Chapter 962

Author: Tang Eighteen
Selena looked around in amazement. She had never seen such beautiful scenery. Although it was not as breathtaking as Alaska, as captivating as the valleys of Hawala, or as bustling as Torko, she had never realized that nature could be so healing to the soul.

Unconsciously, the blood in Selena's body started flowing again. Her muscles began to grow, her arms no longer looked sickly thin, and her legs became fuller. The hollows in her face also started to fill out.

A few hours later, Mark was asleep in the car as the surroundings were so peaceful.

Selena fell asleep beside the wildflowers, as she had done before.

Mark did not wake her and continued to adjust his sleeping position, drifting off again.

At about four in the afternoon, Mark woke from his nap. He looked around. The sun was already setting. The sky was clear without a cloud in sight, only a blue hue adorning it.

The surroundings were very quiet, with just a few birds chirping in the distance. A butterfly slowly flew away

    "She left. She's probably doing better now than when she was with me. Even if I find her, she won't come back to me, will she?" Koven packed his things, intending to leave, but Matthew punched him to the ground.The nearby staff were all startled. They had never seen Matthew so violent before. After all, Matthew had always been regarded as a gentle and refined man. "Do you even know what you're saying? Do you know the reason why Selena left? And now, you're just giving up? So many of us haven't given up, and you, as her boyfriend—her fiancé—are saying you're giving up? What kind of talk is that!" Matthew was furious. He could not understand Koven's mindset.In Matthew's opinion, if you loved someone, you should not separate. Just like him and Lucy. When Lucy went missing, he never thought about giving up. Now, Koven wanted to give up on searching for Selena without even knowing the reason.Koven, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, did not get up. He looked at Matthew, who was

    Theodore learned that Lucy was feeling down because Selena had left without saying goodbye, so he went to the living room to comfort her.Although Lucy was in low spirits, her days were so packed with caring for the children that she had little time to dwell on it.Theodore held little Lila in his arms, playing with her cheerfully as if she were his own daughter.Seeing how much Theodore enjoyed being with the child, Lucy joked, "Theodore, you love kids so much, why don't you have one of your own? Then, you could hold them every day."Theodore did not respond, his mind drifting to Venus. She had just finished feeding Johnny, and he wondered where she was now.From the moment he first saw Venus, he could not stop thinking about her—her elegance, grace, and that unique charm she carried.As he was lost in thought, the baby in his arms suddenly started crying, prompting Lucy to quickly come over and take her.Babies were prone to upset stomachs, and little Lila had been having diar

    “What's wrong?” Lucy approached Theodore and glanced at Annabella. “I heard you two arguing from inside the house. Did something happen?”Theodore took Lucy's arm and sighed helplessly, remaining silent. If he said anything, Annabella would counter tenfold.“Your brother and I are engaged. Everyone knows about it, so you’d best stay out of our business,” Annabella said, sitting on a stone bench in the garden and crossing her legs arrogantly.Lucy looked at the domineering woman, unsure of how to retort. Theodore tried to pull her back inside.As Lucy turned to head back into the house, Annabella shot another remark, “Oh, look at that, how sweet! Doting on your little sister like that. Aren’t you afraid Mr. Leon will get jealous?”Hearing Annabella insult his sister like this infuriated Theodore. It was one thing to target him, but now, she had crossed the line with Lucy. He was about to speak when Lucy beat him to it.“Exactly! Sounds like you’re full of jealousy, aren’t you? You

    Lucy looked sympathetically at Theodore. She had not expected Annabella to be so difficult, pushing Theodore to the point of escaping to her home.Their father and mother were truly too much. Did they not understand how painful it was for Theodore to marry someone he did not love? Sometimes, people would use the excuse of 'It’s for your own good' to trap you in chains, forcing you to betray your own heart to fulfill some false sense of morality and filial piety.However, Theodore did not buy into that. His happiness was something he had to fight for, and he did not need anyone else’s judgment. He had his own plans and was not going to marry someone randomly just to meet expectations.During the time he had spent with Venus, he began to understand what love truly was, and this only strengthened his resolve. He would never marry Annabella—he would follow his heart.Theodore knew that Lucy was not like the others, standing on some moral high ground to judge him. She always thought t

    "Theodore, how about this? Don’t rush things. After all, she’s just a caretaker hired by our family. It’s not easy to bring up such matters. I’ll ask about it another day,” Lucy said, sensing Theodore’s difficulty but wanting to give him some peace of mind.Theodore lavished her with praise, calling her his 'good sister' and 'kindred spirit', using every complimentary phrase he could think of. It wasn’t mere flattery—this was how they normally interacted, and they were both used to it.As they were still talking, Matthew returned home. Dragging his exhausted body, he barely managed a smile at the two of them before heading straight to his room and collapsing on the bed, falling asleep almost immediately.Theodore was puzzled. Was this how they usually interacted? Coming home and heading straight to bed? What kind of behavior was that? As he began to feel indignant on Lucy’s behalf, she quickly explained the situation to him."Recently, he's been busy with Selena’s case. Selena is K

    Lucy felt that they had to tell Koven. No matter what, he was the person with the most right to know.Matthew did not agree with Lucy. Though they were friends, telling Koven directly would undoubtedly harm him.Moreover, Koven would definitely think that Spades had taken Selena. If he did not go and stir up trouble, it would be fine. However, if he lost control and stormed Spades, whether he could return alive or not would be a question.Hence, Matthew planned to first talk to Linus and see what he had to say. After all, he still had his wits about him.After expressing what had been weighing on his mind, Matthew slept peacefully, but Lucy could not sleep. She was worried about Selena and Spades.For years, Charlotte had worked with Spades to hunt her down, doing all sorts of things. This showed just how ruthless the people in Spades were.Although Selena was one of them, she was afraid that others would find out about her betrayal, and if they did...The more Lucy thought abou

    Linus was initially a bit panicked, but then he laughed. He had not expected Matthew to be this foolish.“Do you think telling the police is going to help? After all these years, who doesn’t know that I, Linus Gusman, have killed countless people? Do you really think I’d be scared of your little threat?” Linus sneered at the man who had stolen the woman he loved. There was a hint of hatred in his heart. This guy had come to stir up more trouble, which only deepened his resentment.Matthew had no other option. He came today just to give it a try, but seeing that Linus was not budging under pressure, he decided to change tactics and go for the soft approach.“Actually...” Matthew put on a very sorrowful expression, with tears even welling up in his eyes. “Actually, I really need your help this time. I’m begging you, I really am…” As he spoke, he almost came to tears.Even though Matthew was also a man, for Koven, he was willing to go all out.Linus was speechless. He knew Matthew

    Matthew quietly made his way to Koven’s house, wanting to see how he had been doing lately and to tell him about Linus and Selena.Just as he was hesitating, he heard the sound of something being smashed from inside the house.Matthew rushed over immediately. The door was not locked, so he went straight in.However, what he saw left him bitterly disappointed. It was a scene he never thought he would witness.Koven and… Cece?“Koven!” Matthew yelled loudly. His voice was loud enough to wake the neighbors, startling Cece, who was still in bed.Koven groggily woke up, still unaware of what had happened. He suddenly saw Cece next to him, both of them wrapped up in blankets. There was no way anyone would believe nothing had happened.Koven was just as shocked at himself. “Matthew, let me explain. I…”It was clear that Koven had been drinking. The room reeked of alcohol, making it nauseating.Matthew grabbed books and other objects nearby, hurling them at Koven and Cece. “From now o

    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.

    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
