Chapter 199

Author: Tang Eighteen
The employee at Leon Corporation had just been hung up on and was feeling unsure. Should she tell Mr. Leon about the call? The man on the other end had warned that if the CEO did not hear about this and the news turned out to be true, there would be trouble.

The woman took a deep breath and dialed the CEO's private line. This number was usually only dialed by the supervisors. Even though everyone knew it, no one else ever dared to dial it.

This was her first time making such a call, and she was really nervous.

The call was answered quickly, and Matthew's clear voice came through. "What is it?"

The sound of the CEO's cold voice made the employee worry even more. She wondered if she might lose her job for sharing this news.

With her heart pounding, she said to the CEO, "I just got a call. A man named Cillian said he and your wife got into a car accident. They're at the First People's Hospital now, and he said you should come fast."

There was a brief silence on the line, then the so

    Matthew was at a loss for words. He could not think of anything to say back to Cillian.He knew that with his own status, being a target for assassins was not surprising. He wondered which business rival might be behind it.Cillian's eyes turned even colder when Matthew stopped arguing. "Remember what I said? If you ever treat her badly, I won't think twice about taking her back.""Don't even dream about it."Matthew might be feeling guilty that Lucy was in this mess because of him, but he was not about to back down."I'm the one married to Lucy now, not you."What gave Cillian the right to keep challenging him?Cillian just rolled his eyes and did not reply. If Lucy had not gone abroad, if she had not said yes to Timothy, and if he had been with her for those four years, he was sure he would be the one married to her and not Matthew.He kept that thought to himself. Arguing was pointless. The most important thing was Lucy's well-being."Are you even listening? Someone's paid

    "Lucy, did you just call me the class rep?”Cillian asked Lucy cautiously while Lucy looked at him with confusion. “What else should I be calling you?”Frowning, she looked Cillian up and down before saying suspiciously, “Class rep, did you get liposuction done? How did you lose so much weight overnight?”Cillian gulped. If Lucy was addressing him as 'class rep' and said that he lost so much weight overnight, did that mean that Lucy only retained her memories up till her college days? She even asked if he had gone abroad too. That meant that…Cillian looked at Matthew gloatingly. Could there be anything more painful than having his own wife not recognize him after a car accident? Cillian laughed inwardly, but on the outside, he shook his head at Lucy.If that was the case, it would be better for him to explain the situation to Lucy because Matthew was still a stranger to her. “You’re in your 20s, and you graduated college a long time ago. You’re not in New York either. In other wo

    The doctor paused while writing down the medical records. He lifted his head to look at Lucy in surprise, then at the tall and handsome Matthew in front of him. Finally, he looked at Cillian, who was gloating at Matthew’s misfortune.He silently put down his pen and began analyzing Lucy's condition. “You may have hit your head during the accident and suffered a concussion, resulting in memory loss. Let’s start by getting an X-ray so that I can assess the problem more accurately.”While the doctor was advising Lucy on the precautions she should take, Matthew drifted into a blank state. His face was void of emotion.What was he going to do? After the doctor left, the entire ward fell into a suffocating silence.In the end, it was Cillian who broke the awkward silence between the two. He cleared his throat and said to both of them, “What are you two doing, staring at each other like that? Are you two in a staring contest or what?”His words snapped Lucy and Matthew out of their tranc

    Although Matthew explained it tactfully, Lucy was still stunned when she heard about it. She had mentally prepared herself, but she never would have imagined that to be the reason she broke up with Timothy.Timothy broke up with her after cheating on her with another woman!If that was the case, she was not upset at all, nor did she feel even an ounce of heartbreak. It was as if she did not give a damn at all.How was this real? Just a moment ago, she was on the phone with Timothy. Now, she felt nothing toward him. Matthew carefully observed Lucy, but apart from the lifelessness in her eyes, Matthew did not notice anything unusual.He was relieved to see that his wife did not seem bothered by this.“By the way, if you fell in love with me at first sight, did you study abroad in New York too?”Lucy stared at him suspiciously.For some reason, she had a feeling that the man in front of her was lying.Matthew felt insanely guilty on the inside, but he showed no emotion on his fa

    Matthew helped Cillian onto his wheelchair and pushed him out of the ward. As they left, Matthew did not forget to smile and playfully joke with Lucy, “Wifey, I’m taking Cillian out for a walk. You should get some rest and don’t overexert yourself. It’s not good for your recovery.”Meanwhile, Cillian had a deadpan expression on his face in the wheelchair.What the hell was this guy saying?What did he mean by talking Cillian out for a walk? Matthew made it sound like he was taking a dog out for a walk.Cillian was burning with anger, but at the thought of Spades, he had no choice but to endure it.If it were not for Lucy’s situation, he would have settled things with this guy today.In the ward, Lucy was bewildered. Why could they not discuss whatever they wanted to discuss here? Why did Matthew have to push a grown man out?She simply could not understand it, so she decided not to dwell on it. Instead, she lay down, covered herself with a blanket, and closed her eyes.Perhaps

    Matthew fell silent.“Since you don’t have any solutions, you might as well listen to my suggestion.”Cillian took the opportunity to offer him his advice. Matthew looked at Cillian with suspicion and doubt. He wondered what an ordinary college student like Cillian could possibly come up with when even he could not come up with a solution.From his gaze, Cillian knew what he was thinking, so he glanced back at him indifferently. “My last name is Sullivan.”That sentence triggered something in Matthew’s mind. If his last name was Sullivan and he claimed to have a solution to this matter… Matthew instantly thought of a prominent political family.Most of the Sullivan family members were prominent politicians, each holding high government positions all across the country. They were known for their integrity and uprightness. They could be considered the backbone of the nation. Without them, the nation would undoubtedly suffer a huge blow.Matthew was taken aback. He never thought t

    "It’s exactly because my wife has studied there that we can’t send her there. There might be people in New York who would recognize her. If that happens, all our efforts will be in vain.”Cillian retorted, rolling his eyes. “So, what you’re saying is that our efforts won’t be in vain if we send her to Charleston?”That was exactly what Matthew meant. Charleston had strict border control, so very few people could enter the country. Lucy had never been there before either, so it was unlikely that anyone would recognize her there.However, a problem arose. “She’s unfamiliar with both the people and the place. Without anyone to take care of her, won't it be dangerous for her to be alone?”Matthew looked at Cillian as if he were an idiot. “You seemed pretty smart just now. How did you turn into an idiot all of a sudden? Leon Corporation is the top global enterprise, and I have businesses in every country. I can ensure my wife’s safety in Charleston.”Cillian fell silent. In that case,

    In the faraway royal palace of Charleston, the family was having their long-awaited annual gathering. Everyone at the table was having a good time.However, something was not quite right. Sitting at the head of the table, the queen was robotically cutting her steak and absentmindedly stuffing it into her mouth. Her gaze was unfocused as she was lost in thought.The king noticed that the queen was distracted, so he asked with concern, “My dear, what’s wrong? You seem preoccupied today.”The queen snapped out of her reverie and smiled at her husband. She shook her head and said, “Nothing’s wrong, my dear. I was just informed a moment ago that our precious little princess has been found. I believe that she’ll be brought back very soon.”She lowered her head, her eyes filled with infinite anticipation. “I wonder what kind of personality our little princess has. Will she be as adorable as Charlotte? Just thinking about it makes me so excited.”The king shook his head helplessly and loo

    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
