The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1454

"So Becky dumped a bucket of ice water on Chloe in front of everyone, who do you think is the real victim here?"

Ava's lips twitched hard.

Becky splashing water on someone else, but ended up looking like a battered mess, who truly was the victim?

"And how exactly do you plan to get Becky treatment?"

"Nothing special, just receiving treatment at the hospital." Ava anxiously retorted, "But her face needs surgery abroad."

"That's the price she gotta pay."

"Mr. Harper!"

"Could you let us enjoy our lunch in peace?"

Chloe's cold voice abruptly came in. She forked a piece of lobster and placed it on Damon's plate.

Ava abruptly fell silent, turning to look at Chloe, who offered no response.

Upon seeing this, Queen Julia glanced at Ava, "If there's nothing else, I suggest you leave."

"But Your Majesty...." Ava wanted to say more but was silenced by Queen Julia's stern expression.

She was fuming inside. It was lunchtime, and she had already seated herself here, but she was ruthlessly driven away from the dining table.

But looking at the Queen, she realized there was no reasoning at the moment. So she swallowed her pride, stood up, forced a smile and said to Queen Julia, "Since Chloe just returned to the palace, she might not be familiar with some of our customs and manners. I am free now, I could take some time to teach her, and I could also get her and Barbara to get along."

Barbara quickly chimed in, "Yes, there's been some misunderstanding between Chloe and I. This could be a good opportunity for me to clear things up."

Chloe sat straight, elegantly savoring her lunch, her face devoid of any emotion.

"And where exactly did I go wrong to deserve a life lesson from our esteemed princesses? I merely spoke a few words and you're already trying to school me?" Chloe's words were dripping with sarcasm, causing Queen Julia to wince.

"Chloe."

"I don't need any schooling right now."

The room fell deafeningly silent; only the clinking of cutlery could be heard.

Queen Julia looked at the expressionless Chloe, her heart filled with mixed emotions. "Chloe, no one has the right to teach you a lesson."

Chloe suddenly said calmly, "I understand. They've been by your side for over thirty years, and I can appreciate the bond formed over years of companionship. That doesn't conflict with the relationship between me, Yasmine and you. I understand your dilemma, but no one can cross my line. Otherwise, I won't easily forgive."

Ava and Barbara exchanged a smug glance. No matter what, they had been with Queen Julia for over thirty years. Their bond with the Queen was no less than that of Chloe and Yasmine. Even if Ava and Becky made mistakes, the Queen wouldn't punish them.

Chloe put down her fork, picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of her mouth. "However, I hope you understand what true lineage is, especially royal lineage. It's something that can never be replaced or confused."
