Chloe felt Hudson's grip on her wrist. She tried with all her might to pull away, but it was no use."What are you trying to do, Hudson?"Chloe's face turned bright red with annoyance. She really did not want to fight with Hudson in front of her colleague. It was just too embarrassing.The roses Hudson had brought were on the floor, petals scattered around his feet. Felix could tell there was trouble, probably because Hudson had tried to do something sweet, but Chloe was not having any of it."Sir," Felix started to speak. Seeing Chloe trying to get away from Hudson, he quickly stepped in like a true gentleman and pulled Chloe to his side. "Let's just talk this out. No need to get physical."Hudson stared at Felix, shocked. Could this guy and Chloe... They were wearing the same aprons, and with the way he was acting all protective, quietly pulling Chloe back to his side…No, something was not adding up..."Sir, what's really going on between you and Chloe?"Felix's sharp questi

At Life Story Company, the planning team was huddled together, whispering words of comfort to a young woman sobbing uncontrollably. Just ten minutes earlier, Hudson had given her a severe talking-to, and she could not help feeling utterly wronged. She was now crying out loud in the office. "Mary, what's wrong?" they asked. Mary cried even harder, her words interrupted by sobs. "Mr. Xender... got mad at me for a small mistake at work. He said if I mess up like this again, I might as well pack up and leave."One of her colleagues chimed in, " Mary, did you mess up a report or something?" Mary nodded, tears streaming down her face. "It was a brand event. I mixed up one of the rules... and Mr. Xender really let me have it when he found out."Another colleague shared their feelings of regret. " Mary, you were in the wrong this time, and it's not fair to blame Mr. Xender for how he reacted.""I know, but why did Mr. Xender get so... scary?!" Mary was still rattled by Hudson's recent f

"So, does this mean I did it?" Lucy asked, barely containing her excitement."Yes," Matthew replied, and his simple answer made Lucy's heart soar. She had passed the challenge set by Matthew and Hudson."Really? You're not just saying that because you like my work, are you?"Matthew cracked a smile. "I do play favorites... but not when it comes to this. Hudson and I both agreed, so no, there were no special favors."Lucy was so overjoyed she could not find the words. She flopped back onto her bed. Gazing at her design drafts, her mind raced with possibilities."Guess what? There was actually a secret judge this time," Matthew said with a twinkle in his eye. "Want to know who it was?""Who was it?"Lucy peered at Matthew, sensing she might know that mystery judge.Matthew decided to spill the beans. "It's Koven.""Koven? How could he...""Koven's buddies with Hudson, so when he heard I was putting your name forward as the designer, Koven chose to put you to the test himself. A

It was Lucy's first time meeting Hudson. He was so focused on the papers on his desk that he did not notice her walk in."Mr. Xender?"Lucy had to call out a few times before Hudson looked up.Hudson raised his head from his work. "Hello, you are...?"With a warm smile, Lucy said, "I'm Lucy.""Oh, you're Mrs. Leon?""Yes."Lucy gave an embarrassed smile."I've heard so much about you. Mr. Leon always brings you up during our annual meetings... Did he send you over today?" Hudson said."Yes, Matthew thinks it's best to discuss the company's brand with you, so that's why I'm here for work."Hudson looked really tired, with dark circles under his eyes that he could not hide.Lucy was worried Hudson might fall asleep any minute. "Mr. Xender, did you have trouble sleeping last night? Maybe you should rest a bit. I can always visit another day."As Lucy got ready to leave, Hudson said he did not need to rest."It's okay. Work can be overwhelming, and it's normal to lose some sle

Hudson did not mean to spill his heart out to someone he had just met, but he could not control his feelings. Thinking of Chloe's coldness, his heart felt like it was being torn apart. He needed to find a way to let it all out."Sorry, I just don't know where else to let it all out... Did Mr. Leon send you?"Hudson tried to focus on the important stuff, but his mind kept wandering."Yeah, Matthew and I have gone over the design plans, but we still need your input... Mr. Xender?"Lucy could tell Hudson was spacing out, and it was tough to keep the conversation going."Mr. Xender, if something's bothering you, maybe we can skip the work talk for now?"Hudson knew he was too caught up in his own worries to think about work right then.Lucy had a bright idea."Mr. Xender, you seem really worried. It must be about someone you care about. What if... I talk to her for you? Would that help?"Hudson was curious, but if it might help, he was ready to share everything about Chloe with Lu

Everything was so quiet for a moment that Lucy could hear her own heart thumping. She wondered if Chloe would find out Hudson sent her and just send her away. "Hudson?" Chloe looked a little funny, but she did not kick Lucy out. "You're not mad, are you, Chloe?" Lucy had only met Chloe that day, but she seemed nice, even though Hudson had complained about her. Chloe gave Lucy a chocolate bar, placing it softly in her hand. "This chocolate is super sweet," Chloe said, staring at Lucy like they had not just been talking about Hudson. Lucy felt nervous holding the chocolate, but she tried it anyway. It was as sweet as Chloe said, really sweet. "Can I call you Lulu?" Chloe asked, not even noticing Lucy's worried look. She was trying to make Lucy feel better. "Sure, that's okay," Lucy said, a bit dazed. "You're not scared I'll send you away, are you?" Chloe's smile made Lucy sit up straight. "Am I going to be sent away?" Lucy sat up tall and looked at Chloe, wondering if s

"Chloe, um...""Lulu, I whipped up some mango pancakes. Give them a taste!"Chloe cut off Lucy, presenting the mango pancakes she had made."You made these?"Lucy had always been keen to learn baking, but she just could not get the hang of it. She could cook up a storm, but desserts were like a foreign language to her.Chloe acted as if it was no big deal. "Of course! I learned from a dessert chef. If I couldn't make these, I'd be pretty lame, right?""And you still find time to learn this with your busy job? I never have the time."Chloe passed a dainty spoon to Lucy. "You know, I've been thinking about quitting my job. Being a dessert chef is my dream."Lucy eagerly scooped up a bite of the mango pancake. It was soft, bursting with mango flavor. It was sweet and fragrant but not too rich.Lucy remembered the fancy desserts she had tried at a Charleston party. Chloe's mango pancakes were just as good as those desserts made by top pastry chefs.In no time at all, Lucy had pol

Lucy blamed herself for not being able to help at all. Hudson had repeatedly asked Lucy to talk to Chloe for him, hoping that Chloe would at least give him a phone call.However, Hudson and Lucy had overestimated themselves. Chloe’s disappointment and indifference seemed irreparable, and not even God could help.It appeared that Hudson would need a lot more time to change Chloe’s mind.“I’m sorry, Chloe. I had no idea Hudson did that to you. If I had known the truth, I wouldn’t have helped him.”“It’s okay. It’s not your fault for not knowing.” Chloe was very kind. She brought out a strawberry cake from the fridge and said, “I made this earlier, but I was afraid I couldn’t finish it all, so it’s perfect that you’re here to help me out.”Chloe’s strawberry cake looked irresistible. Lucy took a small bite, and as expected, she was not disappointed. The combination of strawberries and cream melted in her mouth, yet it was not cloying at all.“Chloe, have you thought about quitting y

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
