Chapter 1720
Ava froze for a moment upon hearing this, then quickly stepped forward to block Yasmine''s path.
"What do you mean? What do you mean I''m about to lose my position as the royal daughter-in-
law?"
Yasmine looked at her coldly, “Isn''t it all because of your own indiscretions?"
Ava frowned heavily.
Yasmine smirked, which deepened Ava''s unease.b2 “What... what do you know?!" She lowered her
voice, unable to hold back her question.
Yasmine''s smile grew even broader, "I know that both you and your daughter are excellent
actresses. You''ve perfectly manipted the temperament of the Queen of Y Country for so many
years. I can''t me her for that."
The two women were now being honest. In some ways, Yasmine was happy. Because she and Ava
were never ones to put on a facade of false affection. If they were ipatible as fire and water,
then they should be openly confrontational.
Yasmine''s words frightened Ava. She said she and Barbara were acting. She took another step
towards Yasmine, her eyes tinged with a hint of blood. "What exactly do you know?!" Her tone
intensified, sounding as if she needed to know more details.
Yasmine''s smile was casual, "What I know is the purpose of your acts today. You should be clearer
about it than me, right? Why press me so aggressively? Why not ask yourself what you really want
to do?"
Ava''s lips turned pale, trembling uncontrobly. She stared intently at Yasmine, trying to discern
something from her expression, but Yasmine''s smiling face was making her so furious that she
wanted to rip it apart.
How could she possibly know? She must be bluffing, just to throw her off bnce.
How could she possibly guess what they were up to!
But she was unsettled. This woman, who was so cunning, made her genuinely afraid.
“What are you two talking about?" Queen Julia''s voice suddenly came over, Ava''s eyes blinked
hard. The gloom in them vanished instantly.
"No... nothing, I was just confirming some things with Yasmine." Ava exined with a smile, while
Queen Julia looked at Yasmine.
Yasmine smiled and said, "Indeed, she was confirming some things with me."

While they were talking, Ava had already walked behind Yasmine, grabbed her wheelchair, and was
pushing her ahead in a friendly manner.
The Queen frowned, her gaze lingering on Yasmine''s face for a moment, then she turned her head
away calmly.
Barbara looked at Yasmine with a puzzled and uneasy expression, and then walked towards the car
with Queen Julia.
On the way to the estate, Ava and Barbara both seemed absent-minded. On the other hand, the
Queen and Yasmine were engaged in conversation all the way, mostly discussing the development
and nning along the toad, how it was before, how it is now, and how it would be in the future.
Halfway through, Queen Julia suddenly said, "It seems we wont catch up with Chloe. I wonder if
she''ll recognize Brisa and William when she sees them?"
Barbara joined in, "Grandma, don''t you remember the shortcut to the estate? Why don''t we take the
shortcut?
Maybe we can still catch up with Chloe."
Queen Julia shook her head, "There''s a bumpy part on the shortcut. Yasmine''s legs are not well.
We should take the main road. Meeting at the estate is fine. We are not in a rush."
Ava gave Barbara a sideways nce, then lowered her voice in anger when she confirmed that the
Queen and Yasmine were chatting. “What the hell are you up to?! Your father often takes that
shortcut. What if we run into him?!"
Barbara smiled, “It''s okay. Grandma won''t take that road."
Ava still gave her a nce, "Then why are you bringing that up?"
Barbara smirked, "If Grandma thinks about itter, she certainly won''t suspect us."
Ava didn''t say anything else.
Barbara continued, "Are you sure everyone at the estate is well-arranged? There won''t be any
unexpected events, will there?"
Ava nced at her without speaking. The answer couldn''t be clearer. Barbara smiled and took
Ava''s hand.
Ava smirked. So what if Brisa was pregnant? If she didn''t want to keep that baby, it would never
have survived.
And this time, without her having to do anything at all, the baby in Brisa''s womb would be dead, and
the two obtrusive women, Yasmine and Chloe, would surely be condemned by all and never be able
to recover. Was it so easy to live a worry-free life in the pce as a princess? Their arrival had
turned their lives upside down, so how could she be content with that?
What belonged to her was always hers. This was determined more than thirty years ago. It was just
that they didn''t ept their fate.
Thinking that after today, these two women would disappearpletely from her sight, Ava''s smile
became more and more excited. However, when she unintentionally raised her eyes to the front, a
pair of eyes were looking at her with a seemingly smile on the car''s rearview mirror. Her smile
instantly froze on her face. The unease from earlier surged back up, making it difficult for her to
breathe. The unexpected stiffness and chill in her body were easily noticed by Barbara.
"Mom, what''s wrong?"
Her questioning voice rang out, and Queen Julia turned her head.
Ava didn''t dare to face Queen Julia, and pulled her hand away from Barbara''s. "Nothing."
After saying that, she nced at the rearview mirror. Yasmine''s eyes were no longer there. The
good mood she had just a moment ago waspletely wiped out by Yasmine''s look. She was
anxious and restless all the way.
Chloe was the first to arrive at the estate. The golden wrought iron gate slowly opened. The car
drove straight into the estate.
Considering it was just a royal estate, it wasn''t too big. Compared to the Dubo family''s estate
she had visited before, it wasn''t as grand.
After all, it used to be just a fruit ntation, and they probably didn''t imagine they would live here
permanently.
The car came to a stop in front of the apartment building, where someone had been waiting at the
entrance.
Jane was the first to step out of the car. An older maid, who had been waiting by the entrance,
quickly stepped forward, greeting her with a pleasing smile. "Princess Chloe."
The words had barely left her mouth when Chloe emerged from the car.
The maid paused, casting a puzzled nce at Chloe. Jane distanced herself from the scene,
casting a cold nce at her. "You''ve got the wrong person’ she said.
The maid''s face shed with embarrassment as she awkwardly approached Chloe.
"Princess Chloe.”
