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

Meanwhile, while Lucy was in Cillian’s car, she quickly forgot about the strange albino man. She said happily to Cillian, “I found a guest house we can stay at, Cillian. I’ve paid a year’s rental for it.”Cillian was shocked by Lucy’s words. Even though he knew Lucy was trying to rent a place, he did not expect her to find somewhere so quickly. She had even paid the rental in full. Did she pay for him as well? “Did you pay my share too?” Cillian burst out asking while he was thinking about this.Lucy tilted her head to the side. “I did. You’re accompanying me here, after all.”Cillian’s mouth twitched. “How much is the rental? I’ll transfer it to you.”He took out his phone while talking about it.Lucy blinked. She suddenly remembered that she did not ask for Cillian’s opinion when she rented the place!Could there be something about that house he did not like?Lucy began to feel worried about this. “Um… I’m sorry, Cillian. I forgot to discuss this with you. I’ll cancel the rent

Even though it was just a flash, Lucy saw the man very clearly. It was the same face she would see every morning when she looked in the mirror.That man looked a lot like her. Lucy was so surprised that she almost stood up from the front passenger seat.However, her seatbelt stopped her. Safety first!Lucy’s big reaction caught Cillian’s attention.“What’s wrong? Did you see something strange? You look really surprised.”Lucy frowned grimly. She was being hunted down by Spades right now, and she even rolled down the window. If Lucy had just seen someone who knew her, it would be bad news.They had to make sure that it was a secret that she was still alive.Lucy shook her head in a daze. “No, it’s nothing.”However, she felt a little puzzled. Even though it was very quick, she was sure that the face she saw looked just like her.She had no other sister besides Luna Quinn. If that was true, who was the man who looked like her?Could that man be Zachary’s illegitimate son whom h

Augustus lowered his head in disappointment. He thought he was about to enjoy some gossip.“Tell me, why are you being so obsessed over this woman? You need to explain things to me. Please don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with her at first sight. I would never have thought of you as a narcissistic person.”Theodore rolled his eyes. It turned out this was how the people around him thought of him. Theodore shook his head. He still did not share his thoughts with Augustus. After all, he had no further news of the woman and they had not conducted any DNA test. Theodore did not want to make any assumptions under such circumstances. All he said to Augustus was, “There’s something very important I have to see that woman about. It’s regarding a secret of the royal family. I can’t tell you what it is.”Augustus sighed. It sounded like he still had a chance of finding gossip. He decided not to ask anything further about it.After all, he would find out the truth in the end.…As for L

She later gave him directions to their new home.Cillian followed her directions and drove to the guest house.When the woman in charge of the guest house saw an unfamiliar car parking out front and a familiar face coming out of it, she knew that Lucy was done packing up.She had just been washing something. She wiped her wet hands on her apron before walking out to welcome them. She said to Lucy, “You’re officially moving in now?After that, she saw Cillian getting out of the driver’s seat. There was a playful smile on her face as she asked, “Is this your husband?”Lucy was taken aback. She was reminded of Matthew, who was on the other side of the world. She shook her head. “No, he isn’t. That’s just my friend. My husband is working in the country and isn’t able to make time to be here at the moment.”The woman had a disapproving look in her eye. How could a husband not stay by his wife’s sid

Cillian had already placed all his belongings in his room by the time Lucy headed upstairs.He turned to look at Lucy, who had just arrived. He said, “I’m done unpacking. Do you need help with your luggage?”Cillian’s concern warmed Lucy’s heart. He was the person she knew best in this unfamiliar country, but she shook her head in rejection.“It’s fine. My things are pretty light. I can unpack them on my own. It'll just take a while.”Cillian smiled when Lucy rejected his offer. “Alright. Let me know how long you’ll take. I’ll plan the best time to prepare dinner.”Lucy looked at Cillian in surprise. She did not expect him to know how to cook, and a question popped into her mind.“Prepare dinner? Where are you planning to make dinner?”Cillian shook his head in exasperation. “I asked that lady where the kitchen was. All I need to do is go there to make dinner. Is there anything you’d like to have? Just let me know so I can make it for you in the future.”Lucy was so touched tha

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.

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.
