The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1443

All eyes were riveted on Wendy.

"Who's this? Has she lost her marbles?”

“She thinks everyone's trying to pull a fast one on her, and really thinks the royal family would air such news without fact-checking? This woman might be a few sandwiches short of a picnic.”

“I know her, from the Alonso family, right? She used to be all over Mr. Harper from the Harper Group like a rash and did all sorts of dirty stuff. Aren't those scars on her made by Mr. Harper? And she has the nerve to show up at this state banquet? Wonder how low she can sink!”

“I've heard about that too. She always acted all high and mighty in front of Ms. Chloe just because she was Ms. Wendy and Princess Ava was her aunt. Turns out, the only legit princess here is Chloe.”

“Now she doesn't even have her superiority complex anymore. She's probably going bananas.”

Cole wished he could find a hole to crawl into. At such an important event with all the big shots from the business and political world, Wendy making a scene was just mortifying!

“Barbara, Chloe's a fraud, right? Princess Ava, tell everyone, that woman is a big fat liar!”

Wendy looked at Barbara and Ava expectantly.

Ava's pale face twitched violently. God, she wished she could strangle this fool!

Seeing Ava silent, Wendy urged, “Princess Ava, say it! Didn't you say the Queen's biological daughter is dead? How could a dead person have a daughter? So Chloe has to be a fraud!!!”

Everyone looked at them with indescribable expressions. Ava, flustered, avoided everyone's gaze. She handled all the arrangements for the ladies in attendance from the business and political circles these past few days, who were already fed up with her haughty attitude.

“It's strange. If the royal family chose to announce it in front of so many people, it's probably verified. Chloe's right here in the flesh. How can they say her mother's dead?”

“Nothing strange about that. Ava is the princess of Y Country, after all. With the real princess back, how is she supposed to keep her title? Of course, she'd try to prevent the real princess from appearing, all to secure her own position.”

“Now that you mention it, I feel a chill down my spine... The royal family lost their daughter thirty-six years ago, and Ava came back two years later. Wasn't she only six or seven years old then? Was she that cunning at such a young age?”

“Holy smokes, I'm scared...” Someone commented, hugging their arms tightly.

“If she was already so manipulative at six or seven years old, isn't she even more dangerous now...”

“Yikes, that's just terrifying...”

Ava's face was so ugly, it was beyond description. Her mind was in chaos, unsure of how to handle the current situation.

The murmurings in the banquet hall reached the stage. Queen Julia's face remained calm, seemingly unaffected by the rumors. Meanwhile, Chloe's gaze on Ava grew colder. If Ava was already so cunning at six years old, she couldn't possibly have been benign now.

Queen Julia had just mentioned lineage. Considering the characters of Grace, Wendy, Barbara, and Becky, how good could Ava be?
