Chapter 311
After dismissing the doctor, Matthew went downstairs with a cold expression and instructed his assistant on what to do next.
Meanwhile, Charlotte had already been brought back to the palace. The owner of the lingerie shop often went to the palace to tailor lingerie for Juliana and Charlotte, so she recognized Charlotte.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Charlotte informed her that she was personally coming to the shop today to try on clothes and asked her to clear the shop of other staff members. Knowing Charlotte's quirks, the lingerie shop owner readily agreed, leaving only one attendant and one designer to take measurements. When the attendant finally noticed the unconscious princess and reported it to her boss, she dropped everything at once.
Her first instinct was to wake Charlotte up, but no matter what she tried, Charlotte would not wake up. Afraid that she would be held responsible, she hurriedly closed the shop and notified the royal guards to take Charlotte back to the palace.
While the commotion unfolded in the alley behind the lingerie shop, the owner was desperately trying to revive Charlotte.
Seeing her so anxious, the attendant dared not report the situation in the alley.
When Yitty fired her gun, the royal guards were busily escorting Charlotte back to the palace.
No one noticed that Lucy had been taken away, except for Matthew. All of them were concerned about Charlotte's safety. Arthur and Juliana anxiously stayed by Charlotte's bedside, while Theodore just so happened to be out inspecting his fief. When Lucy was brought back to the ancient castle by Matthew, Charlotte slowly regained consciousness in her room. Her fainting act was just for show, so the man was not too rough with her.
Upon waking up, Charlotte pretended to look around until she saw Arthur and Juliana. Then, she deliberately feigned confusion, asking, “Where am I? Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
“Charlotte, my child. Why did you faint inside the lingerie shop outside the palace? Tell me. What happened?"
Hearing Juliana say that, Charlotte
suddenly sat up with a look of realization and panic. "Lingerie shop? Oh no. Has my sister and brother-in-law returned? Quick, we must save my sister!" Content
Seeing her reaction, Arthur's and Juliana's hearts raced as they asked, "Velda? What does this have to do with Velda? Isn't she in her room?" Arthur and Juliana did not know yet!
Upon hearing that, Charlotte felt a surge of joy in her heart. Lucy had not returned, which meant that her plan worked!
She bet that in a couple of days, she would hear news of Lucy's death. Perhaps Lucy might even have experienced some inhumane torture before her death!
Despite her inner joy, Charlotte put on a sad look and suddenly burst into tears as she held her face.
"It's all my fault. Dad, Mom, I went out of the palace with my sister and brother-in-law.
"I thought that since my sister was finally back, I should bond with her, so I invited her to go shopping with me.
"She agreed and even suggested bringing her husband along. I thought that since her husband was there, we wouldn't need to bring guards.
“We were having a good time
shopping at first, but when we got to the lingerie shop, my brother-in-law had to wait downstairs because the area was only for women.
"My sister and I encountered a fierce-looking man upstairs who called out my sister's name. He was clearly there for my sister.
"W-We were both terrified, so we
asked him what he wanted. He said he heard that the royal family'sdost treasure had been found, and he was in need of money.
"Then, he knocked my sister unconscious and took her away."
