Chapter 906

Author: Tang Eighteen
Selena slowly made her way into Gwen's house. There wasn’t a single trace of light inside, so Selena had to feel her way through the darkness, relying on the layout she had just seen through the window.

Selena had an excellent memory, and every step was carefully calculated. She could not afford to make a single mistake. Gwen was likely sleeping on the second floor.

She had just seen the child placed in the living room on the first floor, so now, Selena’s only goal was to find the child and then leave.

As she walked, Selena began to feel uneasy. She was certain that she had seen the child right here just moments ago—so why was Johnny gone? Had Gwen left Johnny elsewhere?

Selena continued searching, but she was completely disoriented. Her sense of direction was entirely thrown off.

As Selena continued wandering in the dark, she suddenly bumped into someone. Who could it be? Selena cautiously took a few steps back. The figure felt familiar...

She reached out and grabbed the person.

    At this moment, Matthew was waiting at home. He knew that this matter was beyond the police’s capability—it was up to Koven and the others.It was nearly 5:00 am, and Matthew was in the living room, observing everything under the moonlight. It was not as dazzling as the daylight, but it had a calming effect.The silence was so profound that he could hear his own heartbeat. Outside, everything was deathly still, with only the flowers in the garden casting shadows on the ground.Matthew felt something in his hand and immediately sat up from his half-lying, half-sitting position.It was a photograph of his son, Johnny. In the photo, Lucy was holding both their daughter and their son.They were all smiling so happily. Venus was also in the photo. The four of them looked so harmonious, with the children grinning broadly.Matthew suddenly realized that the place where Venus was standing should have been his spot. Also, what about Gabriella?

    Matthew conducted a thorough examination of Johny and felt relieved after reviewing the test results."Let's throw a banquet to celebrate the child's safe return!" Gabriella suggested to Matthew.She was holding Johnny, making the baby laugh heartily. She had no intention of discussing anything with Lucy. "Mom, I think we should skip the banquet. Just inviting Selena and Koven over would be enough," Matthew said to Gabriella."Besides, there's no need for a banquet. The child needs some peace and quiet. Even if we invite people to come, they might not necessarily share in the joy; they might just criticize Lucy behind her back. Everyone is responsible for the child going missing. The blame shouldn't all fall on Lucy alone."Gabriella felt a surge of jealousy seeing how protective Matthew was of his wife.She glanced at Lucy, who had not said a word since arriving, fearing she might offend Gabriella even slightly.Seeing how easily intimidated Lucy seemed, Gabriella gave her a s

    Gwen looked at Linus without saying a word. She walked up to him to see what was going on, but as soon as Linus raised his head, the two of them looked like a perfect couple in the mirror.Linus was also stunned for a moment. Could he really be this handsome?Also, Gwen, who was next to him, was just too cute! No, no, how could he be thinking these things?Linus silently repeated to himself, but he could not stop thinking about it.Gwen noticed his blushing face and decided to tease him further. She leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "What's wrong? Why is your face so red?"Then, she gave a mischievous smile and glanced at the mirror, only to see Linus become even more flustered. She laughed and walked out.Linus' heart was pounding wildly. He did not know what to do. He just knew he did not want to face Gwen.No, could it be that he was starting to like her?Linus kept denying his own thoughts over and over again, finding them absurd.Just as he stepped out, he saw Gwen

He said that it was worth it because the woman was very kind-hearted.Their encounter had actually happened because she was one of Mark’s patients.

    As Gabriella examined the luxurious clothes, bags, shoes, and pants, she could not help but feel that Lucy was completely unappreciative of such treasures.

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.
