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

The moment they stepped into the room, Charlotte's face twisted with disgust.

Lucy was shocked at how quickly Charlotte's smile vanished. As soon as the door shut behind them, Charlotte's sneer was as sharp as thorns. She looked at Lucy like she was something she wanted to squash.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Lucy realized that being too kind had only given Charlotte the perfect way to hurt her. She would not make that mistake again.

"Charlotte, if you don't have anything important to say, I'm going back downstairs."

Lucy was totally fed up with Charlotte's fakeness.

She had thought Charlotte was actually going to give her some clothes, but the moment she stepped into the room, she knew something was not right.

Charlotte's smug grin was a clear warning sign. Was she planning to pick a fight right there in that room?

Charlotte suddenly realized that maybe she had gone a bit too far with her own attitude.

She calmed down and forced a smile. "Lucy, don't go yet. I told you I had a dress for you, and I wouldn't lie about that."

She then headed over to her enormous wardrobe.

Charlotte had begged the queen to make this wardrobe for her a wardrobe made entirely of gold.

It was filled with her prized possessions-fancy court dresses and all her favorite skirts.

Charlotte loved to show off, and those items were a must-have for her.

She always wanted the best and would sweet-talk Juliana into getting her whatever she wanted. Juliana, not wanting to let her down, had people scour the kingdom for the finest clothes.

By then, Charlotte's wardrobe had enough clothes to last an ordinary person a lifetime, maybe two.

Charlotte had tricked Lucy into coming to her room alone just to show off how much Juliana adored her.

She just wanted to strut her stuff in front of Lucy.

Charlotte laid out

dout some of her most expensive skirts on the bed to

impress Lucy, not realizing that Lucy could not care less. All Lucy wanted was to grab the dress and get out of that place as fast as she could.

Charlotte was up to her usual tricks, trying to make Lucy feel out of place. She started to brag about her collection of dresses.

"This one's from the 16th century, worn by a gorgeous princess in the palace. I begged our mom to get it at an auction. It wasn't cheap!"

Lucy was smart and did not miss a thing. She knew exactly what Charlotte was hinting at. However, she just yawned and said calmly, "What about the dress you promised me? I'll grab it and head out."

Charlotte thought Lucy was

embarrassed and wanted to escape the conversation. She would not let that chance to show off slip away "Look at this dress, Lucy. Our mom bought it for me at Charleston's biggest auction last year. It cost a fértune, and it's covered in tiny diamonds!"

Charlotte flaunted the dress, pointing out the sparkling diamonds on the hem. Lucy could not help but think how heavy it must be. It would be a pain to carry, let alone dance in. It was pretty but totally not

Swactical.

Charlotte was too busy showing off to notice the unimpressed look on Lucy's face. "If you're not going to give me the dress, I should get going. Matthew's waiting for me at home."

Lucy had had enough of Charlotte's babbling. She was ready to leave.
