Luckily, once Charlotte sat down, she did not throw any biting remarks or sarcasm Lucy's way like before.

Lucy let out a sigh of relief.

She had been feeling really tired lately. The idea of wasting time and energy arguing with someone like Charlotte just seemed pointless.

Lucy did not give her any more disdainful looks. From then on, it was best if they kept to themselves. As long as Charlotte did not bother her, Lucy did not have any complaints. However, if Charlotte tried to stir up trouble again, Lucy would not let it slide.

Dinner went pretty well, cozy and warm. Juliana saw what was going on with her daughters. She felt bad for the tough times Lucy had been through and wanted to make it up to her.

At the same time, she tried to calm Charlotte down and fix her bad attitude. However, Charlotte did not seem to listen, and it looked like she was getting worse.

Thus, Juliana decided to just wait and see, hoping Charlotte would not do anything too crazy.

After dinner came the family tea time, which was always nice.

Lucy had been so busy being charmed by Theodore during dinner that she barely touched her fruit. Theodore told a maid to bring today's freshly cut fruit to Lucy. Charlotte, who had been trying to keep her cool, felt ignored. It was like she was invisible at the table, and even Lucy did not seem to care about her. Charlotte's anger boiled over.

"Mom, can I have some of the fruit that's in front of Lucy?" she asked.

Juliana did not see anything wrong with what Charlotte said, but

Theodore knew better. Charlotte

was clearly trying to start a fightnet

She had her own fresh fruit, so why was she always staring at Lucy's?

It was like she was looking for trouble. Theodore stepped in front of Charlotte, who was about to grab something, and snapped his fingers for a maid.

"Please bring another plate of fruit from the kitchen for Charlotte," he said.

Juliana praised Theodore for being so thoughtful and helping smooth over the awkward moment.

However, Charlotte was not about to back down. She wanted to embarrass Lucy and prove that in the palace, her words were the only ones that mattered. Lucy meant nothing there. Even Juliana, her own mother, would take her side.

However, Theodore saw right

through Charlotte's sneaky plan and stopped her just in time. Charlotte was boiling with anger inside, but she could not show it in front of

Juliana's serious expresnove

She knew she had to be patient. If she let her jealousy of Lucy show, she might get into big trouble and maybe even have to leave the palace.

She could not let her anger mess up her big plans.

Charlotte held back her rage and watched as Lucy casually ate a piece of jackfruit, looking sweet and innocent.

Charlotte thought Lucy was a total

villain, stealing her joy and her family's love: What made it worse was that ucy, who was just an average person, was with Matthew! Charlotte could not figure out how Lucy managed to keep Matthew so close to her.
