Semua Bab Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love: Bab 501 - Bab 510

The first step was to get on Theodore’s good side, and this pampered noblewoman who had never worked a day in her life was a well-known heiress in Charleston.She was not well-known for her beauty or talents but rather for the numerous feuds she had with other noble families and royals behind the scenes.Annabella’s glamorous appearance did not match her personality at all. She was not unattractive by any means as her features were well-defined, but her malice and tendency to one-up others had earned her widespread disdain.Instead of showing remorse for her actions, Annabella became even worse.However, her reputation was only confined to a small circle since she had not directly offended any larger families or the royal family. Thus, Annabella was still primarily known for her beauty throughout Charleston.People’s impressions of her were that she was a beautiful heiress, with few other negative connotations.Theodore had heard rumors about Annabella before, but he wanted to se

Noticing how gentlemanly Theodore was, Juliana thought that he might have a slight interest in Annabella. Little did she know, Theodore was just going through the motions. He was dying to leave, but he hid it so well that it was completely undetectable.Meanwhile, Lucy tried to minimize her presence as much as possible by sitting at the corner of the couch. She picked up a pastry from the table to nibble on, effectively blending into the background.During the Wine Festival, she had to put on a facade in front of the many cameras, and she could hardly recognize herself.Now that she had finally taken off that mask, Lucy was determined not to repeat the same mistake. She wanted to be herself when interacting with others instead of living her life with a mask.Fortunately, Annabella and her parents were focused on Theodore, so Lucy could successfully remain invisible. Not only did she concentrate on enjoying the pastries, but she also listened attentively to their conversation.Juli

Lucy and Theodore could tell from the way Annabella was behaving that she was not being her true self.However, it was only their first encounter with her, so they might have biased perceptions of her.While Annabella was talking, Lucy wanted to step outside for some fresh air. After sitting there like she was invisible for so long, she thought that the garden would be a nice place to be.Lucy was eager to leave, but Annabella would not let her go. “Lucy, I think we should talk.”Why did it feel like Annabella was hiding something?Lucy wanted to refuse, but Annabella grabbed her arm in front of everyone, putting her in a difficult position.She did not want to seem disrespectful, but she also did not want Annabella to shift the focus onto her.Theodore wanted to intervene until Juliana spoke. Smiling at Lucy, she said, “In that case, why don’t you take Annabella around the palace for a stroll, Lucy? It’s her first time visiting, so she might not be familiar with the place. "Y

Why did Annabella have to put on a facade and portray herself as such?She was giving Lucy a headache, but Lucy could not just tell Annabella to shut up because she had not done anything to cross the line yet. However, Lucy could not stand listening to Annabella rattle on any longer. She wondered why Annabella wanted to drag her into the garden all of a sudden.If Annabella were genuinely interested in Theodore’s past, Lucy would be more than happy to share. For some reason, however, she did not think Annabella was worth her sincerity.Finally, after Annabella was done embellishing her life story, she pulled Lucy back to the palace.On the way back, Annabella asked an extremely serious yet absurd question, “I heard that Prince Theodore is especially nice to you. Is that true?”Lucy had made it clear to Annabella that Theodore was her brother, so it was only natural that he was nice to her. However, Lucy could not help but feel uneasy at Annabella’s question, especially with her

This scene alone was enough to prove how attractive Matthew was. In the eyes of many, he even outshone the glamorous stars of the entertainment industry, who usually presented themselves after meticulous grooming. Matthew did not need any of that. Under the spotlight, he was naturally the most eye-catching of them all.Having spent so much time with Matthew, Lucy had gotten used to his physical appeal, which contrasted with Annabella’s astonishment.Annabella had seen photos of Matthew in gossip and finance magazines but had never met him in real life.Magazine photos never did justice to how someone truly looked, but Matthew’s photos always managed to showcase his allure from all angles. It left one to wonder how charismatic he would be in person.Matthew was naturally cold and aloof. When he was not talking, his lips were often slightly pursed, but the most captivating part of him was his pupils. They were like pools of dark ink, and one glance was enough to draw one in.He ke
