Chapter 419
Charlotte could not help but feel like Lucy was not an easy target today. No matter how hard she hit her, the attack never landed. Despite her efforts, Lucy remained indifferent while talking to her.
Charlotte's inner fury was burning hotter and hotter, but she had nowhere to vent it. It was like trying to scratch an itch she could not reach. It was an unbearable feeling!
Lucy knew exactly what was going on in Charlotte's mind. She was trying to drive a wedge between her and Matthew. She had seen such tactics before, but Charlotte's words were too unconvincing.
Anyone could tell that Matthew and the singer were just having a polite conversation as they kept a respectful distance without any inappropriate behavior.
If Lucy had not been attentive, she would have fallen for Charlotte's trick and gotten angry.
Seeing as her attempt to provoke Lucy had been in vain, Charlotte had to shift the conversation elsewhere.
She glanced at the exquisitely packaged golden hairpin beside Lucy, feeling a surge of jealousy.
She was determined to pry the golden hairpin from her hands.
"Lucy, can I have a look at the golden hairpin? Mom has never shown me it before."
"What's there to look at?"
Lucy became wary all of a sudden as if the golden hairpin was her entire world. She would never let Charlotte lay a finger on it.
Charlotte cursed Lucy in her mind for being so cautious and suspicious of her, but then she thought that if she could defeat Lucy, she would be the owner of the hairpin. There was no need to rush things.
"I just want to take a look. Can't I?"
"Are you sure you just want to take a look?" Lucy looked at her skeptically.
Fine... Lucy thought that she should not argue with Charlotte over such a trivial matter. A look would not hurt, but touching it was out of the question.
"I don't mind letting you take a look, but Mom and Theodore have instructed me to take good care of this hairpin. It's very valuable, and I'm supposed to keep it safe in the palace with multiple layers of protection to prevent any damage or theft." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Charlotte blushed at her words, knowing that she was referring to the crown incident.
She softly muttered, "I just want to take a look, Lucy. Why are you accusing me like that?"
"It's not an accusation but a warning. I hope you understand."
Lucy picked up the golden hairpin that was packaged in a transparent box with a ribbon wrapped around it.
The golden hairpin was different
from the classical royal style. It contained elements from the pre-Columbian era, and the
gemstones embedded in it were in different shades of green, exuding elegance and luxuriousness. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

It did not take an expert to tell that it was an extremely valuable item.
"Hey... I haven't finished looking at it yet. Why did you take it back?"
"Didn't you say you just wanted to take a look? Well, you've already had a look, so that's enough."
Lucy carefully placed the golden hairpin beside her.
Charlotte was fuming, but since they were orders from Juliana, she dared not disobey them.
Charlotte and Lucy continued their
conversation, with Charlotte trying to probe into Lucy's thoughts and
emotions. Lucy always skillfully
