Chapter 360
"Lucy, what do you mean by that? Are you implying that me being here bothers you?"
Charlotte wore a look of incredulity, but inside, she was delighted.
She had been struggling to make Lucy act out. Now, she had the perfect opportunity to make Lucy accuse her for no apparent reason because of an outsider. This time, she was confident she could turn the tables on Lucy.
'Let's see how Lucy is going to handle this now!' she thought.
"If you still don't get it, let me put it bluntly. What I'm trying to say is..."
Lucy did not care anymore and was ready to confront Charlotte directly until Matthew interrupted her calmly.
"What my wife means is, Princess Charlotte, aren't you supposed to be grounded? Has Prince Theodore ordered the lifting of your confinement? Because we weren't informed about it."
Charlotte, who was still acting a moment ago, was now frozen in place.
Lucy initially intended to confront Charlotte directly and defend Chelsea, but after listening to Matthew's words, she snapped out of it. She changed her tone to say, "Yes, that's right. Has our brother lifted your confinement? I'll have to ask our mother about this."
Lucy admired Matthew's quick thinking. If she had lashed out at Charlotte earlier, she and Chelsea would have ended up at a disadvantage. Charlotte was an expert at playing the victim, so confronting her this way would help them not only defend Chelsea but also prevent Charlotte from accusing them of bullying.
Faced with Matthew and Lucy's questions, Charlotte was momentarily at a loss for words.
Chelsea could not resist asking, "What's going on? Isn't she a princess? How could she be grounded?"
She was genuinely curious, and Lucy did not hesitate to explain to her.
"She wanted to harm me, and when my brother found out, he grounded her. If she had not resorted to begging, you wouldn't have seen her at the ball last night either."
Originally, these were things she wanted to tell Chelsea in private later. However, since Charlotte insisted on embarrassing Chelsea, she saw no reason to help Charlotte preserve her dignity. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
"No way. Isn't she your sister?"
Chelsea looked surprised, but her anger was bubbling inside as her hatred for Charlotte grew.
"Lucy, how could you spread such nonsense?"
Charlotte pointed at Lucy with trembling fingers. Deep down, she was afraid of such matters being exposed to outsiders.
If the public were to find out, how would they view her as a princess?
She strained her voice, warning Lucy not to spit nonsense.
However, Lucy looked indifferent and said, "Did I say something wrong?"
Charlotte stepped back with her fists clenched. She could tell that Lucy had no intention of sparing her today.
"Fine, if you don't like me, you could've just told me and I'd leave. You didn't have to humiliate me in front of outsiders!"
She never mentioned her own faults
at all, only the fact that Lucy wanted to humiliate her. Then, she ran out, leaving the four of them

Lucy shrugged and said, "Forget about her. I'm used to it anyway. Now that she's gone, let's continue eating."
Seeing Lucy's indifference, Chelsea felt a little worried. Seeing how scheming Charlotte was, who knew what she might do next?
