At Yasmine's approach and her words, Ava stepped back nervously, her face turning pale, completely devoid of color.
"Given your greedy and cunning nature, it's not hard to deduce what you're planning. Knowing that you have a plan, your every move this morning is clearly all part of your objective. It's really too obvious. Don't you think?"
Yasmine's words threw Ava and Barbara into a state of confusion.
"Using some excuse to lure Chloe to the mansion, only revealing Brisa's pregnancy after Chloe's departure, then leading mother to the mansion. You've arranged for Lola to subtly hint your ill intentions towards Brisa's unborn child. Once Chloe learns of Brisa's pregnancy, she will surely bring her back for her and the baby's safety. After receiving Lola's message that everything is going according to plan and confirming Chloe and Brisa have left the mansion, you'll then head to the mansion to put up a show. Then, as planned, you'll corner Chloe in the busiest part of the city, using a pre-arranged doctor to get Chloe on the spot and find the fennel pills that caused Brisa's miscarriage on her.
"What a well-orchestrated plan, from beginning to end. You should really thank me for that, shouldn’t you? I was silently watching you all along, as you looked ecstatic like we had already vanished as you wished."
The plan was well-arranged, and Yasmine's words were just as systematic, without a single discrepancy.d2
"If there's any discrepancy in what I've said, it's merely because Chloe managed to figure out your plan bit by bit, leading to the completely reversed situation we have now. Do I need to continue? I can detail your plan even further, but do you think it's really necessary?"
The onlookers shook their heads, no longer speaking. Everything was clear as day, and everyone had been aware of the situation from the start. It was just that Ava and Barbara refused to acknowledge it.
Queen Julia no longer wished to be humiliated here, she sighed deeply and turned to look at the car beside her.
It was silent inside, the reason for which was all too clear to her now.
As she turned to return to the car, a deep voice rang out beside her.
"Hold on."
Everyone turned to look.
It was William, who had been silent from the start.
Queen Julia slowly halted, but didn't immediately turn around.
She probably knew what William wanted to say at this point.
She had suppressed him for Ava's sake for so many years. Well, it was about time.
She sighed and slowly turned around, meeting William's gaze.
William then said,
"For many years, I've wanted to annul my marriage to Ava. There are many reasons, but today's incident alone is enough to be my reason for divorce. So aunt, I hope you won't stop me anymore."
Ava froze at these words, and the expression in her eyes slowly shattered, bloodshot veins creeping onto her eyeballs.
"I won't divorce! I won't! All these years you've been with that woman. Have I ever complained? Haven't we always lived in peace? What difference does it make to you whether I as your wife, exist or not? Why divorce? I disagree!"
William looked at her coldly, "I'm divorcing you, whether you agree or not. If you think today's incident isn't shameful enough, then keep stalling. Even if aunt doesn't make a decision on this matter, I can go through the legal process. To continue living with a woman who tried to harm my own flesh and blood, how could it be possible? I advise you to give up. There's no room for reversal in this matter."
"No, I disagree. Mother, mother! Please, don't let William divorce me, I can't..."
If she really divorced, she would truly have nothing left.
"You should think about how you're going to get through today's incident first. Attempting to harm a royal heir, in your words, is a capital crime."
Queen Julia was silent for two seconds, finally saying lightly, "I apologize for my control over you all these years. This is entirely your own matter, and it's up to you to decide. I won't stop you anymore. Moreover, our family cannot afford to have such a vicious woman, and we don't want to have that either."
Ava paled, shaking her head vehemently, unable to utter a word.
"Thank you, aunt."
"I should apologize to you and Brisa."
Having said that, Queen Julia walked towards the car.
William stood in place for a while, then got into Brisa's car.
Brisa watched him silently.
Then she slowly straightened up and said "sorry" to him without any expression, her brows even holding a touch of gloom.
"Even though Chloe warned me about this, I never thought I'd feel guilty about her current predicament."
