Lucy had to admit that ever since she met Matthew, it seemed like he knew her better than anyone else ever could.Every time Lucy started to speak, Matthew could almost read her mind and guess what she was going to say next."I sure hope so."Lucy was not the type to get downhearted and lose hope over everything, but she could not shake the feeling that being with Matthew was like walking on eggshells. She did not know if there was hope or heartbreak around the corner.However, Matthew kept holding onto Lucy's hand, not wanting to let go for even a second."Lucy, whatever comes our way, I'll be right here with you. You've got to trust me, and you've got to believe in yourself a little more."Believe in herself...Matthew was right. She really did not have much self-confidence.She was always sunny, upbeat, and full of cheer. Anyone who met her would think she was a woman who lived in a world of sunshine.However, when she was with Matthew...Matthew was rich and really good-l

"Is that how much you don’t trust me?” Matthew sounded even more aggrieved than Lucy. He held Lucy so tight that her arms were starting to hurt, but he still refused to let go.“No, no, I just think that you’re so much better than I am. How could I possibly be more popular than you?”Lucy found it strange that such words came from Matthew. A few years ago, he was consistently rated as the 'Golden Bachelor' by financial magazines. He was the dream man of many.Lucy felt miserable when compared to him, so she said, “They must be blind to like me.”Matthew finally let go of her and stared into her eyes without blinking. “Once those people discover you, I wouldn’t even have the time to hide you before they try to snatch you away.”His childish tone was somewhat comforting to Lucy.Matthew did not expect Lucy’s glorious moment of being loved by many to come so soon.When they got back home, Lucy stared at the dress Charlotte had 'kindly' gifted her.She had no choice but to attend t

The next day, Lucy woke up early. She was full of energy.Matthew still had no idea what she had come up with. Despite his attempts to coax it out of her, he was still left in the dark. He was reluctantly chased off to work by Lucy. She even told him that she would not be delivering his lunch today, leaving him feelings of bitterness.“Time to get to work!”Thanks to a good night’s sleep, Lucy was brimming with energy. She started the day in high spirits.She began by gathering various books on fashion research from the library and meticulously flipped through them to find suitable decorations and patterns.She also had the maids purchase the appropriate fabrics and sewing supplies.The maids were eager to help, and not long after, they had acquired everything Lucy needed. With everything ready, Lucy got to work.Since it was her first time altering a dress, obstacles were inevitable. For instance, stitching on embroidery was a little awkward for her at first. However, thanks

The day of the Wine Festival arrived.Matthew knew Lucy was being secretive about not changing into her dress early, so all he could do was wait and see what she had up her sleeve.“Wifey, let’s start with the makeup.”Matthew had sourced several studios to hire a renowned makeup artist specifically for the occasion.Lucy knew how to do her own makeup, but for an event like this, she needed a professional as she was unsure what kind of makeup would suit the event.The makeup artist was a petite young lady, but unlike her appearance, she did not sound shy at all.“Mrs. Leon, you have such nice skin. You really don’t need much foundation at all.”The makeup artist commented while applying makeup on Lucy’s face, praising her complexion and beauty. It made Lucy blush.Matthew wholeheartedly agreed with her, “Lulu, you’re truly beautiful, so be more confident in yourself.”After the makeup artist learned Lucy’s real age, she was even more impressed. “Mrs. Leon, you don’t look your

Matthew deeply regretted agreeing to Lucy’s request to wear the altered dress.In his eyes, Lucy had always looked like the girl next door. She rarely ever revealed her mature side. However, her dress today perfectly showcased the side of her that he did not know existed.Lucy was not just skin and bones. She was curvy in all the right places, and the dress accentuated that beautifully. Her exposed shoulders and collarbones were captivating. When Lucy turned, the beautiful lines of her back were exposed.Matthew’s eyes widened in an instant.Lucy had transformed the dress into a backless gown. While Matthew was mesmerized by her beauty, he could not help but feel concerned. The Wine Festival was one of Charleston’s biggest events, and countless aristocrats and nobles would be there. Matthew could already imagine the lustful gazes of those men.Sensing the discomfort in Matthew’s eyes, Lucy asked him what was wrong, but he just shook his head and smiled. “You look stunning today.

At some point, the word 'kindness' became a derogatory term.Lucy always believed that kindness was an essential part of human nature, but she also understood the importance of boundaries.Matthew was probably referring to Lucy’s past experiences, particularly her reluctance to sever ties with her ex-boyfriend and her former family, which left her to suffer.However, Matthew did not realize that Lucy would no longer let others hurt her like that again.“Don’t worry, Matt. I won't let those things happen again. I’ll take good care of myself.”Matthew nodded with relief. “Don’t underestimate me too, wifey. I’ve promised to protect you for the rest of my life, and I won't let you go.”Lucy smiled and held his hand.Matthew purposely left the driver at home so he could personally chauffeur Lucy for the day. He even chose the least conspicuous car from the garage, yet it still exuded elegance.Lucy did not understand why he did not want to let the driver drive, so Matthew explained,

Outside of the Wine Festival venue, the party had already begun. The number of guests was beyond Lucy’s imagination, and they kept coming. It had gotten so crowded that she could no longer see the entrance.The guests were mingling and chatting like they were old friends who had not seen each other in years, but deep down, it was all just business to them.As soon as Lucy stepped out of the car, the crowd gasped.Lucy’s outfit today was absolutely stunning, unlike the flashy attires of the royal princesses and daughters of tycoons. They were always competing for the limelight during the Wine Festival.These women were practically wearing every single piece of jewelry they owned, but overdoing it would only be a burden to the eyes. Not only did it take away from their beauty, but it was uncomfortable to look at.However, Lucy’s choice was a breath of fresh air. Her versatile black dress might look simple, but after her detailed alterations, the dress accentuated all her best featur

Without a second thought, Matthew snatched the irritating black microphone from the reporter's hands.“Who told you such absurd rumors?”How was Matthew supposed to be in a good mood when his patience was being tested by the many people eyeing his wife?By asking such an absurd question, the reporter was basically setting off a ticking time bomb.The journalist was intimidated by Matthew’s tone.Rumors portrayed Matthew as a perfectionist who would erupt in fury over even the slightest mistake, and that applied to his interactions with people too.Witnessing Matthew act like this for the first time, the reporter shrunk back and withdrew his microphone.“I... I heard these rumors from others…”Matthew’s gaze turned chillingly terrifying. “My wife, Lucy, and I are extremely in love. Do you understand?”The reporter was now completely bewildered. “Yes, I understand…”Matthew continued to comment on the topic, “Also, I’d like to warn all the reporters here. If I ever hear such ba

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

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
