Before Lucy could process what was happening, Charlotte rushed into the dining hall with Lola.
“I see. I was wondering why you were so eager to kick me out. It turns out that it’s because you’re afraid that I’ll catch you damaging the crown Mom and Dad gave you!”
Charlotte wasted no time in putting the blame on Lucy. Without giving anyone a chance to respond, she instructed Lola, “Hurry and fetch the King and Queen. Tell them what happened.”
“Yes, Your Highness!” Lola, her maid, nodded and hastily dashed out.
Lucy was speechless. She finally understood what exactly Charlotte was up to.
“When did you see me damaging the crown? Shouldn’t you be grounded right now? Why haven’t you left yet? Oh, I see. You were waiting outside specifically for this.”
Lucy glared at her coldly. If this was how she wanted to play the game, Lucy saw no need to be polite to her anymore.
Ignoring Lucy’s sarcasm, Charlotte said triumphantly, “I saw it with my own two eyes. Do you even know what the crown represents? How dare you damage it?
"How audacious of you to think that Mom, Dad, and Theodore would always favor you? Well, get ready to face the consequences!”
Charlotte held her head high with a disdainful expression on her face.
Matthew’s brows furrowed as he cast her a cold gaze. “I’m warning you, if you dare say such nonsense again, I’ll make you sorry.”
Matthew had endured this pest for long enough.
However, Charlotte seemed unfazed by his threat as she chuckled. “You’re just a businessman. Who are you trying to scare? I’m telling you, today will be the end of Lucy!”
“Try saying that again and see what I’ll do!” Matthew stepped forward, about to go off. However, Lucy held his hand.
