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

Matthew walked up to Lucy and hugged her, breathing in the scent of her. He whispered in her ear, “You smell so good, and your skin feels so soft. I just want to hold you like this and take you home.”Lucy’s ears turned red. She felt powerless in Matthew’s embrace. That jerk did not even care about the fact that they were in public!All the staff there averted their gaze. Some were even staring at the floor, counting how many tiles there were. No one dared to look at Matthew and Lucy.After Matthew reluctantly let go of Lucy, he took her delicate hand and said, “Wifey, let’s go. We haven’t picked out jewelry yet.”Lucy silently massaged her temples, feeling exhausted at this point.“Matt, why do we have to pick out jewelry? Isn’t jewelry and accessories the fashion designer’s job? Why do we have to pick them out ourselves?”Matthew shrugged. “I just want you to wear what you like.”Only afterward did he realize something. “Wifey, are you tired?”Lucy wearily nodded. Yes, she wa

Whitney Collins was biting her nails angrily, completely disregarding her usual ladylike demeanor.Who was that woman, and why was she appearing next to Matthew when Whitney was the only one who was allowed to be by his side?Not to mention, the person responsible for arranging the seating this time must have been a fool. Why would they place her seat so far away from Matthew's when they grew up together? They should have seated her closer to him. What would others think if they saw her sitting this far away from him?She would have to talk to Madam Leon when she got back. The person responsible for the seating today was done for!With those thoughts in mind, Whitney stood up from her seat with the intention of walking over to Matthew.She did not care what anyone said.

She would draw too much attention if she left her seat wh

Was Matthew planning to bid on that? By the time she realized it, Matthew had already called out a bid.“30 million.”Everyone was silent. That piece of jewelry had just been valued at about 22 million, but Leon Corporation’s CEO had bid a higher price than it was valued at.This was only the first item.Everyone stopped bidding because the bidder was Matthew. If he wanted something, he would make sure he got it.It was because of his power that even if he bid a very low price, no one in the audience would dare to bid against him. Moreover, this was just a piece of jewelry and not some huge item. He was probably just trying to cheer his wife up.The Mermaid Tears was beautiful, but it was best not to step on Matthew’s toes“Are there any higher bidders?”The auctioneer called out on stage, but no one responded.“30 million going once.”Still, no one responded. “30 million going twice.”“32 million!”A gentle voice called out from below the stage. Everyone turned to look in

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
