Lucy was glad to see the looks on Timothy's and Luna’s faces. She beckoned to the lady at the front desk and said, “Kelly, go call security and chase these two people out of here.”Noticing that Lucy was in a good mood, Kelly Anniston quickly ran out to call the security guard in.Seeing the CEO of Lucas Corporation and the second daughter of the Quinn family in front of him, the security guard felt a little uneasy. However, he had no choice but to comply with his boss’ instructions.He politely walked toward Timothy and Luna and said, “Mr. Timothy and Ms. Luna, this way, please.”Luna’s beautiful face twisted into an ugly expression as she yelled at Lucy, “How dare you drive me out of here?”Lucy looked at her indifferently and ordered the security guard, “Hurry up.”Luna gritted her teeth in front of the intimidating security guard.She tugged at Timothy, who was still in a daze. “Tim, let’s go.”Timothy had yet to recover from his shock, so he blankly let Luna drag him out o

Lucy watched in astonishment as Matthew took his phone out to dial a number.“Hello, Levi? Send some managers over here. There’s a company that I need them to manage.“Where? Lulu Comics.“Yes, that’s right. It’s Mrs. Leon’s company.”Lucy waited silently for Matthew to finish his call. When he finally hung up, she was going to say something when Matthew immediately made another call.“Ms. Clark, I remember we recruited some arts and design students from Harvard. Assign them to Lulu Comics and tell them that I said so.”After issuing a series of commands, things started to fall into place.When Matthew was done with the calls, he looked at Lucy, who was doubtful and hesitant to speak. “Lulu, what’s wrong?”Lucy shook her head without saying a thing.Matthew sighed. “My dear wife, if you have something to say, just say it. We’re husband and wife. There shouldn’t be any secrets between us.”Lucy lowered her head in shame, and her lips moved slightly. “Matt, thank you for recrui

Sensing Lucy’s dilemma, Matthew paused for a bit and continued, “I know that establishing a company on a global scale is really hard, so the ten million is just the venture capital.“If you come up with a business plan that I’m satisfied with, I don’t mind investing more.”The frown on Lucy’s face relaxed, and she smiled. If what Matthew said was true, it would be doable.Although they were husband and wife, Matthew’s sudden gesture made her feel like he was being too nice to her.Lucy glanced at Matthew suspiciously. “Matt, do you often invest in companies like this? You’re so generous with your investments that I can’t help but feel like you have ulterior motives.”Matthew smiled. “How could I have bad intentions? You’re my wife, and I trust my wife’s business acumen.”Lucy sighed. He was just saying that to please her. If she had Matthew’s mind, would the company even be in this state?Matthew patted Lucy’s head and said, “Have more confidence in yourself. Let’s make a deal.

Matthew cleared his throat. “What I mean is…”He was stuck.Lucy patted Matthew’s back considerately. “It’s okay. I’ll make sure I become number one in the world.”There were burning flames in her eyes. She was confident that she could do it.After composing himself, Matthew took the chance to brush off the awkward moment earlier and said seriously, “Wifey, if you fail, you have to do me a favor.”Lucy looked at him curiously. “What favor?”To her surprise, Matthew shook his head. “I haven’t thought about it yet. Can I tell you after?”Lucy pouted and stamped her feet. “What the heck?”She did not object to it, however.Matthew’s smile grew wider as he took that as a yes.Having made up their minds, they got to work right way as they were not the type to procrastinate.Soon, Matthew’s investment, the managers, and the artists were in place. The environment at the company began to thrive.Lucy stood at the top floor of the office, feeling somewhat dazed as she watched everyo

At home, Matthew put down his cutlery with satisfaction. As expected of someone with a culinary certificate, Lulu’s cooking was delicious.Lucy was happy to see Matthew enjoy his food. What chef would not be happy to see others appreciating their food?After Matthew was done eating, Lucy started to put away the dishes and cutlery into the dishwasher.However, Matthew quickly stopped her. “Since my wife cooked me such a great meal, I’ll do the dishes.”Lucy paused. She was reminded of how Matthew cooked last time and got a bit worried. “Do you know how to do the dishes?”Matthew fell silent. “Wifey, are you looking down on me?”He shook his head and added, “I know how to put the dishes in the dishwasher.”With that thought in mind, Lucy was relieved. It was not like Matthew was not capable of handling a task as simple as loading the dishwasher…She put down the dishes in her hands and watched him clear the table.Perhaps it was because he was a CEO and had never done these thin

No matter how absurd Melanie’s words were, they went in one of Lucy’s ears and out the other.After talking for a long time, Melanie still had not gotten to the point as she was waiting for Lucy to respond.Lucy refused to speak first, but she did not want to waste any more time either. She had already spotted Matthew leaning against the kitchen doorway, patiently waiting for her.She interrupted Melanie, “Mom, get to the point. Do you want me to beg him?”Melanie said matter-of-factly, “Of course. That’s your brother-in-law’s company. How are you so thoughtless, Lulu? We’re family, so we should get along with each other.“Not only that, but we have to help each other out too. How could you ask Mr. Leon to cut off the investment and blacklist his company?”After beating about the bush for so long, Melanie just wanted to say that it was Lucy’s fault. Lucy felt a surge of anger rising within her. Her mother could not get any more shameless than this. It was a pity that she failed

After hanging up, Lucy was so angry that she got a headache. She sat on the chair while her head was throbbing.Matthew walked over to her worriedly and touched her forehead. “Are you okay?”Lucy shook her head. “I’m fine. I’m used to it.”Listening to Lucy’s words, Matthew felt even more sorry for her. “I’ll protect you from now on.”Lucy nodded and said hesitantly, “Matt, after this…”Halfway through her sentence, she sighed and lowered her head in resignation. “Forget it, I’d rather not say.”Matthew felt helpless. “If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t stop halfway, We’ve promised each other that there wouldn't be any secrets between us.”Lucy lowered her head and said sorrowfully, “It’s not a secret. I just want you to strengthen the security around us. My mother might come here, but I really don’t want to see her.”Matthew nodded. “That’s not a problem at all. I’ll tell the security guards to make sure that your idiotic mother doesn’t get in.”Lucy was still f

The more Rohan examined, the more chills ran down his back. How could Lucy’s health get this bad? Did Matthew only just realize it now? He set down his stethoscope with a grave expression and spoke to Matthew. “I’ve completed Mrs. Leon’s health check-up, and I’ve sent the remaining blood samples to the lab to be analyzed. I’ll only be able to draw a conclusion once the results are available.”Matthew’s heart sank when he saw Rohan’s expression. He looked toward Lucy anxiously.Lucy felt a little flustered by his attitude. She took her hand out from under the blanket and grabbed Matthew’s sleeve. “Matt, is there something wrong with my body?”Matthew calmed her down and patted her hand. “Everything is fine. There’s nothing wrong with you. Get some rest. You’ll feel better when you wake up.”His gentle reassurance calmed her racing heart. She let out a sigh of relief and closed her eyes.Matthew listened to Lucy’s steady breathing and tucked her in. He shot Rohan a look, signaling

As Gabriella examined the luxurious clothes, bags, shoes, and pants, she could not help but feel that Lucy was completely unappreciative of such treasures.

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
