Chapter 221

Cillian was relieved to see that Lucy was awake. He asked with concern, “Lucy, how are you feeling? Are you feeling any discomfort? You were crying just now. Did you have a bad dream?”With so many questions bombarding her at once, Lucy was at a loss for words. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine. Maybe I’m just a little nervous about going to an unfamiliar country.”At the same time, it was because there was no one familiar around her. If Chelsea were here, Lucy would not have ended up like this because Chelsea’s presence was comforting and familiar to her.She was not saying that Cillian was not great. It was just that she only remembered spending one year with him. Not to mention, Cillian was much fatter back then.The new Cillian was fit, tall, and even looked a little hot, making it hard for her to get used to him.Oblivious to Lucy’s crooked thoughts, Cillian was just relieved to see that she was fine. He handed her a cup of honey water.“Have something sweet. It’ll help

However, Lucy quickly realized that her plans were foiled as she stared blankly at the afternoon sun in Charleston.Cillian thought that Lucy was not used to the time difference, so he comforted her, “There’s a time difference between Charleston and our country, but you’ll be fine. You might feel sleepy in another couple of hours, but to not mess with your circadian rhythm, it’s best if you don’t sleep yet. It’s a good chance for you to adjust your internal clock.”Lucy was speechless. She had just decided to stay up late. Now, she was forced to adjust her circadian rhythm? Lucy grabbed her luggage and prepared to hail a taxi to their pre-booked hotel.A few steps in, Lucy felt her luggage getting taken from her hands by Cillian.Cillian smiled at her and said, “I’m the man here. How can I let a woman carry her own luggage? Let’s go. I’ll show you the way.”With an oversized travel bag on his back and a small pink suitcase in his hand, Cillian walked down the streets of Charleston

Cillian was at a loss after hearing Lucy’s question. “Well, not exactly. This is just where we’ll be staying temporarily, but we might be here for a while before we find a permanent place to stay.”After his response, Lucy muttered, “Oh, I see. Alright then. I’ll hang up my clothes in the wardrobe for now. I’ll just fold them back in when the time comes.“By the way, this room must be expensive,” she said as she looked around her room. There was a large bed, a two-seater table with tea sets on it, and a television. Moreover, the room was much more spacious than normal hotel rooms. What surprised her the most were the cosmetics in front of the mirror. They were all high-end brands, with each product costing more than four figures.“How much does a room like this cost?”Cillian smiled wryly at her question. As the wife of Leon Corporation’s heir, he would expect her to be complaining about the room. It was just slightly fancier than a standard room. It was nothing compared to the r

The priest delivered the eulogy at the funeral.Apart from Charlotte’s hypocrisy, everyone else genuinely mourned and offered prayers for the deceased princess, hoping she would return to the family in her afterlife.They firmly believed that lost treasures would one day return to where they belonged.The royal family of Charleston was highly exclusive, but it was undeniable that their love for family surpassed all else.It was difficult for someone to establish themselves in the royal family if they were not related to the family by blood. However, after being raised by them for over 20 years, Charlotte was the first outsider accepted by the royal family.Perhaps it was because she had spent two decades in the royal family that everyone seemed to trust her. They failed to see the monstrous heart hidden beneath her angelic facade.She even cursed this lost treasure in her heart, wishing the deceased princess misfortune in her next life. It was simply because this stranger dared t

It was a sunny day, and Lucy found herself lazing around in her room, scrolling on her phone. After a while, she listlessly set her phone aside, feeling bored.As Matthew said, Lucy came here to lay low.Cillian came with her too, but his case was different. He needed a believable reason for coming to Charleston, which was to complete the assignment his professor gave him. Hence, he would go out early in the morning to gather information, leaving Lucy alone in the hotel.Lucy lay down on the hotel bed, stretching lazily.She muttered to herself, “I’m so bored. Why didn’t Matthew give me something to bring to Charleston so that I could entertain myself?”The more Lucy thought about it, the more restless she became. Suddenly, she jumped up from the bed. “Since I’m bored, I might as well go out and find a guest house. I can’t stand sitting in the hotel every day.”Lucy first sent a message to Cillian, informing him of her whereabouts. Then, she grabbed a bag and stuffed her phone,

The girl’s question caught Lucy off guard, and she instinctively denied, “No, I'm not looking for anyone.”“Then why are you going in circles?“Oh, I know!” the girl exclaimed while Lucy was finding an excuse.She said cheerfully, “Are you walking around here because you’re a tourist? If that’s the case, I can show you around. I know many fun places here.”Her suggestion enlightened Lucy all of a sudden. She was right. If she could not find her way, she could just ask for directions, but it seemed like there was no need for that anymore. The little girl said that she knew the place well.Lucy’s face lit up with a smile. “Can you lead me to a guest house?”The little girl tilted her head with her hand on her chin as if she were in deep thought.“Miss, do you mean the places where you can rent a room?”The little girl was so adorable that Lucy was clutching her chest. In her heart, she was screaming, ‘Ah, she’s so cute! I wish I could have a child like her in the future.’Sudden

The woman nodded firmly. She could tell that this young lady was in a hurry to find a place to stay.She pointed to the top two floors of the apartment and said, “We’re renting the top two floors. On the second floor, we have a bedroom, a small living room, and a bathroom.“There’s also a small office with a computer and a desk, so you can draw or do work inside.“The third-floor layout is similar to the second floor, but without the office. However, the third floor gets a lot of sunlight and has a good view of the area. Would you like to take a look, miss?”Lucy’s eyes lit up as she heard the woman’s description.Renting out both floors would be convenient as she and Cillian could each have a floor to themselves. Moreover, the second floor had an office desk, which would be perfect for Cillian to work on his papers during his stay in Charleston.Plus, she noticed earlier that there was a small balcony on the third floor with some tables and chairs outside. During her free time,

Lucy did the mental calculations. If one floor cost 3,500 dollars, renting both floors would cost 7,000 dollars a month.Since she was not sure how long she would stay in Charleston, she conservatively estimated that she would stay for a year.For 12 months, the total would be 84,000 dollars.Lucy furrowed her brows in distress. Back at home with the Quinn family, she never lacked allowance, but coming up with 84,000 dollars at once was not easy.She opened her purse and took out a black card.She hesitated before taking it out. It was given to her by Matthew before she left. Perhaps this card could help her pay the rent.She was not sure whether there was enough money in the card. If there was not enough, this would not end well.Lucy had never seen the card before, so she did not know that the black card had unlimited credit. Any expenses she made would be recorded by the bank, and specialized personnel would settle the payments each month.Moreover, the card was accepted int

Lucy stretched lazily as she strolled along the path, leisurely admiring the blooming flowers.Thanks to the guidance of the little girl, she managed to find her way back. She planned to return to the hotel for a meal before telling Cillian the good news.After she made up her mind, Lucy’s phone suddenly rang. Startled, she took out her phone and saw that it was Cillian.How strange. Why was he calling at this time? Was he not supposed to be completing the assignment his professor gave him? Despite her confusion, Lucy answered the call.“Hello, Cillian. What’s the matter?”Cillian’s anxious voice came through the phone. “Lucy, where did you go? Why aren’t you in the hotel?”Lucy was bewildered. “Didn’t I text you just now? I went out to look for somewhere permanent to stay. The hotel may be nice, but we can’t stay there forever.”Cillian sounded distressed. “I read your message, but you’ve been gone for so long that I got worried.”Lucy was being targeted for assassination by S

After ensuring Lucy was okay, the man seemed relieved. "You're alright? That's great. I saw you squatting in the road and thought something was wrong. I almost called an ambulance," he explained. Lucy could not help but feel a little exasperated. An ambulance seemed a bit excessive. She softly assured him, "Really, I'm fine. I'm not at the point of needing an ambulance." This made Augustus Scruggs laugh heartily. "You're quite the character." Lucy was at a loss for words. She thought, 'He thinks I'm funny? I'm just being honest.' "Hi, I'm Augustus Scruggs. What's your name?" he asked. "Hi, I'm Lucy Quinn," she replied with a nod. Thinking the conversation was over, she was surprised when Augustus grinned and squatted down too. He was mirroring her earlier posture. "Why don't I keep you company while you wait for your friend? It's not right to leave a lady waiting alone on the street, even if this place is safe." Lucy sighed and crouched down again, puzzled by his odd
