"We can’t treat Velda badly just to avoid kidnappers from eyeing her. Don’t dwell on it, my dear. We’ll bring Velda back.”
Arthur continued to reassure Juliana, and they supported each other as they left Charlotte’s room.
Charlotte sat on her bed, the traces of tears on her face completely gone. Instead, she wore a cunning and triumphant smile.
‘Search all you want. Even if you scour the entire country, you’ll probably only find Lucy’s corpse,' she thought.
Why could they not just be happy with what they had? Why did they have to bring that woman back? Was one daughter not enough? Why did they have to be so greedy, wanting both their biological and adopted daughters?
She was already such a good daughter to them, yet they still were ungrateful. If that was the case, they could search all they wanted.
When they saw Lucy’s dead body with their own eyes, they would live the rest of their lives in pain and guilt.
When the time came, she would take care of Arthur and Juliana, making her the most filial, cherished, and irreplaceable princess!
That night, Charlotte slept peacefully while Arthur and Juliana stayed awake all night, waiting for news of Lucy.
“Any news?”
Whenever a guard came to report, Juliana would anxiously ask him about Lucy. However, without fail, the answer was always the same.
“Your Majesties, we’ve investigated the scene but found no traces. There was only one staff member at the shop at the time, and she didn’t see anything.
“All exits of the capital have been blocked, and orders for the secret arrest have been issued,” the head of the royal guards reported.
Although Arthur and Juliana were anxious, all they could do was wait.
