After saying good night to Matthew, Lucy returned to her room and sat on her bed, wiping her hair.The fatigue from running around all day gradually came over her. She yawned, starting to feel a little sleepy.Her movements of drying her hair became slower and slower. In the end, the towel fell from her hands. Lucy plopped onto the bed and closed her eyes.Not long after she fell asleep, her phone rang, waking her up.Lucy frowned. She was annoyed that she was woken up. She groped around the bed and finally found a rectangular block. She did not even look at it and just answered the call with her sense of touch alone.“Hello?”She sounded sleepy.“You damned woman, you haven’t come home for days. Did you run away?”Lucy woke up and jumped off of her bed.“Mom?”The person on the other end of the phone did not care that Lucy was asleep. She immediately bombarded her with questions, “I’m still your mother, you know!“How dare you run off with that stranger and say that on TV?

Lucy stood outside of Matthew’s door hesitantly while staring at it. Would it be a bad idea to disturb him at this hour?It was already one in the morning, so he was probably asleep.Lucy chuckled sarcastically and turned around to go back to her room. It was fine. Staying up late was not new to her anyway. She had gotten used to it.After taking a couple of steps, the door behind her opened and Matthew’s nasally voice sounded. “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”His words caused her to feel a tingle in her nose. She immediately rushed toward Matthew.Matthew noticed something off, so he quickly hugged her. He sensed that his wife was not in a good mood and gently patted her back. He whispered, “What’s wrong? Did you have a bad dream?”Lucy held back her tears and shook her head. “No, I’m just feeling down.”Matthew frowned. “Come inside and tell me what’s wrong.“Also, is this all you’re wearing?He felt the thickness of Lucy’s clothes and said, “It’s cold at night. You’ll get sick.

Seeing as Lucy was crying even harder, Matthew was at a loss.After crying for a while, Lucy calmed down and wiped the tears from her face. She looked at the dazed Matthew and chuckled.“Thank you. I feel better now.”Finally, Matthew relaxed.He took out a few tissues and handed them to Lucy.Lucy took them quietly. After a while, she mumbled in a small voice, "I hate arguing.”Matthew was confused, “Arguing? Haven't you argued with her before? I’ve never seen you like this.”Lucy did not want to continue this topic.Seeing as she was reluctant to talk about it, he did not ask any more questions. He patted her head. “If you feel upset, just go to bed. You’ll forget about it after you wake up.”Lucy nodded resignedly and hesitated before saying, “Can I sleep here with you? I can’t sleep alone.”Matthe smiled. She was his wife. Of course, she could sleep here.“If you have trouble sleeping, you can sleep with me from now on.”Matthew said frankly after giving it some thought

Matthew closed his eyes, thinking that he could escape that way. Little did he know that not even ten minutes later, the woman beside him began tossing and turning.He helplessly opened his eyes and looked at his wife. Was it because of what happened just now that she could not sleep peacefully?Before he could even start to feel bad for her, he saw her rolling over twice toward the edge of the bed!With his quick reflexes, he pulled her back and breathed a sigh of relief.She almost fell out of bed!That was not the end for him.Lucy felt the warmth of a heat source nearby, so she snuggled up to it and wrapped herself around it like an octopus.Matthew felt his chest tighten up again. How was he supposed to sleep when such a tender and delicate woman was in his arms?He sighed, suddenly feeling that his suggestion earlier might have been too hasty.Looking at Lucy’s beautiful sleeping face, he sighed. How could he push her away from his arms? Instead, he hugged her even tight

In the end, Matthew went to take a cold shower. There were definitely going to be more situations like this in the future.After taking a shower, he came out of the bathroom and wiped his hair with a towel. He said to Lucy, who was obediently sitting on his bed, “Go wash up."Hearing that, Lucy felt like she had been pardoned. She quickly got up and rushed to the bathroom.While Lucy was washing up, the phone on the bed rang.It was the phone Lucy brought into Matthew’s room when she came in last night.Matthew picked up the phone and saw the caller ID ‘Mom’ displayed on the screen. His good mood that morning was instantly ruined.Instead of answering, he turned down the volume and sat calmly on the edge of the bed.In the bathroom, Lucy was unknowingly tending to her hair. She cried so much yesterday that her hair got tangled.Lucy tried for a long time, but she still could not untangle the matted mess. In the end, she gave up and decided to wash her hair.The unanswered phon

Lucy and Matthew finished their breakfast quietly. After the waiters took away their plates, Matthew took Lucy's hand.“Let’s go. I’ll take you to have some fun.”To his surprise, Lucy took a step back and shook her head. “No thank you. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do.”Matthew was a little confused. “What is it? I thought you were free.”He recalled Lucy’s schedule and remembered that she did not have anything planned for the day.Lucy was free, but she was reminded of what happened previously. She lowered her emotionless gaze.“A lot of things have been going on at my company. I’ve already taken a few days off. I can’t ignore matters there any longer.”Matthew understood now. “Your comic company?”Lucy nodded.“Okay, I’ll send you there.”He did not want to get in the way of his wife’s important business. Besides, they could have a vacation anytime they wanted.Matthew changed his mind on the spot and turned to take her to the underground parking lot.Lu

Matthew felt wrongly accused and said innocently, “How am I a head-turner?”Lucy rolled her eyes. “You're asking me that? Every time we go out, all eyes are on you.“So many beautiful women look at you, and some of the bolder ones would even come up to ask for your number,” The more she spoke, the more sour her face got.Matthew laughed and patted her head. “Were the women who asked for my number pretty? I think my wife is prettier.”“You’re just saying that to please me!” Lucy turned away to avoid looking at him.Feeling helpless, Matthew smiled without a word.Silly woman! How naive of her. It was not just women who went up to him for his number…Those horny men all lost their balance when they caught sight of Lucy. Several had wanted to approach her and strike up a conversation, but Matthew blocked them all. She just had no idea about it.If possible, there was no need for his wife to ever find out.All she needed was him.Unaware of his thoughts, Lucy walked off angrily s

After seeing how speechless Luna was, Lucy felt a little better.She composed herself and said indifferently, “Tell me. What brings you here?”Only then was Luna reminded of why she came here. “It’s no big deal, Lulu. I’m just worried about you. When are you coming home?”While saying that, she looked at Lucy with her teary eyes. “Lulu, even if you got into an argument with Mom, you can’t just run away from home. Everyone is so worried about you.”Lucy scoffed. “Worried about me? What’s there to be worried about?“If by worried, you mean my family hid the fact that my sister and my ex were together for four years because they were worried that I’d be upset, then I suggest you take back your concern. I don’t need it.”Luna choked up again. How could Lucy say such things so openly in public? Did she have no sense of shame?“Lulu, how could you say that in public?”“Why not?” Lucy looked at her with confusion even though she knew full well that Luna was ashamed of Timothy having a

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
