What good would that do?!Matthew had embarrassed Timothy so badly. Any guy would find it hard to let that slide, and Timothy knew it all too well.Trying to keep his cool, he told his dad, "Don't worry, I've got this."He then hung up.Slumping into his chair, Timothy held his head which was aching with worry. What now? He could not let Lucas Corporation, a hundred-year legacy, crumble on his watch.Just then, Luna rushed into his office, all flustered."Tim!"Seeing her, Timothy's worries lightened a little. He always tried to keep it together in front of his woman."Nana, what's wrong?"Luna was on edge. "Tim, my company needs more money. That lawsuit hit us hard, and we can't bounce back fast enough. If you don't help, I might go under!"Timothy's forehead vein popped. Not this again. Always asking for money, without a single thought for Lucas Corporation's share price.Timothy's mind wandered back to the days he spent studying finance with Lucy. She would not have misse

Luna froze, a bad feeling creeping into her heart. "Tim, what are you trying to say?"Timothy rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed. "I'm saying that Lucas Corporation is in big trouble, and I can't deal with you right now. Go do something else, okay?"Her last bit of hope crumbled, and Luna slumped to the floor. Her usual grace was gone.No way! How could Tim's company be failing?He owned the biggest company in town, and only the Quinn family could stand up to him.The Lucas family had not made any enemies. Wait a minute! A sudden thought struck her, and she pictured the faces of Lucy and her successful husband.It had to be Lucy!Luna's face twisted with bitterness.Was Lucy jealous of her happiness?At that moment, Timothy looked at Luna with pure distaste. Luna, already on edge, saw it right away."Tim, what's your problem? Are you looking down on me?" she yelled, not realizing that her outburst was making Timothy even more disgusted.'Was I just not seeing clearly? How coul

Timothy could not see Luna's face, but he thought she understood. After he hung up, he drove back to their place.The moment he walked in, a black bag was pulled over his head, and then he felt a hard hit on the back of his head.He fell to the floor, knocked out, with Luna standing over him. She had hatred in her eyes.Luna was panting with a look of triumph in her eyes. "That's what you get for ignoring me and thinking you can replace me," she thought. She grabbed the hemp rope she had bought earlier from the coffee table and tied up Timothy's hands and feet. Then, using a small cart, she pushed him down to the basement of the villa.The basement was a hidden place meant for safety during big disasters. It was stocked with lots of emergency gear and medical supplies.Knowing her way around, Luna took out an IV drip from the medical box, set it up for Timothy, and then used his phone to transfer a bunch of money from his bank account to hers using his fingerprint.Luna gave a

When Timothy’s father took over Lucas Corporation, Matthew’s assistant reported it to him.Matthew looked at Lucas Corporation’s shares on the computer screen and pursed his lips in contemplation. Although it was not what he expected, it was good enough.“You’ve secured your bonus for the month.”His assistant breathed a sigh of relief.Lucy finally emerged from the sea of documents and looked at the happy Matthew. She had to ask, “Matt, is there good news? You seem to be in a good mood.”Matthew caressed her head. “Wifey, what would you think if I gave you a small portion of Lucas Corporation’s shares?”Lucy was surprised.She was well aware that for these words to come out of Matthew’s mouth, that meant that he had gained control of most of Lucas Corporation’s shares.She could not hide her surprise. “Matt, how did you do it?”Matthew shook his head. “It’s no big deal. By the time he wanted to go against me, it was already settled.”Lucy’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Mat

For a moment, it seemed like he was onto something, but he quickly dismissed that thought. There was no way it was Luna.However, she was the only one at home…No matter who it was, he had to find a way to get out. Timothy looked around him, but it was pitch-black and he could not see anything.He shouted for help for 15 minutes straight, but no one responded.Timothy figured that either no one was around to hear his cry for help or he was in a soundproofed room.Timothy was quite sharp-witted for piecing together the truth.Unfortunately, he hit the jackpot on both counts. Not only was there no one around, but the basement was built with such high-quality materials that it was completely soundproof!Timothy refused to give up, so he shouted for another ten minutes.In the end, he decided to just shut up and save his energy.He was extremely anxious. Lucas Corporation was in deep shit, so he could not leave it unattended for too long.If he did, the company would be doomed. H

"The company is fine. I made it in time to stop the major shareholders from selling their shares, so we’re still in control.”Aaron paused for a bit and asked, “You'd better tell me what the hell is going on!”Timothy was relieved to hear that the company was doing fine. It was only then that he felt the pain in his body.He massaged his hands and feet, which had been tied up for hours, as well as the throbbing pain on the back of his head.He shook his head and said, “I don’t know. Nana told me to come home all of a sudden. As soon as I got home, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head and everything went black. I fell unconscious, and after I woke up, here I was.”Aaron frowned. “Is there anything on you that’s missing?”Aaron looked around the villa. Everything was neatly arranged, and there were no signs of anyone rummaging through the cabinets. It did not seem like a burglary at all.Meanwhile, Timothy checked his belongings and did not find anything missing. He turned o

After Lucy got the name of the place, she drove to the mental hospital.When she arrived at the lobby, a nurse was sitting at the front desk and looking at her manicure with a bored look.She did not even bother greeting Lucy when she saw her come in. She just straightened her posture a little bit.Lucy walked up to her and asked, “May I know which ward Luna Quinn is in?”The nurse smiled and said, “Miss, I strongly advise you not to visit Ms. Luna. She was sent in here by her husband, and she’s showing serious violent tendencies.”Lucy knew what her sister was like. Luna never showed any signs of a mental disorder before, so why was she sent to the mental hospital?She paused for a moment and said, “I’d still like to visit her. I’m her sister, Lucy. Here’s my identification.”She showed the nurse her ID.After the nurse took Lucy's ID card and verified it, she did not bother dissuading Lucy. She registered Lucy and pointed out the location of Luna’s ward.Lucy followed her in

That silhouette was all too familiar to Lucy, and because of that, she felt her stomach churning as a nauseating sensation crept up to her throat.Frowning, she shifted her gaze to Amy, who was sweating profusely.After meeting Lucy’s eyes, she apologized.“I’m sorry, Ms. Lucy. Mr. Timothy insisted on going in, so I couldn’t stop him.”Lucy felt helpless, but she did not blame Amy. If Timothy insisted, she believed that there was not much Amy could do.Timothy, who was left out in the cold, coughed to announce his presence to the people in front of him.Lucy said coldly to him, “Is there a reason why you’re here?”Her words took him by surprise. Timothy was not expecting her to talk to him like this. It hurt his self-esteem.He stood in place for some time before he finally decided to tell Lucy why he came.“Lucy, about my company…”After hearing his opening, Lucy knew what he was going to say, but she did not interrupt him.“You were the one who asked Mr. Leon to do it, rig

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

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
