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,”
These days, Lucy has been taking care of her pregnancy at her brother’s residence, and she was very happy every day. In the morning, she would wake up on a large, soft princess bed with the morning sun. At noon, she would enjoy a sumptuous and exquisite lunch. In the evening, she would leisurely drink afternoon tea by the huge pool near the garden while admiring the sunset. This was simply a fairy-tale life come to life! Lucy suddenly had a feeling that it was because of the inhumane days and unfair treatment she endured during the first 20 years of her life in the Quinn family that God was now compensating her by letting her live such a wonderful and comfortable life.Although her days were very leisurely, after a long time, Lucy felt a void in her heart. One day, the butler reminded her, “It seems like Mr. Leon hasn’t been here for a while, has he?”It was then that she realized she missed Matthew. Lucy originally wanted to take the initiative to call him but saw that the m
Lucy felt warm inside. As they embraced tightly, she asked, “How's the investigation into Spades and Charlotte going? I’ve asked my brother, but he’s always too busy to tell me.”“Charlotte is currently in a coma, so the investigation has been forcibly halted.” Matthew hesitated initially, unsure whether to tell her, fearing it might affect her pregnancy. However, after considering that this matter was related to Lucy, he decided to tell her the truth.“She was perfectly fine. How could she suddenly fall into a coma?” Lucy found it very strange. Although Charlotte had been pampered in the royal palace for over 20 years, she appeared to be very robust and should not collapse so easily. Unless she was using her old tricks to gain sympathy from her parents.“I went to plead with the king the day before yesterday, asking him to let me meet with Charlotte, but I was refused.”Lucy was puzzled. “You’re my husband. How could you be refused?”“Because I told the king everything about ho
Lucy opened the small clothes one by one. Inside, there were not only dresses but also pants, as well as toys for both genders. There were exquisite handicrafts as well."Why didn't you let the butler buy these things? Why did you have to go out and buy them yourself?" Lucy complained, looking at the blazing sun outside and feeling distressed.Matthew scratched his head and smiled. "I heard from the people here that if a baby wears clothes personally chosen by their father when they're born, they'll grow up healthy and strong.""It's still months away. The two little ones won't be here for at least another six months. We can buy the clothes then." Although Lucy seemed to be scolding him on the surface, she was very happy with his gesture in her heart."Ever since you got pregnant, it feels like time is passing so slowly. I can't wait to meet them," Matthew said softly, reaching out to touch Lucy's belly."They're growing well," Lucy felt very happy at this moment, thinking it woul
"In order to let my wife enjoy coffee in her hometown, I have to research this idea. Don't worry about it and just focus on your designs. The tasks of a lead designer are heavy enough," Matthew said.Lucy nodded. Then, without even picking up her cutlery, she grabbed a chicken leg with her hand and put it in her mouth. The delicious taste spread in her mouth.He continued, "Since you're pregnant, I instructed the chef to use less chili and seasonings. Try it." Matthew watched Lucy's adorable expression as he spoke with a smile. Matthew had shipped cuisine from thousands of miles away for Lucy, displaying his love for her.Lucy felt that she was the happiest person in the world at this moment. Not only was she cared for by her beloved man, but her loving brother was also by her side. In front of her was a pile of delicious food, and she had two adorable babies in her belly as companions.What more could one ask for?"Don't just watch me eat. Sit down and eat with me!" Lucy said t
Annabella pretended to walk over gracefully. Seeing this, a servant quickly handed her a pair of cutlery. Under Lucy's pained gaze, Annabella picked up a piece of chicken leg with her fork and began to eat it with great poise.However, after just a few bites, she started coughing violently, her face turning red from the coughing."What is this? Are you trying to choke me?" Annabella sputtered, struggling with the spiciness.Lucy, seeing her embarrassing state, covered her mouth to suppress her urge to laugh."Quick! Get me a glass of water! I'm going to choke to death!" Annabella fanned her mouth furiously, her tongue sticking out like a dog cooling off. The servant from before quickly brought her a glass of water, and Annabella took a large gulp. However, it still did not relieve the spiciness."Ugh, how can you eat such terrible food?" She continued coughing and then started complaining about the food she had just eaten.Lucy was naturally displeased to hear this. It was not as
Though Annabella had heard of Matthew's global fame as the world's richest man, in Charleston, royal bloodlines were still regarded more highly than businessmen. She could not challenge Lucy directly, so she took out her frustration on Matthew instead."Who allowed you to behave so presumptuously in my residence?"Theodore's voice suddenly boomed from the doorway, startling Annabella, who had just been acting imperiously."Prince Theodore, why are you here?" she said, patting her chest to calm herself. She had nearly lost her composure from the shock."This is my home. Why wouldn't I be here?" Theodore's handsome face was cold and stern, a stark contrast to his usual amiable demeanor in front of Lucy.Sensing the tense atmosphere, Annabella immediately put on a fawning smile. "Your Highness, your mother, the queen, invited me to visit you today, so I came at her invitation. I hope I haven't disturbed you."Lucy almost wanted to vomit at her words. Everyone here seemed to be a bet
