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

"But this time, I feel like Charlotte is really determined to die. My mother is particularly soft-hearted, so this matter is very tricky," Theodore said, visibly distressed.Matthew pressed his lips together and then said solemnly, "I never wanted her to atone for her sins by death. The reason I rushed over was just to stop Charlotte from hurting Lucy again."Koven nodded in agreement. "After all, these things were done by Spades. Our main goal here is to wipe out their headquarters."Selena also spoke up, "If we can eradicate Spades in Charleston this time, I won't have to live in constant fear like before.""We'll discuss everything after Charlotte wakes up. My mom and dad are extremely worried right now and probably can't help you. Without the royal army's support, it would be difficult to confront Spades head-on. "Besides, with Charlotte injured, she won't be able to contact Spades. Lucy Quinn will be safe for a few days."Theodore explained to Matthew, who pondered for a m

A killer never shows mercy. To achieve the mission's goal, any insignificant person can be sacrificed at any time. This had always been the principle of the organization and something every assassin had to be mentally prepared for. Ruthless and relentless, with no way out.Linus knew he could not convince him after hearing this. He quietly pursed his lips, his expression darkening.Daniel saw his demeanor and softened his tone a little. "Linus, as long as you follow me and do your job well, I'll ensure you achieve supreme glory and status.""You know that's not what I want," he said calmly."But without it, you'll have no place to rest in peace," Daniel said in a very kind tone, revealing the cruelest truth. His deep and unfathomable thoughts were hard to discern.Linus frowned slightly and finally accepted this result. "Alright then. Leave Charleston to Selena. I'll head back now. You should rest early.""Wait," the old man called him from behind. "I have a special task for you.

This was just as Matthew and the others had said—Daniel indeed planned to overthrow Alice and take over as the new leader of Spades. However, Linus never expected that he would resort to such a brutal and direct method to deal with Alice, involving even the other veterans in the company in Alice's demise. No matter what, Alice was the only biological son of the previous leader! Daniel had clearly promised the former leader beforeman his death that he would nurture Alice well and ensure his safety at all costs. Had greed and ambition swelled in his heart to such a terrifying extent?"Linus, are you listening to me?" Daniel's voice gradually became clearer in his ears."Yes, do you have any other instructions?" Linus snapped out of his thoughts and replied."No. This task is very simple, and the success rate is very high. As long as we work together, this organization will sooner or later be ours!" Daniel's tone was filled with confidence, as if success was within his grasp. "At

Theodore did not want to marry a virtuous and beautiful trophy wife. Lucy seemed to read his and did not mention the topic again. She brought out her packed suitcase from the room and followed Theodore into the car.To pick up Lucy, Theodore had specially driven a bulletproof military vehicle, with over ten heavily armed guards in tactical gear sitting in the front and back. As the car passed through the crowd, people recognized the prince's car and gathered around, curious to catch a glimpse of Princess Velda and Prince Theodore.Due to the heavy traffic, the journey that was supposed to take half an hour ended up taking two hours. This was Lucy's first time visiting her brother's mansion, and its level of luxury was on par with, if not surpassing, the villa of Matthew Leon and hers. It was comparable even to the royal palace.Lucy roughly counted and saw three layers of guards surrounding the villa. That was nearly 2,000 people, almost forming a cavalry regiment. This was a specia

“He didn't flat-out reject me. He just said I must provide evidence before he'll let me meet Princess Charlotte.”Upon hearing this, Koven's face lit up with a spark of inspiration.“Why didn't you say so earlier? I almost forgot about this.” With that, under Matthew's surprised gaze, he dashed upstairs.Moments later, he came back down the hallway, holding a small metallic object. He placed it on the table.“What is this?” Matthew asked curiously.“You're a CEO, and you don't know what this is? It's a voice recorder,” Koven said, looking at him incredulously. He continued, “When we went to see Alice that day, I brought this along and recorded our entire conversation.”Matthew's expression turned from confusion to delight, and he beamed with joy. “Fantastic, Koven! You're amazing.”“With this recording as irrefutable evidence, the king definitely won't doubt you anymore,” Koven said proudly.“It's fortunate that I brought you along on this trip. You've been a tremendous help,”

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
