Lucy was not about to let Charlotte have her way. She waved all the staff members off, and they quickly left.
Charlotte was furious. She wanted so much to throw the glass of water on the table onto Lucy's face. She grabbed the cup and was about to throw the water when Matthew stopped her.
"You..."
Charlotte did not manage to finish her words. She exclaimed when Matthew stopped her with everything he got. Charlotte rubbed her wrist and realized that it was red from being gripped by him. She felt that her bones were almost crushed by him.
Matthew had always been a gentleman. He would never act violently when thugs harassed him at times during work. He would even treat them politely when dealing with them. Even Lucy rarely saw this sight of him when he was being impatient.
He ignored Charlotte's objections and took a seat at the table as if nothing had happened.
Matthew's voice rang out clear and crisp in the air. Everyone heard him say, "You shouldn't talk with your mouth full. Careful of being choked to death by your food."
Lucy almost spat out her soup when he said that.
Charlotte was probably not thinking clearly because of her anger. She pointed at Matthew's head and said loudly, "Do you know what you're saying? I... I'm the princess of this palace. I've lived here for so many years and have earned the right to make decisions here.
"How dare you go against me and give orders to the helpers at my home?"
She pointed at herself as her face was trembling from anger.
Lucy wanted to talk her down but realized that Charlotte would refuse to listen to anything she had to say. Lucy decided to fill up her stomach first. After all, the most important thing right now was to eat.
It was pointless to advise someone who refused to listen to reason. Charlotte happened to be that person.
Lucy finished the last mouthful of soup and got the maids to clear the table.
Since Charlotte was refusing to eat anything, they might as well have it cleared.
Charlotte watched as the food was cleared from the table. She ended up not having what she wanted. She could only stare at the table while feeling famished.
She was not feeling troubled over nothing to eat. It was not difficult to get food in the Charleston palace.
There were imported fruits from all over the world and unique snacks. The palace had everything. There was food from all around the world found in their walk-in refrigerator in the kitchen. There were high-end ice cream, chocolate, and many other types of food. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
There was no need to worry about having nothing to eat.
However, Charlotte happened to be stubborn. The maids had to make whatever she wanted even if she suddenly felt like having it. She was even adamant about the food not being repeated for every meal.
She would refuse to eat any dish that was overspiced. Even the plates and utensils had to be changed.
She did not treat the staff in the palace as human beings and would also prioritize herself over everything. It did not matter to her that they worked hard to serve her.
Even though it was their job to do so as the palace was paying them a salary, they should not be treated harshly.
The palace was currently

"You can choose to ignore me, but do you really want to ignore Mom and Dad's words?"
However, Charlotte was relentless as she said, "But they would understand me. You don't know anything."
