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

A few bites into the meal, Lucy lost her appetite. More importantly, she wanted to know what else Charlotte had said to Koven. If she had said anything offensive or threatening to Koven, Lucy was not going to let her get away with it.“How do I avoid these situations from happening?”Koven did not have a huge reaction. In fact, his expression barely changed since he told Lucy these things, and he still had a good appetite. “I mentioned earlier that you have Matthew to back you up. There’s no need to draw a clear line between what he can or can't help with. I’m sure that the two of you help each other a lot in your relationship, and I believe Matthew wouldn't just let something like that happen to you. "I know how he is, and there’s no doubt how much he cares about you.”Lucy found it hard to believe that Koven had such a clear understanding of her relationship with Matthew when they had only known each other for a short time. However, his next words provided her with the answer

Koven sighed. “After finding out that I wanted to be your mentor, she started to reach out to me, trying to isolate you by pulling me in.”“Is she really that childish?”How dare Charlotte still resort to such cliche tactics? Lucy almost found it degrading. “Lucy, you need to understand that these methods may sound cliche, but they work. The scariest part is that she’s taking advantage of other people’s kindness.”Just the mention of Charlotte’s name seemed to burden Lucy endlessly. If that was the case, she was going to confront her head-on.“What conditions did she offer you?”Koven waved his hand dismissively. “Forget about it. I won't accept any amount of money from her. I even wanted to tear up the dress she asked me to make. After the way she insulted me, I would never agree to anything she said.“Lucy, the reason Charlotte is targeting me is because of our relationship, so you should think carefully about how she might use the same tactic on others. If she already tried to

The concept of their collaborative brand’s design was focused on the signature minimalist style that Hudson’s company excelled in. However, executing this collection required designers with strong expertise.The designers from Hudson’s company lacked sufficient experience, and their design philosophies were different from their desired direction, so they were set aside.That meant that they had to find replacements who were even more skilled, which was quite the challenge, given the short timeframe.The collection was scheduled to launch in the latter half of the year, which meant they had only six months left.Given that there were no other options, Hudson came up with a compromise. “How about this? Designer No. 3 works for my company. His work may be lacking a little, but it seems we have no other choice for now.”Abandoning the plan to launch the clothing line in the latter half of the year was not an option. Many major brands would be launching new products at the end of the y

Matthew’s voice was not loud, but each word struck Samantha’s heart like a hammer. It left her breathless as she wondered what Matthew would say next.Seeing as she was still standing there, Matthew said, “Did I not make myself clear?”Samantha tried to hide her frustration and disappointment. After spending so much time with Matthew, she knew his temperament well. It was best to do as he said.“But Matt… I thought you still haven’t chosen anyone.”“Who I choose is irrelevant now. What I want to know is how you came to know about this.” Matthew sat on the couch and looked at her with a rigid posture.Matthew did not have to ask. He could already guess that it was his mother, Gabriella, meddling in his business again.He noticed that information about his activities was leaking from within the company. It was not just him being paranoid. Gabriella never failed to bring up what he was doing, covering it up with clumsy lies, which only made her more suspicious.After finding out ab

“Alright, alright…”Samantha began spouting nonsense out of excitement. Did this mean that she would be able to spend more time with Matthew in the future?However, Samantha was happy over this for nothing. It was not what she thought at all.Matthew was relieved to finally be rid of this huge trouble.There was a huge problem at work when Matthew received the call from Hudson. The people working for him were getting unreliable. A data entry mistake had caused a contract to be wrongly drafted.Matthew berated Pete, the person in charge of this, sharply. A lot of yelling was involved.He asked coldly, “Who was in charge of the data entry?”“I am…” A man standing at the very end put up his hand to say.“Who was the one in charge of fact-checking?”“That was me, Mr. Leon…” A young woman put up her hand.“Did Pete check the data?”Pete nodded. His gut told him that Matthew was about to blow his top.“Is this the standard we’re supposed to have after you’ve done the checking?”

Hudson asked hesitatingly, “Mr. Leon, are you… playing a guessing game with me? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.”Matthew had no choice but to tell him the truth of what happened.“Samantha Shelby is a designer my mother recommended. That’s the reason why I told her to try and interview with your company.”“But Mr. Leon… This woman isn’t capable enough for the job. Also…”He was reminded of Samantha’s attitude. Hudson felt like she was a fly that kept buzzing around his ear.Samantha claimed that she was a rookie designer, but her attitude did not reflect that. She did not act like a newbie in the working world and did not regard her superiors in such a manner.“She claims to have just started working, but she doesn’t look like a newbie at all. She name-dropped you the moment she walked into my office and kept ordering my secretary and everyone else around. "Those who weren't aware she was here for an interview might think she was somebody important. Have you seen

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
