    Queen Julia woke up that afternoon. Chloe had been at her bedside all along. At first sight of Chloe,


    Queen Julia’s eyes were a little red with an unspeakable emotion.

    “You’re awake‘ Chloe whispered, her calm face bearing a small smile


    Queen Julia nodded slightly, turning her gaze towards the window. The sky had turned dark.


    Silence lingered for a while as if she was going over the events that had urred earlier in her


    mind, and then, she took a deep breath.


    Chloe didn’t say a word, quietly pouring her a ss of water and holding it gently. She felt


    mncholy, regretful, even sad, but she couldn’t say anything about it c2


    The harm brought on by the granddaughter she had loved for more than two decades, it brought


    about so much emotion. Even if she was the Queen’s dearest, she couldn’t intrude or judge


    “Chloe Queen Julia suddenly spoke softly, her hand clutching at Chloe’s dress.


    Chloe lowered her gaze to meet hers “Hmm?”


    “Do you resent me?”


    Chloe offered a small smile, “No.” Her answer was too simple, making it seem overly cold.


    Queen Julia pursed her lips, “So you do resent me”


    “Grandma, Chloe put down the ss, helping Queen Julia sit up. “Leaving all other things aside, I


    am actually grateful for the presence of those three women over the years. They were so spoiled


    and arrogant, using this incident as leverage, and it was not without reason. It was my appearance


    that shattered the rtionship you all had for so many years. You insist that I resent you, so doesn’t


    that mean you admit that I am the cause of your sorrow?”


    Chloe picked up the water ss again and handed it to her, “Actually, it wouldn’t be wrong if you


    resent me. I am your granddaughter, after all. You can’t really do anything to me”


    Queen Julia blinked, looking into Chloe’s eyes with a hint of surprise. She seemed to not believe


    that Chloe would say such cheeky words. She took a sip of the water, the temperature just right. “I


    don’t resent you. Although it is regretful, I prefer to know the truth than to be deceived. I’ve


    managed state affairs my entire life and everything has been clear and transparent. Yet to be


    deceived in this matter is a huge insult to my dignity. I can’t stand being kept in the dark forever”


    Chloe nodded. That’s good.”


    Some things, if taken to the extreme, would make anyone guilty.


    The news of Queen Julia fainting had attracted the attention of people both domestically and


    internationally. Ava and Barbara had been hiding at home, not daring to step out. Every day from


    morning until night, arge number of reporters were stationed outside their door. They were barely


    able to fend for themselves, let alone help Becky


    Ava was agitated, her eyes filled with bloodshot veins. Each day she would either shut herself in her


    bedroom or sit nkly on the sofa.


    Barbara was in a simr state She resented Chloe for her relentless pursuit, but she hated Becky


    even more for being a jinx. Bit by bit, their good image in front of their grandmother was being


    tarnished, and with a few words, their future was ruined.


    Forget about the right to inherit the throne, even their princess titles had been taken away. Their


    reputation now was in ruins, she couldn’t imagine what it would be like if she were to step out of the


    house now.


    Everything was over


    She believed that over the years, she had consistently improved herself in various ways and had


    cultivated her own character. She thought she was calm enough to handle any situation, always


    able to keep her mind in the best state. When it came to skills, appearance, personality,


    rtionships, and strategy, she believed she was second to none


    Over the years, she had never doubted herself. So no matter how terrifying Chloe’s reputation was,


    she never paid her any attention. But now, with just


    one move from Chloe, she was reduced to such a state


    With her fingers almost piercing her palm, she tried her best to calm herself, hoping to find a way


    out. But now, she couldn’t even leave the house, let alone enter the pce. What could she do?


    At this moment, she turned to look at Ava. She had always known that her mother had a lot of tricks


    up her sleeve. At such a critical moment, she couldn’t possibly just sit and wait for death.


    However, when she looked over for the umpteenth time, Ava was still in a daze She clenched her


    teeth, frustrated with Ava’s ipetence “Mom What are you thinking?”


    Ava turned to look at her, her expression somewhat dazed.


    Barbara suddenly stood up, looking down at her with a hysterical voice. “Becky is now locked up in


    jail. There are numerous reporters outside taking shifts to monitor us The title of the princess has


    been taken back. Do you have any idea about the current situation? You’ve been sitting at home


    like this for two days now. What are you nning to do?!”


    Ava blinked, her voice indifferent. “What do you want me to do? Aren’t you good at scheming? You


    could even scheme against me. Why haven’t youe up with a good idea now?”


    Barbara furrowed her brows, looking at Ava as if she were crazy. “Have you gone mad?”


    Ave also stood up, her bloodshot eyes staring at Barbara. T’m not in the mood to argue with you


    right now. You better stay away from me.”


    had not been in a normal state over the past few days. Barbara watched her ascend the stairs, with


    a gloomy look on her face.


    Queen Julia had been recuperating for the past couple of days, declining all visitors. And on the


    second night, someone informed her that Mr. Harper wanted to visit Queen Julia in the pce.


    The Queen, who had just finished her dinner and was currently enjoying the flowers in the


    greenhouse, smiled at Chloe and said, “You were gone for only one night, and he can’t hold back.


    When I first learned that you two were together, I was indeed very surprised. He seemed too aloof,


    not like a man who could stop for love. I even thought it was a bizarre thing for a woman to appear


    at his side. I also thought that he might be able to do anything except when ites to dealing with


    women. However, I didn’t expect that it was my granddaughter who conquered him in the end.”


    Chloe, who was always awkward when being teased about her rtionship with Damon, blushed.


    “You might have some misunderstandings about him.”


    He was far from the aloof man she had described, the one who didn’t linger for feelings and


    especially struggled to cope with women.


    “What do you mean?”


    Chloe smirked. “There’s probably no man in the world who knows how to please a woman better


    than him.”


    Queen Julia was sceptical. “He doesn’t look like that.” She thought that he was an emotional fool


    Chloe pursed her lips, and murmured, “He’s the one who got me that cat at Miss Fiona’s birthday


    party”


    Queen Julia was surprised.
