Chapter 319
What would a princess who lived in seclusion know about assassin organizations? Of course, Charlotte would be easily deceived.
"Is that so? A ruthless assassin showed mercy to Princess Charlotte and even went out of his way to come up with a story to lie to her. He really put in a lot of effort, huh?"
Matthew was almost amused by the situation. He thought that Charlotte was simply foolish, but it turned out that she had quite a way with words.
"Can the princess please explain to me why the assassin was hiding in the lingerie store out of all places? How did he know about our whereabouts? "Plus, if you had gone upstairs to take your measurements, there should have been designers, right? Why didn't I hear a single sound from downstairs? If I hadn't brought my own people to protect Lulu, she would've been taken away by the assassin.
"And why were you so insistent on taking Lucy out for a stroll alone? If I hadn't insisted on going with her, you wouldn't even have brought the royal guards with you. Who were you trying to create opportunities for?"
Matthew continued with a series of questions. Charlotte seemed flustered at first, but she gradually calmed down and smiled.
"I've explained all the reasons clearly from the beginning.
"As for why the assassin was hiding in the lingerie store, why don't you ask him? How would I know? Our shopping itinerary wasn't fixed, so he might've been tracking us all along.
"Why are you forcing me to admit that I harmed my sister? How does this benefit you? Perhaps you're holding a grudge against me because my sister was the only one taken by the kidnapper and I didn't call for help."
She turned the tables on Matthew, causing him to become unsettled.
What did she mean by forcing her to admit when she was the one who wanted to harm Lulu in the first place?
At that point, Arthur and Juliana could no longer sit still.
They had already firmly believed in Charlotte's innocence, so they began to question Matthew instead.
"That's enough. Now that Velda has returned, Mr. Leon, you don't have to dwell on this matter anymore. It's because Charlotte easily believed what the assailant said, which caused the misunderstanding. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
"Moreover, Charlotte was knocked unconscious by the assailant at that time. Even if she wanted to call for help, she couldn't. When she was brought back, she was crying and pleading with us to save Velda as soon as possible. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
"I simply don't believe that she could harm Velda."
At that moment, they had completely forgotten that if it were not for Matthew bringing Lucy back, she would have been dead by now. They were even speaking up for Charlotte.
At that critical moment, Lucy stood up and softly said, "My sister is lying. I don't believe that Matthew would unjustly accuse my sister. I'm the victim here, and no one understands the whole situation better than I do." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Her steady gaze rested on Charlotte, who was starting to feel nervous after she just recomposed herself.
Arthur and Juliana were also momentarily stunned. They did not expect Velda to come forward and accuse Charlotte herself. Could it be that Charlotte really...
“Charlotte, since you said that the kidnapper asked for five billion as ransom, please tell us exactly what happened when you encountered the kidnapper."
Lucy's determined gaze remained fixed on Charlotte, who suddenly became somewhat hesitant.
"D-Didn't you say that he's an assassin? He lied to me, saying that he was a kidnapper, and I believed him. Why do I have to repeat myself?"
At that time, she was convinced that Lucy was dead, so she spoke straightforwardly and left herself no room for maneuver.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
