Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love

"Don't worry," Alice responded simply.

Just before Charlotte ended the call, Alice seemed to have lingering thoughts about this, so she added, "You've been raised under the care of the king and queen for so many years.

"Their affection for you must be deeper than for that outsider. The queen may have given birth to her, but how could she compare to you? Why bother..."

Before Alice could finish speaking, Charlotte interrupted her without hesitation, "What do you know? Even the assassin is feeling sorry for their target now, huh? Just focus on doing your job." With that, Charlotte promptly hung up the phone, leaving Alice to chuckle and shake her head.

What was there for her to feel sorry for? Even if Juliana did not give birth to Charlotte, the fact that she was raised by them outweighed all else. However, some people just could not distinguish the difference.

Alice gently swirled the wine glass in her hand before bringing it to her mouth, downing it all in one go.

Meanwhile, Charlotte's expression darkened as she stared ahead with resentment. What did Alice know?

As long as Lucy was around, Charlotte would always be the adopted daughter. Who knew what would happen in the future, especially after Lucy spent more time with Arthur and Juliana?
