Chapter 1680
Lea stood by Queen Julia, and a look of heartfelt sympathy had spread across her face.
I’ve been keeping an eye on them, but something this big has happened, and I was kept in the dark… Who kept this
from me? Lea…”
Lea slightly shook her head with her eyes half–closed. Maybe we should summon those who were arranged to look
into it”
Queen Julia, looking exhausted, shook her head. “If they wanted to pull something under my nose, they wouldn’t
make it too obvious. If she could hide it from me, she could surely hide it from my people.
Pausing her words, Queen Julia continued, “But why would she do that?‘c2
Lea quietly accompanied her, not uttering a word. She knew what was going on but these were merely
speculations, and they couldn’t come from her mouth.
Princess Ava had been by the queen’s side for many years, and Lea knew exactly what place she held in the
queen’s heart. There were certain things she couldn’t just blurt out, even if she was sure about themh. Moreover,
the queen knew what was happening. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be in this state
“All these years. I don’t know what she has been hiding and doing
Lea sighed softly Your Majesty, perhaps you should speak to the princess again. Her current attitude is probably due
to what she’s been through
Queen Julia remained silent for quite a while before finally taking a deep breath, gesturing for Lea to stop talking
“I should indeed ask her. All these years, what have I missed.”
But given Chloe’s demeanor, it wasn’t the right time to sit her down for questioning
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLea nodded, glanced at Queen Julia, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered. “I believe the princess must have
her own plans. Given her nature. I don’t think she would want to involve others in her affairs Your involvement
might lead things to an irreversible state. After all these years.
Queen Julia looked indifferent. A cold aura was encircling her features. Her eyes were deep and dark, glimmering
with a cold light.
“If she has indeed done something else, I will never forgive her.”
On the other hand, the mother and daughters who left the palace maintained their silence all the way home. Becky
was still shaken by the slap Ava had given her at the palace The moment they stepped inside, she couldn’t help but
burst into tears.
Ava looked extremely displeased. Hearing her cries made her headache even more unbearable. She sat down on
the sofa, rubbing her temples, only to be startled by a loud crash. She looked up to see a vase smashed near
Becky’s feet
Barbara yelled, “What are you crying for? Can’t you do anything but cause trouble and cry?!”
Becky’s crying was instantly silenced. Tears still lingered on her face, but she stared incredulously at Barbara, who
was emitting a fierce aura.
Becky was stunned. “You you’ve gone mad!”
Barbara’s face turned pale with anger. After a while, she managed to shift her angry gaze, closed her eyes, took a
couple of deep breaths, and then slowly sat down on the sofa. She picked up the glass of water that the trembling
maid had placed before her and drained it in one gulp
Once she put down the glass, she appeared somewhat calmer. Her tone also softened a bit.
“Even if grandma is our grandma, her status is different. You can do however you want at home, but you need to
know how to behave in front of her We all don’t like Chloe, but she is now acting as Grandma’s real granddaughter
She’s just been found after all these years, Can you imagine how Grandma feels about her right now? You
persistently belittle her in front of Grandma, so how do you think she views you? You still haven’t learned your
lesson after being punished once or twice! You even dared to call Chloe a wild girl in front of Grandma if it wasn’t
for Mother slapping you, I think you might ve been stripped of your princess title on the spot!”
Becky’s face turned pale at Barbaras words. “How could that be possible? I’ve been by Grandma’s side since i was
a child. How could she strip me of my title? Even though we havent had a princess coronation ceremony, everyone
in the Y Country knows we are the princesses. Even if Grandma is angry, she couldn’t just strip me of my title! Who
the hell is Chloe?”
Barbara sneered, “What do you think? What is she?”
Becky opened her mouth, but only managed to stutter, ‘She’s just an imposter Grandma must’ve been tricked into
believing her!”
Barbara took a deep breath and decided not to engage with this fool anymore
Ava was glad that she at least had Barbara, a relatively rational daughter if she was like Becky, Ava would have died
out of frustration
Becky felt wronged, but once she calmed down, all she could think of was the way Chloe looked in that gown, how
she was about to attend Fiona s banquet, and her upcoming coronation ceremony Each thought fueled her envy
and jealousy
“Mom what should we du? Are we just going to let her get away with this? Today she’s taken my sisters place, who
knows what she’ll say to Grandma next. I don’t know how Grandma will treat us Now because of Chloe, she’s
treating us coldly
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBecky’s words made both Ava and Barbaras expressions turn grave Avas brow furrowed even deeper She had
initially thought that eliminating Yasmine and her daughter in the P City would solve all problems, but now that their
plans had failed and Yasmine had become alert, it difficult to make a more Now, her only option might have been to
target Chloe
The living room fell silent
After a good ten minutes. Barbara was the first to stand up, calmly saying. I’m a bit tired I’m going up to reat”
increasingly
Ava watched her leave, and her eyebrows were twitching slightly Becky was even more confused Not wanting to be
alone with Axa, she made up
excuse and left as well
10:361
Athen went upstairs herself, directly entering Barbara’s room
Barbara had just changed her clothes, and seeing Ava, she didn’t seem surprised. Ava got straight to the point. “Are
you planning on doing something to Chloe?
Barbara was sitting in a hanging chair by the bedroom window, gently swaying. “Do nothing, and just watch as they
strip away everything we have bit by
bit?
Ava furrowed her brow 1ll figure something out.
Barbara let out a cold laugh. “Figure it out? How many years have you been trying to figure it out? And what has
been the result? You should focus on keeping a closer eye on Becky. Otherwise, our standing in Grandma’s eyes will
soon be ruined by her!”
