Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 528

Koven sighed. “After finding out that I wanted to be your mentor, she started to reach out to me, trying to isolate you by pulling me in.”

“Is she really that childish?”

How dare Charlotte still resort to such cliche tactics? Lucy almost found it degrading. “Lucy, you need to understand that these methods may sound cliche, but they work. The scariest part is that she’s taking advantage of other people’s kindness.”

Just the mention of Charlotte’s name seemed to burden Lucy endlessly. If that was the case, she was going to confront her head-on.

“What conditions did she offer you?”

Koven waved his hand dismissively. “Forget about it. I won't accept any amount of money from her. I even wanted to tear up the dress she asked me to make. After the way she insulted me, I would never agree to anything she said.

“Lucy, the reason Charlotte is targeting me is because of our relationship, so you should think carefully about how she might use the same tactic on others. If she already tried to win me over, she might do the same to those around you—even the household maids.

"You really need to be careful. If you have close friends, they have to be wary of her too. Her ways may be lame, but they work.

“Money isn’t everything, but without it, there’s little you can do. Once she captures the greed of certain people, things can quickly spiral out of control. More importantly, I want to remind you that the power dynamics in the palace are complex. You probably know that better than I do.”

Even Koven, an outsider, understood how intricately intertwined the royal family’s relationships were in Charleston, especially considering the interests of other nobles. It was a tangled web that was hard to unravel.
