Chapter 335
"Velda must be feeling unsettled but you weren't able to investigate this thoroughly. You let things be in a hurried manner. She must be extremely upset. She probably even feels that someone in the palace wants to harm her. That's why she was in a hurry to move out."
Theodore intelligently pointed to the crux of the situation. He even guessed the reason for Lucy's move.
Arthur and Juliana were astonished to hear Theodore's analysis.
"But... Charlotte is the one Velda is suspicious of. Both of them are your sisters. How are we supposed to continue investigating this? I refuse to believe that Charlotte would want to hurt Velda."Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"Charlotte has been feeling sad about this the past few days. If... If Velda.....”
Juliana stammered as she tried to help explain things on behalf of Charlotte. The words Charlotte had said during her temper had actually popped up in her mind.
Theodore looked at Juliana incredulously and said something that woke her up.
"What are you talking about, Mom? Velda is the victim. Whatever happened was full of suspicious details. I refuse to believe that Velda would try to hurt Charlotte.
"If both of you aren't willing to do anything about this, I'll investigate it. I'll make sure to find out the truth. I won't allow the culprit to get away with this no matter who they are!"
Theodore left Arthur and Juliana's bedroom without hesitation after that.
They stood stunned where they were. They initially did not think much about Lucy insisting on moving out of the palace.
However, they began to feel reproachful of themselves after listening to Theodore. Could it be true that Lucy was hurt because they were not willing to take any action over what happened?
Theodore was really angry this time. He was determined to get evidence and find out the real culprit behind Lucy's assassination. He wanted to find out for sure if it was Charlotte behind it.
Arthur and Juliana could not do anything about him and could only let him be. All three of them went to visit Lucy that afternoon.
By coincidence or on purpose, Charlotte was left behind to watch over the palace. Only three of them visited Lucy.
When they arrived, Lucy was painting in the garden on her own while Matthew was busy with work.
He was paying the price for playing truant the day before. He had to return to the office to finish his work.
Lucy was feeling bored on her own. She remembered how the view in the garden was beautiful, so she picked up her drawing board and set up her easel to sketch the garden's beauty onto the canvas.
She was halfway through when Theodore and their parents arrived.
Lucy was happy to see Theodore back from his fief and quickly went up to him.
"You're finally back, Theodore. I missed you so much. What do you think of my painting?"
Lucy stood sweetly next to
Theodore in hopes of being praised by him Theodore burst out laughing, and for a moment, he forgot about all his troubles. He took out a present from his back like magic.
“Our Lulu is the best. Your painting is wonderful. This is your reward.”
"Wow! You've brought me a present. You're the best. Thanks, Theodore. You're the best big brother in the world!"
Lucy was overjoyed to receive a present and kept heaping praises on Theodore.
Theodore had no idea whether to laugh or be embarrassed. "You greedy little thing. Your attitude changed the moment you saw your present."
Lucy was such a playful person and
could easily be cajoled with a
lollipop How could someone like
that have any bad intentions?
Theodore did not believe it for one minute.
"My attitude didn't change. I've always thought you're the best. I just like you even more because you remembered to bring me back a present."
