Author: Tang Eighteen
“How do you do, Mr. Sullivan? Has anyone ever told you that you have a very nice smile?”

Charlotte tilted her head to look at Cillian. Cillian did not expect Charlotte to say that and felt a little embarrassed.

Arthur knew immediately what his daughter was thinking. He liked Cillian too.

He looked on with amusement. Cillian remembered that this was Lucy’s sister.

He smiled and said, “You’re the second person to say that to me. You have a nice smile too.”

She was good-looking too, and Cillian returned to praise politely, but Charlotte quickly turned red.

“Well… You… You have the best-looking smile.”

She ran away with a blush after saying this and left Arthur standing awkwardly with Cillian. Cillian had no idea how to react.

“I apologize. My daughter, she… She’s a little too lively.”

Arthur could only give this explanation to Cillian. Cillian smiled and shook his head. “It’s fine. Princess Charlotte is quite adorable.”

They had a deep friendship.If Lucy had chosen to be with Cillian, Matthew would have ended up crying himself to death in an unknown location. It was quite fortunate.

    Matthew had no answer to this, but he could not allow Lucy to continue misunderstanding him.This had to do with his innocence, and he had to explain things to Lucy.“Silly wifey. It’s because you never know how to breathe when we’re kissing. Besides, when a man meets the love of his life, he’ll immediately become a sweet talker.”Lucy did not know how to react.

The throng of people swelled, pressing in close to Cillian.A crafty character edged closer to Cillian, eyeing his wallet like a prize to be snatched.However, a tipsy woman barged in, shoving the would-be thief aside.

How about we go for a dance?"She even gave Cillian's cheek a flirty stroke.Cillian, despite having drank large amounts of booze, was not out of his wits just yet.Feeling the touch, he instinctively scrunched his brows together and removed her hand from his shoulders."Sorry, I'm not interested.

    The bartender could not take his eyes off her and was completely captivated.Just when he was lost in her beauty, the woman gestured for him to come over.Overjoyed, he rushed to her side and asked eagerly, "What can I do for you, pretty lady?"With a warm smile, she pointed at Cillian and said, "I'll have the same drink as this gentleman here, and he's picking up the tab."Her smile melted the bartender's heart, and he nodded enthusiastically. "Right away. Your drink is coming up."Once the bartender was gone, she turned to Cillian and said, "If you're looking to say thanks, buying me a drink will do. I'm Yitty Jenks. Nice to meet you. What's your name?"Yitty offered her hand openly, and Cillian was surprised by the simplicity of her request.He took a moment before accepting her outstretched hand and introducing himself in a soft voice."Cillian.""Cillian, what a lovely name. It must be fate that we met."Yitty's smile outshone everything around them, but Cillian just nod

    Cillian's smile was a rare sight tonight, especially since Yitty's words were less than polite. However, they cut through the fog, giving him a moment of refreshing clarity. Alright then, he would cast aside his worries for tonight and just revel in the now.Raising his glass like Yitty, they toasted to the night, their glasses chiming before they emptied them in one swift gulp. Glass after glass, the night wore on. Half an hour later, Cillian's endurance waned, and he collapsed onto the table with a thud.He had been at it since the afternoon. By any measure, he had polished off at least a couple of bottles of whiskey, not to mention the rounds of draft beer. Even a seasoned drinker like Cillian had his limits.Yitty, seeing him out cold, gave his cheek a playful pat. "Hey, Cillian. Come on, wake up. You're not telling me you're drunk already? You were supposed to be my drinking buddy, and here you are, out like a light before me?"However, Cillian was beyond reach. Yitty, giving

    Yitty's display of strength left the front desk receptionist dumbfounded, wondering if the delicate-looking Yitty was actually a guy in disguise. Back in the room, Yitty dropped Cillian onto the bed with a hint of annoyance. "You're heavier than you look. You almost wore me out..." Cillian, jostled by the drop, felt a wave of nausea and grimaced. He called out for Lucy in his sleep. "Lucy... please, don't leave..." To prevent a mess, Yitty placed a trash can by the bed and coaxed Cillian closer, making sure his head was aimed at it. She then gently tapped his cheek, saying, "Cillian, if you're gonna be sick, aim for the trash can, okay?" He murmured a faint acknowledgment.Cillian let out a soft grunt, which was enough for Yitty to know he was somewhat conscious. She headed off to the bathroom, letting the sound of the running water wash away her worries. She even indulged in a leisurely bath. Her eyes were clear and alert, betraying no sign of inebriation.

    "He mistakes me for someone else, shows me no respect, and wears me out, huh? Just wait and see how I'll get back at him." Yitty lay next to Cillian, pinching his cheek while she muttered angrily. A wicked plan was already forming in her head.Cillian woke up with the sun streaming through the window, his head pounding. He groaned, realizing last night's drinking escapade had been a colossal mistake.With a grimace, he had not even fully come to his senses when a stinging slap landed across his face."Cillian, I trusted you as a friend, and you turn out to be this kind of guy?"The slap snapped Cillian out of his daze. He held his cheek, blinking in confusion, only to find Yitty in front of him. She was clad in a bathrobe with tears streaming down her face. There was a subtle red mark on her collarbone."Ms. Jenks, what... happened?" Cillian's words tumbled out in a jumble, dread creeping over him.He could not have...

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

    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.
