"I understand. I don’t like it when people get close to me too, but…”Charlotte smiled and stepped forward, cutely tilting her head as she continued, “You’re my sister’s husband, so technically, we’re family. There’s no need for us to be so distant, right?”She feigned innocence, but Matthew’s internal alarm bells were going off.Something was definitely off about this princess, but Matthew decided to play it cool.He nodded slightly but continued stepping back slowly.Charlotte’s lips twitched, and for a moment, silence fell between them as they watched Lucy happily run around in the distance.Charlotte could not help but speak again, “Seeing my sister like this, I actually envy her…”However, she elicited no response from Matthew as he showed no intention of engaging further in the conversation. This left Charlotte utterly frustrated.What the heck? Was it not common courtesy for the other person to ask why she was envious?She was already a princess. What else could she pos

"Oh, I guess I’ve misunderstood. My apologies.”Matthew mouthed his apology, but his face showed no signs of feeling sorry.However, Charlotte still smiled brightly and continued in a flirtatious tone, “It’s okay, Mr. Leon. I don’t blame you. You just don’t know me well enough yet. Once we get to know each other better, we won’t have any more misunderstandings.”Her smile was radiant, but Matthew simply hummed in reply without saying anything more.Silence lingered between them as Charlotte felt a surge of frustration. What kind of response was that? It seemed like he did not take her seriously at all.She could not believe it. With her beauty and status, how dare a mere CEO disregard her like this?Although Charlotte knew who Matthew was, she had yet to fully grasp the significance behind his status.While women in Charleston could engage in politics, Charlotte did not have the aptitude for it.Whether it be politics or business, the discussions her parents had with the minist

Hah! As expected, all men were unfaithful. Just a moment ago, Matthew was ignoring Charlotte, and now, he was even praising her in front of his wife.Although Lucy could not hear it from afar, it still counted as saying it in front of her.After Charlotte’s ego boost, she took another step forward, intending to break through Matthew’s two-meter barrier.However, Matthew took a step back again. At that critical moment, Theodore returned with the helpers.Seven or eight helpers were carrying not only parasols and tables but also fruits, pastries, and chilled beverages.There were also two long, grooved aluminum boxes filled with ice to cool them down and relieve them from the heat.It was no wonder Theodore took so long. The helpers quickly arranged everything.Soon, a unique small pavilion was set up in the spacious area. Theodore went to call Lucy to take a rest.After playing around for so long, Lucy was feeling tired, so the four of them sat down together.Theodore sat next

"I’m sure she feels like I stole her parents away from her. Of course, she doesn’t like me.“Now that we’re both our parents' daughters, they love both of us equally. If we were to have a falling out, who would our parents side with? They would surely be very upset.“If she doesn’t like me, so be it. I’ll just avoid her and accommodate her.”Lucy was sharp-witted. How could she not notice that Charlotte did not like her?She just kept quiet all this time because she did not want to upset her parents.As Lucy spoke with a heavy heart, Matthew embraced her tenderly, feeling a pang of sympathy. “My dear Lulu, you don’t have to put up with her, you know? Besides, even if you accommodate her, there’s no guarantee that she’ll be nicer to you. I bet she’ll even hope for your demise…”Before Matthew could finish, Lucy was shaken to her core. She looked at him with alarm and asked, “Matt, w-what do you mean by that?”Matthew sighed, caressing Lucy’s cheek. “I think we were wrong before.

“Alright. It’s best this way.”Matthew was glad that Lucy listened to him. He gently hugged her.They were intimate for a while before Matthew left Lucy’s room unwillingly that night.Even though he wanted very much to sleep with Lucy, Juliana was here. She was probably overjoyed to finally find her daughter, and she wanted to sleep with Lucy every night.Matthew had never dreamed that there would come a day when he would fight his mother-in-law for the right to sleep with his wife.He stared pitifully at his pretty wife, and Lucy had no idea how to react to the look on his face.Juliana did not help at all. She knew that Matthew did not want to leave Lucy’s side, but she even asked Matthew deliberately, “Velda and I are about to go to bed. Shouldn’t you return to your own room now?”There was nothing Matthew could do. He could not really kick his mother-in-law out, could he? He gave an awkward smile.“Alright. I’m leaving now. Please have a good rest.”Matthew left the room a

The title was not just in name. There were plenty of benefits that came with it.An honorary mayor would receive 1% of their fief’s income, and they had the authority to make decisions on how their fief was managed and developed.The title and fief were not to be belittled at all. Take Theodore, for example. His fief was located near Charleston’s capital and was a second-tier city that was flourishing called Kandis.One percent of Kandis’ annual profit garnered Theodore billions on a yearly basis.Charlotte’s fief was slightly under par. Her city was covered with flowers, and even though its development was not as great, she was still able to earn 700 to 800 million annually. However, the more power one had, the heavier one's responsibility.Most of the businesses within Charleston were operated by the royal family. The princesses and princes who had been bestowed a fief would need to be responsible for the livelihoods of the citizens living on their lands.Both princes and pri

Their princess had returned from the dead!“Congratulations, Your Majesties. You’ve finally found your daughter. What a joyful occasion.”A foreign diplomat walked out from the crowd and smiled while clapping to congratulate Arthur, Juliana, and Lucy.Lucy heard the familiar voice and turned in the direction. It was Cillian! He was here at the Charleston palace as a foreign dignitary!Arthur glanced at Cillian’s clothes and knew he was part of the foreign dignitaries from Daburin. He smiled.“I see you’re a dignitary from Daburin. I’m grateful that you’re here to witness Velda returning to us. I hope our country can always maintain a friendly alliance.” “Of course, Your Majesty. Our countries will always have a sturdy friendship.” Cillian’s étiquettes were perfect. He looked up and shot Matthew a gleeful look.Hmph. It did not matter that Matthew refused to bring Cillian along for the internal meeting. He had his way of getting into the palace to see Lucy.With someone takin

Lucy finally felt her physical burden lift after taking everything off. She even wanted to roar in delight after that.She had planned to see Cillian along with Matthew after changing out of her clothes, but Arthur was having a meeting with Cillian at that moment.Meanwhile, Matthew was taking a phone call in the corridor. He was being mysterious about it and did not want Lucy to hear the conversation.“When are you coming back, Mr. Leon? Madam Leon is here at the office every day trying to find out where you are. I’m almost at my wit's end.”Brett complained pitifully to Matthew. His location was not the only thing Gabriella was asking about.Most of Matthew and Lucy’s photos together, as well as anything that had to do with Lucy, had been thrown out.Brett was in shock over this. He knew the difference in Matthew’s attitude toward his mother and wife.When he found out what she did, Brett did not dare allow Gabriella into Matthew’s office anymore. He would stand firm guard out

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.

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
