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 apanied her, not uttering a word. She knew what was going on but these were


    merely spections, and they couldn’te from her mouth.


    Princess Ava had been by the queen’s side for many years, and Lea knew exactly what ce 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.”


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    But given Chloe’s demeanor, it wasn’t the right time to sit her down for questioning


    Lea nodded, nced at Queen Julia, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered. “I believe the


    princess must have her own ns. 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 pce maintained their silence all the


    way home. Becky was still shaken by the p Ava had given her at the pce 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


    ss of water that the trembling maid had ced before her and drained it in one gulp


    Once she put down the ss, 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 pping 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 d that she at least had Barbara, a rtively 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 uing 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 ce, 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


    Becky’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 ns had failed and Yasmine had be 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 nning 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 coldugh. “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!”
