"If that's the case, I might as well go back to where I belong and not be a burden to anyone here!"
Charlotte said agitatedly, but her actions did not hasten at all. It was just a show for Juliana.
Unaware of what Charlotte was thinking, Juliana angrily walked over to take the suitcase away from her hands.
She dismissed the helpers who had come to help and sighed, saying, "Charlotte, are you trying to break my heart with those words? Think about how I've treated you all these years. Have I ever mistreated you?"
Instead of offering immediate comfort, Juliana began lecturing her.
Flustered, Charlotte shook her head repeatedly and said, "N-No, you've always treated me well. I've never forgotten how kind you guys have been to me."
Regardless of what Charlotte truly felt, she knew she had to say things that sounded good at that moment.
Seeing as she finally knocked some sense into Charlotte, Juliana felt a slight relief. She continued, "If that's the case, why do you always break our hearts by talking about leaving us to find your biological parents?"
"I... I..."
Charlotte stuttered for a moment. When she thought of Lucy, she fiercely said, "I feel wronged. I didn't do anything to harm my sister, but everyone is suspecting me..."
Charlotte no longer accused Lucy of framing her. Instead, she portrayed herself as the victim while looking aggrieved.
Juliana sighed and sat beside Charlotte, embracing her and comforting her, "We just wanted to clarify things. You can't just say hurtful things to your family because you feel wronged."
"I-I'm sorry, Mom. I shouldn't have said those things and hurt everyone."
Charlotte apologized softly with tears streaming down her face. Although she was apologizing, she felt a sense of satisfaction inwardly. Knowing Juliana well, she knew that she had managed to bluff her way out of the situation. Content belongs

Juliana had made the same decision as Arthur, choosing to overlook the matter and put all the blame on Spades.
They did not want to speculate which daughter was trying to harm the other. They simply hoped that, after glossing over this incident, the two could reconcile and go back to being sisters. They were a family, after all.
“I understand, Mom. I won't mention leaving the palace again.”
Charlotte said obediently, looking at Juliana. Her goal had been achieved. So what if Lucy had returned safely? She had successfully rid herself of all accusations of trying to harm Lucy.
Seeing as her eldest daughter had
returned to her obedient self, Juliana breathed a sigh of relief and
continued, "How about you apologize to your sister tomorrow? She came back today after being frightened, so your words must have hurt her deeply."
Why should she apologize to that woman? Juliana's words almost made Charlotte explode with anger, but she managed to restrain herself.
She had just managed to shake off the suspicion, so she could not ruin everything now.
"Alright. Since it was my fault for saying hurtful things to everyone, I should apologize to my sister."
