Wendy's smile was getting brighter and brighter; she was totally basking in the joy of defeating Chloe.
"But Lady Luck does have a soft spot for me. Just yesterday, she gave me an astonishing gift..."
Queen Julia's voice, previously filled with sorrow, suddenly turned jovial, and her happiness was evident in every word she spoke.
"Fortuna whispered to me that 36 years after I lost my daughter, Jasmine, she would send me a messenger, telling me that my Jasmine is not dead..."
Before Julia could finish, the banquet hall was suddenly filled with loud reactions.
"What?!"
"The Queen's daughter is alive?"
"How is that possible? After all these years, why didn't she come back if she's alive?"
"Yeah, didn't Princess Ava see her cremated with her own eyes?"
Ava's face turned pale, her body was shaking, unable to stand still due to the shocking news. Barbara seemed to have guessed something, but at this point, she couldn't stop what was about to happen.
Queen Julia paused for a few seconds. Wendy hesitated to lift her head, her face still filled with excitement.
"Chloe, come here..."
Everyone's gaze followed Queen Julia's hand to a shadowy figure beside her. A tall and slender figure in a magnificent evening gown stepped out from the shadows.
When Wendy saw the face that she knew and resented, all her expressions froze. Chloe?! Why was she there?!
Queen Julia's words suddenly popped into her mind, something about Jasmine not being dead, a messenger sent by Lady Luck yesterday...
What the hell was a messenger?!
Seeing Chloe appear, everyone was shocked. They knew this woman. She was one of the main characters in yesterday's state banquet event, and many of them were aware of her existence.
They might not have known the little details, but they were aware that Chloe was an international leading perfumer, CEO of Starlight International, and the fiancée of the CEO of the Harper Group. But they never expected Chloe to have such a surprising identity.
Chloe was wearing a dark blue gold-wired dress with matching feathers on her shoulders that accentuated her shoulder lines. She didn't wear any extra accessories. With the dress covering her ankles, she looked dignified and elegant.
Her unique aura was so captivating, it was hard to take your eyes off her.
Chloe had a cold expression on her face, and the moment she appeared, Queen Julia took her hand. She lovingly pulled Chloe to her side.
Chloe clearly felt the uncontrollable strength in Queen Julia's hand; she was even trembling. She looked up at Julia and gave a slight smile, which made Queen Julia hold her hand even tighter. "Actually, I didn't plan to say so much at the banquet today, and I didn't want so many reporters to limit everyone's speech and behavior, but I'm just so happy, I can't control my emotions right now. I want to share the happiest moment of my life with all of you..."
