Matthew pinched Lucy’s little nose and could not help but call her by her nickname, “Wake up, Lulu. Have dinner first before sleeping. You can’t skip dinner.”Lucy was practically unconscious, so her body could not help but lean forward. Matthew wrapped his arms around her waist and noticed that she had indeed lost quite a bit of weight. He could easily encircle her waist with a lot more space to spare.She always complained about wanting to lose weight, but what was there to lose? She was practically skin and bones already.“Lulu, listen to me. Let’s go downstairs for dinner. It’s all your favorite dishes today, so don’t let them go to waste.”Matthew was feeling a little frustrated, and Lucy suddenly jolted awake.When she looked up, she noticed that she was nestled in Matthew’s arms. No wonder she did not want to open her eyes. Matthew’s embrace was so warm and cozy that she did not want to leave.“Let me sleep a little longer…” Lucy said as she rubbed her head against Matthew

After an unknown amount of time, Lucy opened her eyes again and saw that dawn was breaking.She vaguely remembered what Matthew told her yesterday. He said that she had to wake up and have dinner after a short nap, yet here they were, both asleep on the couch.Matthew gave her all the blanket while he only had a thin garment on and nothing else to cover himself.He could not continue sleeping like this, especially with the sudden drop in temperature and continuous rainy weather the past few days. It was crucial to keep warm.“Matt…”Lucy nudged him, but he did not respond. Even when she softly called his name by his ear, it only elicited a soft grunt from him.Feeling worried, Lucy lifted her hand to his forehead.Unsurprisingly, he was down with a fever.The mighty CEO was reduced to lying on the couch with nowhere to put his long legs, yet he still had to wake up to a fever after suffering the entire night.Feeling guilty, Lucy looked at Matthew’s flushed cheeks due to the f

Just a moment ago, Matthew could not even open his eyes to speak. Now, he was suddenly gripping onto Lucy’s wrist with force.Even when the doctor arrived, Matthew refused to open his eyes and just stayed curled up in the blanket like a fluffy squirrel.It was rare to hear Matthew speak in such a tone, but it successfully tugged at Lucy’s heartstrings. She tightly held his hand and reassured him, “I’m not leaving, Matt.”Lucy carefully tucked his hand under the blanket. “You have a cold. Don’t move around, okay? I’ll go make you some cold medicine and be back soon, very soon.”Matthew was not buying it, so he held onto her hand, unwilling to let go. “How soon is ‘very soon’? I don’t have a fever… I don’t want to take medicine…”His voice grew more distressed as he spoke.“Why don’t you want to take medicine, Matt?”“I just don’t want to,” he said childishly.“You need to take medicine for your fever to go down. Be good, okay?”Lucy got up to leave, and the man who could not su

Matthew’s body was quite resilient, so this minor cold was nothing to worry about. After taking the medicine and napping for a while, his fever subsided, and he was back to normal.However, the real 'storm' was far from over.Lucy sat at the edge of the bed, staring at Matthew seriously.Little did Matthew know that the moment he opened his eyes, he would see Lucy looking at him sternly like she was about to interrogate him. She had never looked at him like that before.“Lulu, what’s wrong?”Matthew dared not utter any unnecessary words, afraid that even a single phrase might cause Lucy’s anger to erupt. If that happened, he would be the one to suffer.Lucy remained silent, still gazing sharply at Matthew’s face as if she were trying to read his mind.“Lulu, I noticed you didn’t finish your drawing yesterday. How about I draw with you today? What do you think about that?”Matthew attempted to change the subject, but Lucy was still unwilling to engage.Unable to hold back any l

Due to Matthew’s cold, there was a backlog of documents that needed his approval at the company.Kent reported the company’s situation over the past couple of days, “Mr. Leon, the company will be competing for a piece of land in the second half of the year, so we need your approval. The board has unanimously approved the resolution, but we need you to review it again.”Kent continued briefing Matthew on upcoming projects and collaborations. Although there were many tasks to handle, for Matthew, it was just another day at the office.Since assuming the position of CEO, Matthew had propelled the once-stagnant company to new heights, surpassing all of his competitors.Over the past few years, other companies could not even see Leon Corporation’s tail lights, let alone catch up to him.From then onward, Matthew had been incredibly busy. He struggled to adapt at first, but after about a week, he was able to effortlessly manage the workload and systematically complete his tasks.It w

In fact, Matthew’s question was not difficult at all. All the financial reports of Leon Corporation were publicly available on their website.It was clear that the real estate projects were the most profitable for the company that year, followed closely by cosmetics and fashion projects.This information was accessible with just a few clicks, but where would Samantha find the time to look into it? The only thing on her mind was how to dress up to attract Matthew.Despite her efforts, Matthew remained unmoved. With a straw stack for a brain, it was no wonder that Samantha was oblivious to the fact that aside from Lucy, Matthew had no interest in anyone else.Samantha was left speechless with beads of cold sweat forming on her forehead. They threatened to ruin her makeup that day.Matthew continued to stare at her calmly, “You claim to know everything and be able to help me with anything, but you don’t even know basic information that can be easily found online. What use are you as

Lucy could only stay at home because Matthew had left for the temporary office for work. She decided to head over during lunchtime and personally cook a big meal for him.Before that, she spent some time fixing the drawings she was not happy with.Her inspiration had always come from a sudden epiphany.However, since she started drawing Matthew’s profile, a portion of her unique inspiration began to come from him.Her brushes and strokes moved agilely and appeared on Matthew’s face.Lucy began to scribble and draw. Lucy would draw when she had free time and she was quite adept at oil painting and sketching.The servants walked in and out of the living room but Lucy was in her own world and could no longer hear any noises from the outside world.She held a pencil that had been sharpened until only half of it was left and she began sketching while thinking about Matthew.Matthew had always been detailed with his work. He did not like anyone disturbing him, which was why he was al

Samantha stood next to Gabriella with an upset look on her face. She could no longer hold her tears in as they began dripping to the floor.She whimpered in a very sad voice to Gabriella about how cold and scary Matthew had treated her today.“I have no idea why Matthew would treat me that way, Mrs. Leon. All I wanted to do was to help him today, but he said all I did was ruin things.”Even though Samantha exaggerated somewhat, some of her exaggerations turned out to be words that Matthew wanted to say to her but did not manage to.Gabriella slammed the table angrily. She had just gotten her nails done not long ago and she almost broke them from slamming the table.“Did he really say that?”Samantha’s heart thumped wildly when she saw how angry Gabriella was. However, this would probably work only if Gabriella got angry. Samantha exaggerated what was said to her.“Matthew even said that I can never compare to Lucy. Not only that, he even kicked me out… What am I supposed to do n

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.

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
