Chapter 391

Every time Lucy came back, she acted like she owned the place. Even the maids treated her like royalty, which really annoyed Charlotte.

Lucy knew Charlotte was just looking for trouble, so she tried to get Theodore out of the way. She did not want her brother caught up in their fight.

"Theodore, could you go upstairs for a bit? I'll come look for you in a little while, okay?"

Lucy's voice was so soft and kind. It made Theodore's worries melt away.

With a smile, Theodore headed upstairs without a backward glance. Charlotte's hand, which was hidden in her sleeve, clenched into a fist. Lucy somehow had everyone in the palace eating out of her hand.

If Charlotte did not put her in her place soon, things were going to get even tougher for her.

Right then, Lucy said, "Charlotte, you look really nice today."

She meant it. She was telling Charlotte that her outfit was fancy and elegant. The dress looked expensive, and Charlotte would have been the star of any fancy dance wearing it.
