”No need to be afraid. It’s just a hug.”

Matthew stared at Lucy's flustered face with a grin that was enough to make her heart skip a beat.

Her face was as red as a tomato, which made her look even more irresistible.

“W-Why are you here?”

Matthew still had a bright smile on his face. “This is my room. Why wouldn't I be here?"

Hearing this, Lucy's face could not possibly get any redder than this. As she stared at him, she tried to shake off the wild thoughts in her mind telling her how attractive he looked! This was his room, and she was wearing his bathrobe…

Lucy was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole.

She quickly stood back up and retorted, “Let me go.”

Matthew let go of her with a chuckle. He looked down at his hands, seemingly still feeling the soft tenderness of her body earlier on his hands.

He wanted to hold her in his arms again, but he also did not want to scare her.

She was already his wife anyway. It was only a matter of time before he could have h

    When Matthew saw Lucy nod, he handed her the two bags of clothes and said, “Here, take your clothes. You can sleep in the room next door. I’ll ask Francis to bring you some more clothes tomorrow.”Lucy wanted to refuse his offer, but she saw how insistent he was and decided to just do as he said.After she left the room, Matthew’s gaze returned to its usual iciness. He took out his phone to call Francis, “Pull out the investment in Lucas Corporation’s fashion show.”“But, sir, we just invested last night. If we withdraw now…”“Do I have to repeat myself?” Matthew squinted his eyes as he spoke ruthlessly.On the other end of the line, Francis was breaking into a cold sweat. “No, sir. Consider it done!”Matthew gripped his phone as he glowered.He must get revenge on the person who bullied his woman! Meanwhile, Lucy was having trouble sleeping. Tears kept pouring down her cheeks, soaking her pillows. Eventually, though, she was fast asleep.When the sun came up, Matthew got out

    Matthew kept glancing at the time. When he finally heard footsteps coming down the stairs, he looked up and was stunned.He smiled as he watched her slowly walk down the stairs. His wife was breathtaking! In the one-shoulder gown, one side of Lucy’s shoulder and collarbone was exposed.Above her collarbone were a pair of crystal drop earrings that twinkled like a million stars.On one of her shoulders was a white crystal shoulder pad embellished with gold tassels.The bodice of the gown fit snugly around her curves, and the pleats at the waist flowed seamlessly into a voluminous ball gown.The dress itself was also adorned with diamonds, making her sparkle.Standing up, Matthew walked toward Lucy.He chuckled when he sensed her nervousness. With a deep and mellow voice, he said, “Lulu, you look absolutely gorgeous!”Blushing at what he said, Lucy lowered her head with a smile.Matthew reached out to take her hand, a grin plastered across his face. “Let’s go crash this wedding.

    "Isn’t that the eldest daughter of the Quinn family? What is she doing here?”“Tsk, tsk. Shit’s about to go down!”“I heard that she was supposed to get married to Mr. Timothy today.”“Oh, snap! A love triangle!”Lucy found their comments unbearable, causing her face to turn ashen and her hands to grow cold.Holding her hand, Matthew whispered to comfort her, “Don’t listen to them. Hold your head high and keep on walking.”Taking a deep breath, she did as she was told.When they entered the Royal Hotel side-by-side, there was another round of gasps.“Wow, he’s so handsome!”“She’s gorgeous!”“What a perfect match!”“They’re a match made in heaven!”“Hey, isn’t that the eldest daughter of the Quinn family?”“It really is Lucy!”“What’s she doing here?”Everyone speculated as they were shocked to see her here.Luna was in her white wedding dress when she noticed everyone looking at the entrance while complimenting Lucy. Her face was full of spite at first, but she quickly

    Matthew appeared dashing, exuding toughness. Luna looked envious. She was leaning into Timothy’s arms, but her gaze was fixated on the man in front of her.Timothy and Matthew were both in their 20s, but the latter looked much more charismatic than Timothy—especially in that black suit.His face was flawless, and his deep eyes were so intense that his gaze would make others weak in the knees.Everyone was swooning over him.Lucy smiled as she looked at the handprint on Timothy’s face.Her heart seemed to hurt less now!Timothy’s face fell. Just as he lifted his hand to fight back, Francis rushed in with a group of bodyguards.A burly bodyguard grabbed Timothy’s wrist, flinging him away. He said in disgust, “Don’t you dare touch our CEO with your filthy hands!”Timothy tried to calm his rage as he glared at the man who had completely stolen his thunder.Matthew looked at him mockingly. “Lulu is my woman now, so don’t even think about laying a finger on her!”Lucy’s face redd

    Overwhelmed with grief at her father-in-law's sudden departure, Luna started shedding tears.Timothy’s face became ominously dark as he questioned, “Mom, how could Dad leave right now? It’s my wedding. How am I supposed to explain this to Luna’s parents?”Patricia understood her son’s anger, but she could not do much except let out a sigh and explain, "Something happened at the company, so your dad had to leave to take care of matters." She then turned to look at Melanie apologetically and said, “Mrs. Quinn, I’m really sorry. Timothy’s father has some urgent business to take care of at the company. I hope you understand!”Melanie said, “It’s okay.”In fact, she minded it a lot, and it was weighing on her mind. No matter how important the matter was, how could it be more important than his own son’s wedding?…After they got into the car, Lucy was confused as to why Matthew was not driving away.When they saw Aaron run out of the hotel in a panic, a smile made its way to Matt

    ”Who the heck are you? You'd better give me your name. I’m warning you, don’t you dare lay a hand on my bestie!” Chelsea shot to fury after she heard a man’s voice on the other end of the line.Hearing such threats would have made anyone else angry, but Matthew simply smiled and gave the phone back to Lucy. He told her, “Your bestie has something to say to you.”Lucy glared at him. How bold of him to snatch her phone away from her!However, her angry expression only elicited a chuckle from Matthew.Chelsea’s voice was heard from the other end. “Lulu, who’s that man? Don’t worry, he won’t dare do anything to you after I warned him. Tell me where you are. I’ll go rescue you right now!”Lucy was comforted by her best friend’s words. Glancing at Matthew, who was driving, she let out a chuckle. “Chelsea, don’t worry. I’m fine. That man is my husband.”When she said the word 'husband', she could not help but blush and lower her voice.Chelsea was so shocked that she did not respond fo

    Lucy had indeed never thought about it before, but she did not care about Matthew's background.If he could afford to live in this house, he must not be a gambling addict or a thug.As for whether he was a freeloader, she had yet to find out.Ignoring Melanie’s voice on the other end, Lucy started getting lost in thought.Her lack of response made Melanie so angry she yelled, “Lucy, you'd better come back right now and bring that man with you. If you don’t come back, you’ll be sorry!”Lucy frowned at Melanie’s threat and let out a sigh.She knew that it was just an empty threat, but whenever her family pulled such tricks, they would succeed in frightening her. After hanging up, Lucy leaned on the sofa tiredly. She did not even notice Matthew come in.“What’s wrong?” Lucy was alerted by the deep voice ringing in her ears. She turned to look at the handsome man staring at her with a hand in his pocket.Lucy forced a miserable smile. “You have to come with me to my house. My mot

    Lucy shrugged. “I told you, I’m married. Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”After saying her piece, she turned to leave with Matthew.Melanie angrily pulled Lucy back. She pointed at Matthew’s nose and cursed, “I’ll make you pay for deceiving my daughter, you freeloader!”“The hundred thousand dollars—take it or leave it.” Matthew’s patience had reached its limit. Ignoring Melanie’s curses behind him, he left with Lucy.Embarrassed, Lucy said, “I’m sorry you had to see that.”Matthew smiled at her and asked, “Do you think I’m a freeloader?”She froze for a second before shaking her head and stammering the words, “I-I don’t think so. You live in a nice house… You have a nice car…”“But the thought has crossed your mind, right?” Matthew watched her flustered reaction.Being stared down like that, Lucy had no choice but to nod.There was a gleam in Matthew’s eyes when he smiled. “Congratulations, you’re right!”“Huh? A-Are you really a freeloader?” Lucy looked disappointed.Sh

    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.

Her appearance radiated the elegance of a woman of high social standing, making her stand out among the people on the street.Lucy welcomed Gabriella warmly, treating her with utmost respect.

    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
