"So, what do we do now? Since the truth is out, should we go talk to Lacee?" Lucy asked."We can't just go talk to Lacee now. We've done our homework, and if we confront her now, she'll just keep denying everything. We don't have any solid proof because we don't have any surveillance footage. It's not like we're just gonna bring the guy over and have him confess in front of Lacy, right?" Koven explained.Hudson looked a bit taken aback and then asked, "Why not just bring the guy to Lacee? If we have him point her out in front of everyone, wouldn't that solve the problem? Why overcomplicate things?"Koven could not help but worry about Lucy's and Hudson's critical thinking."Guys, think about it, will you? There's no sign of Lacee on the surveillance footage, so what good would it do to drag Stephen in front of them and have him accuse her? Plus, if Lacee says we made it all up, everyone will believe her over us. "Use your heads, guys," Koven said, shooting Hudson a look of frustr

Lucy heard him and quickly hopped along behind him.Hudson watched the two with a shake of his head, not sure what else to do.…Once they got to Lucy's apartment building, Hudson and Koven stayed in the car while Lucy dashed upstairs to get the necklace.Koven was surprised to see Lucy come back with a box so big he blurted out, "Are you sure that's a box for a necklace and not for shoes?"Lucy rolled her eyes at him and said, "Ever seen a shoe box this pretty, this fancy, this upscale? This box was made just for this necklace, and it's as special as the necklace itself.""Let me see the necklace, then!" Koven said.Lucy passed the box to him, and when he opened it, his eyes nearly popped out of his head. Was this how rich people were?"Wow, this necklace is stunning! No wonder it's one-of-a-kind. I get why you'd copy this one. It's absolutely beautiful. I'd fall for it too if it were mine. It's crazy, Lucy! Why don't you wear it more often when it's this gorgeous?" Koven gaze

"Come on, it's time to get some answers. If we wait any longer, we'll miss our chance at the Hype and Elegance Fashion Show," Koven said before stepping out of the car.Lucy, with a big box in her arms, and Hudson, following close behind, headed for the venue's entrance.Lacee turned and saw the three at the entrance. She was completely caught off guard. A shiver shot up her spine, her face scrunched up in worry, and her hands would not stop shaking.She knew she had to face whatever was coming. She would just take it one step at a time.Right then, there was a knock at the door.Lacee inhaled deeply, plastered on a fake smile, and faced the door where Lucy, Hudson, and Koven stood."Can I help you with something? If not, please leave. I need to rest," Lacee said emotionlessly.However, Koven did not say a word. He just walked in, sat down, and stared at Lacee. "I'm really curious. Do you want to know what we've found out?" he asked and watched her closely, waiting for her to re

"What are you trying to say? You think I'd lie to you?" Lacee was sweating from nerves as she looked at Koven.Koven stared back calmly. "Don't you understand what I'm saying? If your necklace means so much, then tell us about it. Hudson, Lucy, and all the designers are here, ready to listen. Let's hear what you've got to say."Hudson spoke up when she did not respond right away, "Lacee, I've given you a chance. I hope you'll do the right thing. If you made a mistake, admit it now. If not, then please tell us the truth about what happened."Lacee's face turned ashen when she heard that. Her legs shook, and cold sweat appeared on her forehead."I would never plagiarize. That necklace was just an inspiration I happened upon. Don't accuse an innocent person!" Lacee was determined and ignored their words."If you're not ready to talk, let's give Lucy a chance to speak up. Everyone, what do you think?" Koven noticed the eager looks on the faces around him. These people were ready for s

"This necklace was custom-made by my mother and given to me as a gift. It's one-of-a-kind because the designer has passed away. It's a haute couture piece that was never publicly revealed. "After my mother had it made, she gave it to me directly. No one else knows about it because of its unique design."I was at home that day, thinking about what my outfit was missing, when I spotted this necklace. That's why I decided to use it as a waist chain."Just as Lucy was about to continue speaking, Lacee interrupted her. "That necklace set should be with me! It's obviously mine!" Lacee blurted out, wanting to say that Lucy had stolen the necklace from her own house. She did not realize that Koven and Hudson were in on the truth.Koven was quick to set the record straight."Lacee, could you at least think before you lie? Hudson and I were with Lucy when she picked up this necklace from her house."As Koven's words hung in the air, everyone turned to stare at Lacee, their eyes wide wit

"Lucy, are you feeling any better?" asked Selena Carden, the junior designer. Her concern for Lucy was evident. Lucy was in so much pain she could hardly bear it, and sweat-drenched her forehead. As they were stuck in traffic, Hudson could not help but complain loudly. Suddenly, he spotted a police car and pulled over quickly. "Officer, we have a pregnant woman in the car who's had an accident. Can you help us get through? Please hurry!" Hudson pleaded. The officer did not hesitate and turned on the siren, leading the way to the hospital. Koven, from the front passenger seat, made a quick call to Matthew.…Charlie and Matthew were lounging on the office couch, each lost in the games on their phones. When his phone rang, Matthew thought Koven was calling him to attend Lucy's big fashion show. However, after picking up, Matthew heard Koven's panicked and hurried voice. He knew instantly something was wrong."Matthew, get to Vista General Hospital fast!" Koven's voice was so

A doctor came out and pulled down his mask."Who's the patient's family member?"Hearing that, Matthew stepped forward and said, "I'm her husband. How is she doing?"The doctor saw how worried he looked and let out a sigh. "Your wife and child are both fine. She had a little bleeding from the fall, but she's better now. She'll be back on her feet in two or three days. Don't worry!" he said gently.With that, the doctor left. A bunch of people were about to hurry in to check on Lucy, but a nurse stopped them. "Only her husband can go in for now. Lucy needs her rest, and too many visitors might wake her. One at a time, please." Matthew nodded and went inside. Hudson and Koven were concerned, but since Matthew was with her, they stayed back. That was when Koven noticed Selena standing alone in a corner. Koven walked over to her. "Hey, don't beat yourself up. None of this is your fault. It's all Lacee." Selena looked up at Koven and gave a small nod. "I never thought Lacee wo

Selena immediately said loudly, "I don't like you. Don't be narcissistic, okay?"Koven was frightened by her strong rebuttal.When he first saw Selena, he thought she would be a very gentle and quiet girl, but he did not her to be so rough."Can't you be a little gentler? What's with your brute tone?"Selena rolled up her sleeves and looked at him. "If you don't want to be beaten, just eat your food and stop being so annoying."And this is what I'm usually like. It's just that I feel guilty now, so I might be acting a little differently. But it doesn't mean that I'm gentle and quiet all the time, okay?"Koven laughed out loud when he heard this.Selena wanted to stick a fork into his eyes when she saw him laughing like this, but she held back.…"Lulu, you must wake up quickly!" Matthew held Lucy's hand tightly. His heart was broken when he saw Lucy lying unconscious on the bed inside the ward."Lulu, you must get up. I swear that I'll protect you well in the future and won't

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
