Chapter 22

Author: Tang Eighteen
Lucy took a bite of the meatloaf and shot a smile at Matthew.

The nervous Matthew looked at her and asked, “How is it? Is it good?”

It felt nice to see him so antsy. Lucy replied, “It’s delicious.”

It really did taste good. The meat was tender and juicy.

Lucy tried all the dishes and complimented him, “Matthew, you’re quite the cook.”

After getting her approval, Matthew sat down and grinned from ear to ear like a happy child.

He did not eat much. Instead, he kept putting more food on Lucy’s plate.

Lucy almost teared up. No one had been this nice to her in many years.

When he saw her reach for more ribs, he said, “I’ll eat every meal with you from now on, and we’ll have all your favorite foods. No matter what it is you want to do, I’ll do it with you!”

His sudden statement made Lucy freeze, but her heart was pounding.

No one had ever said that to her.

She was doubtful about how she felt. She had loved Timothy for so many years, so how could she suddenly develop feelings for a

    The voice that came out of nowhere caught Timothy off guard. His expression sank as he looked around to find out who said that.A pretty and energetic-looking young woman was standing in the middle of the road. She was all fired up after hearing how Timothy distorted the truth.The reporters quickly turned their cameras to the woman as if they were predators who had locked onto their prey.When the woman appeared on television, Lucy was surprised. Was that not her best friend, Chelsea?“Why is Chelsea at the entrance of Lucas Corporation?”Lucy immediately shook her head and said, “No, now’s not the time to think about that. Chelsea is going to get bullied!”Lucy became fretful at the thought of her best friend being around that unsightly couple.At the same time, Matthew sat down next to Lucy.He patted the back of her hand and comforted her, “Don’t worry. Have some apples. We’ll go over there after this.”“But…” Lucy was getting worried.“Besides, it doesn’t look like your

    Chelsea was furious at what Timothy and Luna said. She had called Timothy shameless just now, but that did no justice to describe just how awful the man was. With his eloquence and the ability to twist words, he should just go and host a talk show!She was certain he could make the audience roar with laughter.Seeing as Chelsea was speechless, Timothy prodded her again.“I said, where’s the proof?”Chelsea froze. She had never even met Lulu’s new husband before, so she did not know what else to say at this moment.She had no proof to show to Timothy.During the five years that Lucy and Timothy were together, he only took her seriously in the first year. After that, he practically ignored her.Previously, when Lulu whined about her period cramps to Timothy, he would just brush her off.Even when he told her to take care of herself, he would say so in a reproachful manner despite Lulu's whimpers. Moreover, every time they went out, Luna was the one riding shotgun instead of L

    Timothy looked at Lucy standing there and ridiculed, “You sure are well-informed, seeing as you arrived so quickly.”“Was I supposed to just stand by while I watched you and Luna bully Chelsea?”She was usually a soft-spoken lady, but at that moment, she was surprisingly relentless.“How could you say that, Lucy? I was just telling the truth. I didn’t bully Chelsea!”After hearing that, Luna broke away from Timothy’s arms. Displaying her round, innocent-looking eyes, she intentionally stood in front of the camera.“I was just asking Chelsea to persuade you to come home. Mom told me that you fought with her yesterday. She’s worried about you.”“Stop with that act of yours. Everything you said just now was full of lies. Do you think people are foolish enough to believe you?”Chelsea’s full attention was on Lucy after she arrived, but when Luna spoke, she immediately turned to shoot her a glare.Pitiful tears welled up in Luna’s eyes as she said, “I didn’t lie. I’m very close to m

    Like sharks smelling blood, the reporters instantly stretched their microphones forward.Looking at the eager reporters, Matthew frowned and pulled Lucy behind him.Only then did the reporters notice the man in front of them. They were all stunned. Was this the freeloader that Timothy had just talked about? Was he joking or was he blind? The man in front of them looked like someone who had been accustomed to bossing people around for ages.How could someone like him be a freeloader?Did Timothy say those words because he felt threatened by this man? After the reporters came to their senses, they stepped forward again…However, Matthew noticed their movements and shot them a warning look.The reporters were so frightened that they immediately regretted doing so. They could already tell that this man was not just an ordinary person, and he seemed to be on a whole other level compared to Timothy. Why did they even try to get closer?After making sure that the reporters did not tr

    None of the reporters present were looking at Timothy.Even a fool could tell that Matthew was someone of high status. They dared not get into trouble with someone like him.Only an idiot like Timothy would call this imposing man someone’s love affair.They had already gotten their hands on a piece of breaking news, so it was better for them to stay low and not offend anyone.The reporters had it all figured out.Matthew, the supposed lover boy, smiled nonchalantly. “You’re not wrong.”Lucy and Chelsea looked at Matthew in disbelief.Was he out of his mind? After spending a few days with him, Lucy was certain that Matthew was not short of money at all. It was likely that he owned a business.What was he thinking, admitting that he was her lover?On the other hand, Chelsea was having different thoughts.Holy fuck! That man really was a freeloader! He was really putting his looks to good use…If he was using Lulu’s money and planned to live off her, he should at least be nice

    Timothy looked at the car speeding off with a sullen face. It seemed like Lucy had found herself a powerful man. The man’s threat earlier gave Timothy a bad feeling.Luna had a bad feeling too, so she said to Timothy worriedly, “Tim, what did he mean by that? Is everything going to be okay?”The sight of Luna’s pretty face calmed his anger. He smiled at her and said, “It’s going to be okay. I’ll take care of anything that comes our way.”After hearing his words, Luna felt a wave of relief wash over her.In the luxury car, Chelsea was sitting in the back seat, staring blankly at the interior for a long time.In the front passenger seat, Lucy looked at her best friend worriedly. Why had she not said anything? Was she still mad at what Timothy and Luna had said to her?Lucy called out to her, “Chelsea.”Chelsea finally came to her senses. She looked at Lucy in shock and blurted, “Lulu, is this your car?”“Pfft.”While driving, Matthew laughed at what she said. Then, he cleared hi

    Chelsea’s words made Lucy blush, and she felt a warmth surge through her. No one was as genuine to her as her best friend.Then, Lucy froze.Chelsea should learn to control herself. Could she not sense Matthew looking at her?Especially when Chelsea mentioned that there were plenty of other fish in the sea, Matthew looked like he was going to stab Chelsea.She was afraid that her newlywed husband would stop the car and beat up her best friend.Chelsea should have waited to tell her these things when he was not around. Lucy wanted to cry, but her eyes were dry.It was unfortunate that Chelsea could not read Lucy's thoughts. Then, Matthew voiced out, “Ms. King, there may be plenty of fish in the sea, but I doubt any of them are better than me.”Chelsea choked when she realized that Matthew had heard everything she just said.Suddenly, the air was tense.Chelsea was so embarrassed she could crawl into a hole.Wait a minute. She was giving her best friend advice. Who was he to

    ”Can you take good care of Lulu?”Chelsea started things up again after they had just calmed down. What was Chelsea trying to do? Lucy was in despair as she did not want to get back out onto the battlefield.Matthew said calmly with a hint of determination in his voice, “Of course, I’ll take good care of her. There’s no doubt about it.”Chelsea was slightly less worried now, but she was still unconvinced.“How are you going to promise me that? Timothy said the same thing, but look at him now!”Chelsea got worked up when she mentioned Timothy, but she managed to restrain herself.“I’m sorry about that, but please answer my question.”Matthew continued to drive and answered without glancing back at Chelsea, “Seriously, why do all of you like comparing me to an asshole? I’m not like him. Although you can’t use my words as proof…”“So, you're aware as well that it’s all just empty words," Chelsea interrupted him.“Chelsea!”Lucy was getting a little angry, but she knew that Che

    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
