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

Matthew withdrew his gaze and said, “Alright, if you’ll excuse us, we’ll be leaving.”Matthew gave Wayne a nod and got into the car with Lucy’s hand in his.As soon as Matthew left, Wayne breathed a sigh of relief. As expected from the CEO of Leon Corporation, his aura was truly impressive.If he had disagreed with Matthew earlier, he was certain that his business would be done for.He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and left Lucy’s company with Amy seeing him off.…In the car, Lucy pinched Matthew’s waist angrily. “Why did you pull me away so suddenly just now? I hadn't even said bye to Mr. Erlington yet. That’s very rude.”Lucy’s pinch hurt a lot, but Matthew could only endure it and apologize to his wife, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Ouch, it hurts. Stop pinching me.”After hearing Matthew’s cries, Lucy let go.He quickly rubbed the area that hurt and looked at her apologetically. “I just missed you so much. I’m sure Mr. Erlington is magnanimous enough to understand.“Wh

Lucy was at a loss. What should she say? Were all designers this free-spirited and unconcerned about what others thought of them, or…Was this Matthew’s idea of fashion? She looked at Matthew hesitantly and asked, “Matthew, you’re not expecting me to wear that, are you?”Although Matthew was not the designer, Lucy was already convinced that he would make her wear that.Matthew’s gaze darkened as he realized that his wife’s image of him was in shambles.He shouted at the designer with annoyance, “Richard, what are you doing?”Richard Armani stiffened when he heard him. Turning around, he saw the furious Matthew and the bewildered Lucy.Richard’s eyes lit up, and he went up to kiss Matthew on the cheek. “Ciao, Signor Leon. It’s been so long since I last saw you. Did you miss me?”Signor Leon…Lucy was once again thrown off guard. Why was she suddenly transported back to her middle school Italian class?Matthew’s veins were bulging. “I know that’s what you like to call me, but pl

"Enough. Let’s talk business. What ideas do you have for my wife’s gown?”Matthew forcefully redirected the conversation back to the main topic. Lucy perked up, knowing that they had arrived at the main focus of today. Richard stopped fooling around and started to show his professional side. He skillfully scanned Lucy. The more he observed, the more impressed he was.“Your wife has an excellent figure. She’s considered perfect according to beauty standards. Her skin is exceptionally fair, and with her grace, she’s truly exquisite.”Despite being judged by Richard, Lucy was not the slightest bit upset. Perhaps it was because of Richard’s attentive and earnest demeanor.He seemed like he was genuinely committed to designing the perfect gown for her.After meticulously taking Lucy's measurements, Richard lowered his head in contemplation for a moment. Then, he looked up with an air of confidence.“Matthew, I think I have an idea for a design that would suit your wife. Like I menti

With a scowl, Matthew snatched the sketch right before Lucy’s eyes and flung it at Richard’s face. “No, absolutely not! This sketch is unacceptable. Redesign it.”Richard took the sketch off his face with confusion as if he was seeing Matthew for the first time. “Why not? Isn’t the sketch nice?”He was truly puzzled.Matthew had just said that everything was up to him and that he trusted his vision. Why was it that as soon as Richard finished his sketch, Matthew said that it was unacceptable?Matthew glared at Richard and said, “What’s so nice about a draft that took 20 minutes to draw? Go draw another one.”That was not what he said earlier!Lucy was getting even more confused. She thought that the dress was pretty nice.Despite the sketch only taking 20 minutes, the design incorporated fashion elements from all over the globe, which Lucy quite liked.Lucy glowered at Matthew, but there was nothing she could do to refute him.The Italian man was perplexed by the American man’

That was it? Matthew rejected dozens of Richard's sketches just because of that?Richard looked at Matthew in disbelief, unable to hide his disdain. “Signor Leon, this is where you’re wrong. You shouldn’t restrict women from wearing beautiful clothes. Besides, none of the designs are skimpy. They don't expose anything inappropriate."Matthew frowned at Richard and said discontentedly, “I told you to call me Matthew. As for the fabric, how is that enough? How is it not revealing when it looks to me as if you’re revealing everything? "You've exposed a bit of the waist, the wrists, the thighs, and the shoulders… Can’t you add more fabric?”Lucy finally understood where the problem lay.She looked at Matthew expressionlessly and thought, ‘Matthew, do you even know what you’re talking about? Even someone like me, who doesn’t work in the fashion industry, knows that all dresses nowadays reveal some part of a woman’s body to make her look sexier.’If she did not have to go to work and

After a considerable amount of time, Richard handed the sketch to Lucy.Lucy felt somewhat surprised. After Richard spent so long sketching, the end result seemed unexpectedly… ordinary? She looked down with a confused expression. The dress featured a conservative round neckline and uniquely designed sleeves with flowing fabric that draped elegantly.The waist was cinched, and even the skirt’s hem had undergone significant alterations from the original design. While the first dress had a voluminous, petal-like appearance, this one resembled an unbloomed lily. It was form-fitting yet did not overly accentuate the hips and legs.Overall, it was beautiful, but…Everyone’s partners would surely be dressed lavishly at the auction. Would her simple attire embarrass Matthew?Once again, she found herself worrying about unnecessary things.Having looked at the dress design, Lucy passed the sketch to Matthew.This time, Matthew looked satisfied. Everything that should and should not be

Since Richard had to stay up late to make the gown, he quickly got his fabric and entered his studio. He completely ignored Matthew and Lucy, who were still in his home.Seeing how seriously Richard took the dress, Matthew did not argue with him. Instead, he took his wife to the next location.“Now that the dress is ready, your skin needs to be taken care of too.”Lucy had been working overtime and staying up late so much that her skin had gotten a lot worse. Although she did skincare at home, Matthew thought he should take her to do a facial before tomorrow’s big event.…On the way to the beauty salon, Lucy looked at Matthew with mixed feelings. Was this not the kind of thing she was supposed to do with her best friend?Why did Matthew seem so familiar with these things?After they arrived at the beauty salon, Lucy was greeted by groups of people on both sides the moment she stepped out of the car.The beauticians, manager, and staff of the salon were lined up at the entrance

As Gabriella examined the luxurious clothes, bags, shoes, and pants, she could not help but feel that Lucy was completely unappreciative of such treasures.

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
