The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1720

Ava froze for a moment upon hearing this, then quickly stepped forward to block Yasmine's path. "What do you mean? What do you mean I'm about to lose my position as the royal daughter-in-law?"

Yasmine looked at her coldly, "Isn't it all because of your own indiscretions?"

Ava frowned heavily.

Yasmine smirked, which deepened Ava's unease.

"What... what do you know?!" She lowered her voice, unable to hold back her question.

Yasmine's smile grew even broader, "I know that both you and your daughter are excellent actresses. You've perfectly manipulated the temperament of the Queen of Y Country for so many years. I can't blame her for that."d2

The two women were now being honest. In some ways, Yasmine was happy. Because she and Ava were never ones to put on a facade of false affection. If they were incompatible as fire and water, then they should be openly confrontational.

Yasmine's words frightened Ava. She said she and Barbara were acting. She took another step towards Yasmine, her eyes tinged with a hint of blood. "What exactly do you know?!" Her tone intensified, sounding as if she needed to know more details.

Yasmine's smile was casual, "What I know is the purpose of your acts today. You should be clearer about it than me, right? Why press me so aggressively? Why not ask yourself what you really want to do?"

Ava's lips turned pale, trembling uncontrollably. She stared intently at Yasmine, trying to discern something from her expression, but Yasmine’s smiling face was making her so furious that she wanted to rip it apart.

How could she possibly know? She must be bluffing, just to throw her off balance.

How could she possibly guess what they were up to!

But she was unsettled. This woman, who was so cunning, made her genuinely afraid.

"What are you two talking about?" Queen Julia's voice suddenly came over, Ava's eyes blinked hard. The gloom in them vanished instantly.

"No... nothing, I was just confirming some things with Yasmine." Ava explained with a smile, while Queen Julia looked at Yasmine.

Yasmine smiled and said, "Indeed, she was confirming some things with me."

While they were talking, Ava had already walked behind Yasmine, grabbed her wheelchair, and was pushing her ahead in a friendly manner.

The Queen frowned, her gaze lingering on Yasmine's face for a moment, then she turned her head away calmly. Barbara looked at Yasmine with a puzzled and uneasy expression, and then walked towards the car with Queen Julia.

On the way to the estate, Ava and Barbara both seemed absent-minded. On the other hand, the Queen and Yasmine were engaged in conversation all the way, mostly discussing the development and planning along the road, how it was before, how it is now, and how it would be in the future.

Halfway through, Queen Julia suddenly said, "It seems we won't catch up with Chloe. I wonder if she'll recognize Brisa and William when she sees them?"

Barbara joined in, "Grandma, don't you remember the shortcut to the estate? Why don't we take the shortcut? Maybe we can still catch up with Chloe."

Queen Julia shook her head, "There's a bumpy part on the shortcut. Yasmine's legs are not well. We should take the main road. Meeting at the estate is fine. We are not in a rush."

Ava gave Barbara a sideways glance, then lowered her voice in anger when she confirmed that the Queen and Yasmine were chatting. "What the hell are you up to?! Your father often takes that shortcut. What if we run into him?!"
