Chapter 258

Author: Tang Eighteen
”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.'

    As the daylight gradually faded into darkness and street lights illuminated the streets, Cillian’s heart was as cold as ice.Holding onto the last shred of hope that he had just missed her when he came out, he returned to the guest house.Perhaps she had already returned home and was waiting for him to join her for dinner. That had to be it.The town had beautiful scenery, and many Daburineans came to visit. Maybe those people did not even realize they had seen Lucy.Cillian could only console himself with various excuses. He could not bear the thought of losing Lucy.It would drive him insane. He could kill someone if that happened.With a glimmer of hope, Cillian returned to the guest house in a daze.It was eerily quiet, and the dishes on the table had already gone cold. Maggie had been waiting for Cillian and Lucy the entire time.Neither Maggie nor Britney had touched their food. After Cillian returned, Maggie approached him anxiously.“How did it go? Did you find Ms. Qui

    ”Why not? Mr. Sullivan, your best bet right now is to call the police…”Squinting, Maggie was somewhat puzzled at Cillian’s reluctance to involve the police.Were they international fugitives afraid of being discovered by the police? Maggie started speculating on the various possible explanations after hearing Cillians words. Even Cillian himself was aware that his actions were illogical.To prevent Maggie from making too many assumptions, Cillian could only give her a vague explanation.“If Lulu was kidnapped, the other party might harm her if they find out that we’ve called the police. That’s why we can’t call the police. We need to think of another way.”Cillian somehow managed to convince Maggie, so she started thinking of ways to find Lucy.Cillian did not have many contacts in Charleston, but his teacher had close ties with the royal family.If he could leverage this connection, finding Lucy would be much easier with the help of the royal family.However, he was just a st

    ”Do you have any way to contact the royal family of Charleston? With their help…”Cillian anxiously rambled on, only to find no response from the other end.It turned out that Matthew had already hung up the phone. Cillian slumped down in despair.He instantly got up again and rushed out the door in a hurry.Now that Matthew knew, he would definitely be on his way to Charleston, but Cillian could not wait for Matthew to arrive. Every minute delayed meant another minute of danger for Lucy.Right after hanging up, Matthew called his assistant.“Get me a flight to Charleston. Right now! Immediately!”Hearing the slight tremble in Matthew’s voice, Kent could not help but ask, “Now? Mr. Leon, is something wrong? Is there an emergency?”The last time he saw Matthew this flustered was when his wife passed away.What happened today?“Hurry!”Matthew got impatient at Kent's hesitation, frightening him into quickly assuring, “Yes, sir. Everything will be ready within 30 min—no, 15 min

    "M-Ma’am, perhaps you’ve mistaken me for someone else. My name is Lucy, not Velda…”Lucy struggled to speak, feeling like she was about to lose her mind. Why did she keep hearing this name? Who the hell was Velda?Where was this place? How did she faint?Looking at the woman who looked so similar to her, she had a bad feeling. Among millions, two people looking alike was not unheard of. However, with the three of them resembling each other so closely, it was hard for anyone to believe that they were not related.After losing her memory, Lucy still thought that she was part of the Quinn family, so she was reluctant to face the reality of this situation.Feeling a bit lost, the middle-aged woman let go of Lucy after hearing her words.She touched Lucy’s face and suppressed her overwhelming emotions. She insisted, “You’re Velda, my long-lost princess.”“She’s right. Mom and Dad only learned the truth recently. Before they could send someone to find you, the news of your death arr

    Did Lucy jinx herself? She never thought that she would one day be involved with princes, princesses, kings, queens, and whatnot.Was this a Disney show or something? Was she some kind of runaway princess? How could any of this be real?“Um… Ma’am, I mean, Your Majesty, are you sure that I’m your daughter? Perhaps there’s been a mistake.“I-I’m very confused right now. Can I have some time alone…”Lucy’s words left Juliana feeling anxious. She grabbed Lucy’s shoulder and said, “How could I be mistaken? Velda, look at how similar we look. Anyone would think we’re mother and daughter. You’re meant to be my daughter.”She was right. With such similar faces, how could Juliana be lying? Lucy felt overwhelmed. Theodore could sense how Lucy was feeling from her demeanor.Seeing as his mother was getting agitated, he softly comforted her, “Mom, don’t press Lulu. Anyone would be at a loss in her shoes.“We have plenty of time. We’ve already found Lulu, so let’s let her rest and digest ev

    Charlotte still wore the same obedient and lovely smile as she went up to comfort her parents.“I believe that my little sister will recognize both of you soon. Just have a little more patience.” Only when she said those comforting words did Arthur and Juliana realize that their adopted eldest princess was also present.“Charlotte, you'll always be my dearest child.”Juliana reached out to hug Charlotte. Inside the room, Lucy listened as the sounds from outside gradually faded away.She sat up on the bed, searching for her phone. Seeing as she had been unconscious for so long and not home yet, Cillian was probably worried sick.She had to quickly contact Cillian to let him know that she was safe. She did not even know how much time had passed.The room was huge, so it took a while for Lucy to find her clothes and bag. After opening her bag, she was relieved to find that everything was still there.However, her phone was powered off. Not knowing whether there was a charger in the

    Lucy sighed and briefly explained what she had gone through the past couple of days.“Remember when I told you that I encountered a strange person? That’s the reason I changed my number.“After changing my number, I met an even stranger person who looks exactly like me. He even claimed that I’m his sister and a princess.“Later, I fainted and woke up in a palace. Some woman who looks almost identical to me said that I’m her little princess.“It’s all so surreal, Matthew. I’m the Quinn family’s daughter. How could I be a princess of a foreign country?”While explaining, Lucy could not help but rant.Her memories were still stuck in her freshman year of college, where she was still with that scumbag, Timothy, and she was still the daughter of her biased and wilful parents.Matthew listened in silence. As a late observer, he knew Lucy’s background better than anyone.He could not believe how miraculous fate could be. He had sent Lucy to Charleston to escape danger, but she even go

    The two of them exchanged a few more words before Matthew ended the call. However, he did not bother informing Cillian of Lucy’s situation out of pettiness.Since Cillian did not take good care of Lucy, Matthew maliciously let Cillian worry unnecessarily for a while.With peace of mind, Matthew closed his eyes and rested for a while. Meanwhile, Lucy spent the night wide awake, staring at the ceiling.Seemingly struck by a thought, Lucy got up and walked to the large dressing mirror.‘I should be plenty stimulated right now, right?' Lucy thought as she carefully lifted her pajamas.She twisted her body to look at her back in the mirror. Though it was not obvious, she could discern the feather-shaped birthmark on her back.Lucy murmured to herself, “So it’s true…”It was the second time she learned about this revelation, yet her emotions were still as calm as the first time. There was even a hint of relief and understanding as if a burden had been lifted from her shoulders.Since

    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. She feared that Charlotte might seize any chance to harm the children, so she remained vigilant and meticulous, avoiding any lapses. In her eyes, Matthew Leon and the children represented her entire world, and she could not afford even the slightest mishap.One day, Gabriella Sharpe visited their home. She arrived as lively as ever, wearing impeccably applied makeup that included an expensive shade of lipstick. Her appearance radiated the elegance of a woman of high social standing, making her stand out among the people on the street.Lucy welcomed Gabriella warmly, treating her with utmost respect. It created an atmosphere of family harmony. Gabriella settled into a chair, savoring the fruit that Lucy offered her. She held Johnny closely, reluctant to part with him. She showered him with compliments and laughter."Mom, you seem to be in a great mood l

    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
