Chapter 887

Author: Tang Eighteen
Linus was summoned to the pavilion by Daniel. He did not know what was going to happen, but there was nothing left to fear. He had endured all kinds of pain before, and a purposeless summons was never a good sign.

If it was about Gwen, there was nothing to discuss. He would not agree to it. His heart was already full, and he could not pretend to compromise.

Linus recalled the past few days spent with Gwen, but that only proved they needed each other's company. He had always treated Gwen like a little sister.

The more Linus thought about it, the more confused he became. He wondered if Daniel would directly marry Gwen to him and what he would do then. His mind was in turmoil, but he soon found himself at the pavilion door, where Daniel was discussing something with a subordinate.

Linus decided to wait until they finished talking before going in, but Daniel knew he was already there.

"Come in!" Daniel called, and the subordinate left the room.

Daniel looked at Linus without speaking

    Lucy dragged Matthew into the shopping mall, looking quite stylish today. She wore a large sun hat and a beige dress. She had her hair done and sported five-centimeter high heels. She looked pretty good.Lucy was thrilled to be shopping. It had been months since Matthew last accompanied her shopping. Taking care of the kids was exhausting, even though their cuteness made it worth it. However, the effort was truly overwhelming.She glanced at Matthew, who had not changed a bit, while she had filled out more. Feeling a bit dissatisfied, she tugged at his arm. "Look at you! I'm the one who had to endure the pain of giving birth, and I'm also the one who gained weight. Hmph."Matthew was not sure what to say. They had already entered the mall, which was much cooler than outside."A little weight looks cute on a woman. You're very cute right now. You're always trying to lose weight, but is being skinny really that great? Besides, I only want you, no matter what you look like. I won't ch

    "Wrap it up!" Matthew, noticing how much Lucy liked the shoes, instructed the sales attendant to package them and have them sent to their home. They then continued shopping, with Lucy’s foot miraculously feeling better. As he watched his playful wife, Matthew felt a flutter in his heart.They soon arrived at a jewelry store, renowned far and wide for its authenticity. Every item in the store was genuine, with no counterfeits to be found. Each piece was also designed by world-famous designers, and every item was a limited edition.Suddenly, Lucy's foot 'hurt' again. Matthew glanced at her and said, "Little pig, don’t pretend. Today is all about shopping. Just pick what you want!"Realizing Matthew had seen through her antics, Lucy blushed. She had more money than she could spend, but for some reason, Matthew’s money always seemed more appealing.

    Matthew placed a coin in the dish and then called for the manager. The manager hurried over, asking what had happened.“There’s a strand of hair in this dish,” Matthew said as he showed the hair to the manager. The manager immediately apologized, “I’m so sorry, it wasn’t intentional. I’ll have a new dish prepared for you right away.” With that, he rushed back to the kitchen.Lucy did not understand why Matthew had done that. Matthew quietly explained it to her, and she immediately realized the reason. Soon after, the manager brought out a new dish. Matthew checked the bottom of the plate—there was no coin, which indicated that the dish was indeed freshly prepared. It seemed like the restaurant still had some integrity.However, while there was no coin, there was a cigarette butt in the dish. Matthew, seeing this, quickly told Lucy not to touch it. He took out the cigarette butt and showed it to Lucy, who was shocked.There was not a single waiter in sight, so Matthew discreetly w

    Matthew pulled Lucy to sit behind the elderly lady and the little boy. The old lady scolded them again, "Young people these days have no manners, changing seats as they please."Lucy wanted to retort, but Matthew stopped her. The old lady was clearly taking advantage of her elderly age, scolding others because she assumed no one would argue with someone as old as her.Matthew began to slowly and deliberately kick the seats in front of them, where the old lady and the little boy were sitting. Lucy understood—he was giving them a taste of their own medicine.Lucy carefully watched the two in front. The old lady did not react, but the little boy did. He turned around and said, "Can you stop kicking? It's making me uncomfortable!"Lucy ignored him, and Matthew continued kicking. The boy complained to his grandmother, who could not take it anymore.

    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. 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
