The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1441

Phoebe gave a cold smirk but didn't say a word. She just pushed Wendy towards Mathew.

"Prince Mathew, hi, I'm Wendy..."

Mathew glanced at her, eyes calm as a lake. "Can I help you?"

Wendy pursed her lips slightly, laughing. "Princess Ava is my aunt, and I'm good friends with Barbara and Becky. I'm really grateful for everything you've done for them over the years..."

"You got it all wrong," Prince Mathew replied, a blank expression on his face. "I never considered Barbara and Becky as my sisters..."

Wendy's face stiffened slightly. "Have they upset you? They grew up in the palace, so you must know what they're like..."

"I have my own sister, but they are not it."

As the prince of Y Country, Mathew had an image to maintain. After the chaos at last night's state banquet, he couldn't afford to stir up trouble again today.

At Mathew's words, Wendy was taken aback, then laughed. "Are you talking about Chloe? Prince Mathew, I know Chloe well. She's a descendant of the Summers family in P City and grew up there. Plus, Queen Julia's daughter has been gone for a long time. The news yesterday made it clear. It's no secret anymore. How could Chloe possibly have anything to do with the royal family..."

"Why are there so many journalists?"

"I'm not sure, it looks like the royal family allowed it."

"Why would they invite so many journalists over?"

...

Before this commotion had died down, another wave started.

"It's Queen Julia!"

"I can't believe we get to see her in person at today's banquet."

"Queen Julia has a great reputation both domestically and internationally. It's an honor to meet such a person."

Queen Julia appeared on the banquet hall stage, dressed in the regal attire befitting a monarch, looking solemn and dignified.

Everyone applauded warmly at Queen Julia's appearance.

With a joyful smile on her face, Queen Julia clasped her hands in front of her and said with a laugh, "Thank you all for accepting my invitation to this state banquet. I apologize for the unpleasant incidents that occurred at yesterday's banquet. I hope today’s event will lighten your mood, and that you won't leave Y Country unhappy. May God bless you all with health and happiness."

The applause was deafening.

Satisfied, Queen Julia nodded and then spoke again, "But as for what happened at last night's banquet, if given another chance, I would still do the same..."
