Chapter 250

Author: Tang Eighteen
Cillian glanced over at Lucy as she sneezed and asked with a hint of worry, "Feeling unwell? That sneeze came out of nowhere. Remember to bundle up at night and resist cranking the AC too high."

Lucy gave a resigned nod, but she was tempted to roll her eyes. Geez, Cillian was turning into a total mom—always fussing over her. Should she tell him to cut out the mother hen act?

She was thankful he could not hear her thoughts. He would be livid to know that his well-meaning concern was being met with such sass.

Seeing Lucy's compliant response, Cillian relaxed and shifted the conversation to more mundane topics. "You've got a new phone number, right? If there's anyone you need to keep in touch with, you'd better give them a heads-up about the change."

Lucy could not help but roll her eyes. She stayed silent.

It dawned on Cillian that they were in Charleston, far from home. Lucy had no old friends to call here. With her identity being a touchy subject, it was not wise for her to reach

    Unbothered by Chelsea’s reaction, Hugh continued persuading her, “Chelsea, for Lucy’s sake, can you please come out and eat just a little bit?”Chelsea closed her eyes, reluctantly put her phone down, and got out of bed like a robot.After she opened the door, Hugh’s face lit up as he finally got to see his girlfriend who had not left the room for days. However, he could tell from her gaunt face and bloodshot eyes that she had not had proper rest in a long time.Sighing, he carefully supported her to the dining table. “Chelsea, sit down first. Let me heat up the food.”Chelsea obediently sat down without saying anything.Hugh’s gaze dimmed. He knew that this was a psychological issue, so she needed time to heal. All he could do now was take care of Chelsea’s health.He put on the apron and reheated the food that had gone cold, but because of his lack of experience, he accidentally burned his hand on the bowl.He quickly ran his hand under cold water for a moment and ignored it.

    Things were starting to warm up on Chelsea’s side. Thankfully, they were gradually recovering from the shadow of Lucy’s death.Meanwhile, Lucy, who was supposed to be dead, was idling away in her room.She was truly bored, unlike Cillian, who had assignments from his professor. Thus, being in Charleston felt more like a vacation for Lucy.However, Cillian had recently warned her to be more cautious when going out. ‘For the sake of your safety’, as he liked to say.To avoid getting into trouble, Lucy tried to stay in as much as possible, but she knew she had to find something to do to keep herself from going crazy.Lucy opened her laptop and connected her tablet to it. She decided to revisit her old hobby—drawing fan art and comics.Although that was her plan, she did not know what to draw.She sighed. She could not just start a new comic. It was too much work. She would have to decide the plot and then the script. There was even the storyboarding element. She may be bored, but s

    Contrary to what Lucy was feeling, Theodore was ecstatic.He did not expect to be so lucky as to encounter Lucy in the garden. Looking at her face which bore a striking resemblance to his own, Theodore could not help but feel a sense of anticipation.Perhaps she was truly his long-lost sister whom he had never met before! It was their first time meeting, so he had to leave a good impression.He had already slighted her before, so he had better think it through before acting this time.While he was still thinking, he noticed that she had already turned to leave. He was stunned. Was he really that scary-looking?Duh! Anyone would be startled if they saw their doppelganger. Not to mention, Lucy had been encountering a lot of strange people recently, so it was natural for her to turn and walk away.Thankfully, Theodore realized what was happening, so he quickly caught up to her and grabbed her wrist. “Miss, wait a minute.”Lucy’s eyes twitched, and a bad feeling crept up to her.Ap

    Upon entering the café, Theodore summoned the waiter.The waiter handed menus to both of them and respectfully asked, “May I take your order, sir?”Theodore casually browsed through the menu and said to the waiter, “I’ll have a glass of iced Coke and one tiramisu.”Then, the waiter turned to Lucy and asked, “And what would you like to have, Miss?”Lucy felt a little bewildered by the situation. She thought they were here to discuss something. Why were they eating and drinking all of a sudden?Nonetheless, she realized that it might be awkward to have a conversation without ordering anything, so she went with it.She flipped through the menu and said to Theodore, “I’ll just have a cup of black tea.”Theodore nodded and told the waiter, “One cup of black tea, please.”Their order was relatively simple, so the waiter quickly served them.After taking a sip of her tea, Lucy asked, “So, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?”Theodore took a deep breath. Despite all that we

    Lucy rolled her eyes, unsure of what to say. This con artist was really giving it his all.She said to Theodore sarcastically, “How do you expect me to believe you? You’re making it sound like we’re in some kind of soap opera. These things don’t happen in real life.”She shrugged, trying to lighten the mood. “What? Are you going to tell me that you’re the prince and your long-lost sister is the princess?”Theodore was speechless. He was indeed the prince of Charleston, but the person in front of him clearly did not believe a word he said. He decided to hide that fact for now, in case it would make him seem even more like a fraud.In a somber tone, he explained, “I’m not sure if you’re my long-lost sister, so I want to get your DNA to do a test. Why else would I be sitting here discussing this with you? I can show you the DNA test results after and then you’ll know as well.”Lucy had no words, so she gathered her things to leave. Theodore noticed her intention and reached out to st

    His words piqued Lucy’s curiosity. What did he mean by that?“Well, go ahead. Tell me where this birthmark is supposed to be on my body.”She looked at him keenly.She was simply curious about this so-called birthmark. She knew her body well, and there was hardly anything worth noticing. Her skin was smooth and unblemished with barely any moles.“Our family members all have a birthmark on our lower back. Every single one of us. The birthmark resembles a feather. It’s usually invisible, and it only appears when we're emotionally stimulated.”Theodore felt somewhat apprehensive when he explained it to Lucy. He was not even entirely sure if she was his sister, but in order to make her believe him, he felt compelled to tell her.Since the birthmark only appeared when one was emotionally stimulated, there was no way to prove that what he said was false.Evidently, Lucy thought the same. She sneered, “So, you’re saying that the birthmark will only show when I’m emotionally stimulated?

    After finishing what she had to say, Lucy stood up to leave. She had no intention of wasting any more time with this rude and strange man.She should have listened to Cillian and been more cautious. She vowed to never roam around aimlessly again.Seeing as Lucy was so upset she was going to leave, Theodore grew desperate.He had every reason to believe that if he missed this opportunity today, finding this lady, who could potentially be his sister, again would be as difficult as reaching for the stars.Driven by urgency, Theodore stood up and grabbed Lucy’s hand.Lucy reacted strongly, glaring at Theodore and then at his hand gripping her arm.He immediately released her hand as if he were shocked by electricity.“I’m sorry, I… I was…” he stuttered.Damn it. What had gotten into him? Even if he was desperate, how could he act so rudely?Unable to find the right words to explain himself, Theodore was interrupted by Lucy, who was growing impatient.“That’s enough, sir. I think

    ”Lulu, it’s time for dinner. Lulu…”Cillian knocked on the door, but there was no response. His heart skipped a beat. Without any hesitation, he reached for the doorknob and pushed the door open.Inside, he found a cluttered table with scattered draft papers and a lonely laptop sitting on top. Lucy was nowhere to be seen.Cillian felt a pang of anxiety, but before he went into full panic mode, someone tugged at the hem of his clothes. He turned around and saw that it was a little girl with short hair.He recognized her. It was the landlady's child who often stuck around Lucy. Britney stared at him with her large eyes as she said, “Sir, I forgot to tell you that Ms. Lucy went out to the garden. "She saw that you were busy with work, so she didn’t want to disturb you. She asked me to wait until you were finished with work to let you know so that you wouldn’t worry too much.”Cillian did not bother addressing the fact that the kid called Lucy 'Ms. Lucy' but him 'sir.'Hearing that

    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
