Ava didn't want this man to have any more chance to talk around the Queen, otherwise, it would be her and her daughters who would be in danger today.
"I caught this person and brought them here. How to handle this is naturally my business. No need to trouble you." Nate's icy voice rang from behind. Witnessing the blatant lies and hypocrisy among these women, Nate felt his principles being flipped upside down.
They had such a nerve to lie so blatantly, manipulating the truth for their own survival. It was utterly despicable. These people enjoyed the prosperity and honor of the royal family for so many years, it was absolutely nauseating.
Ava opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She had forgotten about that part. "This is a matter of our royal family. We won't hand the prisoner over to outsiders. Please understand."
Nate insisted coldly. "I was the one who caught him."
Ava gritted her teeth. "You all seemed so determined to condemn him to death today. Have you forgotten that you pleaded for him just last night? Quite a quick change of heart."d2
Nate stared at Barbara's back, his calm voice full of sarcasm.
Barbara clenched her hands tightly.
"I didn't know the specifics of what happened yesterday. I just thought it must have been a misunderstanding, because I always believed that a royal driver wouldn't harm a princess without a reason."
"Right. I also can't figure out why he would harm Ms. Chloe without a cause. But Princess Barbara, your intervention for a mere driver must suggest a close relationship. Today, it turns out you are indeed close. It's a shame that his status is not enough, and his words carry little weight, so much so that he almost lost his life for nothing."
Ava had no idea what had happened last night, but now she could only stubbornly deny it. "We have already made it very clear, he intentionally tried to sow discord among us royal sisters, for this alone we cannot forgive him."
Chloe said lightly, "The birthday party for Miss Fiona last night was really lively. We have to thank Barbara and Becky for making it a memorable one for Fiona."
Enough said.
Queen Julia looked coldly at Barbara and Becky. "Who told you to go to Dubonnet's Manor last night?"
Barbara and Becky looked a bit flustered, "We... we always celebrate Fiona's birthday together every year, we have a good relationship, so we didn't want to miss her birthday."
"Is that so." Chloe said nonchalantly, "Since you both decided to go together, why didn't you let me know in advance? I'm new here, and if we had gone together, perhaps the accident on the road wouldn't have happened.
“When I finally survived, and saw you two coming over in your lovely dresses, I once doubted if you thought I was dead, or seriously injured, and you came to replace me as the royal representative at Miss Fiona's birthday party. Is that so?"
The three women stood there, feeling a prickling sensation on their scalps. Chloe didn't say much, but each word was like a sharp knife, making them afraid to say anything to defend themselves.
"We... we just wanted to celebrate Fiona's birthday." Barbara insisted stubbornly.
Brave indeed.
"Did I misunderstand? But why are the gifts you prepared for Fiona exactly the same as mine? The gift was chosen by grandmother. Did she tell you what she had prepared for me?"
Queen Julia frowned, "No."
