The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1697

It was unexpected that Fiona, who was just in high spirits, had suddenly turned her attention to Barbara and Becky. It was as if the happy, carefree woman from moments ago had completely changed.

Caught off guard by the question, Becky's face flushed a shade of pink. She shot a panicked glance at Barbara, but her sister's expression was equally flustered. Knowing she had made a blunder, Becky clenched her lips and refrained from speaking further.

At this moment, Chloe stepped in. Becky sidled up to her, grabbed her arm, and hissed: "You've got some nerve, replacing the gift grandma made for you without saying a word."

Chloe smirked, "Becky, what was that? I didn't quite catch that. Could you speak up a bit?"

Of course, Chloe understood what Becky had said. If she wasn't confident that Becky wouldn't blame herself, her intelligence wavering with her temper, Chloe wouldn't have been standing there, waiting for Becky to approach her first.

Chloe's voice wasn't soft, and it drew the attention of everyone present. Becky hadn't expected Chloe to play this card and was startled by her voice, causing her to shudder. She certainly wouldn't repeat her words. They weren't supposed to know about the gift that their grandmother had prepared for Chloe.d2

Not only did they know now, but they also chose a gift identical to Chloe's and gave it to Fiona before Chloe did. They wanted to make Chloe seem like a copycat, lacking originality, and unlikely to gain Fiona's favor.

Their intent was to make Chloe's debut as a princess a complete flop. However, they hadn't anticipated that Chloe had an ace up her sleeve.

Now being led by the nose by Chloe, Becky was grinding her teeth in frustration. "It's nothing, you heard wrong. Why would I say anything to you?"

"Becky, honesty is the key. Are you saying Chloe is falsely accusing you? Or, are you treating me like I'm deaf? You clearly just said Chloe had the audacity to switch out the gift the Queen had prepared."

Fiona cradled her kitten, stroking its head and making it purr contentedly. But her gaze was fixed on Becky, and her words were crystal clear, dripping with sarcasm.

Chloe glanced at Fiona, who winked at her slyly, looking both cunning and mischievous. She smirked and said, "So that's what you meant. Sorry, I didn't quite understand earlier."

Fiona, still holding the cat, moved closer to Chloe. Although she was slightly plump, her eyes were extraordinarily bright and spirited. Especially now, when she had caught wind of an interesting situation, they sparkled with excitement.

"What's going on? Did you change your gift? What was your original gift?" She paused, then turned to Barbara and Becky and asked, "How did you know Chloe switched her gift?"

There were questions after questions, directed at Chloe or them.
