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,

The girl’s question caught Lucy off guard, and she instinctively denied, “No, I'm not looking for anyone.”“Then why are you going in circles?“Oh, I know!” the girl exclaimed while Lucy was finding an excuse.She said cheerfully, “Are you walking around here because you’re a tourist? If that’s the case, I can show you around. I know many fun places here.”Her suggestion enlightened Lucy all of a sudden. She was right. If she could not find her way, she could just ask for directions, but it seemed like there was no need for that anymore. The little girl said that she knew the place well.Lucy’s face lit up with a smile. “Can you lead me to a guest house?”The little girl tilted her head with her hand on her chin as if she were in deep thought.“Miss, do you mean the places where you can rent a room?”The little girl was so adorable that Lucy was clutching her chest. In her heart, she was screaming, ‘Ah, she’s so cute! I wish I could have a child like her in the future.’Sudden

The woman nodded firmly. She could tell that this young lady was in a hurry to find a place to stay.She pointed to the top two floors of the apartment and said, “We’re renting the top two floors. On the second floor, we have a bedroom, a small living room, and a bathroom.“There’s also a small office with a computer and a desk, so you can draw or do work inside.“The third-floor layout is similar to the second floor, but without the office. However, the third floor gets a lot of sunlight and has a good view of the area. Would you like to take a look, miss?”Lucy’s eyes lit up as she heard the woman’s description.Renting out both floors would be convenient as she and Cillian could each have a floor to themselves. Moreover, the second floor had an office desk, which would be perfect for Cillian to work on his papers during his stay in Charleston.Plus, she noticed earlier that there was a small balcony on the third floor with some tables and chairs outside. During her free time,

Lucy did the mental calculations. If one floor cost 3,500 dollars, renting both floors would cost 7,000 dollars a month.Since she was not sure how long she would stay in Charleston, she conservatively estimated that she would stay for a year.For 12 months, the total would be 84,000 dollars.Lucy furrowed her brows in distress. Back at home with the Quinn family, she never lacked allowance, but coming up with 84,000 dollars at once was not easy.She opened her purse and took out a black card.She hesitated before taking it out. It was given to her by Matthew before she left. Perhaps this card could help her pay the rent.She was not sure whether there was enough money in the card. If there was not enough, this would not end well.Lucy had never seen the card before, so she did not know that the black card had unlimited credit. Any expenses she made would be recorded by the bank, and specialized personnel would settle the payments each month.Moreover, the card was accepted int

Lucy stretched lazily as she strolled along the path, leisurely admiring the blooming flowers.Thanks to the guidance of the little girl, she managed to find her way back. She planned to return to the hotel for a meal before telling Cillian the good news.After she made up her mind, Lucy’s phone suddenly rang. Startled, she took out her phone and saw that it was Cillian.How strange. Why was he calling at this time? Was he not supposed to be completing the assignment his professor gave him? Despite her confusion, Lucy answered the call.“Hello, Cillian. What’s the matter?”Cillian’s anxious voice came through the phone. “Lucy, where did you go? Why aren’t you in the hotel?”Lucy was bewildered. “Didn’t I text you just now? I went out to look for somewhere permanent to stay. The hotel may be nice, but we can’t stay there forever.”Cillian sounded distressed. “I read your message, but you’ve been gone for so long that I got worried.”Lucy was being targeted for assassination by S

After ensuring Lucy was okay, the man seemed relieved. "You're alright? That's great. I saw you squatting in the road and thought something was wrong. I almost called an ambulance," he explained. Lucy could not help but feel a little exasperated. An ambulance seemed a bit excessive. She softly assured him, "Really, I'm fine. I'm not at the point of needing an ambulance." This made Augustus Scruggs laugh heartily. "You're quite the character." Lucy was at a loss for words. She thought, 'He thinks I'm funny? I'm just being honest.' "Hi, I'm Augustus Scruggs. What's your name?" he asked. "Hi, I'm Lucy Quinn," she replied with a nod. Thinking the conversation was over, she was surprised when Augustus grinned and squatted down too. He was mirroring her earlier posture. "Why don't I keep you company while you wait for your friend? It's not right to leave a lady waiting alone on the street, even if this place is safe." Lucy sighed and crouched down again, puzzled by his odd

Surprisingly, Cillian understood the look in Lucy’s eye. The corner of his mouth twitched as he said to the man in front of him with white hair, “My name is Cillian Sullivan. If there isn’t anything else, can I leave with my friend?”He made the request in a roundabout way, and the man could tell that they did not welcome him. He shrugged and let this be.It looked like this gentleman was quite uninteresting compared to that lady just now.Augustus said to Cillian while sucking on his lollipop, “You have plans of your own, don’t you? I won’t be disturbing you any longer. Have a safe journey.”He turned to face them and waved his hand as he left.Cillian looked at the white-haired man. He found that man a little strange.However, the most important thing to do now was to leave with Lucy.He got into the driver’s seat and put on his seatbelt. He then immediately drove off with Lucy.While inside the car, Cillian asked Lucy curiously, “How did you know that guy? He doesn’t look li

Theodore's sudden enthusiasm only puzzled Augustus. He stared at the messages sent over by Theodore.Why was he suddenly so concerned about this woman? Could he be curious about someone out there looking like him? Although, it did not make sense for Theodore to be asking for so much information about a woman who happened to look quite like him. It was creepy.Augustus had just replied to Theodore's messages when Theodore called him on the phone.He was feeling incredulous. This could not be happening. Could his friend be so narcissistic that he would like to date a woman who looked like him?Augustus gulped as if he had just discovered a big secret.He picked up the call. “What do you need, Theodore?” Theodore sounded a little anxious over the phone.“Augustus, tell me where you saw that woman. It’s very important.” When he heard Theodore sounding so anxious, Augustus got serious. Theodore had always been stoic and calm. He had never ever lost his cool like this before. This

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
