The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1745

Barbara was livid, "What are we supposed to know?!"

The man bit onto the cigarette dangling at the corner of his mouth, glanced at Barbara's angry face, and gave a derisive laugh. As he skimmed over the document in his hands, he spoke,

"Seeing as we have nothing better to do, I might as well explain it to you."

He removed the cigarette and crushed it into the ashtray before sitting on the table.

"Aren't you forgetting that you've already bribed the hospital into giving you a fake paternity test?"

Barbara froze, and Ava's face in the other room turned pale.d2

"Sure, there must have been a reason. But I don't know where you're planning on using it. Princess Chloe, however, thinks you're going to use it at the coronation ceremony. You've prepared thoroughly, so why let it go to waste? The coronation is the most likely place for your plans to come to fruition.

"You've brought this upon yourselves. You started scheming against her too early. Otherwise, you might have been able to attend the coronation today. But now, your disgrace will be even more pronounced.

"A fake paternity test? You're really pulling out all the stops, aren't you? Well, speaking of which, the princess wanted me to show you this document. Then you'll understand how magnanimous she has been towards you."

As he spoke, he handed the document to a man standing nearby.

The man immediately took it and walked over to Barbara, whose face had turned pale. He handed her the document.

Barbara opened it and her expression changed dramatically.

It was the blood relation identification between Yasmine and Queen Julia.

She didn't even need to look at the results. Instead, the date at the bottom was what caught her attention.

Ava snatched it from her and also looked at the date. Her reaction was not much different from Barbara's.

The date of the test was a month ago, during the Y Country's national banquet.

She slumped to the ground.

So

Chloe had been preparing to handle them all along.

If they had stuck to their original plan and brought out the fake paternity test at the coronation ceremony, insisting that Yasmine and Chloe were fake princesses, then this document alone would have been enough to give them a fate worse than their current one.

Seeing their reactions, the man continued, "Now do you understand how merciful the princess has been towards you? She could have made your lives much more miserable if she wanted to, but she didn't want to spoil the coronation. And most importantly, she didn't want to risk you harming her unborn babies like you did with Brisa. She didn't want to waste her time dealing with insignificant people like you and put her babies in danger.

"Over these years, you've been occupying a place that doesn't belong to you, attempting several times to take their lives. This led to years of separation between her and her mother, and even now, you're still scheming against them. She hasn't even had the chance to settle scores with you yet. You're somewhat fortunate that you haven't received more torment."

Ava and Barbara turned ashen.

Becky was the first one to be locked up, and she was already on the verge of a mental breakdown. Now that Ava and Barbara joined her, she just sat in the corner with a vacant look in her eyes.

Noticing Ava and Barbara's reactions, even Becky, slow as she was, could tell that there was no chance of them getting out this time.

"No, we didn't..."

"Stop denying it. All it does is make you look stubborn and unwilling to take responsibility. The hospital and doctors you bribed have already confessed.

But considering all the connections you've made in the Y Country over the years, we had to bring in extra people to make sure you don't cause any trouble during the coronation. It's been quite the hassle."

Ava and Barbara were not listening to his words anymore.

"Who are you? Why are you telling us all this? Where did you hear all this from?"

The man gave a cold laugh, "I'm just a nobody; it doesn't matter who I am. As for the information I've given you, it's all common knowledge outside, not a secret. I'm telling you all this because the princess wants me to. She wants to make you suffer for all the things you've done."

"It's strange, really. Despite all your scheming and treachery, she's not exactly a saint herself. But somehow, she manages to be likable even when she's being bad."

Barbara couldn't hide the bitterness on her face.

Bad but likable?

How was that possible?

There were so many people who despised Chloe, who hated her with all their hearts.

They wished she would just die!

On the television screen, footage of Chloe's parade around the city was still playing. Her regal attire, shimmering under the sunlight, was truly a sight to behold.

Compared to before, she was now wearing a cloak, the droplet-shaped crystals on her chest catching the light and drawing attention.

Every detail about her was exquisite and noble.

Her face, with a faint smile playing at her lips and a light touch of makeup, was undeniably beautiful and regal.

Whether still or in motion, she radiated an indescribable aura.

The enthusiastic citizens lining the streets were all cheering and shouting her name.

They were showing their admiration and support for her.

They were acknowledging Princess Chloe's status.

All of this, everything that Barbara had once aspired for, was now hers. She was sitting high and mighty, enjoying the glory that Barbara had once dreamed of, while Barbara could only watch through a screen from afar.

How ironic.

Meanwhile, in P City, most people were glued to their screens, watching the broadcast.

Keira was still lingering in the hospital, claiming that she was pregnant and needed to rest.

However, she refused any examination from the doctors.

She would scream and yell if anyone tried to touch her.

Now she was taking advantage of public opinion, staying in a luxury hospital room, with all her needs taken care of. The Olson family was helpless against her and could only pay for her expensive hospital bills and other expenses.

The Olson family's business was in the pits, and now they were saddled with Keira, a burden that only made things worse.

Lauretta spent her days at home, filled with regret, yet unable to deal with the freeloading Keira.

If the Olsons didn't step up, the media would have a field day painting them in the worst possible light.

They were already walking on thin ice, any more scandals would tip them over the edge.

Meanwhile, Keira was ensconced in a deluxe hospital suite, watching Chloe on the telly, surrounded by the wreckage of luxury fruits, skincare products, jewelry, and even medical equipment meant for her care.

She had heard rumors that Chloe might be a princess, and despite Queen Julia's public proclamation after the state banquet, she still held out hope that it was all a mistake.

How could Chloe possibly be a princess?

Considering how harshly Chloe was mistreated by her in the Summers family, where everything was snatched away by her, and how Chloe lived without any semblance of the demeanor of a wealthy heiress, how could she possibly be an exalted princess now?
