Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 278

"Oh, I guess I’ve misunderstood. My apologies.”

Matthew mouthed his apology, but his face showed no signs of feeling sorry.

However, Charlotte still smiled brightly and continued in a flirtatious tone, “It’s okay, Mr. Leon. I don’t blame you. You just don’t know me well enough yet. Once we get to know each other better, we won’t have any more misunderstandings.”

Her smile was radiant, but Matthew simply hummed in reply without saying anything more.

Silence lingered between them as Charlotte felt a surge of frustration. What kind of response was that? It seemed like he did not take her seriously at all.

She could not believe it. With her beauty and status, how dare a mere CEO disregard her like this?

Although Charlotte knew who Matthew was, she had yet to fully grasp the significance behind his status.

While women in Charleston could engage in politics, Charlotte did not have the aptitude for it.

Whether it be politics or business, the discussions her parents had with the ministers sounded like gibberish to her.

Moreover, she was not good at mathematics. She was already struggling with basic arithmetics, let alone more complex concepts.

Feeling sorry for her, Arthur and Juliana pampered her by not involving her too much in political affairs.

Plus, her long-standing pride as a princess led her to believe that all businessmen were the same.

So what if Matthew could make money and earn the title of the world’s number one businessman? Could he surpass her father, the supreme ruler?

No matter how handsome Matthew was, Charlotte still looked down on him.

When a man found it hard to compliment a woman’s beauty, he would often resort to calling her lovely.

Not to mention, saying 'there’s no comparison' was even worse. Since there was no definite answer, it left room for interpretation.

In this case, Matthew was trying to convey that Charlotte could not hold a candle to Lucy.

If Lucy had not lost her memory, she would be laughing out loud and praising her husband’s sharp tongue for reaching new heights.

If not for Lucy’s longing for familial love and Charlotte being Lucy’s 'sister' by name, Matthew would have expressed it even more straightforwardly.

As mentioned earlier, due to the lack of a definitive meaning in his words, Charlotte narcissistically assumed that Matthew was saying that Lucy was nothing more than a trophy wife. She was nothing compared to her intelligence and loveliness.

Realizing this, Charlotte lifted her chin proudly and ran her fingers through her curly hair.
