The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1707

Queen Julia nodded, her icy gaze settling on the chauffeur standing below the podium. "Since you've just admitted to it, according to the laws of the Y Country, attempted murder is punishable by lifetime imprisonment. Attempting to assassinate a royal princess and showing contempt for the dignity of the kingdom is a further crime. I hereby issue a national notification - the death penalty will be carried out three days from now."

It was only at this moment that Ava and Barbara realized Chloe's intentions all along.

Upon hearing Queen Julia's decision, the driver was practically scared out of his wits. "No, I didn't try to kill the princess. It was truly an accident. I have no grudge against Princess Chloe, so why would I harm her? Moreover, I was also in the car at the time. If something were to happen to Princess Chloe, I certainly wouldn't have escaped unscathed. Why would I gamble with my own life?!"

Queen Julia scoffed, "How can your life possibly compare to the life of the princess!"

"But I really didn't mean to kill Princess Chloe."

Chloe interrupted him, "Just now you clearly admitted it yourself. Are you suggesting someone forced you?"d2

Ava's face turned pale, her body stiff. Her eyes were fixed on the ground, her chest heaving rapidly. Her hands were clasped together, sweaty with fear.

Chloe was forcing the chauffeur to confess who was behind this attempt. After her intentional hints, the chauffeur suddenly shifted his gaze to Ava. "Princess Ava, you need to help me explain this."

Chloe raised an eyebrow, her face full of sarcasm. "Sir, you've gotten yourself into trouble and now you want Ms. Ava to help explain. What is the logic in that? What relationship do you have with her? This action of yours makes it very easy for people to think that she's the one who instructed you to kill me."

Ava was so scared that she could hardly breathe. She kicked the chauffeur aside, took a few steps back and glared at him with a pale face.

"You've made such a big mistake and now you want to evade legal punishment through me. I am a member of the Y Country's royal family, a princess, and a royal daughter-in-law. How could I possibly bend the law for you?"

The chauffeur was completely devoid of rational thinking after Ava's kick. "Princess Ava, you're so hypocritical. If it wasn't for your instructions, I would never..."

"Shut your mouth!" Ava suddenly shouted in anger, her face and body trembling with tension.

Becky had long been stunned into silence. Barbara was also holding her breath in anxiety, her chest uncomfortably tight. Yet at this moment, she managed to take a few steps forward and said to the chauffeur, "For many years, my mother has been known throughout the Y Country for her tolerance and kindness, charity and gentleness. But when it comes to royal affairs, she's always been meticulous and would never break the law or tarnish the royal family's reputation. You've committed a crime that not only breaks the law but also harms a royal princess. Even my mother herself would never tolerate this. How could you even suggest that she would speak on your behalf?! By not helping you, you've chosen to throw mud at her. Mister, one should have some conscience and morals. Just because you're going down, you want to drag us down with you. Isn't that too much?"

With these words, the chauffeur was completely cut off from accusing them any further.
