Chapter 581

Author: Tang Eighteen
Matthew wanted to slam the table and blow his top, but the well-mannered side of him reminded him that he should not lose his temper at others at the table.

He called the waiter over to order a few dishes. Ted from Sunrise Group kept smiling throughout the meal while emphasizing what an honor it was for him to be working with Leon Corporation. There was a smile on Matthew’s face throughout, but he had nothing to say.

Kent knew that Matthew was getting impatient. He had worked with Matthew for many years and understood Matthew’s character and personality very well. When Matthew smiled that way and said nothing, it meant that he was very angry.

However, Ted had no understanding of how Matthew was. Moreover, he was not observant at all. Ted kept on talking about how incredible Sunrise Group was.

He seemed to have forgotten that Leon Corporation had always been at the top of the pyramid. Matthew did not care how well Sunrise Group was developed.

When he heard Ted heaping praises on h

    They were in a huge shopping mall located in the city center. This shopping mall contained mainly luxury brands, which was why despite it being renowned, many would end up being scared off by the prices.Even though Lucy was married to Matthew and was given his supplementary card, and she had unlimited use of money as a princess, she still felt the clothes here were too expensive. It was because of the way she had grown up.“Chelsea, weren’t we supposed to visit another shopping mall? Why did you bring me here? The clothes here are too expensive. I don’t really want to shop here…”“Come on, Lulu. It’s time you made a change. The clothes here might be a little expensive, but they're of really good quality. Every penny is worth it. These clothes can be customized. I think they’re worth spending money on.”Chelsea pulled Lucy into a boutique she was familiar with.“The summer collection here can all be customized. Do you want to try them on?”Lucy was blown away by the interior of t

    Chelsea was full of praise and even sounded a little envious.Hugh had been making her eat the past few days, and she was now five or six pounds heavier. As for Lucy, no matter how much she ate, she did not seem to get fat.Lucy’s past dressing style could never show off her body. This dress accentuated every voluptuous curve on her body, making Chelsea envious and jealous to see her look so good.“I’m so envious of you, Lulu. You’ve got such a great body, not like me. I got fat because of Hugh, and now I can’t fit into this dress.”“What are you talking about? You still look great. I’m pretty sure you can fit into it.”“Alright. Stop consoling me. Come on. Let’s have a look in the mirror.”Chelsea pushed Lucy to the mirror. Lucy was surprised to see her reflection in the mirror. Lucy had always been fair-skinned. This dress highlighted the beauty of her skin. As the dress was dark red, it made her fair skin look bright and beautiful. It was the greatest complement to her skin co

    It was not long before Hugh came rushing into the mall. He ran toward Chelsea the moment he saw her and could hardly catch his breath.“I’m sorry, Chelsea. Things got a little busy at the office, and I just got done with work…”Chelsea forgave him when she saw him that way.Matthew was still in his office.“Is my wife home?” Matthew read the document in his hands while asking Kent.“Mrs. Leon hasn’t returned home yet, Mr. Leon. The driver will inform us once they’re home.”Matthew looked unhappy.“It’s been quite a while. Why haven’t they reached home yet?”Kent heard the slight frostiness in Matthew’s voice, and a chill crept down his back.Matthew thought about this for a while before putting his work down and leaving.Hugh shopped around with Chelsea and Lucy before leaving the mall.That was when they bumped into Matthew rushing in.Lucy gave him several glances when she saw Matthew walking in. He should be in the office right now.“Oh my, little Lulu. Your man is here

    The moon was beautiful that night. It was big and round, and the sky was filled with stars. There was a light breeze on the balcony that night, and the trees were swaying gently in the breeze as they rustled.Lucy lay on the lounge chair and felt herself relax after two days of being high-strung at work. The feeling was wonderful.Matthew felt happy looking at her that way. He took out a blanket from the room to cover her.“Do you think I can really take up the position of chief designer, Matthew?” Lucy looked up at the sky and asked Matthew.Matthew felt sad when Lucy looked that way. He walked to her side and said, “Of course, you can. You don’t need to be stressed out about it!”Lucy felt lucky at moments like this. She was able to meet Matthew and spend the rest of her life with him……The next morning, Lucy woke up on her bed. She went to clean herself up. Matthew had already gone to the office by then.After cleaning up, she went downstairs to make breakfast, but breakfas

    Daniel looked out the window after hanging up.He said toward the door, “Come in.”His assistant entered and stood where he was without moving. He could tell that Daniel was not in a good mood.“Send someone to watch over Linus. Drag him over to me the moment you notice anything unusual. Make sure this doesn’t go wrong!”His assistant left immediately to get this done.Linus, oh, Linus! He hoped that Linus did not forget whose side he was on. If he did, Daniel would not let him off!Lucy decided to head out to paint in the afternoon to get some inspiration for her dress. She packed up her things and walked quickly toward the beach.

What are you doing here?” Lucy was surprised to see Linus appear.He went into a slight daze as he saw her dressed differently than usual.Lucy was wearing a flower dress. She had t

    Matthew called Lucy on the phone while driving over.The phone kept ringing in Lucy’s pocket. She took it out to find out who was calling. She picked up the call happily when she saw it was from Matthew.“Matthew!”Linus could not help feeling jealous of Matthew when he heard how happily Lucy picked up the call.“Hello, Matthew?” Lucy suddenly felt unsettled when no one replied to her.Even though Matthew was happy to hear her voice, he tried to hold himself back and stay silent to force Lucy to apologize to him.However, Lucy thought there was something wrong with his line and hung up.Matthew looked at the disconnected call. His expression fell as he called her again.Lucy was puzzled when she saw him calling her again.“Hello? Matthew?”Matthew decided to say something this time in case Lucy hung up on him again.“I’m here.

    The veins on Matthew’s forehead throbbed as he watched Linus walk away. He clenched his fists.Lucy got angry at the thought of what Mathew did, but she found it comical to see him being so jealous.“Hey! What’s wrong with you?” Lucy turned away to look at the scenery in a huff while asking him.Matthew turned only to see her back when he heard her voice.She was wearing a floral dress today and had her hair tied in pigtails. Her dress billowed in the wind. She made a picture-perfect sight.Matthew went up to her and hugged her. He leaned in close and mumbled, “I’m sorry. That was rash of me… But… you were just too close to him…”“That wasn’t close. He was helping me take a look at my painting.”Matthew took out his phone to show her the photo.Lucy looked at it. That was her and Linus in the photo! She turned and pushed Matthew away. She yelled at him, “Matthew Leon!

    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
