Chapter 269
"Alice, how dare you ask me what's wrong? You've truly disappointed me!"
Charlotte wasted no time in accusing Alice, but Alice was not one to be trifled with either. She hung up the phone right away.
Hearing the dial tone on the other end, Charlotte paused for a moment before hastily redialing the number, but there was no answer. She called again, refusing to give up until Alice finally picked up the phone.
"Charlotte, I'm warning you. Our relationship is purely business. I'm not one of your subordinates.
"Put away that princess attitude of yours. I've done what you asked me to do."
Alice did not spare Charlotte any face, and it was only then did Charlotte realize the true nature of her so-called friend.
She quickly dropped her princess facade and resorted to her cute act to appease Alice.
"I'm sorry, Alice. I was being too hasty this time. I'll be more mindful of my attitude in the future.
“Alice, you need to change your tactics! That woman isn't dead!" After admitting her mistake, Charlotte did not beat about the bush this time. She feared that Alice would hang up on her again. She went straight to the point and informed Alice that Lucy was still alive.
"What? That's not possible. Her husband publicly announced her death to the world!" Alice bolted upright.
Their organization had a reputation for getting things done. Dealing with a powerless ordinary woman was no exception, even if her husband was Matthew Leon.
Alice refused to believe Charlotte's words as she was confident in her subordinates' abilities.
However, Charlotte's next words made her furrow her brows.
"What do you mean it's not possible? Not only is that woman not dead, but she's bold enough to come to Charleston. She even entered the palace and met my parents. How else do you think I found out?"
Charlotte had lost control due to her anger.
After listening in silence, Alice could not help but say, "Are you sure? Could it just be someone who looks like her?"
The severity of the car accident made Alice doubt anyone could survive unless that woman had incredibly good luck.
Seeing as Alice still did not believe her, Charlotte gritted her teeth and said slowly on purpose, "If you don't believe me, why don't you come to the palace and see for yourself?"
Charlotte had no reason to lie to her, and Alice realized that she had been negligent by not sending someone to confirm Lucy's death at the hospital. “Alright, I apologize for my oversight. Now that the woman has returned and likely been recognized by the king and queen, consider it as me owing you a favor.
"If you need anything done in the future, just let me know. It'll be free of charge," Alice suggested a compromise to compensate Charlotte. However, Charlotte firmly rejected her offer. “No, she must be killed. She can't live in this world."
There could only be one princess in Charleston!
Alice sighed and fell silent for a moment. To be frank, she was not the one who had a huge grudge against Lucy.
She was simply doing her job for her employer, and Spades prided itself on its reputation for being reliable.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Alright, but you know how heavily
guarded the palace is. As long as she remains inside the palace, I won't have a chance to take action," Alice clarified the challenges.

Moreover, attempting to assassinate the real princess would be extremely difficult.
She had many subordinates, but she needed all of them to earn money.
Who was going to help her earn money if they were gone?
Seeing as Alice was still willing to take up the mission, Charlotte quickly said, "Don't worry about that. I'll find a way to get her out of the
palace. When the time comes, you know what to do."
