"So she's the one..." Queen Julia's eyes were glued to the tall, slender figure on stage. She couldn't tear her eyes away from the woman. Even her heart was beating faster than usual. A strong sense of familiarity made Julia tense all over.
Judging by her age, the woman in front of her clearly wasn't her Jasmine. Moreover, her features also greatly differed from those of Jasmine in her memory. But why did she always feel like she saw a hint of Jasmine in the woman's eyes?
And her powerful aura was also making her heart race. Why couldn't she control herself and why did she have the urge to hug her?
At some point, Julia's eyes were filled with intense longing and passion.
Was it just because the girl was too charismatic? Yes, otherwise, how could she have attracted a man like Mr. Harper? It must have been her illusion, right?

Ever since Chloe took the stage, Queen Julia's aura had noticeably changed.
Barbara had always been sensitive to Queen Julia's first meeting with Chloe. Seeing Queen Julia's current state, she became anxious. She couldn't help but glance at the person on stage.
There was such a big distance between Chloe and Queen Julia, and this was their first meeting. They didn't have any conversation, so why was Queen Julia reacting so strongly?
Could it be that blood relations really unknowingly drew two people closer? No, how could that be? They didn't even look alike!
Barbara gritted her teeth, glanced at Becky, who was glaring at Chloe, and whispered, "Does the Queen know Ms. Chloe?"
Upon hearing Chloe's name, Becky immediately said unhappily, "Who is she? What makes her worthy of the Queen's notice? the Queen is busy all day. She doesn't have time to care about a nobody."
Barbara glanced at Becky. "This is not the time for you to throw a tantrum. You should learn from others' strengths. Her companies are all thriving, she’s been the internationally renowned leading perfumer for three consecutive years, and now even got invited to perform at the state banquet…"
Becky rolled her eyes impatiently, saying, "You're always praising others and not seeing your own strengths! You can play the piano too. Aren't you better than her? The arrangement of this program is unreasonable. Why would they schedule two piano performances together? Aren't they afraid the audience will get bored?"
Becky's voice was loud, and the surrounding guests all heard her words.
"Becky, watch your mouth!" Barbara immediately reprimanded Becky in a low voice, shaking her head disapprovingly at her.
"I didn't say anything wrong. The content of this program does indeed overlap! You just performed a piece in the Z Country style, and Chloe is also from the Z Country, so her performance must also be characterized by national traits, right? This is supposed to be a piano program, yet all we hear is the Z Country style. It really grinds my gears!"
Queen Julia sat in the middle, her face turning extremely unpleasant. The people around her all looked over, making her feel very embarrassed.
"Princess Becky, you need to mind your words!" Lea felt the sudden change in Queen Julia's mood and quietly reminded Becky.
"Mind my words? I am minding my words. With so many distinguished guests here, we should, of course, provide them with the best treatment. This program arrangement is just unreasonable."
"Becky! If you say one more word, you must leave immediately!" Queen Julia's voice was low, showing her anger, which scared Becky.
"Your Majesty…"
“Becky!” Barbara suddenly reprimanded in a low voice. “You think the arrangement of the state banquet is inappropriate? Do you know who that would embarrass?”
Becky was stunned, and her face turned pale. Looking at Queen Julia's displeased face, she felt even more flustered.
But Becky's words did have some influence on other people. Although no one said anything, their faces clearly showed boredom.
