The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1679

Becky was fuming as she took in the sight of Chloe's unyielding, stubborn demeanor. She was about to explode with rage.

Ignoring Becky's fury, Chloe turned to her grandmother Queen Julia, and said in a calm, collected tone, "Grandma, I think we should call off this princess coronation ceremony."

At her words, Barbara and Becky turned to look at Chloe, their faces a mix of surprise and probing.

"Since Princess Becky finds me so distasteful, I believe I have no place in this palace anymore. It would be best if we just let this be. I am still your granddaughter, coronation or not. I am feeling a little tired today, so I will retire early..."

Chloe finished speaking without any hint of emotion and turned coldly to leave.

Ava's facial muscles twitched in anger. This little brat! How dare she pull such a shallow stunt!d2

As Chloe was about to leave, Queen Julia suddenly stood up and called after her. "Chloe! Stop this nonsense! What do you mean you have no place here? This is your home!"

Chloe gave a small smile. Her eyes met Ava's as she stood below. "I know, but after all, I am an outsider. I just don't fit in here. I am not cut out for palace life..."

"If you don't fit here, then no one does!" Queen Julia's gaze moved from Chloe to Ava and her daughters. "If Becky can't control her temper, she can stay out of this palace for good! All of you, leave!"

Ava bit the inside of her cheek, and the bitter taste of blood was spreading through her mouth.

Tears welled up in Becky's eyes as she said, "Grandma, don't you care at all... before she came, it was just us..."

A sharp slap cut off Becky's words. She stumbled back, clutching her cheek, looking at Ava in disbelief. "Mom, you hit me..."

"Shut up!" Ava advanced and harshly grabbed Becky's shoulder. She was fed up with her daughter's failures. "Get out!"

With tears streaming down her face, Becky mumbled, "Why should I shut up..."

Ava raised her arm again, and her eyes were full of warning. Becky quickly closed her mouth and shrank back. She gave Ava a tearful look before running out of the room.

Ava turned to say goodbye to Queen Julia, but her gaze met Chloe's amused eyes. She gritted her teeth and swallowed her hatred, leaving the palace with Barbara.

The princess' coronation ceremony was a public declaration. It couldn’t just be called off on a whim, and Chloe knew the consequences very well. She was clearly provoking them.

It seemed her initial thoughts were correct, that Chloe was targeting them.

Yasmine wasn't killed, neither was Chloe.

She had thought that Wendy's hatred for Chloe was enough for her to want to cut them into pieces, but in the end, they were all unharmed, while Wendy lost her own life, and even dragged Cole and Grace down with her.

She had suspicions that Chloe might have plotted and killed them.

Wendy died in an abandoned factory, shot in the head. It was indeed rumored that Cole and Grace died during a riot on the border, caught in the crossfire in the gray zone.

There was no evidence to pin Chloe, and Ava could not get any other specific information beyond this news.
