Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love Chapter 502
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

Lucy tried her best to remain inconspicuous because she knew that the focus of today was on her brother.Upon seeing Athur and Juliana's arrival, Annabella curtsied.“Your Majesties, I’m Annabella. I’m honored to be invited to the Royal Palace of Charleston. Thank you.”“You’re welcome,” replied Juliana gently before pushing Lucy forward.“Annabella, this is Prince Theodore’s sister, Lucy. You two should get to know each other.”Lucy did not know whether it was intentional, but Annabella had not thrown a look her way. Now that Juliana had pushed her forward, she had no choice but to go up to Annabella, lest she disappoint Juliana or embarrass her brother.“Hello, I’m Lucy. Nice to meet you.”Annabella was immediately struck by Lucy’s appearance. She had heard rumors that the legitimate princess of Charleston was exceptionally beautiful and talented.Although Lucy had been living among the people, the royal family’s genes ran deep within her bones.Even if she were to live in p

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

As long as two people loved each other, they could overcome any obstacles to be together regardless of whether they were noble, royalty, or nobody. Why worry about these titles?However, from Annabella’s perspective, marrying into royalty was her priority since a union between royalty and nobility would be much more prestigious.In fact, it was rare for the royal family to marry the daughters of noble families as it was widely known that they often looked down on others because of their wealth.Of course, it was just a hasty generalization. Not all were like that, though very few were not.As the royal family of Charleston continued to grow, becoming the world’s second-richest family, many nobles became envious of their power. They might seem like they want to work with them on the surface, but they secretly think that the royal family means nothing to them.This was also one of the reasons why there were so few marriages between the royal family and nobility.“Theodore, I thin

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

It seemed like the sole purpose of Annabella and her family’s visit today was to form a marriage alliance with the royal family. They wished to use Theodore as a stepping stone to add prestige to their noble lineage.If Annabella were to find a more influential ally than the royal family of Charleston after getting together with Theodore, would she push Theodore aside? This suspicion might seem far-fetched, but given how she acted, it was not entirely impossible.Lucy remained disinterested in the small talk with Annabella.It was off-season, so many flowers in Charleston’s royal garden had not yet bloomed.Lucy had intended to admire the flowers at first, but now, she found herself unsure of what to do. Meanwhile, Annabella continued to ramble on incessantly.“I heard that Prince Theodore is interested in racing. Is that true? If I recall correctly, it’s because of the overwhelming affairs in Charleston that he had to abandon his dream of racing.”Lucy had heard Theodore brief

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

Although Annabella could hear the displeasure in Lucy’s tone, she brushed it off and continued to do as she pleased.“Love is unpredictable, you know. I can feel the chemistry between Theodore and me, so what you said probably isn’t true. I think what I said is much more likely to happen.”Lucy was puzzled. Where did Annabella get such confidence and audacity from? While Lucy would not dare to claim to fully understand Theodore, she could still tell what he was thinking through their interactions.At the very least, Theodore would never have feelings for someone as self-centered as Annabella, who only cared about wealth and status.If anything, Theodore would keep his distance from such people.Lucy could not bring herself to burst Annabella’s bubble, but she felt it was best to gently discourage her early on—especially since Annabella's target was her brother.“I agree with what you said, but I know my brother quite well, so maybe you could reconsider…”Lucy did not finish the
