Chapter 1684
William has been spending all his time with that woman. He barely comes back to the palace, and I don’t even get
to see him. How am I supposed to pay my attention to him, Mother? He ”
Queen Julia extended her hand to stop her words, feeling a bit of a headache as she held her forehead if she didn’t
intervene, Ava would undoubtedly vent her grievances, and Julia simply did not have the energy to deal with her at
the moment.
Ava paused, her expression frozen in the midst of almost crying, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
That’s between you and your husband. Ava. No matter how much I say, it won’t help. William has repeatedly
expressed his intention to bring that woman home, and each time, I’ve refused him. But his resolve hasn’t wavered
if you don’t fight for what you want, I don’t know how long I can refuse him for you. “He is your husband after all.
Here in Y Country, we’ve never strictly adhered to monogamy Most duchesses and countesses have sister wives,
and they all live harmoniously William is my own nephew, and yet, out of consideration for your feelings, I’ve never
allowed him to bring that woman home Ava, you can’t always rely on me to preserve your family.“c2
Ava clenched her teeth, a surge of humiliation and anger welling up within her. She had always been sheltered, but
now, somehow Julia had suddenly changed her tune
1 understand I’ll find a chance to talk to him”
“Good if you’re free, take Barbara and Becky to see him more often. Don’t always keep your distance, waiting for
him to take the initiative to compromise
Ava remained silent, her lack of respect evident. But she didn’t have the energy or mood to appease Julia at the
moment. As she left the room, she leaned against the hallway wall, her head spinning from the anger

Her eyes flashed with a deep resentment and ruthlessness. She could never tolerate this woman.
Barbara and Becky were waiting for Ava in the garden outside. They had seen their grandmother’s attitude
yesterday and wanted their mother to test the waters. If things were fine, they’d go in, if not, there was no need to
walk into an unpleasant situation
Occasionally, a group of young maids would walk by their conversations all revolving around the recently returned
Chloe.
“The princess who just returned is no ordinary person. I have been paying attention to her, and many of the
legends about her are true.”
“Yeah, I just commissioned someone to buy the perfume designed by her. I truly love it. She is talented and
capable. Now, she has suddenly become the official princess of our royal family. What a life! It’s absolutely enviable.
“Did you forget the most crucial point? Her boyfriend right now is Mr. Harper, who is held in high esteem by our
entire royal family. Although we don’t know his exact background, this treatment is sufficient to prove that he is
definitely not common. He was once the notorious CEO of the Harper Group internationally. He has the looks, body,
and aura that makes women’s hearts flutter! What woman wouldn’t like him? Even our royal family’s other two
princesses, anyone with keen observation would notice they are interested in him!”
“Do they still stand a chance? Mr. Harper and Ms. Chloe are already in a relationship. It’s utterly impossible for
them to break up for these two princesses Moreover, the princess is of the real royal lineage. Anyone would not
consider other options.”
“Pfft! If those two princesses heard these words, they might want to kill you!”
“Stop talking about it now. If these words reach the ears of those two princesses, it really wouldn’t be good.”
The girls sat back–to–back on a bench, wishing they could silence those gossiping maids
“Chloe, that bitch. How much more does she want before she’s satisfied?” Becky, the most easily provoked of the
two, spat out
Barbara’s eyebrows furrowed, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists. Chloe had the most prestigious status
and the best man. Everything she had was something to be envious of
No, not envious. She was a princess of the royal family, why would she envy anyone?
At this moment, Ava also walked over, and Barbara, seeing her expression, immediately knew the answer
The ride home was quiet However, when they were almost home, Ava suddenly spoke up. “Do you know who’s
driving the royal ear to the hotel tomorrow?
The driver thought for a moment. “It’s Otis.”
“So he’s off today?”
“Yes, ma’am
“Where does he live?”
The driver gave her an address.
Ava nodded, Becky looked at her in confusion Just as she was about to speak, Barbara pressed her hand, clearly
reminding her of something. Therefore, she didn’t dare say anything further and opened the car door to step out
The next evening at seven, Chloe, under Damon’s supervision, donned the outfit he had chosen for her
The loose dress concealed her belly perfectly The caramel color highlighted her skin, the long, loose sleeves
concealing her hands. Damon helped fold up a bit of the sleeve, revealing her delicate wrists
Ignoring her figure, her unique aura made the dress exhibit a different style on her. There was an inexplicable
sense of elegance

Chloe was surprised at how well the dress fit. Its simple design was actually filled with intricate details. It was
definitely a dress that could be worn as an evening gown
Her previous doubts about Damon’s taste were silently retracted. Not many would wear a knit dress to a banquet
though.
Damon finally helped her put on a coat, wrapping her up tightly before they descended the stairs.
Downstairs, a driver in royal uniform was already waiting for her by a luxurious car adorned with the Y Country flag.
Seeing her approach, he bowed politely and opened the door for Chloe to get in.
Damon escorted her into the car, and once she was settled, the driver closed the door, bowed to Damon, and then
got into the vehicle. These actions, while appearing respectful, effectively denied Damon the chance to get into the
car
Realizing the driver’s intention, Chloe frowned and tried to speak, but the car had already started moving. She
squinted, looking at the driver through the rear–view mirror “Aren’t we missing someone? Didn’t you notice?”
The driver looked up to the rear–view mirror, his gaze meeting Chloe’s I’m sorry but the Queen only instructed me
to take you to Miss Fiona’s birthday banquet. She didn’t mention anyone else. You may not know, not everyone is
entitled to ride in the royal coach. I’m simply following the rules.”
Chloe looked at him for a moment longer, “Pull over.”
The driver showed no signs of stopping. These are the royal rules. Even stopping the car won’t change a thing, I
beg your understanding, princess”
