"Alright""Mr. Josiah, it's too awkward to chat out here. Let's go inside the café to talk. We've spent a lot of time getting ready to meet you this afternoon.'We even checked out lots of tips because you're so experienced. We wanted to make sure we took this seriously,' Charlie thought. Then, with his hands in his pockets, he headed into the café.Josiah seemed to have no choice but to follow, with the three trailing behind him into the café.Once the five of them were seated, the mood turned a bit tense.Josiah broke the silence first, saying, "Let's hear it. What did you want to talk about today? Just lay it all out now because I don't want to have to come back. I'm a busy man."After saying that, Josiah took a sip of his coffee.Hudson then said, "We just wanted to ask if you were the one who got Lacee out of jail today. However, we found out there's more to the story, more people pulling strings. So, we thought we'd ask everything now. "That way, we can all be open with

Feeling backed into a corner, Josiah raised his voice at the three of them, "I've said it a million times, I've got nothing to do with Lacee—end of story. Quit your wild guessing. "If you don't stop, I'm going to sue you for slander. I bet that means jail time, at least a couple of weeks, right?"Charlie could hardly keep from laughing. "If you're clueless about the law, just ask me about it. I'm a lawyer, and not just any lawyer, but someone at the top of my field. Don't worry about anything. If I were to get tough, you wouldn't stand a chance. "And just so you know, we asked Hudson on the way over whether to lock you up for a long stretch and let you out after you become an old man or just scare you a bit this time and let you off the hook. "I asked Hudson earlier, but now, I'm asking you. What's it going to be? Do you want to come out when you have a full head of white hair or enjoy your remaining days in peace? You don't have many left, after all."Charlie finished with a s

Josiah felt a shiver run down his back, and he could not stop shaking.He said to Hudson in a weak voice, "How could this be true? You've been with me since you were a kid. You know me, right? I'm not the type to do such things. I'm a gentleman, and I always keep my promises. I wouldn't do something so dishonest. "Someone must be spreading lies about me. You can't believe them. If you do, it means you don't trust me. Remember who was always there for you when you were little, who grew up with you, and who these strangers are."After speaking, Josiah shot a stern look at the other three, blaming them for leading Hudson down the wrong path."Enough! When will you stop making excuses? Don't think I don't know what you've done."Koven has told me everything, so what's your excuse now? I can't understand why it's so hard for you to admit it. You've done plenty of bad things behind my back, including the ones I helped you with. You've committed at least seven or eight crimes, and that'

Josiah's face went white as a sheet when he heard what Hudson said.He should never have come there today. It was like walking straight into a trap.If he had known that Hudson had so many people on his side, he would not have stepped foot in this mess, let alone meet them.He walked in looking sharp, but he was going to walk out with a whole lot of trouble."I won't pick either of those choices," Josiah spoke up when he saw no one else would. "Why should I have to pick, and who are you to corner me like this? None of you are cops. There's just one lawyer among you. What gives you the right? If you lay a hand on me, I'll sue for assault, and we'll see who comes out on top."After he said his piece, Josiah looked at the three people in front of him.Matthew let out a cold huff and said, "If you think we can't touch you, think again. I've got friends who are police captains, chiefs… you name it. If you don't believe me, go ahead and have a chat with them. I just have to tell them

Josiah heard what they said and shouted back, "I've told you, I won't pick either option. You're just dreaming if you think I'll go to prison. I'll make sure each of you pays for making me mad. You'll see what happens when you mess with me!" He glared at the four of them, his expression fierce as if he could see right through them. However, the four people did not care about his angry look. To them, Josiah was like a bird trapped in a cage, unable to fly away. They had everything under control. If Josiah thought he could change the situation, he would have to get their permission first. They mainly wanted to help Hudson break free from Josiah's tight grip. Josiah was clever and strict with Hudson. If Hudson did not get away from Josiah, he might never be able to do anything on his own, and it could even mess up their own plans. Just then, Charlie said to him, "I was being nice before. If you keep acting like you don't get it, we'll have to take you straight to the cops. Just so y

Josiah declared, "Listen up, even if I have to go to prison today, I'm going to make sure Lacee is happy for the rest of her life. I won't let your sneaky plans work out. If I have to, I'll do ten years behind bars. "But when I'm out, I'll be just as strong as ever, and we'll see who has the last laugh!"By then, Josiah had made peace with the idea. He would rather spend his years in a cell than put up with their insults. Once he was free, he would make them regret everything.Charlie chimed in, "Well, if you're set on this, there's nothing more to say. In ten years, you'll be nothing but an old man. What trouble could you possibly cause us? You might not even make it out of there. My advice? Keep your head down in jail. It's not just small-timers like you in there. There are some real tough characters. You know what I mean?"Charlie's smile was icy and chilling as he finished speaking.Josiah took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. Despite his brave words, fear was gnawing

After Josiah finished talking, he gave Hudson a long, meaningful look and smiled.He turned to the other four and said, "I'm sorry for how I acted when I first got here. I've thought it over, and I'm really thankful you're all here for Hudson. He's always been a bit timid, and maybe it's my fault for how I raised him. "That's probably why he doesn't talk to me much. But I've thought it over, and now, I think it's actually pretty great that you four are together. Each of you will be there to help Hudson through tough times, and that makes me feel better. "I've got to go now, but I hope you three will keep looking after my Hudson. That's my final wish, and I don't want anything else."Josiah noticed the confused looks on their faces and quickly added, "I'm not here to complain or ask for sympathy. Don't worry about it, I've decided to face up to the wrongs I've done—not just for Hudson's sake but for my own peace of mind. "I haven't been able to sleep well for years. I'm always d

Hudson looked at his uncle and said, "Don't worry. When you're out, you'll still be my uncle. I'm sorry for my part in all this, but you have to face the consequences of your actions."Even if I were to let you off the hook, I think you'd still feel guilty. Once you're out and older, I'll look after you for life, and we can pick up where we left off!"Josiah listened, tears streaming down his face as he cried softly."Hudson, my dear boy, I can't believe how much you've grown. You were just a little kid back then, always tagging along behind me. I'm sorry if I was too hard on you. Now, you go on and be brave, do your own thing. "With those three friends of yours, I know you'll be fine. Just promise me, Hudson, that you'll come to see me once in a while in prison, or I'll miss you terribly!"Hudson, goodbye!" With those final words, Josiah was escorted into the police car.Cingen Gordon walked over to Matthew and said, "Mr. Leon, we've taken him away. Is there anything else you n

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. She feared that Charlotte might seize any chance to harm the children, so she remained vigilant and meticulous, avoiding any lapses. In her eyes, Matthew Leon and the children represented her entire world, and she could not afford even the slightest mishap.One day, Gabriella Sharpe visited their home. She arrived as lively as ever, wearing impeccably applied makeup that included an expensive shade of lipstick. Her appearance radiated the elegance of a woman of high social standing, making her stand out among the people on the street.Lucy welcomed Gabriella warmly, treating her with utmost respect. It created an atmosphere of family harmony. Gabriella settled into a chair, savoring the fruit that Lucy offered her. She held Johnny closely, reluctant to part with him. She showered him with compliments and laughter."Mom, you seem to be in a great mood l

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
