The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1715

Ava's forward rush was abruptly halted, and she even took a few steps back. Her wariness of Yasmine was evident.

The study fell into an eerie silence for a moment. No one spoke.

Yasmine looked at Ava with an indifferent gaze, but to Ava, it cut like the sharpest knife in the world, leaving her covered in painful wounds.

Ava quickly averted her gaze, feeling lost and confused. Chaos reigned in her mind.

Yasmine, however, just gave a faint smile. “Really? An old friend you haven't seen in decades, and you can't even bring yourself to greet me?”

Ava stiffened, visibly shrinking back at Yasmine's words. She glanced at Queen Julia before managing a strained smile towards Yasmine. “Yasmine, is it really you?”d2

Yasmine smirked, staring at Ava's evasive gaze for a moment before slowly responding, “What do you think?”

The calm statement left Ava so rigid she could hardly move, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Yasmine's gaze felt like a heavy weight pressing down on her. Even Barbara, who had entered the room later, was silenced by the intense pressure emanating from Yasmine.

This woman was even more dangerous than Chloe.

Chloe was cool and aloof when they first met, but she had a sense of detachment from worldly affairs. Despite knowing her cunning and deep schemes, Ava didn’t fear her as much. But Yasmine was different. She had lived more than twenty years longer than Chloe, and even without Yasming saying a word, Ava could feel the powerful aura she radiated.

Ava was at a loss as to how to deal with Yasmine, whose gaze and simple words seemed to see right through her.

“I don't understand what you're saying.” Faced with Yasmine's inquiry, Ava could only muster a forced response.

Yasmine scoffed, “Seems like I’ve been sentimental. Decades have passed, I can recognize you at a glance, but you seem to have forgotten me.”

Ava was trembling, and when she found the courage to look at Yasmine again, she found Yasmine looking back at her with a chilling smile before lowering her head to look at the documents in her hand.

Ava was confused by Yasmine's attitude. At first, she was afraid that Yasmine might be held accountable on the spot. But the fact that Yasmine wasn’t saying anything now made her even more uneasy.

However, at this moment, she didn't know what to say to Yasmine. All her doubts and fears were swirling around in her heart, unsettling her.

“What are you here for?”

The strange atmosphere was palpable to everyone in the room. Even Queen Julia couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Facing Queen Julia’s stern words, Ava quickly turned to her. “Mother... I came...”

“Grandma.”
