Chapter 952

Author: Tang Eighteen
Charlotte was stunned by Joan’s behavior. This woman had a bit of a mischievous vibe. Was she trying to become friends with her just to ask for favors later? Or maybe she thought that since Charlotte was a princess, she would stand to benefit something from it when they both left? Or perhaps…

Charlotte speculated, but when it came to Joan, she could not find any evidence. How could such a simple woman have such deep thoughts? However...

“Isn’t that right?” Joan asked coyly, her voice so soft and delicate, like the song of a bird. It sent a shiver through Charlotte.

“Yes, yes, yes… We’re friends, we’re friends!” Charlotte answered awkwardly while thinking to herself if Joan had gone mad.

Just as Charlotte was lost in thought, she accidentally choked on a grain of rice. Feeling uncomfortable, she ran to a distant corner and started coughing.

When she turned around, Joan had somehow appeared right behind her, smiling as she handed her a glass of water.

Charlotte felt grateful as she

    “No!” Charlotte answered, thinking to herself that it was not such a big deal if she did not have anyone. It was not something shameful, right?“I do!” Joan gazed at the rose petals floating on the water, picking them up and letting them fall again. She said with deep meaning, “Back then, I really liked her. I loved being with her every day, and as long as we were together...”Only then did Charlotte realize that Joan had been spending time with her because she resembled that woman—not just in appearance but also in personality.According to Joan, she was still very young at the time. One day, she encountered a cool-looking young guy on the street. When she got closer, she realized it was actually a girl.From the moment Joan saw her, she was deeply attracted. She would go to watch her performances every day and buy her ice cream. They would watch movies, go shopping, and play games together.One day, when Joan went to find her again, she had disappeared, and the performance troup

    Before Joan was sent here, her father worried that his daughter would not adapt to the environment, so he had the place prepared thoroughly, making sure nothing essential was missing.Joan was forced to come here. At first, she resisted. On the first day, she made a complete mess of her room, turning it into chaos like a chicken coop.However, after a night of quiet reflection, she realized that while this place did not give her freedom and the hygiene conditions were far from what she was used to at home, it was peaceful—free from her mother’s constant nagging, which was worth more than anything. Why not settle down and recover here? What good would come from struggling? Joan decided to stay, thinking that seeing a different world might not be so bad.On her first day, she noticed Charlotte in the crowd. Charlotte looked special, with an air of dignity and confidence. She resembled that girl in every way—her movements, her expressions, everything was so similar.That day, Joan s

    Lucy was once again repeating her daily routine—taking care of the children, tidying up the house, and reading scientific articles about childcare, only to start over again from the beginning every time.One day, Theodore suddenly announced he was coming to visit, throwing her into a flurry of activity. She had not expected Theodore to visit at this time and had no idea why.Time flew by. Lucy asked Maria to take care of the children while she went to the airport to pick up her brother.Looking at her clothes, Lucy mumbled to herself, "I think I’ve been wearing these clothes for two days now... Oh well, never mind."She quickly drove to the airport. The plane had not arrived yet, so she waited patiently. Many others around her were also waiting for people.Lucy stood there, feeling a bit tired. She had no makeup on and did not have time to change her clothes. Thankfully, she showered every day. Otherwise, it would've been embarrassing.Playing with her phone, she spotted an empty

    Back home, Lucy had already asked Maria to prepare a room for Theodore, and he easily made his way inside.The household staff members were all watching Lucy’s so-called 'brother', each of them sticking their heads out, staring intently.Maria quickly shooed them away. "Shoo, shoo! Stop gawking like you've never seen a guest before. Haven't you all witnessed grand occasions?"With that scolding, the maids returned to their tasks—some tending to the garden, others cleaning the house—allowing the Leon family to finally have some peace."Where are my niece and nephew? Lucy, did you hide them away?" Theodore teased, making Lucy burst out laughing."Would I be so mean? Of course not! They’re waiting for their uncle in their room!" Lucy grabbed his hand and jogged toward the little ones' room.When the door opened, the first to greet them was the golden retriever. Upon seeing Lucy, it leaped into her arms.Then, it barked loudly at Theodore.Theodore cautiously petted its head, and t

    Theodore took little Johnny, but his mind was not on the child at all. He playfully entertained him in a hasty, careless manner."This baby is really adorable! Lucy, how did you give birth to such a cute baby?" “He looks just like you, with such fair skin…” Theodore was about to say the baby’s skin was as fair as Venus' but realized it in time and swallowed the words back.“Of course! Don’t you know what a beauty your sister is? How could my child be any less?” Lucy boasted, making the others chuckle.Theodore lay in the room all day, thinking about the woman he met that morning, Venus.He could not sleep, with Venus' image constantly replaying in his mind. He simply could not shift his attention away.Venus was different from Annabella. Annabella was strong-willed and often short-tempered. She was unfriendly toward people. However, Venus was the opposite. She exuded gentleness from within.When he held little Johnny earlier, the faint scent of her lingered on the child. It w

    "What are you planning to do with so many?" Theodore regained his composure. He was not as excited as before, and his tone was now a bit more normal.He was tall and strong, with some stubble on his face. His long hair was tied into a small ponytail, giving him an artistic vibe. Coupled with his deep, magnetic voice, it was enough to make anyone feel a shiver.Venus replied, "I'm making wine. The stuff you buy outside isn’t as healthy, so it’s better to make it ourselves. The madam has been very kind to me, so it’s good to give her something she can feel safe eating."As she spoke, Venus pointed to a cabinet nearby. "I've already made a batch—blueberry, grape, rose, lychee, and some other flavors."Theodore was amazed. "Can we drink it now?"His eyes lit up. He usually did not drink much, but if it was Venus’ wine, he’d drink it no matter how full he was."Yes! The blueberry one isn’t ready yet, but the others are good to go." Venus glanced at his childlike expression and could n

Don't worry. You go to sleep first. I'll go check on Koven. Maybe it's just a prank!" Matthew had no mind to think about anything else at the moment. He just wanted to check on his best friend and see how he was holding up.He rushed out and called Hudson and Charlie on the way.

    Koven grabbed the bottle of alcohol beside him and chugged it all in one go, then drunkenly collapsed onto the couch behind him, with the last tear sliding down from the corner of his eye.Matthew took a sip and said, “Let’s go!”He called out to the others who were still drinking.“Where to?” Charlie asked, puzzled.“Of course, we’re going back! Can’t you see Koven is already drunk? Do you still want to drink? We’re here to keep Koven company, not for you to have fun,” Hudson said, as if speaking to a fool.Matthew and Hudson helped the drunk Koven back home, leaving Charlie, who was caught by the bar owner to settle the bill.“Hey, wait for me!” Charlie ran out of the bar, chasing after the two ahead of him.After settling Koven down, Matthew looked around his room and silently walked out.“Charlie, are you staying here to take care of Koven?” Hudson asked.

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. It left the headmistress in a muddle while Joan looked on with envy! The headmistress glanced at Charlotte, feeling quite displease
