NovelEnglishChapter 1726 Claire Deals with it Calmly
She didn't look like she was lying, which made Jolie start to doubt her own judgement.
If someone was lying, how could they keep a straight face and steady heartbeat?
Jolie asked her again, "What exactly did your sister-in-law chere to do?" Her eyes darkened, hoping Claire would honestly
confess.
Claire's lips curled up slightly as she asked back, "lI don't know what the Captain of the Guards is suspecting? It was your queen
who invited my brother here, she took the initiative to propose cooperation, my brother and his wife have a good relationship, so
it's perfectly normal to bring his wife on a business trip, right?"
"What can a woman do anyway?" Claire added another question.
Jolie's eyes were still cold. Every word the girl had just said seemed reasonable, but she would not believe it.
Jolie examined her closely, looking her up and down.

Claire was actually very nervous inside, but she had strong composure and acted calm and poised.
Jolie thought to herself that she had really underestimated this girl. Her articulate speech showed she had a clear mind, and her
state made Jolie feel like she was not so simple.
"If the captain has nothing else, I'll be going now." After that, Claire walked past her and took a step forward.
"Stand still." Jolie said coldly, with an aura.
Claire stopped in her tracks, with her back to Jolie, and her heart thumped lightly.
But she told herself she must not panic, she had to deal with this woman no matter what she said. As long as there was no
evidence, she could not admit anything!
Three seconds later, Claire heard footsteps.
Jolie passed by her and once again stood in front of her.
The two women's gazes converged again.
"You spilled tea all overtoday on purpose, didn't you?" Although it was a question, it was spoken with certainty. A trace of cold
sharpness flashed in Jolie's eyes.
Claire's expression was still calm. "| already apologized to you about this. If the clothes are too dirty to wash, givea price and
I'll compensate you. How could | have done it on purpose? We have no grudges."
"Don't change the subject!" Jolie's face was cold, and she raised her voice a little!
Her tone showed impatience and strong dissatisfaction. "Claire, you deliberately spilled water all overtoday to stopfrom
following into the king's bedroom!"
The girl's heart sank heavily. She... could see through that?
The writer girl must not panic. Claire grasped Jolie's character firmly! But still bravely met her gaze, "You slander! Do you have any
evidence?"
At this moment, Queen Catherine hurried over, hearing the quarrel.
"What does it have to do withwhether you go in or not?" Claire looked really confused. "| was originally going to bring tea to
Prince Louis. | accidentally bumped into you and already apologized."

Their argument clearly reached Catherine's ears. She couldn't help but quicken her pace!
This Jolie was really looking for trouble.
Just before Jolie could speak again, Catherine grabbed her arm. "That's enough!" She lowered her voice to stop her.
"Your Majesty." Claire greeted her politely.
But Jolie was fuming inside.
Catherine looked apologetic. "Claire, go on, Jolie is a little muddled today. Don't take it to heart."
The girl smiled at her. "Goodbye, Your Majesty." Without even glancing at Jolie again, she swiftly left.
Jolie suppressed her anger, glaring at the departing back, but didn't dare act rashly in the queen's presence.
"Your Majesty!"
After Claire had gone far away, Jolie finally couldn't hold back. "She's just an outsider, why defend her so much?"
