Everyone wanted it.The bidding got increasingly higher.100 million, 200 million, 300 million… Lucy watched this in shock. This was so exaggerated.That was just an envelope, and it was already worth more than a hundred million.Lucy looked at Matthew. His chin was resting in his hand as he watched this with disinterest. Nothing about the envelope seemed to spark any interest in him.She blurted out in the end, “Why are they auctioning that envelope off with such a high price, Matthew?”Matthew straightened up when his wife asked the question. He began to explain this to Lucy properly, “How should I put it? I’ll make it short. "The royal family of Charleston is very powerful, but it’s clear that they’ve met with some sort of trouble that they aren’t able to solve. They need the help of outside influence, and the way they’re doing it is just slightly unique.” This puzzled Lucy further. “I can’t understand what kind of problem they’re facing, but isn’t there an easier way to

Meanwhile, a very beautiful but stubborn young woman in the palace of Charleston was smashing the vases in her room.Charlotte was enraged as she smashed the vases and said, “Why do you mean I’m not their real daughter? Don’t worry! Once we find her, I won’t stop her from taking my place as the precious daughter in the palace.”The angry Charlotte finally smashed the last vase in her hand and sat down on a stool in a huff. She bit her fingernails while still looking angry.“There'll probably be no place for me here once the real princess is found.”She could not accept it. She had been happy in the palace, and there was no reason to get another person to share the love she enjoyed. Charlotte made the decision to make a call. Someone picked up, and a respectful voice was heard on the other end.“Is there anything you need me to do, Your Highness?”“Aile, we’ve known each other for more than 20 years, right?”The man on the other end of the call laughed. “Of course. We grew up tog

My mom misses you a lot, Matthew. When are you free to drop by the house?”Matthew was a little taken aback to have been stopped by Whitney.He had grown up with her. Despite the fact that his mother had tried to matchmake them, he still had a slight soft spot for her. He answered her patientl

Matthew patted Lucy’s head adoringly. “Let’s go home.”He nodded at Whitney after that. “We’ll be heading home first. Have fun. Feel free to enjoy the rest of the evening.”Matthew brushed past Whitney after that, and she trembled with anger.Whitney was furious. Matthew was ignoring her because of that vixen. He used to put Whitney first in everything.Was that woman’s name Lucy Quinn? Whitney decided to show her one day.Lucy had no idea that Whitney was cooking up schemes against her. She felt a chill.“Don’t you like Whitney, wifey?Lucy was unprepared for Matthew to ask this question.She was shocked. Lucy looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on as her eyes widened at Matthew. She blurted out, “How did you know?”He had no idea how to react to her question. It turned out his guess was true.“Your attitude toward Whitney was so obvious. My wife has always been a polite person and won’t dislike someone for no reason. Can you tell me why you don’t like her?”Lucy

Lucy blinked. Her big, round eyes made her look innocent. “I just feel that the insignia looks familiar. If I told you about it, you would've bid on it.”Why would she buy something so useless for ten billion?Lucy rolled her eyes. Forget about it. She was not interested in it at all. Moreover, she might have seen it by accident somewhere else, which was why she found the insignia familiar. It could just be deja vu.“Don’t be anxious, Matthew.”Matthew frowned. “This isn’t something minor. Do you realize that the only way to get involved with Charleston is that recent mission they have in that envelope?”He was worried for Lucy’s safety and decided to arrange a few more bodyguards for her.…Meanwhile, at the Collins’ residence, Oliver had just received the envelope from Whitney. There was a gold name card inside with a contact number.His hands were trembling with excitement. This was a rare opportunity. He had actually gotten a contact in Charleston. His company would grow ev

“Hello.”It was a warm and gentle voice. “May I know if you’re the person who accepted the mission from Charleston?” Oliver was immediately wary. Who was this person? How did he know how to contact Oliver? Oliver was reminded of the warning given to him by Charleston's point of contact and said righteously, “Are you kidding me? You must be crazy. I know this is a scam. Stop harassing me.”There was silence. The other party did not expect Oliver to react this way. He tried to calm Oliver down patiently. “Don’t worry. I got your contact through legitimate means.“I'd like to discuss something with you. I work for the princess, and she'd like to find out what kind of person her long-lost elder sister is like. Can you report to me first in regards to any news on the missing princess? I’d be happy to pay you in advance.”An alarm went off in Oliver’s head. His mind was filled with images of the royal family tearing into each other and the women looking viciously at one another, brimmi

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

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
