Hugh chuckled at her words, but noticing the serious looks from the people around, he quickly got serious and whispered back to Chelsea, "Shh, just watch and keep quiet. We shouldn't say that..."
While Hugh was still speaking, Chelsea pointed excitedly at the screen as if she had found something amazing.
She said to Hugh, "Look, who's that? If I'm not wrong, that's Matthew, right? What's he doing at the Charleston princess' coronation?"
Matthew stood out in the crowd, his looks and presence making him as noticeable as a crane in a flock of chickens.
Chelsea saw him right away. Hugh, following where she pointed, just glanced over without much fuss.
Chelsea's mind was racing with thoughts, but Hugh's quiet words were like a splash of cold water, calming her down.
"At big royal parties in Charleston, they sometimes invite important people from other countries, like leaders and big business folks. Matthew probably got invited because of who he is."
That made sense, especially since they were told Matthew was away on business when they checked at Leon Corporation.
Hugh sounded sure, but Chelsea still felt uneasy. "It just seems to be too big of a coincidence, doesn't it?"
It was hard to believe it was just a coincidence that Matthew would be at the Charleston palace for a big party, right where Lucy might be.
Chelsea would only think it was a coincidence if Matthew and Lucy had nothing to do with each other.
While they were talking, the grand duke got everyone's attention.
"Okay, everyone's been waiting, so let's bring out tonight's star, starting with the queen!"
She had to be dreaming. She was imagining her best friend getting rich and spoiling her. She had to be seeing things. Her eyes were probably playing tricks on her.
"No, you're not dreaming. I think so too. If you're dreaming, then we're both dreaming," Hugh said, his words tumbling out fast.
The woman on the screen really did look a lot like Lucy. They were at least 80% or 90% similar. If it were not for the age difference, someone who did not know Lucy well might even think that woman was Lucy.
Hugh could not believe there was no connection between that woman and Lucy. "Does it feel like the world's turned into a fantasy?" Chelsea whispered.
Hugh got serious and said, "It's not a fantasy. Remember, you told me Lucy isn't really a Quinn. Maybe she's found her real parents."
That made a lot of sense. They had to see the princess to be sure. However, Chelsea still had one thing she did not get. "But why would Lucy need to fake her own death to find her real parents?"
