Yasmine said calmly, "Ava's assassination attempt failed and now she's trying to smear Chloe's reputation."
She paused and took a long sigh, "Let's go to the rehab cente. Continue with the rehab training."
Bryson looked at her sympathetically, "I think the queen... she should have... already gotten wind of it."
Yasmine shook her head, "Knowing something and witnessing it are two different things." And she didn't want to appear before the queen in her current state.
Bryson sighed. He knew her personality well. Once she made a decision, no one could change her mind.

Game update was complete, and the press conference on TV ended.
Yasmine's appearance caught Chloe off guard. According to what Yasmine said to Carolina, it was clear that their mother-daughter suspicions were aligned again.
Carolina's sudden appearance at the company and her grand announcement of the press conference were obviously orchestrated. As for who was behind it, her and her mother's thoughts were likely the same.
Chloe turned her gaze to the game interface on her phone screen. Her slender fingers occasionally touched the screen while her eyes followed the instructions and operations on the screen.
Rose was somewhat puzzled by Yasmine's appearance, but her words seemed to remind her of something.
The room fell silent. They hadn't mentioned Chloe's recent visit to Y Country and her additional identity.
To them, Chloe was just Chloe. She was their family and their friend. Identity didn't matter to them.
However, if Yasmine hadn't shown up at the press conference, they might have just been angry at Carolina's shamelessness. Now they realized the old lady wouldn't have bothered Chloe without a reason. Especially since they'd been living in a church on the mountain, with no communication devices or internet for Carolina to be aware of outside events.
Unless someone deliberately informed Carolina, leading to today's events. As for who wanted to tarnish Chloe's reputation, there were only two people.
One was Ms. Wendy, and the other, might be related to Chloe's newly confirmed identity.
The others watched Chloe in silence, and Chloe didn't mind. She propped her hand on the armrest of the sofa, staring elegantly at the screen. The screen was showing the features and skills of the game characters. Chloe's composure and casualness didn't seem like she was really interested in the game.
Seeing Chloe like this, Nathan couldn't help but speak.
"Chloe, could you show us some respect? This casual, 'if it's too difficult I won't play' attitude is hurting us. Don't drag us down when we play."
Chloe raised an eyebrow, "Isn't it normal for newbies to lag behind a bit?"
Nathan grumbled, "Could you take this a bit more seriously? It's better to lose knowing you gave it your all, right?"
Chloe smiled, glanced at him, and said, "You're right, but I never heard about you being this passionate about work."
Nathan: "You probably didn't see me when I was working hard."
Chloe raised an eyebrow and nodded, "Fair enough. Let's have a one-on-one match, I want to see how hard you work."
Nathan blinked, staring at Chloe, seemingly in disbelief. "You said what?"
By then, Chloe had already opened the solo mode and sent Nathan an invitation. She nodded at him, "Accept the invite."
