Chapter 924

Author: Tang Eighteen
Matthew and Lucy walked arm-in-arm to see the Golden Retrievers. The store clerk guided them to the area where the puppies were kept. This section housed the larger dogs.

There was a husky barking at them, and Lucy's heart melted once again. She pulled Matthew over to the husky, which was very clever. Seeing potential owners, it began showing off its tricks, sticking out its tongue in a playful manner.

Lucy handed the kitten to Matthew and started playing with the husky. Matthew knew that Lucy would take her time looking at the dogs again. He mentally prepared himself to wait an hour, knowing he had no choice—it was his wife, after all.

Huskies were notorious for being destructive, which could be traced back to their ancestors, who had to pull sleds daily, so they were naturally restless. When no one played with them, they tended to chew on things. Some people found their 'intelligent' expressions amusing.

Golden Retrievers, on the other hand, were very gentle and posed no harm to

    In an old neighborhood, some women were fetching water and washing clothes, some were starting fires to cook, and others were chanting prayers.The morning was always accompanied by a cool breeze, waking people from their dreams. The sky would become lively with colors before the sun rose.Magpies sang on the treetops, and fish and shrimp played in the stream. Slowly, the sun rose from the east.All the anticipation came to fruition at that moment, as the sunlight painted the mountain tops with golden hues, creating a perfect picture against the blue sky.Charlotte was silently chanting in the monastery. She was dressed in gray-blue plain clothes and wore a hat of the same color. Her world seemed to have become dull.In the distance, the sound of the bell rang, reminding everyone that the day was about to begin.Beside Charlotte were some nuns. They seemed to have gotten used to this peaceful and uneventful life without competition. They focused solely on their faith every day.

    The head of the monastery slowly approached Charlotte, holding the large prayer beads she often carried."Everyone knows what kind of person I am. I'm always the most fair. If you can find a witness, I'll believe you," the head of the monastery said with a cold smile, looking at Charlotte before turning her gaze to the prayer beads in her hand."Did anyone see it happen the way Charlotte described, with Luna being the one who bullied her first?" the head of the monastery asked the few nuns behind her.Behind her were an elderly nun, three middle-aged women, and a woman about the same age as Charlotte. They all had sorrowful expressions, with dull complexions that were unpleasant to look at.No one spoke, and they all had their heads down. They were clearly too timid to say anything.Only the woman about Charlotte's age raised her head, but she had no intention of helping.Charlotte looked at this group of people, already knowing what the outcome would be, so she did not have much

    Charlotte was still engrossed in the sight of the drop of blood when suddenly, the door opened, and in walked Joan.She was carrying a basket and approached Charlotte with a smile.Charlotte was a bit at a loss, unsure of Joan's intentions and whether her arrival was friendly or hostile.Joan, still smiling, walked over slowly, carrying food. If someone did not know better, they might think the two had been friends for years.Charlotte kept her head down, quietly stringing her prayer beads as if no one had entered."I brought you some food. Aren't you going to say anything?" Joan joked as she opened the lunch box.Charlotte looked at her without speaking. In this monastery, very few people would treat her well. It was all about scheming and competition.Charlotte knew that if she ate the food, it could lead to various problems, so she simply ignored Joan.Knowing Charlotte would react this way, Joan served herself a plate and started eating.Charlotte paid no attention to her,

    "They've caught colds, so it's your turn!" the head of the monastery said coldly. Her eyes seemed to be saying, "You must recite today."Charlotte felt helpless. Everyone was watching her. If she refused, it would be seen as a sign of disrespect to the head of the monastery, making her life in the monastery even harder. However, if she recited, her sore throat would hurt even more. She had no choice but to push through.Charlotte picked up the scripture book, only to be reprimanded by the head of the monastery again."Recite it from memory. Don't look at the book. If you don't do it well, you won't be able to eat."'Fine, I'll endure it. You old hag, just wait! When I get out of here, I'll sew your mouth shut and see if you can keep up that tough talk,' Charlotte thought to herself.Once a noble princess, she had now fallen to the point of reciting scriptures in a monastery.

    Selena sat in the restaurant, dressed in a black leather jacket. Her hair was curled, her makeup was striking, and she wore a pair of black high heels, exuding an aura of confidence. Across from her sat a man, smoking a cigarette, seemingly engaged in conversation with her."Have you made up your mind?" Selena asked, her face expressionless. It was hard to tell what she was thinking. Was she sad? Troubled? No one could tell.The man opposite her was Linus, dressed in a simple top. He was puffing on his cigarette with an unreadable expression. The two of them conversed like this for the entire afternoon, and Selena seemed to struggle with controlling her emotions."Mr. Zimmer has been furious ever since you left Spades. Perhaps he couldn't believe you would make such a foolish decision," Linus said casually as he exhaled smoke."I never expected him to be so cunning. But at the end of the day, he is Daniel Zimmer," Selena murmured, her gaze shifting to the window, filled with sorrow

    "Every drug has side effects, and withdrawing from it can also make you sick. Those nightmares might just be a warning—this is only the beginning," Linus said with a meaningful look, feeling a bit frustrated with Selena's recklessness. He regretted not informing her sooner, which had now led to this tragedy. Then again, what happened next was up to fate. Linus knew the kind of person Selena was. Once she made up her mind, she would not regret it, but that was also her fatal weakness."Mr. Zimmer is searching everywhere for me now. I'm sorry for dragging you into this by meeting up. I'll repay this favor another time," Selena said as she stood up, preparing to leave. She had an exceptional figure and an unmatched aura. Even in her current weakened state, she still managed to act as if nothing was wrong. Otherwise, Koven would have noticed long ago."Don't say that. We're... friends. By the way, are you sure you don't want to tell Koven about this? As your..." Linus started to say,

    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 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

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.

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.
