Chapter 837

Author: Tang Eighteen
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

    Perhaps because they were back in their homeland, Koven did not want to be apart from his girlfriend. After his shower, he quietly snuck into Selena's room. Selena was currently in the shower and did not hear any commotion outside, happily humming a tune in the bathroom. When she came out wrapped in a towel, she was startled to see Koven sitting on the bed.“Why aren’t you in your own room? What are you doing here?” Selena asked warily. Though she had accepted Koven's feelings, they had never been alone together in a room like this before. Besides, when she was with Linus back in the day, she had remained chaste, and nothing had happened between them.“I just don’t want to be away from you,” Koven, who had shed his masculine bravado, pouted childishly, pleading with Selena. “Can we sleep together tonight? I promise I’ll just hold you and do nothing else!” he pledged earnestly.“No!” Selena hesitated inwardly but firmly refused outwardly. Feeling that her outright refusal was too

    Selena saw the message and felt a wave of excitement at the thought of finally escaping the control of Spades and being openly together with Koven.[I've been living all these years under the organization's orders and surveillance. If your friend can really remove the bug, that would be great. I don't want to be sneaky about our relationship anymore.]She sent the message, and just as she looked up, Koven was standing in front of her.The atmosphere suddenly became very delicate, and the two of them continued to look at each other. Selena mouthed to Koven to leave, but before she could finish, Koven pulled her into his arms and kissed her red lips.Selena's heart fluttered. She did not know where to place her hands, and her face flushed to her ears. Koven stopped to look at the blushing Selena in his arms while breathing heavily. Right at that moment, Selena's phone fell to the ground with a loud noise.At this moment, the two seemed unable to stop. Selena touched Koven's delicate

    In the hall, Matthew greeted Arthur, who was accompanied by Juliana. She was feeding Charlotte while also greeting them. Charlotte's complexion was noticeably poor, her lips bloodless. As she took her medicine, she scrutinized Matthew and Koven with a mix of fear and a touch of defiant arrogance. She thought to herself that since she was sick, there was nothing they could do."Your Majesty, Your Highnesses, we have something to report," Matthew bowed and greeted them while Koven listened quietly outside the door."Matthew, do you know who you are accusing? She's Princess Charlotte of our great nation. How dare you defame her like this?!" Juliana's trembling voice sounded, firmly accusing Matthew of lying."Matthew, speak," Arthur said calmly. "My Juliana, don't get agitated. Today, we'll get to the bottom of this. Even if a prince commits a crime, he should be punished the same as a commoner. If Matthew is lying, I will not spare him.""Recording pen." Koven heard Matthew's voice

    "Matthew, Charlotte has something to say." Juliana personally came to request Matthew's presence. Matthew could not refuse. He had not slept well last night and was woken up early. "Please grant her this for one last time. She's just a child, after all." Juliana left with red, swollen eyes after speaking.…"Do you want to hear a secret? Want to know?" Charlotte had changed into ordinary clothes, and her hair was disheveled. "Hahaha, do you think you can protect her? Just you alone?"Matthew stared coldly at the woman in front of him, saying nothing."Even without me, do you think she'll be safe?" Charlotte continued with a bitter, mocking smile."What do you mean?" Matthew was alarmed. He could not stay calm after hearing that this concerned Lucy's safety."What do you think? Hahaha... you don't know, do you? Mr. Zimmer has a pampered granddaughter who always gets what she wants. And that woman of yours, Lucy, took something from me and now wants to take Linus from her. Do y

    "Hmm, this pasta is good!" Hudson sat in the dining hall, his hand still wrapped in gauze as he continuously ate his food. Across from him was Charlie, watching."Slow down. Your injury hasn't healed yet, and you want to join Matthew and Koven on their mission? Are you sure?" Charlie asked skeptically, his eyes full of disdain. He said teasingly, "You should go home and rest properly! Don't force yourself.""Don't underestimate me. I can handle it. Friends should share hardships. How can I just sit back and watch you guys fight the battle by yourselves?" Hudson had his mouth full of shrimp. He had not eaten meat or seafood for a few days. Given he was from a wealthy family, he felt aggrieved!"You should rest well first. Matthew and the others won't be back for a few days. If you go now, you won't be helping them but making them worry instead," Charlie advised earnestly."I'll call him!""Hey, Hudson, how are your injuries?" Matthew's voice came through the phone. He expressed his

    "Mrs. Stone, come here," Matthew called the caretaker who had just arrived—Maria Stone, known as Mrs. Stone. She had been working with Juliana before this and was only 29 years old. Juliana specifically asked her to serve Lucy. "I need to go out for something. Take good care of Lucy. There must be no mistakes. The food must be the freshest, and she must be assisted in walking..." Matthew said everything that should be said, each sentence an order. "Okay, I know what to do. I'll take good care of the princes. Please rest assured!" Mrs. Stone said with a smile, holding a recipe that she had just written down in her hand."Alright, you can rest assured! Mrs. Stone is very kind." Lucy nudged Matthew's hand and made a mischievous face. …On the other hand, Selena and Koven had been following Linus's whereabouts. Linus had been nearby all along, but why could they not find him before? If there were really important secrets or something about Alice, why would they show his whereabo

    A man clad in a black cloak walked slowly, followed by several similarly dressed men, all armed and masked. “Hurry up!” the man in front urged, and the others quickened their pace. The surroundings were filled with vegetation, the low hiss of insects, and crows quietly watching from the treetops. Suddenly, a group of people surrounded them, also dressed in black and wielding weapons. “You’ve finally arrived!” The cloaked man’s voice was sharp, almost like a woman’s. However, it was clear he was a man. He slowly removed his hat, revealing a delicate face. Upon closer inspection, his eyes were stunningly clear, and he had long, black eyelashes. His eyebrows were perfectly shaped as well. However, the lower half of his face was covered by a mask, obscuring the rest of his features. “I'm just following orders. Please forgive me!” The speaker was Linus. His gaze was steady, and he had a weapon in hand. The slight smile on his lips suggested he had a purpose. Behind him wa

    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.

    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.
