Chapter 415
It was rare to see Matthew display such a helpless and sorrowful expression.
He was a master strategist in the business world, and everyone present would kill to work with Leon Corporation. He never had to worry about finding suppliers, but seeing Matthew's expression, Lucy grew uneasy.
"I was born into that kind of environment, and my family naturally wanted me to enter business too, so I had a lot to learn. Since I was a child, I never had much time to rest, which is how I've achieved what I have today."
To thrive in the business world, he must have endured a lot of hardships since young. His childhood must have been bleak. He probably sacrificed his leisure time for success.
"I know everyone has their own struggles, but I didn't think you did too."
“None of us are gods, Lulu. Remember that."
Lucy patted his shoulder and said, "You're different."
Lucy was quite skilled in comforting others. With just a few words, she managed to dispel Matthew's feelings of helplessness and sorrow.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
After sitting by the dessert area for some time, the bustling crowd fell silent.
The lights dimmed, and on the stage appeared Theodore, Arthur, and Juliana.
After Arthur and Juliana, delivered their opening speeches for the Wine Festival, Theodore stepped forward with a conspicuous golden hairpin in his hands.
What was it for?
Before Lucy could react, she heard Theodore calling her name, "Princess Velda."
Lucy watched as he held up the
golden hairpin, saying, "This golden hairpin was originally intended for the legitimate princess, and today, it returns to its rightful owner.
Q.UMS
She hesitated to go up and accept the golden hairpin, but Matthew whispered in her ear, "Go ahead, wifey. It's rightfully yours. Don't worry about what others might think."
By 'others', Matthew meant Charlotte, who was looking resentful under the dim lights behind the stage.
Although the stage lights did not illuminate her face, Lucy knew Charlotte's attitude toward her.
Charlotte might not be able to voice her grievances now, but who knew what she might do to harass her in the future?
However, Matthew was right. The hairpin belonged to her, and no one could take it away.
Lucy proudly lifted the hem of her dress and stepped onto the stage to receive the shimmering golden hairpin.
It was even more precious than the crown, with its dazzling blue gemstone.
On stage, Lucy expressed her heartfelt thoughts, “I'm grateful to reunite with my family in Charleston, and I wish nothing more than to live happily with them from now on.
"Of
course I'd also like to thank my husband, Matthew, for everything he has done for me. It was he who encouraged me and made me
realize that this hairpin is rightfully
mine."
Matthew wanted to stand below the stage and leave the spotlight to Lucy and her family, but Lucy insisted on pulling him up onto the stage.
"I hope all the reporters present can take a family portrait of us."
