Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 440

Lucy was not about to let Charlotte have her way. She waved all the staff members off, and they quickly left.

Charlotte was furious. She wanted so much to throw the glass of water on the table onto Lucy’s face. She grabbed the cup and was about to throw the water when Matthew stopped her.

“You…”

Charlotte did not manage to finish her words. She exclaimed when Matthew stopped her with everything he got. Charlotte rubbed her wrist and realized that it was red from being gripped by him. She felt that her bones were almost crushed by him.

Matthew had always been a gentleman. He would never act violently when thugs harassed him at times during work. He would even treat them politely when dealing with them. Even Lucy rarely saw this sight of him when he was being impatient.

He ignored Charlotte’s objections and took a seat at the table as if nothing had happened.

Matthew’s voice rang out clear and crisp in the air. Everyone heard him say, “You shouldn’t talk with your mouth full. Careful of being choked to death by your food.”

Lucy almost spat out her soup when he said that.

Charlotte was probably not thinking clearly because of her anger. She pointed at Matthew’s head and said loudly, “Do you know what you’re saying? I… I’m the princess of this palace. I’ve lived here for so many years and have earned the right to make decisions here.

"How dare you go against me and give orders to the helpers at my home?”

She pointed at herself as her face was trembling from anger.

Lucy wanted to talk her down but realized that Charlotte would refuse to listen to anything she had to say. Lucy decided to fill up her stomach first. After all, the most important thing right now was to eat.

It was pointless to advise someone who refused to listen to reason. Charlotte happened to be that person.

She did not treat the staff in the palace as human beings and would also prioritize herself over everything. It did not matter to her that they worked hard to serve her.

Even though it was their job to do so as the palace was paying them a salary, they should not be treated harshly.

The palace was currently undergoing an economized system which happened to be at the same time as the Wine Festival. This coincidence had caused the palace to cut down expenditures, but Charlotte was not having it.

“Charlotte, some things are best left alone. I know it’s difficult for you to suddenly change your luxurious lifestyle to a frugal one, but this is an important time for us to be cutting down expenditures.

"You can choose to ignore me, but do you really want to ignore Mom and Dad's words?”

However, Charlotte was relentless as she said, “But they would understand me. You don’t know anything.”
