"We might not have known each other before this, but we can get to know each other now!”The man seemed unfazed. He was either playing dumb or truly oblivious to Lucy’s hostility. He persisted, saying nonsensical things to her.“Isn’t it lonely for a beautiful lady like you to be sitting here alone? Don’t worry, I’ll come to your rescue.”Lucy looked at him with confusion.“Don’t look at me like that. I’d be more than happy to spend the rest of my time with you.”At this point, Lucy had no words.“Why don’t we leave this café? Let’s go to my hotel room. I have something to show you.”Lucy almost frowned in disgust. She ignored this man at first, hoping he would take the hint and leave on his own. However, this stranger was practically harassing her, so she felt the need to push back.“I won’t go to your hotel with you, sir. Please show some respect.” Lucy pushed the cup in front of her aside and continued, “I haven’t asked you to leave because I thought if I ignored you, you’

Lucy and Linus chatted happily.After getting to know Linus, Lucy realized that he was quite easy to get along with. He was polite and never crossed the line by asking inappropriate questions. Unlike the fake and disgusting man she had just encountered, Linus’ words carried no lewdness.Lucy asked, “Are you from here?”“Yes, I was born and raised here, a true local.”“I see. I feel like I’ve seen you before…”“Really? I feel the same.” Linus’ eyes showed a hint of suspicion.“Y-You know who I am?”“Of course. You’re the royal princess of Charleston. I’ve seen you in the news before.” Linus stirred his honey tea.“Ah… I thought I had disguised myself well enough, but you still recognized me.”Lucy deliberately wore a pair of black-framed glasses, thinking that no one would recognize her. Since her identity had been made public and she had appeared on television, she would often be recognized in public, which had become quite troublesome.“You just wore a pair of glasses. Of co

Matthew had noticed Lucy long before, but when he saw the man sitting across from her, his expression turned cold.Linus was well-spoken, and he was especially gentlemanly when speaking with Lucy.However, Lucy did not notice Matthew’s expression at all. As soon as she saw him, she happily waved at him.“Matt, I was going to wait for you by the road, but since you told me to wait for you in the café and I just so happened to have a lot of stuff with me, I came here for convenience.”Lucy pointed at the sketchpad and the scattered items on the table. She had indeed brought quite a lot of things with her.Matthew softened his tone a bit when speaking to Lucy, “Why didn’t you ask the butler to send a car for you? How did you manage to bring all this stuff to the beach?”Lucy looked at him playfully. “I told the butler before coming here. I’ve been overworking myself these days and needed to relax, so I brought my sketchpad here.”Matthew caressed her face, ignoring Linus, who was w

"I really have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, that man would’ve kept bothering me.”Lucy continued expressing her gratitude to Linus, which stirred up jealousy in Matthew.Sometimes, Matthew’s intuition was even more accurate than Lucy’s.Linus responded to Lucy’s repeated thanks, “I told you that it’s no problem. Thank you for the treat earlier. The cappuccino was delicious.”With that, he finished the remaining half cup of cappuccino and left the café.Matthew finally relaxed from his alert state.“Matt, aren’t you tired from driving for so long?” Lucy grabbed Matthew’s hand.“Why don’t we find a place to rest for the night? We can go back tomorrow morning. You’ve had a busy day, so you must be exhausted.”Lucy knew exactly why Matthew was upset and silent. It was all because of Linus.Matthew’s emotions were quite volatile. Once he calmed down, he would realize he had behaved poorly and unlike him. He was usually calm, even when dealing with urgent matters. However, h

Linus returned to his car and lit a cigarette.He was extremely nervous before his first meeting with Matthew, but it turned out differently than expected.Linus’ entire focus was on Matthew’s wife, Lucy.The long-lost sense of familiarity returned, but it was unlike the fleeting and intangible feeling one would experience when dreaming. Linus felt as though he had met Lucy a long time ago.However, amidst his chaotic thoughts and foggy mind, he could not pinpoint exactly when he had seen Lucy. His intuition told him that it was when a fiery warmth had embraced him during his most vulnerable and desperate moments. Unfortunately, since joining Spades, he never experienced that warmth again.Before joining the organization, Linus was a homeless child, orphaned and alone. He spent almost every day sleeping under bridges with the sky as his roof and the ground as his bed. Sometimes, he would scavenge for food with beggars in garbage bins when he was starving.Eventually, his frailty

That was why Linus was able to stand out in the organization, earning the admiration of Daniel. His standing in the organization remained unmatched.Returning to the present day, Linus realized he had not really smoked his cigarette. It had burned down untouched, so he put it out and tossed the stub out of the car window.Watching the distant figures of Lucy and Matthew, he felt a twinge in his heart.Since the moment Linus was born, the word 'loneliness' had been permanently tied to him. No matter how many subordinates he had under his command or how prestigious his standing was in the organization, he always felt lonely because no one truly understood him.If he could go back in time, Linus would not have joined the organization, even though the organization was practically another savior to him.After separating from that little girl, he fell seriously ill and nearly died on the streets. It was Daniel’s men who rescued him and brought him into the organization, saving his life.

Linus did not want to block Gwen’s number because he felt that was too harsh.Although he had been distancing himself from her in recent years, he knew her personality well. If he blocked her number and bumped into her the next day, it would only complicate their situation further.…When Lucy woke up the next morning, she noticed that Matthew was already awake.“Matt, why did you wake up so early?”“It’s not that early anymore, you lazybug. The sun is already high in the sky.”Lucy rubbed her eyes and noticed that the breakfast Matthew ordered was on the table—a ham sandwich and a glass of milk.Lucy was still half-asleep as she spoke groggily, “I slept earlier than you last night even though you’re much busier with work.”“You spent the entire day sketching by the beach yesterday. It must’ve been tiring. You just didn’t realize it. You were obviously lying when you said you weren’t tired at the café yesterday.”Although Lucy went to bed early yesterday, her dark circles were

Back at the company, Matthew had Kent bring him today’s work schedule as usual.“Mr. Leon, today’s workload is even heavier than yesterday, so you might have to work overtime again.”Kent was used to working overtime because as long as there was a chance for a raise, he had no complaints. Matthew had always been generous with employee benefits, offering double pay for overtime, which served as motivation for the employees under him.“Alright… Isn’t Sunrise Group supposed to send someone over today to discuss the Eurovian project with us? Have you done the preparations for that?”“Mr. Leon… That’s actually what I wanted to talk to you about today. Last week, we discussed work-related matters and contract details with Sunrise Group, but this morning, their head sent us an email saying they want to have a more in-depth discussion about profit distribution in the contract.”Matthew was getting a little impatient. “Why is the head of Sunrise Group changing their stance now? And just be

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
