.How did time fly by so quickly? She had not even finished reviewing her documents yet.Lucy took out her phone and unlocked the screen only to find out that there were no notifications.Her face darkened. That damned jerk made her upset, yet he did not even bother calling to apologize! Tonight, she was going to sleep in a separate room from Matthew!Sulking, she walked down the company building an

The helpers in the living room nodded respectfully and left Matthew’s villa in an orderly manner.Matthew did not pay them any attention at all. He hurriedly went upstairs and stood in front of the door of Lucy’s room. He pushed the handle down, but the door did not budge.Lucy had locked the door from the inside.Matthew was panicking. “Lulu, please open the door. I was wrong. Don’t be angry at me, please.”There was still no response.Matthew’s head was buzzing. He was bad at cheering women up.“Lulu, if you’re mad at me, you can just hit me. I was wrong, okay?”A muffled female voice came from the room. “What did you do wrong? Why should I hit you?”Matthew was relieved that she answered him as he was most afraid of her ignoring him.He said softly, “Lulu, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have doubted you and gotten jealous over nothing. Please come out and give me a chance to apologize to you?”Listening to his gentle apology, Lucy’s anger started to subside.Fine. What was th

Matthew could no longer keep the smile on his face. "Wifey…”He looked at Lucy pleadingly.Internally, he was thinking, ‘Don’t go in. I beg you, please. I still want to keep my dignity.’Lucy’s face was expressionless when she looked at him…She was wondering if he was hiding something. What was he hiding from her? Was someone else in this house? Lucy was having all sorts of thoughts, but she did not question him just yet. She had to see it to believe it. She would not act like how Matthew did that morning, angering her by wrongly accusing her without any proof. With a gulp, she searched his room.Lucy looked under the bed, in the closet, behind the curtains, and behind the door.The more she searched, the more confused she was. There was nothing!She scanned his room again. Since she had been sleeping in his room, she was familiar with the room's layout. There seemed to be no changes at all.No one was there. She looked at the window again. It was locked shut, so there was

Matthew’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. What should he do now? What other excuse could he use to get out of this mess?He really did not want to tell his wife the real reason. After Lucy forgave him, he thought that he could seal his backup plan in a dark room and never think of it ever again. If it was brought to light, Matthew dared not think of the consequences.He was in a whirlwind of anxiety.Lucy sighed and started shedding tears.“Matt, you’ve changed. You’re starting to hide things from me now.“You know, when Timothy started to grow distant from me, it was because he was hiding things from me too.”A pretty woman’s tears were said to be poignant and beautiful, but to Matthew, they only left him feeling utterly helpless as he watched the tears roll down Lucy's cheeks.What should he do? His wife was never one to cry easily. He had only seen her cry a couple of times, but now…Matthew felt like dealing with his angry wife earlier was much easier.His Adam’s apple

Matthew felt a cold gust of wind, making his hair stand on end.He immediately held his right hand up and put his left hand over his heart. “I swear that from now on, I'll never make my wife angry, nor will I falsely accuse her without proof. I'll always ask my wife first before I jump to conclusions.”Satisfied, Lucy withdrew her gaze and weighed the washboard in her hands. Lucy felt more at ease after Matthew’s oath.However, she suddenly rolled her eyes cunningly and called out, “Matthew!”“Yes?” Matthew quickly answered.“You’re a grown man, and you have your own pride, so I'll never use this kind of thing against you—as long as you don’t do anything to disappoint me.”Lucy said sternly, “I’ll put the washboard in my room. If you ever cheat on me in the future, I’ll smash this washboard on your head.”Huh? Matthew was frozen on the spot.Did she say that she was going to smash the headboard on his head if he ever cheated on her? He thought the washboard was for kneeling, or

"My wife is amazing.” Matthew looked at Lucy dotingly.“I didn’t expect you to achieve so much with your company in such a short time.”Lucy blushed when he praised her, but something sounded off to her.She looked at him without any emotion and asked, “What did you say? You didn’t expect me to achieve so much?”Lucy squinted her eyes in dissatisfaction. Matthew looked at her, reeling he had just said the wrong thing.“No, I was praising you for being so awesome.” Matthew quickly let out a chuckle as a cover-up.Lucy’s suspicions were confirmed, but she did not confront him for it.It turned out that he had set an unattainable goal for her just so she could owe him a favor.How naive of Matthew!Lucy snorted, deciding not to dwell on this matter any longer.Since he did not think she could do it, she would have to prove him wrong. Sooner or later, he would see what she was capable of.Flames of determination surged within Lucy. Matthew could even feel the heat radiating off

As Gabriella examined the luxurious clothes, bags, shoes, and pants, she could not help but feel that Lucy was completely unappreciative of such treasures. She failed to utilize them to enhance her appearance! They spent quite a while going through the various garments and accessories, yet there were still items they had not finished checking out.Lucy gave an awkward smile, acknowledging her own laziness. After a long search, Gabriella finally found a piece that caught her eye. As she checked the tag, she was surprised to find that the dress was designed by a renowned French designer. It featured a V-neck, with simple yet elegant sleeves that revealed a hint of Lucy's arms, while the skirt was a refined and tailored fit.Gabriella held up the dress against Lucy, murmuring to herself, “Hmm, this one’s nice! 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

Since the previous incident, Lucy had become increasingly attentive to her children. She watched over them at nearly every moment. She feared that Charlotte might seize any chance to harm the children, so she remained vigilant and meticulous, avoiding any lapses.

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. She could see Lucy's haughty expression starin

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. It left the headmistress in a muddle while Joan looked on with envy! The headmistress glanced at Charlotte, feeling quite displease
