Matthew highly valued the integrity and reputation of his business partners in the industry.Hudson had a good reputation and public opinion, so Matthew had wanted to work with him even before Leon Corporation came to Charleston as he was thinking of venturing into the fashion industry back then.Leon Corporation had a limited understanding of the industry at the time and needed to conduct more market research, so working with Hudson would be beneficial.To work with him, Matthew even had his assistant investigate the current circumstances of his fashion company. He found out that if he had worked with Hudson when his company was in their prime, he could have dominated Charleston’s fashion industry. Unfortunately, just when Hudson was poised for greater success, internal struggles within the company led to his sacrifice. He was forced to move to Eurovia.Hudson achieved decent growth in Gerd, but his performance was not as remarkable compared to his peak in Charleston. However, M

There was a time when Hudson would boast about his business expertise. However, that changed when he was overtaken by his uncle. Only then did Hudson understand that no matter how good he thought he was at something, there would always be someone better.Despite having defeated his uncle at first, his uncle was able to sway all the shareholders to his side with a wave of his hand in the end. There were many reasons behind Hudson’s downfall, with pride and arrogance being the most significant. During his time in Eurovia, he managed to temper his emotions and become more composed.Now, with his return to Charleston, he aimed to reclaim what was rightfully his and get his revenge on his uncle.While his family’s business was not growing as rapidly as before, going up against them with the company he built from scratch was still a challenge. He needed the support of other major companies to stand a chance against his uncle.Upon meeting Matthew’s assistant, Kent, Hudson invited him t

Kent was taken aback by Hudson’s confident response to such an unreasonable requirement. It made him stumble over his words. “So… Are you saying you can reach the targets within a year, Mr. Xender?”Kent needed to confirm that Hudson had not misread the contract. It was one year! Was he so quick to agree because he misread the timeline? However, Hudson showed no hesitation as he signed his name on the contract.“Yes, these requirements aren’t difficult for me. Please tell Mr. Leon that I guarantee to meet his collaboration goals.”Hudson understood why Matthew sent his assistant. It was a test to see if he had the determination to accomplish the goal that many thought was unattainable.In that moment, Hudson’s spirits soared. It was as if he had found a newfound motivation and soulmate—-Matthew.Before this, Hudson had gone to great lengths to win over potential partners, attending numerous gatherings and sacrificing much of his free time, only to receive polite refusals from them

When Koven arrived at Matthew’s detached villa, he could not hide his shock. It was more luxurious than he could ever imagine.Koven had heard about the endless wealth of Leon Corporation before coming here, and he had mentally prepared himself. Even so, the sight of the luxurious villa still left him awestruck.Over the years, Koven had earned a considerable amount with his career as a fashion designer. Even his personal studio was considered one of the largest in Charleston. However, compared to this house, his achievements seemed infinitesimal.When he heard Lucy say that Matthew owned several properties in Charleston, Koven fully embraced the meaning of 'comparison is the thief of joy.'Compared to the grandeur of the ground floor, Lucy’s room was much simpler. Her room was filled with her own paintings and many books, unlike downstairs, which was adorned with Matthew’s collections. If Koven accidentally touched anything and broke it, there was no way he could afford to com

Koven closed the notebook. “Lucy, I underestimated you before. Do you know that if you had a good mentor, you would've definitely surpassed me?”Lucy was pleasantly surprised by Koven’s evaluation. He had already praised her highly before, but Lucy thought that he was just saying it to save her from embarrassment. Listening to him now, Lucy realized that he had high expectations for her.Being held in such high regard, Lucy felt uneasy all of a sudden. Flustered, she was beginning to doubt herself. Was she really as capable as Koven said?“Koven, I just read the books like you asked. Aren’t you exaggerating?”“What? Don’t you believe me? Look at what you’ve highlighted. It’s not easy to express understanding of things you’ve never learned before. When I was first starting out, I didn’t have your insight and skills.”Lucy was even more embarrassed now. Was Koven really being sincere? Lucy was still doubtful.“Y-You’re making me shy.”“There’s no need to be shy. You must accept th

Following Koven’s instructions, Lucy did not abandon her unique style, which was a combination of traditional elements and tailored designs to create a unique piece of clothing. Koven highly admired her current level of skill.“But this isn’t enough. You have a general idea in terms of style, but you still need to improve in terms of professional competence. No need to worry. I believe in your abilities. Just read more books. Nothing is too difficult for you,” said Koven.Lucy used to find fashion design courses boring and dry, so she feared that she would not be able to cope or might give up halfway. However, Koven was a great mentor. Not only was he able to answer Lucy’s questions professionally, but he could also help her better understand some of the more complex concepts. This made Lucy more confident about her future.Without even realizing it, it was time for lunch. Lucy asked Koven to stay for the afternoon. He originally had other plans at his studio, but he could not say

Lucy blushed at Koven’s praise.“You’re exaggerating. Cooking is simple. If you want to learn, I can teach you.”Koven nodded eagerly. “Sure!”He wasted no time in picking up a piece of beef.Although the casserole dish was easy to assemble, the cooking time in the oven had to be precise and required the skills of a professional chef. It was the true test of a chef’s culinary expertise.Koven had a mouthful of beef. It was tender and flavorful, truly delicious.Then, Koven had a mouthful of potatoes. The chunks of potatoes were cut to the perfect size, and they were soft and extremely appetizing.Koven exclaimed in amazement. “Wow! This casserole is better than what I’ve had in restaurants!”He was not exaggerating. The restaurants either overcooked the beef or undercooked the potatoes, but Lucy’s version was perfectly balanced.“Did you learn to make this dish from someone else?”Lucy pushed the food toward him, encouraging him to eat more.“Not exactly. I found a cooking v

"Thank you for your concern, Koven. I’ll definitely keep an eye on her.”Lucy wanted to say that she had been wary of Charlotte a long time ago and had developed a sense of vigilance against her ever since getting provoked by her.On the other hand, it seemed to be the second time Koven felt threatened by Charlotte’s subtle warnings.He sighed and said wryly, “You don’t know this but… In our line of work, networking is crucial.”“What do you mean?”Lucy remembered Koven’s warning earlier. She thought that the most important thing for fashion designers was their abilities. “I know I told you that a combination of skill and hard work is important.”Koven explained, hoping to dispel Lucy’s doubts.“Back in the early years of the fashion industry, everyone’s intentions were pure, and there weren’t that many ill-intentioned people yet.“But in recent years, many falsely acclaimed fashion designers have emerged under the guise created by talent agencies. They occupy the path that man

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. She feared that Charlotte might seize any chance to harm the children, so she remained vigilant and meticulous, avoiding any lapses. In her eyes, Matthew Leon and the children represented her entire world, and she could not afford even the slightest mishap.One day, Gabriella Sharpe visited their home. She arrived as lively as ever, wearing impeccably applied makeup that included an expensive shade of lipstick. Her appearance radiated the elegance of a woman of high social standing, making her stand out among the people on the street.Lucy welcomed Gabriella warmly, treating her with utmost respect. It created an atmosphere of family harmony. Gabriella settled into a chair, savoring the fruit that Lucy offered her. She held Johnny closely, reluctant to part with him.

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
