Chapter 318
"B-But even if I'm not your biological child, you've raised me for so many years. I'm not an ungrateful child.
"I know how much my parents love me. Even though my sister has returned, I know my parents would still treat me the same. What reason would I have to harm my sister?"
Charlotte continued, shifting from accusation to gratitude. She played the emotional card heavily, which caused Arthur and Juliana to feel even more pained and guilty.
They apologized to her, saying, "We hear you. We know you're the best child. We're sorry, Charlotte. We shouldn't have doubted you. Both you and Velda are our precious children."
With just a few words, Arthur and Juliana were completely convinced of Charlotte's innocence. Charlotte smirked inwardly. The scene left Lucy and Matthew speechless.
"Thank you for believing in me. Since you want to confront my sister and my brother-in-law to clarify the truth, I'm willing to oblige. I don't want my sister to misunderstand me as that'll harm our sisterly bond. It'll only make you guys sad."
Charlotte pulled Arthur and Juliana to her side, pretending to be eager to confront Lucy and Matthew.
Matthew frowned deeply. She was a cunning woman, indeed, to be able to distort the facts so easily.
Once they presented evidence and Charlotte was not able to explain herself during the confrontation later, Lucy would have no choice but to destroy their so-called sisterly bond.
At that moment, Kent happened to bring in the body of the man who tried to kill Lucy yesterday.
With a cold gaze, Matthew instructed his men to lay the body down before he said to everyone, "This is the man who attempted to kill Lulu yesterday. In order to save her, I had to kill him."
To avoid complicating matters further, Matthew did not mention Yitty's involvement, only stating that he was the one who killed the man.
As he crouched down and lifted the white cloth covering the body, everyone retreated in shock. Then, he turned to ask Charlotte, "Princess Charlotte, you should recognize this man, right?"
No matter how skilled Charlotte was in acting, Matthew was determined to clear Lucy's name today.
"O-Of course, I recognize him. He's the one who kidnapped Lucy. Why did you bring a dead body here? Are you trying to defy the king and queen?" Charlotte hid behind Juliana, pinning another accusation on Matthew.
Looking at the dark and deep hole in the man's forehead, she felt lingering fear in her heart.
He was dead. The man was shot dead with a single bullet. Matthew was ruthless!Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"You say that he's a kidnapper, but why does he have the mark of an assassin?"
Matthew opened up the man's collar, revealing the emblem of Spades.
"I'm sure you recognize this emblem. It belongs to the world's top assassin organization, Spades. They were the ones targeting Lulu before as well, Do you think an organization like this would lack money and resort to kidnapping?" Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Matthew's series of questions left Arthur and Juliana speechless. Of course, they recognized the emblem.
It was said that anyone targeted by Spades would not see the sun the next day.
Moreover, Spades had deep ties
with the royal family in Charleston. The fact that Velda escaped death twice even while being targeted by Spades showed just how much God favored her. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Charlotte remained unfazed. Besides, Matthew brought over a corpse. There was no living testimony.
As long as she stuck to her story, what was Matthew going to do? In the end, she was just an innocent princess who knew nothing of the world.
