Chapter 678

Author: Tang Eighteen
"Although you're right, we still have to fight this battle that needs to be fought. We can't always let the enemy succeed. We can't keep taking a step back like this." Charlie sighed.

He understood that Matthew was a father now. He felt that if he were a father too, he would work hard for the sake of his wife and children. He could not always stay in place or retreat. This would only make the enemy think that he was weak.

"When will the notice be released?" Matthew finally thought of it. Since the evidence had been submitted, when would the news of the decision be released?

"According to normal procedures, the results will be out in five days. Let's wait a little longer."

"Isn't that a little too slow? We still have to go to Charleston. We can't wait any longer. I planned to go to Charleston the day after tomorrow since the fashion show is tonight. What should we do?" Matthew could not control this matter.

"Do you think we should settle the Sunrise Group matter first before going

    After Charlie followed Matthew in, he saw more than ten older people sitting at the table in the meeting room.He had always thought that the shareholders of Matthew's company were relatively young, but he did not expect them to be rather old.However, he did not dare to say anything. After Matthew sat down, he took the seat beside him and did not say a word. He looked at everyone's expressions."Mr. Leon, why did you bring a stranger into this meeting? This isn't appropriate, right?"Every meeting is important to the company. It's not good to let an outsider participate," a man to Matthew's left said.The others began to agree."That's right, Mr. Leon. Since the establishment of the company, didn't you say that outsiders wouldn't be allowed in meetings as they might leak company secrets?" “That’s right. This is too unreasonable. Although you’re still young and there are many things you can’t do properly, you can't do this.""Mr. Leon, if you want this meeting to continue, the

    Charlie nudged Matthew.After Matthew was nudged, he raised his head and looked at Charlie with a frown, not understanding what he meant. Charlie whispered into his ear, "You only need to question the third man from your left to stay. The rest can leave."Listening to his words, he turned his head to look in the direction specified. Matthew looked at Charlie in a daze."It's impossible that it's him. He's been with the company for a long time. How could he do such a thing? Moreover, he's in charge of many projects…" Just as Matthew spoke, he suddenly thought of something. Yes, almost all the projects had passed through this man's hands before they were handed over to Sunrise Group. This matter was definitely related to him.Charlie nodded at him and returned to his seat."Alright, everyone. Stop arguing. Everyone may leave. Only Director Conrad has to stay." Matthew stood up and said to everyone.At this moment, the room was silent. Everyone was afraid of angering the scary M

    If it really was not Willis, why was he so nervous when he spoke? If it really was not him, he should be sitting here calmly instead of looking so nervous."Mr. Leon, please believe me. I've been with you since you took over the company. How could I do such a thing? Mr. Leon, please believe me. I really didn't do it, but I know who's the mastermind behind the scenes. I'll tell you everything!" The sweat on Willis' forehead began to flow down his face and drip onto the ground. He was finally forced to say what he did.After hearing this, Charlie and Matthew immediately became nervous while waiting for Willis to continue. It was because it seemed that this matter was not done by one person. It was possible that there were multiple spies in the company. This had become an urgent situation. If these spies could not be weeded out, then Matthew's company would face big trouble. "Tell us who else you know everything. This matter is very important. If you don't want to be punished by t

    "It seems necessary to look into Noah. If Noah is suspicious, we have to interrogate him immediately. Otherwise, things will go wrong. Noah seems to be a very smart person." Charlie tapped his fingers on the table.Not only did Noah appear dangerous from his appearance, but Charlie also thought that Noah was not a good person. Now that he was involved in this matter, they had to solve the problem immediately and leave no future troubles. "I think so too, but Noah is difficult to handle. His influence on the other major directors and shareholders is significant. It's very likely that they'll unite and rebel." Matthew rubbed his temples after saying this.At this moment, Charlie smiled and said, "I'm suddenly reminded of ancient times. Back then, kings would worry that their ministers would rebel, so they'd plot in secret while the ministers were also coming up with plots of their own. It's just like you and your shareholders." Charlie had just finished saying this when Matthew's e

    Charlie pushed up his glasses and said to Matthew proudly, "The judge and I are good friends. I'll get him to work on it quickly. Let's try to get the results within three days. If the results are out within three days, then we'll leave after that. If the results will take five days, then we can only leave after that."After Charlie finished speaking, he stood up."Where are you going?" Matthew looked at Charlie standing up. He did not know what he wanted to do."Of course, I'm going to eat. I was busy all afternoon waiting for those notices and other things. You haven't even treated me to a meal until now, and you even made me sit in on the meeting. Now that everything has been done, shouldn't you treat me to a meal? Are you that stingy? I'm almost starving here!" Charlie finished all his complaints in one breath and then looked at Matthew.Matthew had no choice but to get up and take Charlie to the restaurant downstairs. …"The steak in this restaurant is delicious.

    Lucy noticed that their phones had rung at the same time. Not knowing what the situation was, she asked them, "What's going on?" "Something happened!" Hudson said and then looked at Koven, consciously asking if the message he received was the same as what he received.Koven saw his expression and figured that they had received the same message. He asked Hudson, "You also received a message from the Hype and Elegance Fashion Show?" "Yes, you too?"Koven fell silent at this time.Lucy looked at the two of them and did not know what was going on, but she felt that something bad had happened. She immediately asked, "What happened? You two look off."Hudson and Koven looked at each other. Then, Hudson said, "The Hype and Elegance Fashion Show sent a message saying that you plagiarized your design."Lucy's eyes widened when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "That's impossible. During this period, I've been working on the design in the company. I've never taken my work home or

    "The most important thing is that Lacee is already famous in the design circle. Even if you say that Lacee stole your work, others won't believe you. They'll only think that you're a small-time designer trying to frame Lacee. This matter isn't simple, so let's go over and solve it quickly." After saying this, Koven began to have a headache.When he first met Lacee, he had already felt that she was not a good person. Unexpectedly, something really wrong. He really did not think it through at the time."I don't think that's possible. Lacee has only entered my office a few times, and I was always there whenever she came in. She had no chance of sneaking in! Also, I usually leave later than her. I don't think it was likely that she returned to the company at a later time to break into my office and steal my work either." Lucy still could not believe that Lacee was the one who did it. For some reason, she felt that her memory had declined since getting pregnant. Many things had become

    "She's attacking me right to my face. Don't you think she's going too far?" Lacee exposed her true nature in front of Lucy. At this moment, she was still pretending to be pitiful and letting others pity her.At this time, the woman standing next to Lacee came over and pushed Lucy. Lucy lost her balance and fell backward. Fortunately, Hudson and Koven reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward to support Lucy."Lucy, are you okay?""Do you need to go to the hospital?"Hudson and Koven spoke one after another. After all, this push might cost them both their lives, and this place was too chaotic. The people around Lacee believed her. Besides, it was not easy to be a new designer. All of them would experience such things at the beginning."I'm fine." Lucy saw Lacee sitting on a chair. She was so angry that she did not know where to vent. It was obviously Lacee who plagiarized her work, but she did not expect to be bitten by her instead. This made her very distressed."You sh

    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
