"This has nothing to do with obedience. Timothy was the one who trespassed into my office, injured my secretary, and attempted to attack me. How could you ask me to bail him out after that?”Lucy’s eyes were full of disdain. She would never help bail Timothy out of jail. She wanted him to just rot in there.“It’s just a secretary.”Zachary was getting angrier and more impatient.“How can a secretary be more important than your brother-in-law? Although you didn’t end up marrying him, didn’t you like him before?“He’s your brother-in-law. Can’t you be kinder to your younger sister? Nana is still in the mental hospital right now.”The thought of his precious daughter made his heart ache.“You didn’t even visit her. If I have to, I’ll get her out of there myself. How can you even call yourself her sister?”Wow! It was no surprise that a Quinn family member was shameless enough to say such words. How dare he bring this up?Timothy cheated on Lucy with Luna, yet their father still h

That was all Zachary said before he hung up on Aaron. He could not care less about this matter anymore.His mind shifted to another concern. Since Lucy did not give a damn about the Quinns, his priority right now was to figure out a way to get Luna out of the mental hospital.Suddenly, he remembered that he had something that had been sitting at home for years. His attitude changed.What did it matter even if Lucy married a rich husband? He had something at home that was guaranteed to make her surrender.As Zachary walked away, the security guard watched him with suspicion.Seeing as Zachary was leaving this easily, was he going to come back again?The security guard was feeling wary of Zachary. The only reason Zachary managed to get in was that he was on a restroom break. He made sure that he would never let it happen again.…In the office, Lucy was not in the mood to work anymore after her father disrupted her.Lucy had gotten over what Timothy had done before, but she was

Lucy was relieved to hear Matthew’s words, so she smiled sweetly. “Okay, I’ll be waiting for you.”Then, she tidied herself up and went downstairs to wait for Matthew to pick her up.…After Matthew hung up, he glared at the director beside him menacingly.“Who gave you permission to interrupt me while I was on the phone?”The director shivered and looked down. “I’m sorry, Mr. Leon, but the meeting later is really important. It’s about the next charity auction, so…”The director’s voice got smaller and smaller under Matthew’s chilling gaze.He could not help but complain internally, 'Mr. Leon, the auction is worth billions of dollars. How can you leave now?’Hearing as the director’s voice was gradually getting softer, Matthew withdrew his gaze with satisfaction. “It’s just a charity auction. Do I look like someone short on cash?“We’ll talk about that later. My wife is more important right now.”He said to Kent, “Get one of my cars out of the garage. I’m going to pick up my

Matthew noticed Lucy’s gaze. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling alright?”He looked at her with concern.Lucy’s face turned red. What should she say now? It was not like she could tell him she did not know what to say to him.She was the one who called him and asked him to send her home.At that moment, Lucy had completely forgotten that Matthew was the one who called her and not the other way around.Lucy shook her head and stammered, “I’m just a little tired.”Matthew raised his eyebrow and looked at her with a half-smile. “Oh, you’re just tired?”He dragged his words on purpose, making Lucy blush even more. She had no idea what to do.Matthew chuckled when he saw Lucy like this. He decided not to tease his wife too much or it would spoil the fun.He pulled Lucy’s head onto his shoulder and gently said, “If you’re tired, take a nap. We'll be home by the time you wake up.”Lucy leaned on his shoulder, wondering how things got to this point. Hearing Matthew’s gentle voice made he

At the dinner table, Lucy and Matthew quietly ate their dinner. Vito watched them with a smile on his face, and he sighed. “It’s a rare occasion that both of you don’t need to work overtime today. Usually, you’re not even home after I make dinner.”Hearing his complaints, Lucy scratched her head in embarrassment. However, there was nothing she could do about it. Things in the company had been getting busier recently, and they still lacked manpower. It seemed like she would have to recruit more people.The thought of that felt a little unreal. Previously, she only had a handful of employees left after they were all poached. Some were even recruited by Matthew.It was still a small company then, so operations were simple. She even felt like she had a surplus of talents.She did not expect to have a shortage of staff in such a short time.Lucy ate her dinner while immersed in her thoughts, which Matthew found extremely adorable. His wife was pretty even when she was daydreaming.S

Lucy looked at Matthew in surprise and replied, “An auction? But I don’t need anything.”Matthew sighed inwardly. Others would have instantly jumped at such an offer, but his wife never seemed to understand.Although she was not lacking anything in her life, there had to be something among designer bags, diamonds, jewelry, and antiques that she would appreciate.However, she had never asked him for these things and was always the one looking after him instead. The only time she asked him for something was when she was tired.'This is a bad habit, my dear wife!’ Matthew thought, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. After living with her for so long, he could not help but feel unaccomplished as a husband.“Wifey, even if you don’t need anything, there are many interesting things at the auction.”Lucy became intrigued. “Like what? Will there be any books I like at the auction?”There was an awkward expression on Matthew’s face. The books that she liked were sold in regular bookstores. Ev

Lucy was at a loss. “No, that’s not what I mean. What I mean is that I’m not part of your social circle.“To outsiders, I’m just the daughter of the Quinns, an insignificant little family…”Her voice trailed off, her sense of inferiority emerging. She recalled what Matthew’s mother had said—'Why don’t you look in the mirror? What qualifications do you have to be with Matthew?'Frowning, Matthew put his hand to her mouth to stop her from continuing.He looked at her sternly and said, “Lulu, you’re my wife. I chose you, and that alone already makes you better than the rest of them.“In my eyes, they’re just specks of dust in the air. They’re nothing compared to you, my wife.”Lucy grew quiet. She understood Matthew’s intentions, but anyone could sweet talk. She could sense how sincere he was, but…Even if Matthew did not mind it, Lucy did—very much so! She did not want to jeopardize her hard-earned relationship with him over this, but seeing as Matthew was serious, she did not hav

Wayne was shocked to hear that Lucy was married, but nothing could prepare him for the shock of seeing Matthew get out of the car.He gaped at the imposing young man before him.He had once worked with Leon Corporation before, so there was no way he could be mistaken. Although Leon Corporation saw it as a small collaboration, it was a huge deal to Wayne at that time. He had been lucky enough to meet the CEO too.He was certain that this man was Matthew.Matthew did not care about him at all. Wayne’s existence was like air to him. What did it matter that Wayne had worked with him before? Countless companies had worked with Leon Corporation, so why would Matthew bother to acquaint himself with people who were ranked lower than him in this world?He only had eyes for his wife!Matthew walked up to Lucy and took her hand lovingly. “Wifey, are you done? We can go get our clothes done now.”Sighing, Lucy rolled her eyes at him. “Can’t you see that I have a client with me? Why did yo

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
