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

"There's one more thing I'd like to report to you." Selena called out to the elderly man who was walking toward the door."Go ahead.""Matthew and his group are planning to go to Charleston the day after tomorrow to find Princess Charlotte. I want to go with them to monitor their movements closely."Daniel thought for a moment and then agreed, "Alright, I'll report this to the higher-ups. When you get to Charleston, don't check in with Alice right away. I'll inform you of any tasks as they come up.""Understood!" Selena lowered her head respectfully and watched him leave.After ensuring that Daniel was out of sight, Selena staggered to a blind spot in the surveillance. She let out a sigh as she stared blankly at the dazzling night view outside the window. The earlier conversation had made her break out in a cold sweat, soaking the shirt under her jacket. If she had shown even a hint of nervousness in front of Daniel, her lie would have been exposed.After a long while, she called

"To prevent Charlotte from taking advantage of our arrival in Charleston, we came secretly this time without reporting to the king and queen in advance," Koven and Selena were sitting by Lucy's bed. Koven started speaking when he saw Lucy wake up."Where's Matthew?" Upon waking up, Lucy habitually looked for Matthew.Koven answered, "He went alone to the palace to meet with the king and queen. The reason he didn't take you along is also because he's afraid Charlotte might harm you again."Selena continued from where Koven left off, "Rest assured, I investigated before coming here. Recently, Spades has been heavily occupied with matters in Archway District, and they have fewer people in Charleston. As long as you don't go out alone, everything should be fine."Lucy obediently nodded. Even though she was worried about Matthew, she fell asleep again.…At the main hall of Charleston's royal palace, a commotion could be heard."What?! Are you saying you brought Princess Velda here b

"Are you suggesting that you also suspect our Charlotte to be the mastermind behind the attacks on Velda?" Juliana asked."I don't think Matthew is the type to make things up. He came specifically to expose Charlotte. It's likely that the attacks on Velda are related to her," replied Arthur. Even though he was reluctant to believe Charlotte was the culprit, the repeated incidents of her harming Lucy made him suspicious.Juliana felt a jumble of thoughts in her head. If Charlotte truly had ties to Spades and intended to harm Lucy, she would be extremely ruthless."Sometimes, I wonder if bringing Velda back was a mistake," murmured Juliana, looking at the portrait of Charlotte hanging on the wall alongside the family portrait of Arthur, her, and their three children."How could it be? Velda is our true biological daughter, so sensible and considerate. After all the effort to reunite our family, why would you say such pessimistic words?" Arthur did not quite understand what Juliana

Upon seeing the reply, Charlotte was infuriated and threw her phone to the ground. The annual tax revenue from the county she managed amounted to only over a billion, and she had already paid a deposit of five billion to Spades in order to have Lucy assassinated. That sum represented her entire income accumulated over three years. Now, the other party was audaciously demanding additional payment, which was truly despicable! The phone hit the ground with a loud bang, catching the attention of Arthur and Juliana in the room."Who's there?" Arthur, fearing unknown assassins, protected Juliana, who was equally startled.Charlotte heard them and instinctively ran toward the corridor. The guards stationed outside saw a shadow rushing past and immediately gave chase.Although Charlotte ran as fast as she could, having lived a pampered life for many years, her speed was nowhere near that of professional guards. They soon caught up to her.The guards disregarded everything and used a bl

"Humph! If there's evidence, let him show it. Why would he sow discord behind my back?" Although Charlotte spoke confidently, she felt a bit guilty when she heard that Matthew had evidence."Yes, we shouldn't doubt Charlotte without proof. If Matthew really has evidence, why hasn't he presented it directly?" Juliana defended her from the side.Arthur was caught in a dilemma as both parties were dear to him. As the king, such internal conflict was the last thing he wanted to see.Suddenly, the door to the bedroom was violently pushed open. Theodore strode in with a look of fury in his deep eyes.The family of three was startled. As they were wondering what was going on, Charlotte saw her phone in her brother's hand, and her heart stopped."You still deny you're the culprit? Look at this!" Theodore walked to Charlotte, threw the phone at her feet, and said angrily.Damn it, she forgot her phone outside while being chased by the guards! Charlotte's facial features twisted with panic

Though furious, Arthur could not make up his mind about Charlotte's punishment. He pressed his lips tightly pressed together, torn with indecision.Charlotte, who had been standing with a flushed face and head down, suddenly lifted her stubborn head. Her lips were bitten red, almost bleeding.In a low voice, she said, "Since all of you think I'm the culprit, I might as well die."As soon as she finished, a twisted smile appeared on her face, followed by maniacal laughter.She abruptly stood up and rushed toward the nightstand, slamming her temple precisely against its sharp corner.After the horrifying sound, Charlotte's body slumped against the wall, her eyes starting to glaze over.Juliana's scream erupted. She rushed over, cradling Charlotte's head in her hands.A black hole was gouged out of her temple, and red blood spurted out like a small fountain, covering half her face.Neither Theodore nor Arthur expected Charlotte to be so impulsive, seeking death. They were both stu

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.

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
