Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love

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.

"Matt, let me handle this. Trust me, I can take care of it."

Matthew paused and kept quiet as Lucy walked up to Charlotte. "Did you tamper with my crown? Is this amusing to you?"

Lucy looked at Charlotte without a sliver of doubt. She was convinced that it was Charlotte because there was truly no one else who would do such a petty thing aside from her.

However, Charlotte stubbornly denied it, "I don't know what you're talking about. All I know is that I saw you damaging the crown."

Since she refused to admit it, Lucy did not force her either. She just felt somewhat helpless and puzzled.

"My return didn't affect you at all.

is it so hard for you to accept me?"

This was a question that Lucy had genuinely wondered about for a long time, but Charlotte simply sneered.

Why? Why were there so many 'whys' in this world? Could she not just hate Lucy for no reason?

"Do you really want to know? I'll tell you. Seeing your misfortune gives me joy! Why did you have to come back? I'd rather you die out there!"

Charlotte's expression was nearing madness, but Lucy looked at her indifferently.

"Fine. There's nothing else for me to

say. You hate me, and I don't really like you either. There's no need for you to put on a show of sisterly affection in front of me anymore. It's disgusting to watch."

Lucy was not some saint who forgave people for wronging her. Since they both disliked each other, there was no need to pretend otherwise.

As for the crown, Lucy did not think that it was that important. She just thought that Charlotte was being petty for no reason.
