"Sometimes, maybe we're the ones trapping ourselves in a dead end. Linus, we're still young, yet we're engaged in these dirty and sordid activities at the prime of our lives. Will this kind of life continue into our later years? Don't you really want to strive and resist?" Selena's words indeed struck a chord in Linus' heart, leaving him momentarily moved. However, he still firmly shook his head. "Selena, you don't need to persuade me. Someone like me, without a heart, can only live day by day no matter where I am.""Moreover, over these years, I've killed so many people and made so many enemies. They're all waiting for the right moment to kill me in revenge. Even if I have the ability to leave the organization, without their protection, do you think I could make it out alive?"Linus's questioning left her speechless.Indeed, Selena had not been with the organization as long as Linus, and her reputation was not as widespread. Perhaps she still had a chance to escape and live inc

Just as their lips were about to touch, his phone vibrated in his pocket."Hey, Matthew. Have you and Lucy arrived home?""Speak quickly, I'm busy!" Matthew suppressed his impatience, his voice deep and heavy."Well, I might not be able to make it to Charleston with you as planned. Earlier, I mentioned that there might not be anything important going on at my company these days."Well, it's not a company matter. It's just that Chelsea's parents suddenly came to our house to see her. They seem to want to stay for a while before leaving."Hugh could tell the other party's mood was not great, so he kindly explained, "So, Chelsea might not be able to accompany Lucy to Charleston.""Okay, I got it. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up." Matthew finished speaking and hung up.As soon as the screen locked, the phone vibrated again.This time, it was a call from Charlie."Hey, I need to tell you something. Hudson and I won't be able to accompany you to Charleston the day after tomorr

Matthew was meticulous about every detail of life, always wanting his beloved to receive the best care. After a week of getting to know each other, Lucy was very satisfied with Nara's work. The two got along very well.“Alright, I'll be right there,” she responded sweetly, walking over to the dining table and sitting down.“This is a special jelly from my hometown. It's not only good for pregnant women, but it also has skin-nourishing benefits,” Nara said with a beaming smile.Lucy remembered that Nara had mentioned her hometown was known for their special jelly. She took a bite, and it was indeed delicious, with a smooth texture that even high-end Michelin restaurants could not match.She quickly finished the entire thing but still felt hungry, longing for the crispy shrimp Nara had been making for her every day over the past few days.“Nara, is there any of yesterday morning’s crispy shrimp left in the fridge?” Lucy asked as she looked at Nara, who was washing dishes in the kitc

Watching Lucy sulk and her adorable appearance, Matthew's smile deepened. "How could I possibly think you're fat? Eat more. It's good for our baby." With that, he picked a few shrimp from the plate and put them on her plate."Hmph, you clearly do think I'm fat. Stop making excuses!" Lucy seemed genuinely upset, sounding like a petulant child as she turned away from Matthew."Alright, my dear, I'm sorry. I won't dare say you've gained weight again." Matthew took Lucy's hand, looking at her imploringly like a big dog seeking forgiveness from its owner.If not witnessed firsthand by Nara nearby, no one would imagine that Matthew, the CEO of the ruthless Leon Corporation who usually conducted business with an icy demeanor, would go the extra mile to please another person.Lucy felt the gaze from the kitchen and sent a glance to Matthew, who was staring blankly at her. He immediately returned to his usual demeanor, awkwardly pretending to cough."Eat up." Lucy stifled a smile and gave

"Pah! Even if I can't get a wife in this lifetime, I would never end up with this guy," Charlie rejected with disdain, just moments after gazing 'affectionately' at Hudson."What nonsense! It's not like I want to be with you either," Hudson shot back without hesitation.Matthew watched this fiery exchange and could not help but stifle a laugh."Even if we're not going along, Hugh and his wife can accompany you to Charleston," Hudson said, looking at Matthew standing beside him. "By the way, where are they now? Why didn't they come over with you guys? Doesn't Chelsea always stick to Lucy?""They can't come with us either. Hugh said that Chelsea's parents came to visit them and are planning to stay for a while," Matthew shook his head.Hudson sighed with concern, looking at Matthew and Lucy as if he was worried about them."It takes a long time to recover from a serious injury, so just focus on getting better. Don't worry about us going to Charleston," Matthew reassured him.Sudde

Lucy’s eyes widened in fear. “I remember the first night Nora stayed at our house. I woke up in the middle of the night and heard the sound of bottles breaking from her room. Curious, I went to check it out.”She suddenly paused while recalling her memories. Matthew urged, “Go on, what happened next?”“I went in and saw broken porcelain pieces on the floor, scattered with piles of dust. Nora was frantically trying to clean it up with a cloth.“When she saw me, she seemed startled, and her whole body trembled. I asked if she needed a mop to help clean up, but she just kept apologizing.”“Do you remember the color of the dust on the floor?” the doctor asked.“It was late at night, and the light was dim, so I couldn't see clearly,” Lucy thought for a moment. “It seemed to be dark red or brown, like chili powder.”“That’s it. It must be cinnabar containing mercury. She probably mixed it into your food,” the doctor concluded.“I can't believe there's a problem with the person I hired

Matthew gripped Lucy’s hand, feeling deeply unsettled.“Is it someone from Spades? Did they send others to harm our child?” Lucy's emotions suddenly escalated as she stared blankly at Matthew.This statement reminded him that this indeed seemed like something people from Spades would do.Matthew immediately called Koven, wanting him to help investigate this matter.“Hey, I need you to check on someone.”“Who?” Koven answered, his tone sounding drowsy and lazy.“Nora Smith. Check if she’s from Spades.” Matthew gritted his teeth as he said the housekeeper's full name and then hung up. He clenched his fists tightly, vowing to make everyone who wanted to harm Lucy pay a heavy price.“I got the information!”When Lucy and Matthew returned home, Koven called back.“She's 36 years old, living in Archway District, near DS Group. Before working at your house, she had been tracking Lucy’s movements.”As expected, Nora was indeed from Spades.Matthew could hardly contain his anger, wan

Matthew finally turned his gaze toward Lucy, who was curled up on the couch. He realized that his earlier behavior must have scared her. He walked over and gently hugged her. Neither of them spoke.After a while, Lucy's soft voice came from behind the pillow. "Matthew, I want to go home. I don’t want to stay here anymore."Matthew’s hand continuously patted Lucy's back, like soothing a child to sleep. His tone was extraordinarily gentle, a stark contrast to his earlier violent demeanor in front of Nora."Okay, we'll go back tomorrow. I'll accompany you back to your parents' place, alright?""Mm." Lucy nodded. She resembled an injured fawn leaning her head into Matthew's familiar embrace.…The office on the top floor of DS Group was spacious and quiet. The night view of the brightly lit city could be seen through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows."Selena, when they called you for a talk that day, they should have already discovered your true identity, right?" Daniel leaned ba

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
