The more they talked now, the more they would only make themselves a laughing stock in front of everyone.
Clear up misunderstandings? Chloe had never thought about giving them an escape route. She was determined to make them a fool of themselves tonight.
And now, she just stood by, her facial expression hidden beneath her lowered brows. That posture, with her head slightly lowered, made her look like a meek and innocent victim, wronged and unable to voice her anger.
There were no words to describe Barbara's anger and humiliation at this moment. She knew it was all a set-up by Chloe.
Chloe used to be straightforward, but now she could even play the hypocrite.
The crowd beneath the stage was whispering about something, many refraining from speaking too loudly due to the princess’ status, but all of them were pointing fingers at Barbara and Becky, who stood on the stage, uncertain how to salvage their reputation.d2
If Chloe had taken a step back at this moment, even just expressing a few words to ease the situation, it might have alleviated their embarrassment. At the very least, it could have helped to diffuse the situation and allow them to gracefully step down from the spotlight. But Chloe, who had just delivered a long speech, was now refusing to say a word.
However, as ruthless as Chloe was, Fiona was even more so. Holding a kitten in one hand, she walked up to Chloe and firmly grabbed her wrist, saying in a rough tone, "Chloe, let's go. If they want to steal the limelight here, I'll give it to them. They must be desperate for popularity."
Chloe was somewhat surprised that Fiona would act so impulsively, but she didn't resist and let Fiona lead her away.
Barbara and Becky, already embarrassed, were now left on the stage under the scrutiny of everyone, feeling more humiliated than ever. Everyone was watching them, their expressions all negative and mocking.
Barbara bit the inside of her cheek hard, the taste of blood spreading in her mouth. She had never been so humiliated in her life.
Chloe was pulled away by Fiona to her room backstage.
Fiona sat on the bed, cradling the newly acquired kitten, her attention focused entirely on the adorable creature in her arms. It was unclear whether she was still angry.
Chloe stood by, thinking she should apologize to Fiona. After all, she did put Fiona in a difficult position, leading to this current situation. "Sorry..."
"Hahaha, that was so satisfying, I finally got to vent all the anger I've been holding in for years. Barbara's deflated look is so gratifying no matter how I look at it. Thanks, Princess Chloe, if it wasn't for you, I would have taken my resentment to the grave. I've known for a long time how hypocritical and vain those two sisters are, but I've never had the chance to expose their pretentiousnes. Today was so satisfying. Did you see their faces? Especially Barbara, always acting like a graceful and generous princess, now let's see how she keep up the act hahaha."
Chloe didn’t know how to reply.
Fiona was holding the kitten and rolling around on the bed, laughing so hard she was gasping for breath. Chloe didn't say anything for a long time. This lady was also a badass.
