"Alright, Mr. Leon. Is there anything else I can do for you?”Matthew was getting a headache, so he massaged his temples and said, “You don’t need to pick her up from the airport, but take some people with you to delay her arrival. The longer, the better. If you complete your job well, I’ll increase your salary.”The assistant paused for a moment. It seemed like Matthew and his mother were not on good terms.“Yes, sir. I’ll try my best to stall Madam Leon.”If not for their fractured relationship, he would not be having this opportunity to get a raise. All he had to do was stall Madam Leon. How hard could it be?Consider it done!‘Salary raise, here I come!’ the assistant cheered in his heart.Matthew responded calmly. He had just recruited a new office assistant a couple of years ago, and Matthew was very pleased with him. He was very hard-working, unlike his personal assistant, who was clumsy and stupid. How on earth did the HR department hire an assistant like him?After g

Matthew was taken aback by Lucy’s clinginess today, so he could not help but worry. “What’s wrong, Lulu? Are you not feeling well?”Thinking about Lucy’s health condition, Matthew became even more worried. Lucy was not usually this clingy, so there must be something bothering her. He stubbornly thought so.Baffled, Lucy looked at him and said, “I’m totally fine. I can eat, drink, jump, and run. "But how can you go to work in your current state? Are you trying to kill yourself? You look like a panda with those eye bags. I don’t want to hear about my husband’s sudden death in the office on the news the next day.”Matthew fell silent. He took out a small mirror from his pocket and looked at his reflection. He was almost having an existential crisis. Were his dark circles so bad that they made Lucy this worried?Meanwhile, Lucy gaped at him, wondering why her husband was carrying a small mirror in his pocket. The mirror even looked kind of feminine.Was this proof that Matthew had a

Lucy grabbed Matthew’s sleeve, sensing that something was very, very wrong!Why did Matthew have to go to work today when he could just rest at home? Although he ran a large company, he had many employees at his disposal, so he could just allocate the work to them. They could take their time finishing it. There was no need for him to be in such a rush, unless…Lucy squinted. “Are you seeing someone else?”Matthew almost lost his balance. He looked at her in disbelief. “Lulu, what do you have in that head of yours? You’re always coming up with such wild guesses every day, and none of them are right. You sure have one hell of an imagination.”Lucy looked at him with a poker face. “I don't want to make such guesses either. But you're acting so suspiciously. I have to know why you must go to work today.”Matthew’s eyes twitched. He looked as if he was about to collapse. “My mother is on her way here. I need to get there as soon as possible because my assistant won't be able to stop

While driving to the company with Lucy, Matthew could not help but feel uneasy. He was even getting a headache, seemingly dreading what was to come.Lucy glanced at him from time to time, feeling puzzled. When they were halfway there, she finally asked, “Matt, why do you look so nervous? Aren’t we just meeting your mother? Why do you look like we’re on the way to hell?”Matthew shook his head without saying a word, making Lucy even more curious.What kind of woman was Matthew’s mother to make him look so distressed? Could she be like the evil stepmother in fairy tales?Laughing at her own imagination, Lucy shook her head to get rid of such thoughts. If Matthew had turned out like this, how bad could his mother be? There was no way she would be as bad as she imagined.However, looking at Matthew’s expression, Lucy could not shake off the feeling that his mother might be even scarier than an evil stepmother. After mentally preparing herself, Lucy felt a little better.She decided t

Matthew’s face grew cold. “Mom, you sent me messages in the early hours. You know there’s a time difference between New York and here, right? That’s why I didn’t reply to your messages.”Gabriella found it amusing. “Matty, I raised you. Do you think that I don’t recognize your little tricks? Don’t lie to me. Never mind the time difference, you still haven’t replied to me all morning.”She strutted in her five-inch heels all the way to Matthew.He was left speechless by her words. He clenched his fists in silence.The sound of her heels got closer and closer. With every step Gabriella took, the air around Matthew grew colder.By the time she was in front of him, the air around Matthew was as cold as ice. His face was expressionless, like a silent volcano.Gabriella looked at Matthew with a half-smile. “Matty, you don’t look very happy to see me.”“Of course, I’m not,” Matthew finally said. His voice was cold and firm as if he were talking to his enemy.Standing on the sidelines,

Matthew pulled Lucy behind him, looking furious. “She's my wife. What are you trying to do, Mother?”Gabriella was taken aback when she saw Matthew shielding Lucy so securely. She twirled a strand of hair in her hand and said, “It seems like the future mistress of Leon Corporation isn’t much. Matt, why don’t you marry someone else? I have plenty of worthy candidates.”Lucy clenched her fists behind Matthew, feeling anxious and helpless.This was totally different from what she had imagined. She had imagined many scenarios of meeting Matthew’s mother and even thought about what she would do if his mother did not like her. However, Lucy did not expect to be outright rejected from the start.Gabriella’s words made her doubt herself. Was she really that bad? Memories of Timothy’s betrayal surfaced in her mind, and she looked at Matthew with pleading eyes.Fortunately, Matthew did not disappoint Lucy. “What nonsense are you talking about, Mother? I’ve only ever loved Lucy in my entire

"It’s okay, Matt.”There was nothing wrong with Lucy’s tone, so Matthew did not notice her discomfort.He was just curious, but before he turned around, Lucy hugged him from behind.“I’m fine, Matt. Thank you for your concern.”Lucy tried to sound happy. “I think I've used up all my luck after finding a husband like you. A lot has happened today. Can I just go home and rest? I don’t want to go in.”Thinking that Lucy had not recovered from what had happened earlier, he patted her head and said, “Okay, you can go back and sleep as long as you want. I’ll go with you.”After saying that, he wanted to break away from her embrace. However, no matter how hard he tried, she would not let go. He was afraid of hurting her, so he dared not use too much force.He heard Lucy say to him, “It’s okay, Matt. I can go back alone. Just give me the car keys. I bet you have a lot to do at the company today since you kept insisting on coming to work.”Matthew fell silent. His desk was probably fill

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief. “Alright, you may leave.”The man left the CEO’s office, and Matthew concentrated on his work again.Unlike what he said, Lucy did not seem like she was going home after leaving Leon Corporation. She drove aimlessly on the highway while her mind was in chaos.The appearance of Matthew’s mother was like a wake-up call for her. She seemed to be too dependent on Matthew. If anything happened to her, she would have to depend on Matthew and get him to solve everything for her.How could she ever deserve Matthew? How could she take everything Matthew gave her for granted? When did she develop such a mentality? It seemed like ever since Matthew showed an interest in her, every other woman was basically invisible to him. Even her best friend, Chelsea, was only given a shred of respect by Matthew because she was her friend.Since then, she had been taking advantage of Matthew’s affection, asking him for whatever she wanted. Even if she did not ask him f

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.

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
