Chelsea muttered something on the other end of the phone, but Lucy could not make out what she was saying nor did she want to know what she was saying.If she did not know what Chelsea was saying, she would not have to endure her best friend’s accusations.Without hesitation, she hung up the phone, afraid that Chelsea would nag at her again.Chelsea was furious when she heard the dial tone. It seems like that son of a bitch had a bad influence on Lucy. She did not even give her the chance to talk to her.When they met up, Chelsea was going to give Lucy an earful.Matthew, who was eating slowly, put down his cutlery when he saw Lucy hang up. “Are you done?”“I’m done.” Lucy nodded.“Who was it?” Matthew had a dangerous smile on his face.“Chelsea. She called to ask me to go shopping with her at Glory Mall. Is there a problem?” Lucy looked confused.Matthew held his forehead helplessly. She had been so busy with work recently that Matthew had been waiting for when she was free t

After looking for her for a long time, she was still nowhere to be seen. Lucy found it strange as Chelsea had always been a punctual person. Why was she not here yet?Speak of the devil, there she was. Lucy’s eyes lit up when she saw her. She was about to go up to her, but she suddenly stopped in her tracks.Chelsea was with a man who looked to be about 180cm tall. He was wearing a beige trench coat, and he gave off Golden Retriever energy.Lucy grew stiff. Uh-oh. Did Chelsea bring her boyfriend over to get revenge for her PDA with Matthew last time? Lucy was filled with instant regret. Why did she blindly agree to Chelsea’s request? If she had known, she would not have come shopping with her. Even if she could not escape, she would have brought Matthew along. She was put in an extremely awkward position right now.Lucy’s feet were rooted on the ground while Chelsea and the man stood affectionately together. Chelsea held a cup of coffee in her hand, and the man was adjusting her

Women were peculiar creatures. If they did not see their friends for three days, it felt like they had not seen them for three years. After Lucy and Chelsea were done gossiping about their boyfriends, they got closer again. Hand-in-hand, they went to get a facial together.On the way there, Lucy got a little curious. “Chelsea, tell me the truth. As someone who has been single since birth, how did you find yourself a boyfriend so soon? Don’t tell me you found him on the streets.”Chelsea rolled her eyes at her. “You’re the one who found your husband on the streets.”Lucy was embarrassed. She did indeed pick her husband up on the streets. She was just lucky enough to have picked up a diamond.“How did you meet your boyfriend, then?”Chelsea sighed. “We were college classmates. You don’t know him because you went abroad.“He has been pursuing me for a long time, but I never accepted him.”Lucy looked at Chelsea in shock. “No way. What were you thinking, turning down a man like him?

Once they entered the restaurant, Lucy took the menu and ordered, “A ribeye steak, please. And remove the peas and broccoli.”Lucy skillfully made a special request to remove all the things she did not want.Chelsea looked at her resignedly. She knew that Lucy would do this as soon as they came in.While Lucy went to the restroom after ordering, Chelsea called the waiter back and said, “Please choose a leaner cut and add all the vegetables the lady requested to be removed earlier.”It was the waiter’s first time encountering such demanding customers, but he maintained tip-top service and nodded. “Yes, Ma’am.”Chelsea looked around and saw that Lucy had not returned yet, so she told the waiter, “Can we switch to a more remote table? Somewhere away from others so that the lady won’t notice that her plate looks different. Otherwise, she’s going to kick up a fuss.”The waiter suppressed a smile when he realized that Chelsea was looking after the other customer, so he quickly led her

Lucy froze. Did she not ask to remove the vegetables just now?Why were these vegetables on the table? She stared blankly at the dishes in front of her, and every single one of them had despicable green stuff on them.Lucy swallowed the vegetables in her mouth and said to Chelsea, “Chelsea, these dishes…”Chelsea slowly added more vegetables to her plate. “I asked the waiter to serve them again because I knew that you were only going to eat the meat.”Lucy stuffed the vegetables in her mouth and pouted. “Why did you ask the waiter to serve them when you know that I won’t eat them?”Chelsea sighed resignedly. “Being picky about food isn’t good for your health. You should watch your diet. Go for leaner cuts next time.”Her words made Lucy feel guilty for eating foods she was not supposed to eat, though Chelsea was unaware.Chelsea would not be angry if she ate such foods once in a while, right?She shot a careful glance at Chelsea.Chelsea sensed Lucy's gaze. They had been frien

Chelsea pulled Lucy to the counter to pay the bill and stomped out of the restaurant.The waiter got worried. Was their service so bad that the customers were angry? Then, he remembered that he had done everything according to their request. He concluded that it was probably something else.Not knowing what the waiter behind her was thinking, Chelsea felt like she was about to explode with anger. She went to a secluded place and asked Lucy to sit down while she glared at her.“Lucy, you have some guts for hiding your medical condition from me and having such greasy foods. What makes you think you can eat steak?”Lucy knew that it was her fault. She shrunk back and stared at Chelsea with innocent, doe-like eyes so that she would go easy on her. “I was just craving it so badly. Besides, the doctor said that having it once in a while is fine.”Chelsea poked Lucy’s forehead with her finger. “Yeah, right. All you care about is food. You don’t even care about your health. Indulging in

”That’s all, Chelsea. That’s all that I’m hiding from you, so stop asking.”Lucy tugged at Chelsea’s arm and pouted.Chelsea shot her a look and sighed. “Fine, I won’t ask anymore. I’m not interested in hearing about your lovey-dovey daily life with your husband either.”Lucy smiled at Chelsea. “If you don’t want to hear it, I won’t talk about it. But I want to hear about your lovey-dovey life with your boyfriend.“Quick, you haven’t answered my questions about your boyfriend yet.”Chelsea looked at her speechlessly. “You’re so nosy. Do I have to tell you?”Lucy looked at her with puppy eyes. “Last time, you interrogated Matthew to find out about his background. Why can’t I ask you this? Tell me, tell me!"She kept acting childishly.Sighing, Chelsea pressed Lucy down. “Stop it.”Lucy followed her orders and stopped acting childishly.“I’ll tell you.”Chelsea started reminiscing. “He and I met in high school.”Lucy was shocked. “I was in the same high school as you. Why don

After deciding on a time and place to meet up with Matthew, Lucy hung up the phone.Chelsea waited for her to hang up before saying, “What? Is your husband worried? Does he want you to go back early?”Lucy looked like she was in despair. “I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t had time to spend with Matthew. I finally had a day off today, so he really wanted to go on a date with me. "Since I had already agreed to meet up with you, I had no choice but to promise him that we'd watch a movie tonight. I didn’t think…”Lucy looked up at the darkening sky.“You didn’t think that it was getting so late because you got carried away and forgot.”Chelsea finished her sentence for her, and Lucy nodded sadly. “He’s going to drive me crazy now.”Just then, Chelsea’s phone rang too.Lucy looked at Chelsea devilishly. “Chelsea, you'd better pick up. It might be your boyfriend calling.”Chelsea took out her phone disapprovingly. “No way… Don't jinx it.”As soon as she saw who called, Chels

As Gabriella examined the luxurious clothes, bags, shoes, and pants, she could not help but feel that Lucy was completely unappreciative of such treasures.

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
