As soon as Lucy said that, Matthew had already made his way to her. He nodded politely to Truman, but he did not hesitate to wrap his arms around Lucy’s waist to assert his dominance.Truman could not help but smile. It seemed like Lucy had indeed found her one true love. It was not often that the mighty Mr. Leon got this jealous.“Well, I have somewhere to be, so I’ll leave both of you to it.”Truman winked slyly at Lucy before leaving them alone.Lucy waved him goodbye and looked down at Matthew’s hands around her waist. She could not resist teasing him, “Why are you so worried? Relax, Truman is a nice guy.”Lucy’s mischievous smile gave Matthew a sense of danger, and he subconsciously tightened his arm around her waist.“Wifey, how do you know what I’m worried about?”“You’re worried that Truman has ulterior motives, aren’t you?”Lucy emphasized the words 'ulterior motives', making Matthew feel uncomfortable. He was unsure of where to place his hand.“Matt, is this how much

While Lucy secretly enjoyed seeing him jealous because it showed that he cared about her, she could not let this misunderstanding persist. If she did not address it right now, the resentment would accumulate and eventually harm their relationship. It was not worth it at all.Matthew’s expression softened a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Truman had someone he liked.“Matt, from now on, please don’t be so quick to judge people and act impulsively. I think Truman is quite nice, and he knows to maintain a respectful distance from me too.”Matthew realized that he should not have jumped the gun, so he apologized, “I’m sorry, wifey. I didn’t mean to. I was just worried about you.”“It’s okay, Matt. If there are any issues between us, we must address them openly instead of bottling them up. I’m glad that you talked to me about it. Isn’t it nice that we get to discuss it together?”Matthew might have been a little impulsive, but Lucy was pleased with how he

Lucy could not help but notice that Matthew had gotten even more stubborn ever since they moved to Charleston. She wondered if it was the influence of the country’s environment that had changed his personality. It seemed that his previous calm and restrained self had disappeared. She could not tell whether this was good or bad, a blessing or a curse.Resigned to her fate, Lucy allowed Matthew to drag her to the dessert area.Since Charleston placed great importance on the Wine Festival, the pastry chefs in the dessert area were the best of the best.For Lucy, a good dessert was sweet but not cloying, leaving one wanting more. The overly sweet desserts that made one feel sick after one bite did not appeal to her at all.Matthew first picked up a slice of black forest cake. Lucy took a bite, and as expected, it was a masterpiece. It was far superior to what one would typically find at bakeries.Matthew nibbled on the cake and said to her, "Leon Corporation has a few dessert shops

It was rare to see Matthew display such a helpless and sorrowful expression.He was a master strategist in the business world, and everyone present would kill to work with Leon Corporation. He never had to worry about finding suppliers, but seeing Matthew’s expression, Lucy grew uneasy.“I was born into that kind of environment, and my family naturally wanted me to enter business too, so I had a lot to learn. Since I was a child, I never had much time to rest, which is how I’ve achieved what I have today.”To thrive in the business world, he must have endured a lot of hardships since young. His childhood must have been bleak. He probably sacrificed his leisure time for success.“I know everyone has their own struggles, but I didn’t think you did too.”“None of us are gods, Lulu. Remember that.”Lucy patted his shoulder and said, “You’re different.”Lucy was quite skilled in comforting others. With just a few words, she managed to dispel Matthew’s feelings of helplessness and sor

Lucy’s words prompted all the reporters present to aim their cameras at the royal family. The genes in this family were out of this world.There were rumors that Matthew’s wife was unattractive and mediocre, but those rumors were instantly debunked. The audience was in disbelief at the sight of her.Where did such false information come from?Everyone present could not help but marvel at Lucy. Her most outstanding feature was not her delicate features but the aura she possessed. It made her different from everyone else.It was something she was born with, and not everyone had the same quality.After Charlotte’s appearance just now, it was clear to everyone at first glance who the real princess was.Standing beside Matthew, Lucy looked extremely petite. She had a happy smile on her face while her brother, the king, and the queen sat in front of them. The only one missing was Charlotte, which made people speculate.The reporters had recorded the conversation between Lucy and Charl

Lucy was honest and foresightful. She would never allow her personal grievances to escalate publicly. Matthew admired this quality about her because personal conflicts would only cloud judgment and lead to irreversible consequences. If Charlotte did not know to back down now, the repercussions would be unimaginable.The photo session and the passing of the golden hairpin came to an end. There was some free time before the ball, and Lucy stuck close to Matthew.“Matt, I’m feeling a little tired. The heels are really uncomfortable.”The heels Matt had chosen were relatively high. Despite Lucy’s lack of experience wearing heels to work, she had been wearing them for quite a while today. Her soles felt as if they were on fire, and she knew that continuing to walk in them would only worsen the situation.Seeing her silently endure the pain, Matthew quietly led her to the VIP area.The VIP area was a special banquet hall in the royal palace reserved for prominent figures in society, i

"My wife is a fan of yours, and she’d like to have your autograph. Do you mind signing one for her now?”The female singer promptly took a postcard from her assistant and scribbled on it.“Of course, why not? It’s just a signature. Here you go.”The singer’s off-stage personality matched her carefree nature on stage. She spoke without much restraint, and her down-to-earth nature rubbed off on Matthew.“It seems my wife has good judgment in people. You two would be good friends.”Matthew thought that she had a bright and cheerful personality, similar to Lucy.“Is that so? I saw your wife on stage just now, and she’s gorgeous. She's nothing like what the rumors say. Those rumor-mongers have no grounds.”“You’re too kind.”As the two were engrossed in conversation, Charlotte quietly sneaked over to Lucy’s side.Lucy could not tell whether she was here with good or bad intentions, but she left a spot for her anyway.“I really appreciate what you did earlier.”Lucy did not think

Charlotte could not help but feel like Lucy was not an easy target today. No matter how hard she hit her, the attack never landed. Despite her efforts, Lucy remained indifferent while talking to her.Charlotte’s inner fury was burning hotter and hotter, but she had nowhere to vent it. It was like trying to scratch an itch she could not reach. It was an unbearable feeling!Lucy knew exactly what was going on in Charlotte’s mind. She was trying to drive a wedge between her and Matthew. She had seen such tactics before, but Charlotte’s words were too unconvincing. Anyone could tell that Matthew and the singer were just having a polite conversation as they kept a respectful distance without any inappropriate behavior.If Lucy had not been attentive, she would have fallen for Charlotte’s trick and gotten angry.Seeing as her attempt to provoke Lucy had been in vain, Charlotte had to shift the conversation elsewhere.She glanced at the exquisitely packaged golden hairpin beside Lucy,

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
