When Lucy said that they were minor issues, they were indeed just minor issues. She was not making excuses for herself.All of the issues they pointed out seemed to be nitpicking like they were trying to find fault in the tiniest of details.Frowning, Lucy called the investor’s number. She softened her voice and asked, “Hello, is this Mr. Erlington?“I’m Lucy Quinn, the person in charge of Lulu Comics.“I’m sorry for disturbing you, but I’d like to inquire about the sudden cancellation of your company’s investment in our comic.”A middle-aged man’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “I apologize for the sudden cancellation, but your company’s comic doesn't meet my requirements, so I had to cancel the investment.”The tone of his voice was cold as if Lucy’s company had done something huge to offend him.Lucy was at a loss, but she had to get to the bottom of this. “May I ask what those requirements are?”Lucy did not believe that it was because of those minor issues at

Lucy hung up with a tired look on her face. The rage in her heart was burning strong enough to destroy all reason. She tried her best to force down her anger as she buried her head in the mountain of documents.Meanwhile, Matthew had returned to his office. The first thing he did was to wave Kent over.When Kent noticed the look Matthew was giving him, he immediately knew what Matthew wanted. “Do you want me to find out Mrs. Leon’s recent activities?”Matthew gave him an approving look and nodded.Kent did not waste any time as he immediately went off to investigate.It was not because he could read Matthew’s mind, but it was because he knew every time Matthew looked like that, it meant that something had happened to Lucy.Kent quickly found out about what happened to Lucy and gave Matthew the file on it.There was rage in Matthew’s eyes when he read the file. How could they bully his wife like that?! Was there something wrong with the brains of the Quinns?That was brazen of t

Wally ran out quickly as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. When he saw that no one in the office was really punished, he finally relaxed. His arrogant attitude quickly returned.He came to an office where the employees usually were and pointed at a woman who looked slightly timid. “Take this file and make two copies for me. We need this for the investment meeting with Mr. Erlington tomorrow.”The timid woman took the file from him obediently, but Wally glared unhappily at her. “What are you doing? This is your comic, isn’t it? Why are you acting so scared instead of making copies openly? Make sure nothing goes wrong with this. You’ll be rewarded once everything has been set in stone.”A sad look flashed in the timid woman’s eyes when she heard what Wally said. What did he mean when he said this was her comic? It was not hers at all. It clearly belonged to Mabel, but…There was always a ‘but’.The timid woman sighed. She hoped Mabel would not blame her because she did not want t

“Then why did you apologize to me?”Lucy was curious. If Mabel had not plagiarized the comic, there was no need to be acting so timidly. She even looked like she was guilty about something. It was very misleading. Mabel lowered her head guiltily. “When I was creating that comic, I discussed my ideas with another person. She was my best friend, and I'd always tell her about everything I wanted to draw, but…”It was surprising to see how calm Lucy was. “I see. So, your best friend divulged the story of your comic?”Lucy finally understood how the comic got leaked. She felt sorry for Mabel, but she was not surprised by what happened.From Lucy’s point of view, such occurrences were normal. After all, even her family she had lived with for more than 20 years would sell out the daughter they brought up for their own benefits or something profitable. Moreover, this was a friend who was not even related to Mabel by blood. “I… I don't want to point fingers at her, but… but…” Mabel trie

“Maple?” Lucy called out gently to Mabel.Mable wiped away her tears and quickly gave Lucy a nod of her head. “I’m sorry. I didn’t cry on purpose, Lucy. I’ll get back to work right now.”Lucy stopped her in frustration. “It’s fine. Just rest here for a while. If you don’t mind, how about telling me what exactly happened?”She was a little hesitant about getting Mabel to tell the truth.It would make Mabel feel better to tell the truth, but at the look of Mabel…The concerned look on Lucy’s face must have been too obvious because Mabel eventually revealed everything, “We knew each other back in high school. She’s two years older than I am, and she enrolled in art college first. "We could talk about anything under the sun, and we told each other everything, including our ideas for comics. However, the closer we got, the more we realized how similar our drawing styles were.“It never occurred to me that she was the one responsible for plagiarizing my comic this time. She was the r

Lucy smiled and reached out to shake Wayne’s hand. “Thank you for giving me a chance to explain the situation, and welcome to our company."The 35-year-old Wayne was surprised to see the gracious and elegant Lucy, who was in her mid-20s.He did not expect this company’s CEO to be a young woman of about 20. He was reminded of how Lucy sounded so decisive on the phone and could not help but look at her in admiration. He shook Lucy’s hand graciously.After they were done greeting each other, Lucy led him into the company. “Even though I'd love to show you the company, we have much more important things to tend to.“I would like to apologize to you again for what happened. I’m sorry that I had to trouble you to make this trip, but this involves our company’s credibility, and I can’t be careless about it.”Lucy was well-mannered, and her words revealed how cultured she was.Wayne found himself quite impressed with Lucy. He waved her off. “It’s fine. If this really isn’t your company’s

Wayne was known to be a cunning businessman. He could tell that Lucy was calm because she knew that there was something wrong with the documents he had given her.However, he was suddenly curious about something. “Looks like you’re confident that your artist is the original creator of the comic, and you have no doubts at all about it.”Lucy closed the file in front of her and looked Wayne straight in the eye. She said with conviction, “Yes, I’m confident of that. These documents aren't enough to convince me otherwise. "Every piece of evidence here points to their artist plagiarizing from an artist of ours. As for the reason for doing so, I’ll let the artist explain it to you personally.”She turned toward the door and called out, “Come in, Maple.”Mabel had been waiting outside the door, but she did not walk in immediately when Lucy called out to her. She took a deep breath outside the meeting room and relaxed before pushing the door and entering the room.She nodded at Lucy and

Mabel lowered her eyes and sighed. “She was my best friend.”Wayne immediately understood the entire situation. He could not help but feel melancholic over this. This whole scenario was caused by someone with bad intentions. He did not pursue the matter as he did not want to hurt the artist further by reminding her of this.“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave, Miss Quinn, Mr. Erlington.”Mabel lowered her head at both CEOs. Lucy looked at Mabel sadly and waved her off.After that, she turned to Wayne. “Mr. Erlington, about this…”Wayne gave a wave of his hand. “I understand.”“Judging by the hand-drawn drafts she provided, I believe that she's the original creator of this comic. But what do you plan to do about Luna Arthouse, Miss Quinn?”Lucy closed her eyes, and when she opened them, she came to a decision. “Lulu Comics isn’t a company that’s easily bullied. They have to pay the price for plagiarizing our comic. I’ve already sent out lawyer's letter to them. This cas

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.

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
