Chapter 361
"I'm not so sure about that. What if she runs off and complains to your biological parents, saying we bullied her? What do we do then?" Chelsea spoke up.
Lucy shook her head and said, "I don't think so. She's already in the wrong for sneaking out without permission, so she doesn't even have the right to complain in the first place. She won't be able to win the argument."
"Alright, alright. Let's not think about it anymore. Now that the pest is gone, let's enjoy our meal."
Lucy's reasoning made sense, so Chelsea stopped dwelling on it. The group happily resumed their lunch.
Charlotte may have left the hall, but she did not leave immediately. She glared hatefully at the dining hall from outside while her maid approached her. "Your Highness..."Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Charlotte turned to her and smiled slyly as she watched the four people inside chatting away happily.
"Have you done the thing I asked you to take care of?"
The maid nodded, and Charlotte smirked, gazing coldly into the hall as she thought, 'How dare you embarrass me in front of others? Just you wait. I won't let you get away with it.'
After the annoying Charlotte left, Lucy, Chelsea, and the others enjoyed their meal.
All of a sudden, a maid brought an exquisite box to them.
"Princess Velda, I've brought the thing you asked for."
Lucy was left puzzled, but the maid went up to her and opened the box, revealing the crown she had worn yesterday.
"When did I ask you to bring this here?"
Lucy asked in confusion, bewildering the maid as well.
"Didn't you ask me to bring your crown to show your friends?"
The maid recalled what the other maid had told her earlier. Otherwise, she would not have dared to take such a valuable item without permission.
Lucy noticed the maid's uneasy
expression and decided not to
blame her. Instead, she asked, "It's okay, just leave it here. But... who told you that I wanted you to bring the crown?" Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
"It was Princess Charlotte's new servant, Lola."
The maid did not hide anything from Lucy, and Lucy frowned at the revelation.
"Alright, you can go now."
Lucy waved her hand, dismissing the maid.
Chelsea frowned and said, "What is that woman up to? When did we ask to see your crown?"
Chelsea was right. Why did Charlotte ask her servant to send her crown over all of a sudden? Was she in her right mind?
The few of them stared at the luxurious box, baffled.
Lucy was about to close the box when Hugh said, “Perhaps there's a problem with the crown. Why don't we take it out and have a look?"
Since Hugh said so, Lucy left the box open and took out the crown to inspect it.
As soon as she took it out, one of the perfectly set sapphires fell off.
It fell from under Lucy's nose and rolled under the table, prompting everyone to scramble to find it.
Fortunately, the gem was large enough not to get lost that easily.
Chelsea retrieved the gem and said helplessly to Hugh, “Hugh, you jinx."
Hugh just had to say something.
Look at what he did. There was actually a problem with the crown
he should open up a
olling business. Content

Feeling wronged, Hugh was only making a casual guess. What was even worse was that it was not just the sapphire on the crown that had fallen off. Upon closer inspection, Lucy noticed several missing diamonds, and the entire structure itself was crooked. Content belongs

What was this supposed to mean? Did Charlotte ruin her crown and send it back to her just to mock her? That was just ridiculous.
