The next day's festival highlight was divided into several parts, starting with a grand auction where rare wines—treasured and stored in cellars by buyers and sellers alike—would be up for bids.At the Charleston palace, there was an auction unlike any other. It was special because it helped a charity. Some of the money made from selling things went straight to helping people in need.Next up was the super fun wine-tasting game. Anyone could join, no matter how old they were, what job they had, or where they came from. They got to try really yummy red wines, and if they could guess where and when the wine was made, they could win a big prize! For years, that guessing game had been tough, with no one able to win the final round. It had been a big mystery that everyone loved to talk about. The media could not wait to see if someone would finally solve it that day.After the wine fun, it was time for Charleston Fashion Week. It was a whole week of people showing off new clothes from

After a long day, Lucy was starting to ache all over, feeling it even in her bones.She fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed, and Matthew could not take his eyes off her gentle features. He was unable to resist caressing her delicate skin.Lucy’s beauty was inoffensive. Only those who spent time with her would understand her infinite charm.Matthew wanted to protect her from the outside world, but Lucy bore the responsibility of the royal princess of Charleston, so she could not escape her duties. That was one of Matthew’s dilemmas.His wife was so attractive that she would draw many eyes to her, making him jealous.Over the years, Matthew had never felt this way before. The word 'jealousy' was not in his dictionary.Since he was a child, he stood out among his peers with his outstanding learning abilities.During exams, his extraordinary intelligence always shone through, regardless of the papers' difficulty. He always came out at the top, and no one ever came close.

A dreamless night passed.When Lucy woke up, Matthew had already prepared breakfast. Seeing how tired Lucy was yesterday and how fast she fell asleep, Matthew could not help but worry about her. Thus, he got up early to make breakfast.The aroma of homemade sandwiches and milk greeted Lucy’s senses when she woke up, overwhelming her with joy. She had gotten much lazier ever since she got together with Matthew.After breakfast, it was time for the highlight of the Wine Festival.More guests arrived today compared to yesterday, and the reporters had gathered at the venue since early morning, making it almost impossible to squeeze through.Lucy glanced outside the palace garden and saw even more fans today.They held up banners and photos of their favorite stars, shouting loudly outside the venue.It was rumored that a superstar guest flew in from overseas to attend the event today. As they had been staying out of the spotlight for a while, their comeback attracted a lot of attenti

The first participant lifted the first glass of red wine and took a small sip before writing down the brand and year the wine was made.The other participants followed suit and tasted the wine before writing down their answers.Lucy was calm as she had tasted this wine before. Perhaps it was luck because Matthew had taken her to a banquet once where she had the opportunity to taste it.She did not intend to drink on that day, but she decided to try the red wine on a whim.Lucy had never been against drinking. It was just that she never had the spare money to indulge in it, let alone in expensive red wines like these.After taking the first sip, the fragrance of the red wine filled her mouth, causing her tastebuds to dance with delight.The quality of the wine was exceptional, and the rich aroma was one of a kind. Lucy had not been able to forget the taste ever since.Unexpectedly, it was the first glass of wine presented at the event, so Lucy confidently wrote down the name of t

Unlike the previous rounds, the final round only presented a single glass of red wine.However, the participants had to correctly identify the brand, year, and exact date this particular series of red wine was officially launched.The first two criteria seemed manageable, but the last one was a challenge because the gap between the year the wine was produced and the year it was officially released could vary. The higher the demand, the shorter the gap between the two dates, which reflected its superior quality and customer appeal.Lucy gazed at the clear red liquid in the glass, noticing that it seemed different from the wines presented earlier. However, she was too far away to smell the aroma of the wine.Everyone in the room fell silent, holding their breath as they watched intently at the two participants taking a sip.Their expressions were calm before tasting the wine, but afterward, they both looked puzzled. They stared thoughtfully at their glasses of wine.The final round

Seaside luxury villas worth tens of millions were something everyone dreamed of, but the chances of earning this much money in a lifetime were unlikely for many.Bringing in such a large foreign trade order for the winners’ respective companies was like winning the lottery. The expressions on the two winners’ faces were filled with joy. They were definitely going to receive a raise and get promoted after they brought back this good news to their companies. This route was much faster than having to slave away for several years.However, Lucy was puzzled. How were those two participants so knowledgeable about this wine brand?At this moment, Matthew cleared he

Now, it was a different story. Every time he spoke, it was always so cheesy. Although Lucy enjoyed it, hearing such words made her scalp tingle and her body break out in goosebumps.However, Matthew shrugged and smirked. “I thought all women would fall for this kind of thing…”Lucy laughed even more when she heard that. “Where did you hear that from?”Matthew was momentarily surprised. “Isn’t that the case? Maybe that person lied to me…”Lucy shook her head. “You’re not entirely wrong. Let me put it this way. It’s not just women who like hearing such words, but you men like hearing them too! "Admit it. If I were to say things like ‘I love you,' 'I really like you,' 'I want to be by your side every day,' and 'I don’t want you to leave,' wouldn’t you be glad too?”Regardless of age, everyone liked listening to sweet words. Some even thought their partners did not say enough sweet words to them, but it was all part of the romance.Matthew was relieved as he initially thought that

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
