Chapter 358
Just as Lucy and Chelsea got to the door, they bumped into someone coming their way.
"Lucy, what a coincidence. You walked out just as I came to see you. It's like we have a telepathic connection. Did you sleep well last night?"
Charlotte greeted Lucy with a fake smile. Lucy rolled her eyes inwardly. 'Telepathic connection, my ass! Tsk!' she thought.
"Too bad you came at the wrong time. I was just about to have breakfast with my friend, so I'm afraid I can't entertain you," Lucy replied with a forced smile, ready to pull Chelsea away.
Of course, Chelsea sensed the change in Lucy's mood, so she quickly shot her a questioning look. It seemed she wanted to ask, 'Who's that? What's going on?'
"It's nothing, just an annoying pest. I'll tell you later, so just ignore her for now. Let's go," Lucy mouthed back silently, but the two understood each other perfectly.
Charlotte's expression darkened while these two were exchanging glances and completely disregarding her.
Seeing as they were about to leave, she quickly intercepted them as if she had just noticed Chelsea. "So, you're my sister's friend. As the host, how can I neglect the guests in the palace?
“I haven't eaten either. Since you're taking the guest for breakfast, let's go together."
Charlotte said warmly, clinging to Lucy like gum. She went up to Lucy, wanting to walk alongside her like they were close sisters.
Lucy did not expect her to be so persistent in joining her and Chelsea. She could not help but wonder what she was up to.
Unable to come up with an excuse to reject her, Lucy quietly withdrew her hand and said, "If you want to, go ahead. No one in this palace can stop you from doing what you want anyway."
Sometimes, Lucy genuinely admired how shameless Charlotte was.
Despite hating Lucy to the core, Charlotte always managed to smile in front of her and seek her attention.
Lucy did not know what she was up to, but she sure knew that she was annoying as hell. If she had to sit with her during breakfast, she would not be able to speak freely with Chelsea.
Lucy's tone was already uninviting, and anyone with common sense would have found an excuse to leave by now to avoid creating an awkward situation.

However, Charlotte still forced a smile and insisted on following them even though she was infuriated by Lucy's words.
“Since your friend came all the way to visit you, how can I let her leave without properly entertaining her?”
Charlotte's high-sounding speech left Lucy and Chelsea rolling their eyes internally.
Indeed, only women truly
understood women. Who the hell
was she and what on earth was she up to? Chelsea had long seen through her from her conversations with Lucy.
Sigh, what a two-faced bitch! If she were not Lucy's sister, Chelsea would have lashed out at this bitch by now.
The group arrived at the dining hall, which was not far from Lucy's chambers.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The royal family did not dine together often, except for their morning tea gatherings.
Lunch and dinner were either served in their respective offices or chambers by the servants.
Occasionally, they would dine together on weekends, or during mid-month and end-of-month celebrations. Today, the only ones dining together were Lucy, Matthew, Chelsea, Hugh, and the uninvited Charlotte.
