Chapter 1420
Becky’s eyes widened Was she saying she wouldn’t attend the state banquet?! Fury coursed
through her. “Are you threatening me?”
“If you think so, then yeah.” Chloe replied without further exnation, going along with Becky’s
assertion.
Chloe not attending the banquet? Wendy would love that
What was the state banquet? It was where all the bigshots from around the world would be there. If
Chloe did a good job and impressed them, who knew what opportunities mighte her way?
Besides, when word got back home, she would be on cloud nine
But if she didn’t attend due tost minute issues, Chloe would end up theughingstock.
Wendy spoke softly. “Chloe, you can’t just decide whether to attend the state banquet on a whim.
The program has been arranged. How can you back out at this point?”
Chloe nced at Wendy, a smirk in her eyes.
Wendy continued, “I know you never care what others think, but if you’re going to back out, you
should at least let the production team know.”
Becky sneered. “You’re so full of yourself. If you don’t want to attend, then don’t. The world will keep
turning without you. If you don’t perform, there are plenty of people who will. It’s not a big deal. I can
take care of it with just a few words.”
Chloe chuckled and nodded, her voice indifferent, “Oh, is that so?”
Becky was so mad she could barely think straight. She had been bullied enough by Chloe in P City,
and she wouldn’t allow it to happen again now that they were in Y Country
Was she supposed to clean up this banquet hall? She had never washed a dish in her life, let alone
do this kind of dirty work. Dream on!
“Well in that case, Princess Becky, please also arrange for my performance to be cancelled. The
somewhat older man said, his voice deep and calm.
Both Wendy and Becky froze.

“Yeah, since you can arrange things so easily, cancel my performance too.”
“And mine. 1 never wanted to perform here in the first ce.”
“The Princess of Y Country has a lot of power and capability. Even though we won’t be attending
the banquet, we have learned a lot about the Y Country’s royal family. Performing in such a country
would be an insult to us. Go ahead and cancel our performances too.” The speaker, the leader of
an orchestra, dered
“And us too…”
Becky started to panic as she watched the entire banquet hall beginning to stir in protest. Wendy
appeared unwell as well. Becky’s actions were quite foolish. Even after Chloe changed the topic,
Becky still wanted to challenge her. That was enough!
However, Barbara considered Wendy equally unintelligent. Hopelessly dumb! She had easily fallen
into a trap.
Barbara knew that once these people made up their minds, they wouldn’t easily change, but with
the state banquet being such an important event, any mistakes were uneptable.
Mishaps would be uneptable, especially since the Queen was about to abdicate. What would the
consequences be if the Queen found out that all of this was caused by Becky?
Barbara had always maintained the attributes expected of a princess, including manners, speech,
etiquette, and social interactions. She even embraced subjects she might not have favored, all to
fulfill her role as a princess.
Although she wasn’t the Queen’s biological granddaughter, the Queen had never raised the issue in
all these years. Moreover, Y Country’s hereditary system had led to dissatisfaction among certain
factions. This could have severe consequences if someone less favorable inherites the throne.
Over the years, Barbara had consistently projected a favorable public image as a princess,
amassing numerous supporters. If nothing went wrong, she was undoubtedly a strong candidate for
the throne. If she allowed today’s events to unfold unchecked and the Queen discovered them, the
consequences would be dire, thanks to this imbecile!
“On behalf of my younger sister, I apologize to you all. She’s young and impulsive, and has some
misunderstandings about Ms. Chloe. I hope you won’t be too harsh on her. She alone does not
represent the entire Y Country royal family. I think everyone is very clear about Queen Julia’s
reputation in our Y Country and internationally. Please, I’d like to get your help to make the state
banquet go smoothly for Queen Julia. Also, Ms. Chloe, I sincerely apologize to you again for
Becky’s words and actions just now.” Barbara was humble and polite when she spoke, with an
apologetic smile on her face, bowing at everyone.
When it came to offering a perfect apology, Barbara always knew how to do it.
Chloe’s eyebrows twitched slightly as she turned to look at Barbara, who was smiling at her.
“Ms Chloe, what do you think?” Barbara asked once more. Chloe looked at her silently for a
moment. The two–locked eyes in a standoff, neither willing to back. down first
Chloe’s lips curled up slightly Her gaze remained fixed on Barbara as she said lightly, “Of course, I
don’t want to create a scene. As for my opinion…” She paused, ncing over at Becky, who
appeared flushed yet defiant. Chloe continued slowly, “As I mentioned earlier, I’m in a terrible mood!
When I’m feeling this way, I doubt my stage performance will be any good. I believe the other
guests wouldn’t deliver satisfactory performances either when they are feeling down. Being top
artists globally, they would never allow any ws in their image. If their performance is affected by
their mood, it would damage their reputation at the state banquet. Isn’t that a loselose situation?”
“Of course, we want to perform exceptionally well for Queen Julia; we just don’t know if someone
will give us the opportunity.” Chloe’s words resonated with the artists in the room, all of whom were
considered top–notch
However, Barbara’s facial expression noticeably stiffened as she focused on Chloe’s eyes, her gaze
slightly tightening Chloe’s point was that, regardless of what she said here, she wouldn’t change her
mind because of Barbara’s sake. She would only do it for Queen Julia.
While they certainly wanted to deliver a ster performance for the Queen, the question remained
whether she would permit it.
Now, Chloe was emphasizing that Barbara and Becky wouldn’t allow them to give their best for
Queen Julia.
How could she make such a statement!
