Chapter 321
"How are you so sure that it isn't her who's resenting me for taking her rightful place while she was away?"
Charlotte screamed and accused Lucy, pointing at her while tears fell relentlessly.
"How are you so sure that it isn't because she can't bear the sight of me in the palace and receiving love from you guys?
"Since the kidnapper chose to abduct her instead of me, she must've thought of all ways to get rid of me. I've wholeheartedly accepted her as my sister, but all I've gotten in return is suspicion from all of you that I was the one who harmed her.
"Fine! If that's how it is, so be it. Since I'm not the king and queen's true daughter, I don't belong in this family anyway. Can I leave?
"I'll find my own biological parents. It may not be as comfortable as staying in the palace, but at least my real parents would never wrong me like this."
Charlotte's ability to distort the truth was evident. With just a few words, she turned Arthur and Juliana's affection for her into nothingness and expressed her desire to leave without any hesitation.
In the end, she made it seem as if Lucy was jealous of her and was deliberately trying to harm her. Juliana's heart was aching, and she was worried that Charlotte would really leave, so she chased after her.
“Charlotte, that's not what we meant. Are you trying to break my heart by saying those things..."
Juliana yelled while running after her. Meanwhile, the other three in the hall remained silent. Lucy never expected Charlotte to say such things. Not only did she completely deny harming her, but she even turned the tables on her. Lucy felt a chill in her heart when she saw Juliana chase after Charlotte without hesitation.
Lucy looked at Arthur and asked apprehensively, "Dad, do you also think that I framed my sister because I was jealous?"
Her heart pounded anxiously as she stared at Arthur without blinking. Arthur sighed and patted Lucy's head gently.
"I know you've always been a good child, Velda. Like your name, you're our lost treasure.
"I know you don't want to make things difficult for me and your mother. Charlotte, on the other hand, is too wilful. Your mother and I will discipline her well."
Arthur
was clear-headed enough to
see the truth of the situation. Lucy understood what he meant, and she smiled. “I understand. Thank you for trusting me, Dad. How do you plan on handling this matter, then?"
Lucy was referring to the assassin on the ground. Arthur followed her gaze and pondered for some time before replying.
"Let's bury the assassin first. Since Spades dares to target the beloved princess of Charleston, they must face the consequences. Don't worry, within half a month, I'll eradicate the headquarters of Spades myself and wipe out the assassin organization once and for all." Arthur looked ahead with eyes of determination.
Lucy smiled faintly and replied, "My father is the best. Thank you. By the way, Matthew and I are tired, so we'd like to rest now."NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
"Alright, go on, then."
Arthur replied without much thought. He watched as Lucy and Matthew left the hall hand in hand before slumping onto the ground. Nobody knew what was going through his mind.
Lucy and Matthew returned to Lucy's room holding hands, but Lucy did not speak to him.
She just paced around the entire room with a hint of melancholy. Finally, she sat amidst the pile of gifts given to her by Arthur and Juliana.
Matthew approached her and gently
embraced her, saying with concern, "Wifey, if you want to cry, just let it out. Don't hold it in. Seeing you like this is breaking my heart."
Matthew's words seemed to have opened the floodgates of Lucy's tears, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.
