Chapter 711

Author: Tang Eighteen
Koven's words just now revealed a sense of maturity and confidence. He thought that the three of them would definitely allow him to stay while they went to Charleston to look for Charlotte, but things did not turn out as expected.

"You don't need to go to Charleston. You, Selena, Chelsea, and Hugh can stay behind to protect Lucy. The three of us will go," Hudson said slowly, breaking the silence.

"Do I really not need to go? Don't you need me? If you're going to Charleston, you'll definitely need to investigate things. What if you need me?" Koven became nervous the moment they mentioned not bringing him along.

At this point, Matthew, who had been silent, finally spoke up. He looked into Koven's eyes and said, "Koven, I think it's better for you to stay with Lucy. Originally, we intended to take you with us, but someone has to stay with Lucy.

"Moreover, your task is even more significant than what we'll be doing in Charleston—taking care of Lucy. The four of us definitely shouldn'

    "Alright, so when are you guys planning to leave? Time waits for no one. The sooner you go, the sooner you'll be back. That'll be for the best," Koven sighed deeply as he spoke to the three of them."I think we can wait until Lucy is feeling better and set off the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, let's pack our things and handle our work. That would be best," Hudson said and then looked at the other three."Alright, let's leave the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, we'll handle our affairs here. I'll go back in the afternoon and tell Lucy that I'll be going on a business trip," Matthew said, glancing at Hudson and Charlie."I'm fine with that. I don't mind. After all, I don't currently have any cases on hand, so I have some free time," Charlie said.Hudson said, "I don't have much going on either. With Koven and Lucy at the company, I can be at ease. Now that Lacee's trouble has been resolved, no one will be causing trouble at the company. I should have everything settled by tomorrow. The

    After Lucy finished speaking, she looked at Selena.Selena felt conflicted upon hearing their conversation. She did not know whether she should bravely express her feelings or wait for Koven to confess to her. After all, would it be too abrupt for a woman to tell a guy she liked him? Which woman did not dream of a love story starting with a bouquet of flowers? She was no different.Back then, she got together with a guy at his lowest point and stayed with him for five years. She worked two jobs to support him throughout those years, only for him to suddenly tell her one day that he did not like her anymore. What could she do about it? She had no choice but to end the relationship. After that, she no longer dared to guess a man's thoughts. It was just too exhausting.Selena was just about to speak when she heard a very familiar voice. She turned to look."Selena?"Upon hearing the voice, Selena turned around, and her expression froze completely."Linus Gusman?"Lucy was about

    “Are you two…” Lucy pointed at them, unable to believe it. Could such a dramatic scene really happen in real life?Before Selena could speak, Linus interrupted, “It was Selena who helped me get to where I am now, but unfortunately, I couldn’t protect her. I’m really sorry, Selena.” Linus then looked up at Selena.Yes, if it were not for Selena back then, none of this would have happened.He chose Selena at the time because she looked very much like the girl from his childhood with her haircut and glasses...However, he never had any strong feelings for Selena.Even now, he did not feel much for her.“No need to thank me. We parted ways amicably, and we’re both doing well now. I’m content with that.” Selena’s eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.Lucy and Chelsea, having never experienced such things, did not know what to say and remained silent on the side.“Lucy, how are you doing now?” Linus asked with concern.Lucy, still in shock, hurriedly replied, “I’m much better now.

    "Matthew!"Lucy watched as Matthew's veins bulged in anger. A sense of panic arose within her.Linus was punched by Matthew and fell against the edge of a nearby table. Clutching his abdomen, he collapsed to the floor.At this moment, Matthew, with his eyes filled with fury, angrily said to Linus, "I warned you before not to come near to Lucy. And now, you dare to do this right in front of me!"Lucy quickly waved her hands and said, "Matthew, you misunderstood. It's not like that at all. Linus saw I was uncomfortable in my position, so he was just helping me adjust the bed a bit.""Lucy, why are you always getting into arguments with me over someone like him? I’ve told you many times that he's no good. Why don't you listen? You always take his side. What am I supposed to think?" Matthew said when he saw Lucy defending Linus, overcome with jealousy.At this moment, Koven spoke up."Lucy, I advise you to stay away from Linus. He's not a good person. Trust me. Charlie, Hudson, and

    "Is this true?" Selena cautiously glanced at Linus on the ground and then turned her head toward Koven.Koven sighed, realizing he could not hide the truth any longer. He had to explain to Selena and Lucy, "Earlier, Matthew told me that Linus was a dangerous person. I didn’t believe it at first, so I checked him out on the Mermaid Network. "What I found was shocking. He was an assassin for Spades a long time ago and was involved in three major infamous incidents worldwide. One of the biggest cases was the assassination of a president."Although he has distanced himself from Spades to avoid retaliation, he still works for them. None of us knows what mission he's currently undertaking!"Lucy, hearing this, looked at Matthew. Matthew sighed deeply, feeling helpless.At this moment, Selena had tears welling up in her eyes as she turned to Linus and asked, "Is this true? I want to hear it from you."Linus wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, nodded, and said, "Selena, I’m re

    At this moment, a glimmer of excitement sparked in Lucy's and Chelsea's eyes. They seemed to have forgotten all the previous events. Matthew noticed Lucy's envious look, moved closer, and whispered in her ear, "Are you really envious of them? Do you want me to give you another grand wedding?"Lucy immediately blushed upon hearing this. The first time she married Matthew was quite hasty, although he did give her a beautiful wedding."Come on, stop joking. We're an old married couple now. What more romance could we possibly need? We even have a child on the way. What more do you want?" Lucy lowered her head, thinking about what Matthew had just said.Matthew touched her face gently and whispered, "As long as you want it, I can give it to you anytime. And I promise I'll never let you get hurt in this lifetime."Lucy turned to look at Selena and Koven, then turned back and asked, "Is it true that Linus is part of Spades? Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me the truth ea

    When Lucy spoke, she began to cry. She really did not expect Linus to make her fall to this state.She only realized now that Linus was the boy from her childhood.Matthew's heart ached when he heard this, wondering what would have happened if Lucy had reunited with Linus before meeting him. Would he and Lucy be strangers? Matthew looked at Lucy with worry in his eyes. "Lucy, if Linus had found his way into your life before me, would you have gotten together with him instead of me?"He asked this with great pain in his heart, and his tone was low. He was eager to get Lucy's answer.Lucy looked at him and said, "No, I've always regarded Linus as a good friend.We played together often when we were kids. Meanwhile, the fate between you and me is something that can't be snatched by anyone."We're both already married now. Even though Linus knew me before you did, that won't change our relationship or our future."Matthew finally relaxed when he heard this and nodded.Chelsea shoo

    Selena heard this and lowered her head, whispering, "I think we should wait a bit longer. After all, neither of us really knows much about each other. I want to understand each other better before we get together. "If we're really going to be in a relationship, it should be with marriage in mind. I'm at the age to get married now..."Koven was overjoyed when he heard the word 'marriage'. He wanted to marry Selena the first time he saw her. He did not expect Selena to bring up marriage now."I'll give you a wedding!" Koven said, holding Selena's hand.Before Selena could speak, she was kissed by something soft."Koven is so bold!"Chelsea saw Koven pull Selena into his arms and kiss her. She could not help but smile as she watched the two of them.Selena was directly caught off guard by Koven's move and did not know what to do. Should she push him away or not? However, she did not seem to want to push him away.Could it be that she really liked Koven?How could that be possibl

    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
