After three silent minutes, Chelsea turned away from Lucy’s coffin.Everyone there knew that Chelsea was Lucy’s best friend. When they saw her leaving the coffin without even showing the slightest hint of reluctance, they started feeling disdainful.What kind of person was she? Her best friend had just passed away, but she only mourned for three minutes. It was like Lucy was just a stranger to her. It seemed like Lucy did not have a good eye for people.Just as they were thinking this, the next scene proved them very wrong.Chelsea did not leave the funeral after stepping away from the coffin. Instead, she walked up to Matthew.She did not say a word at first, but after her silence, she slapped Matthew across the face.Matthew was caught off guard by her action. He understood why she slapped him, so he remained silent.Chelsea took his silence for guilt, and she said, “You despicable man! I entrusted you with Lulu. Why didn’t you protect her?”Matthew remained silent. Could he

When Hugh saw Chelsea’s unresponsive state, he sensed that something was wrong.Chelsea was a kind-hearted woman. Even if someone she barely knew was going through a hard time, she would feel sad for them for a long time.Today was her best friend's funeral, so there was no doubt that it had taken a huge toll on her. Seeing Chelsea’s vacant eyes, Hugh gritted his teeth.He said to Matthew, “I’m sorry, but I’ll have to take Chelsea back with me.”Without paying attention to the others present, he carried Chelsea to his Bentley and drove away.Everyone was surprised to see Hugh there.“Wait a minute, that’s…”“Isn’t that the CEO of the top eighth company in the world?”“I heard that he didn’t want to inherit the family business when he was younger, so he went out and started his own company from scratch. Now, that company is ranked in the top 50 globally.”“Is Ms. King his girlfriend?”The crowd let out low murmurs in disbelief. What was with these two best friends? Both of the

Lucy found herself in a disconcerting darkness. She knew she was asleep, but her mind was wide awake. Yet, her eyes refused to open as if she had lost control of her body while seated on the plane.A sense of fear surged within her, and she thought to herself, ‘Wake up! I don’t want to be trapped in the dark. It’s too scary, and there’s nothing in here, just me.’She was crying for help in her heart, and the physical manifestation of her distress was the two teardrops that trickled down from the corner of her eyes. She wanted to reach out to the outside world for help, but who was going to lend her a hand in the dark realm of her dreams? Lucy’s tears flowed even faster.Cillian noticed Lucy’s unusual state and became worried.Was she having a nightmare?He gently called out to her, “Lucy, Lucy? Wake up. It’s just a dream. Come on, wake up.”Despite his efforts to shake her awake, Lucy remained asleep.In Lucy’s mind, she was screaming, ‘I know this is a dream, but I can’t wake u

Cillian was relieved to see that Lucy was awake. He asked with concern, “Lucy, how are you feeling? Are you feeling any discomfort? You were crying just now. Did you have a bad dream?”With so many questions bombarding her at once, Lucy was at a loss for words. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine. Maybe I’m just a little nervous about going to an unfamiliar country.”At the same time, it was because there was no one familiar around her. If Chelsea were here, Lucy would not have ended up like this because Chelsea’s presence was comforting and familiar to her.She was not saying that Cillian was not great. It was just that she only remembered spending one year with him. Not to mention, Cillian was much fatter back then.The new Cillian was fit, tall, and even looked a little hot, making it hard for her to get used to him.Oblivious to Lucy’s crooked thoughts, Cillian was just relieved to see that she was fine. He handed her a cup of honey water.“Have something sweet. It’ll help

However, Lucy quickly realized that her plans were foiled as she stared blankly at the afternoon sun in Charleston.Cillian thought that Lucy was not used to the time difference, so he comforted her, “There’s a time difference between Charleston and our country, but you’ll be fine. You might feel sleepy in another couple of hours, but to not mess with your circadian rhythm, it’s best if you don’t sleep yet. It’s a good chance for you to adjust your internal clock.”Lucy was speechless. She had just decided to stay up late. Now, she was forced to adjust her circadian rhythm? Lucy grabbed her luggage and prepared to hail a taxi to their pre-booked hotel.A few steps in, Lucy felt her luggage getting taken from her hands by Cillian.Cillian smiled at her and said, “I’m the man here. How can I let a woman carry her own luggage? Let’s go. I’ll show you the way.”With an oversized travel bag on his back and a small pink suitcase in his hand, Cillian walked down the streets of Charleston

Cillian was at a loss after hearing Lucy’s question. “Well, not exactly. This is just where we’ll be staying temporarily, but we might be here for a while before we find a permanent place to stay.”After his response, Lucy muttered, “Oh, I see. Alright then. I’ll hang up my clothes in the wardrobe for now. I’ll just fold them back in when the time comes.“By the way, this room must be expensive,” she said as she looked around her room. There was a large bed, a two-seater table with tea sets on it, and a television. Moreover, the room was much more spacious than normal hotel rooms. What surprised her the most were the cosmetics in front of the mirror. They were all high-end brands, with each product costing more than four figures.“How much does a room like this cost?”Cillian smiled wryly at her question. As the wife of Leon Corporation’s heir, he would expect her to be complaining about the room. It was just slightly fancier than a standard room. It was nothing compared to the r

It was a sunny day, and Lucy found herself lazing around in her room, scrolling on her phone. After a while, she listlessly set her phone aside, feeling bored.As Matthew said, Lucy came here to lay low.Cillian came with her too, but his case was different. He needed a believable reason for coming to Charleston, which was to complete the assignment his professor gave him. Hence, he would go out early in the morning to gather information, leaving Lucy alone in the hotel.Lucy lay down on the hotel bed, stretching lazily.She muttered to herself, “I’m so bored. Why didn’t Matthew give me something to bring to Charleston so that I could entertain myself?”The more Lucy thought about it, the more restless she became. Suddenly, she jumped up from the bed. “Since I’m bored, I might as well go out and find a guest house. I can’t stand sitting in the hotel every day.”Lucy first sent a message to Cillian, informing him of her whereabouts. Then, she grabbed a bag and stuffed her phone,

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

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
