Chapter 594

Author: Tang Eighteen
Charlie looked at Lucy and smiled. "Mrs. Leon, I'm a lawyer and a friend of Matthew's. We've met before, I believe."

Lucy, not worrying about whether they had met, quickly said thanks.

"Thank you for stepping in."

Charlie gave a small smile and told Lucy, "No worries, but I've got to run now."

"Alright, thanks again."

"Bye-bye, Mr. Handsome!" Chelsea watched Charlie walk away, her eyes filled with a dreamy look.

Lucy saw Chelsea acting like that and gave her a playful pat.

"You've got Hugh, and yet you're still mooning over other guys!"

"Oh, come on, a face like that is just begging to be admired!"

Lucy did not know what to say to that, so she just shook her head and pulled Chelsea toward the restaurant.

Right when they walked into the restaurant, they bumped into Luna and Timothy once more.

Lucy was about to turn around and leave, but Chelsea held her back.

"Don't worry about them. They didn't even see us, so relax!"

Lucy sighed and decided to go along with it.

    "Luna! Are you done causing a scene?"Luna shot Timothy a fierce look and then burst into fake tears."Timothy, how could you be so mean to me?!"Timothy just stood there, not saying a word. His expression was as frigid as ice.When Timothy ignored her, Luna spun around to face Lucy, her expression turning nasty."Lucy, I heard that Matthew leaves you all alone at home a lot since you guys got married. How can you even eat here with a straight face? That's so embarrassing!"Timothy, hearing Luna's harsh words, quickly pulled her aside and told her to stop.By then, a crowd had started to gather. They were watching the drama unfold.Lucy let out a chilling laugh. "Like mother, like daughter, Luna. You're just like her."Luna was about to lash out when a voice came from behind."Try laying a finger on her, I dare you."Matthew strode in from the entrance, having heard all of Luna's cruel words. Anger flared up inside him as he moved to stand by Lucy, glaring at Luna.Seeing M

    "I'm gonna head out. You two have fun. Bye, Lucy," Chelsea said. She then turned and walked away.Matthew beamed at Lucy.Feeling his gaze, Lucy bashfully looked down."Matthew... Maybe we should head home..." she murmured.Seeing her like this, Matthew's smile grew even wider.…Once home, Lucy dove into her design work with her usual passion. She was a designer, and she could not slack off like before.Suddenly, Lucy's phone buzzed.It was a notification from Hudson. Lucy was over the moon, quickly accepted it, and started jumping around with joy.Matthew walked in just in time to see her giggling to herself.He strode over, grabbed the phone from her hands, and saw the name—Hudson. Another message popped up: [Hi Lucy.]At that moment, Matthew's mood turned sour, his face clouding over with a frown.Lucy, still beaming, finally noticed something was off with Matthew."Matthew, what's the matter?" Lucy was puzzled by Matthew's odd behavior.Matthew looked at Lucy with a

    "Ms. Quinn, please come this way," Hudson invited after a polite handshake. Lucy nodded eagerly and followed him into his office. Once seated, Hudson opened up Lucy's draft work. "Ms. Quinn, this is the draft that Matthew shared with me. I really love it, and I'm thinking of turning it into our new model for the year and releasing it widely. What do you think about that?" Hudson asked, smiling at Lucy with anticipation.Lucy stared at the computer screen, where her first-ever dress design was displayed. It was a long, flowing gown adorned with delicate embroidery. Starting with a pristine white at the top, it gradually transitioned into a soft pink hue toward the hem, creating a captivating ombre effect that appeared to be quite popular."Is this... really okay?" Lucy could hardly believe it. Her simple design, something she had just thrown together, was picked to be the new hit of the year.Hudson watched her, trying not to laugh at her shocked face. "You don't have to worry,

    Hudson grinned, pleased that Lucy was happy.Lucy stepped into her workspace and eagerly looked all around."This is amazing!" she exclaimed with delight."If you like it, that's perfect. When I was picking out the decor, I wasn't sure what you'd prefer, so I went with something simple. I've seen your early work, and it's all pretty straightforward, so I figured you'd enjoy this style." Lucy listened to Hudson and could not help but be impressed by how thoughtful he was."Thanks, Mr. Xender. I didn't realize you were so detail-oriented," she said with a smile.After a bit of time admiring the new office room, Hudson invited Lucy to grab a bite to eat at the restaurant downstairs."Ms. Quinn, can I ask you something a bit personal?" Hudson's eyes twinkled with mischief.Feeling intrigued, Lucy nodded. "Go ahead, Mr. Xender.""How do you put up with Matthew's super serious expression all the time?" Hudson asked, grinning at Lucy.Lucy laughed, then said, "Oh, Matthew's actuall

He could not help but worry for Hudson.Matthew climbed up to the second floor and found Hudson and Lucy sitting across from each other, laughing and talking.He walked over to them, his face stormy with anger.Lucy saw him coming and quickly smiled. She waved him over to join them.Hudson noticed Matthew approaching and let out a little laugh. He could tell from Matthew's face that he was feeling really jealous.Matthew sat down beside Lucy and looked at Hudson with a frosty stare. "Mr. Xender, does it really take this long to show my wife around the office? And you have to eat together too?"Hudson saw the look on Matthew's face, turned to Lucy, and shrugged his shoulders. He threw up his hands like he did not know what to say.Lucy turned to Matthew and gave him a little poke. "Mr. Xender was a huge help to me this morning, and he's even going to use

    Daniel chuckled softly, a sly grin on his face."Henry, go send this photo to all the big media outlets. I want a media storm that'll ruin them."When Matthew got home, he and Lucy were so sleepy they just crashed into bed.Not long after, Matthew's phone started ringing off the hook.Matthew hated being woken up like that.However, the ringing would not stop, so he took a quick look. He saw that Lucy was still sound asleep, so he grabbed his phone and headed to the living room.He checked the caller ID and called back. It was Hudson."Hey! Mr. Leon, you finally picked up," Hudson said.Matthew, annoyed, replied, "What's going on? Just tell me.""Please, I need your help," Hudson pleaded. "Someone snapped a photo of me and Lucy eating on the restaurant's second floor today, and now it's all over the news. Lucy's brother, Prince Theodore from Charleston, has dug up my past. "He just threatened to expose the dirt on me to keep me away from Lucy. Why am I, an outsider, gettin

    Matthew entered the room again to find Lucy tossing and turning in bed.The sight of her put a smile on his face.‘Lulu, I promise to love you for the rest of my life. It has been an honor meeting you, and I hope we’ll go the distance together,’ Matthew thought to himself.He climbed into bed and went back to sleep, holding Lucy close.…Meanwhile, Hudson was still pondering the identity of the anonymous investor. He was checking online for more clues when the phone on the table rang.Seeing the incoming call, Hudson hesitated to pick up, but he eventually did.“Yes, Uncle Josiah?” Hudson’s tone was cold and subdued.A deep voice came from the other end of the line. “Hudson, I heard you’re working with Leon Corporation.”Hudson knew that this conversation was inevitable.“Yes. Mrs. Leon has a remarkable talent, so I worked with Leon Corporation to sign with her, hoping that her work will benefit our company.”A cold chuckle sounded. “Why didn’t you discuss this with me?

    "For heaven’s sake, get a room!” Seeing Matthew and Lucy hold onto each other for an uncomfortably long time, Hudson felt utterly speechless.Matthew turned to gaze at him arrogantly before scoffing. While Lucy also felt speechless, she found the situation somewhat amusing deep down.“Alright, Matt, you should go now. I need to start work. See you tonight,” Lucy started urging Matthew to leave. Matthew reluctantly left, looking at Hudson and Lucy before departing.“Mrs. Leon, it seems like Mr. Leon is head over heels for you,” said Hudson, secretly envious of their relationship as he wondered when it would be his turn to experience this kind of love.Lucy smiled bashfully and replied, “I’m sure you’ll find someone, Mr. Xender.”With that, Hudson led Lucy to her office.“Can I call you Lucy?” Hudson asked as soon as they reached the door.Visibly taken aback by his question, Lucy replied, “Of course.”“Great.

    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
