Chapter 408
Lucy's innocence was so endearing that Matthew could not help but laugh.
After years of being in the business world, drinking was a necessary skill for social gatherings. How could he not recognize the aroma of the wine?
Not to mention, this wine was produced from Leon Corporation's winery. He had it so often that he could instantly tell from the aroma.
"Leon Corporation has a winery in France, and I can tell by the first sniff that it's produced by that winery."
Lucy licked her red lips. "I didn't think you were that rich."
Matthew rubbed the back of her neck and said jokingly, "If there's one thing your husband has, it's money."
Lucy rolled her eyes and retorted, "You don't have to flaunt it."
Their arrival caused a stir in the main venue.
Just then, the doors to the second-floor banquet hall swung open. An extravagantly dressed woman stepped out it was Charlotte.
It seemed like Charlotte still had the same taste in clothing, always draping herself in extravagance without considering whether it even suited her. She simply believed that such grandeur was befitting her status.
Lucy could tell that Charlotte's taste in fashion was quite unconventional, but she doubted that she would heed any well-intentioned advice. Hence, Lucy would rather keep it to herself.
Charlotte had deliberately chosen a courtly gown that leaned toward the style of medieval Eurovian royalty.
Layers upon layers of lace adorned

Lucy had never seen such a combination before. It was almost like she had taken inspiration from a century-old pirated magazine.
The appearance of both Lucy and Charlotte caused quite a stir in the crowd. Both of them were the princesses of Charleston, yet their looks were polar opposites.
Naturally, the headlines could not steer away from creating gossip about these two princesses.
With her keen eyes, Charlotte spotted Lucy and Matthew downstairs. They were watching her.
Lucy actually wanted to pull
Matthew away as she did not want to have any conflict with Charlotte on such a grand occasion. Uttering a single word to her would be a waste of her breath in her opinion. It simply was not worth it.
However, since Charlotte seemed eager to compete with her, Lucy was not going to back down.
She had a taste of such bitterness before when people used to push her boundaries, thinking that she was an easy target. Little did they know, Lucy was not one to be trifled with.
Charlotte sweetly said to Lucy, "I didn't think you'd arrive so soon."
Glancing at Lucy's dress, Charlotte realized that it was not the one she had gifted her, but it looked sort of familiar.
Puzzled, she asked, "This isn't the dress I gave you. Why didn't you wear the one I gifted you? Do you not trust me?" Lucy smirked.
Was this why Charlotte had been waiting for her here? Despite the many reporters present, she still dared to ask such questions to make everyone think Lucy was the one to pick on her.
