The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1738

"She's too cunning and ruthless for our liking. We Harpers have no room for someone like her."

Presley exclaimed, abruptly rising from his seat. His cane struck the floor with a loud thud, echoing his anger. He stormed up the stairs, leaving a tense Robin sitting in silence.

When every detail of Ava’s past was exposed, Queen Julia’s last shred of sympathy for her vanished. Ava cunningly assumed Yasmine’s position, fearing Yasmine’s potential return, and even hired a hitman to eliminate any threat to her own standing. The harm inflicted on Yasmine’s legs was a direct result of Ava’s merciless actions.

Ava enjoyed the life that should have belonged to Yasmine, basking in the protection and love that were meant for her. Yet, she planned to eradicate Yasmine, the Queen’s own daughter, completely. How could Queen Julia ever forgive her?

Living for so many years, Queen Julia realized how gravely wrong she had been. Ava’s actions were simply unforgivable. Despite being a wise and skillful ruler, Queen Julia had made a grave mistake with Ava.d2

Ava was immediately incarcerated in the royal court’s justice department. This department was established for the royal family, adhering to the principle of equality in punishment for all, regardless of their status.

Locked away for a full three days, Ava spent each day contemplating how to meet Queen Julia. She exhausted every possible excuse that might earn forgiveness from the Queen, yet those justifications failed to convince even herself. Yet, she couldn’t remain confined. She couldn’t simply die. She had a long life ahead of her. She was a princess and her husband was also the Queen’s nephew. She had a life of wealth and honor waiting for her. Why would she want to die? However, no matter what she said, no one was willing to deliver her message to the Queen.

“Guards, guards! Are you all deaf? Can't you hear me calling you? How dare you ignore me? I’m stuck in here, but don’t think I'll forget this! Once I’m out, you’ll all be dismissed!”

Three days of darkness had worn her patience thin. Queen Julia’s silence made her more anxious. She had a strong feeling of being completely abandoned. As a princess, she was accustomed to commanding others and being superior. She was always poised and elegant.

The law enforcement officers laughed at Ava’s irrational screams. They were fed up with her arrogant attitude.

“Do you really think you can get out? You know what you’ve done. Do you still think you can rule the kingdom?”

Ava was shocked, “What do you mean?”

The officer sneered, “You’re a murderer. You stole our princess’s position, hired hitmen to kill the real princess, and used the Queen’s love to gain power and wealth. You conspired with your sister to kill the Alonso family’s lady during childbirth. There’s a long list of your disgusting acts.

Even if the Queen wanted to forgive you, could the citizens agree? She’s the Queen, the ultimate symbol of justice. If she forgave you, how could she maintain her authority? Can she really choose you over her entire kingdom?”

Ava's anguished expression turned pallid. Staring at those people, she stuttered, her mouth opening and closing, "Y-you... you..."

"How did we find out?"

One of them retorted, then laughed, "What does it matter if we know? The entire nation knows of your actions, or should I say the entire world knows what kind of person you and your daughters are. So give up any other thoughts. The Queen won't forgive you, let alone spare you. You reap what you sow. When you did all those depraved things in the past, you should have thought about your future."

Ava's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color. Meanwhile, in another cell, Barbara, upon hearing those words, could no longer feign composure. She lunged at the door, shouting desperately, "I'm innocent! I didn't do anything! I didn't kill anyone or do those things! Please inform my grandmother. Tell her that I'm truly innocent. I didn't do anything!"

"We don't know if you killed someone, but this time, conspiring against the royal heir, you're an accomplice. Don't try to evade responsibility. You'll see how the Queen judges it."
