The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1698

Indeed, it was the power and influence that the two princesses had accumulated over the years in the royal

household. With so many eyes and ears in the palace, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake for them to find out anything

they wanted?

Moreover, it was just a gift. There was no need to hide it. They didn’t expect, however, that these two would use

this to make a scene, attempting to embarrass the new princess.

People had been contemplating how Princesses Barbara and Becky would react to the arrival of the new princess.

Now, they knew for sure that these two truly couldn’t tolerate her.

Chloe was the legitimate princess with the royal bloodline. They were daughters of the child who was adopted by

the Queen.

Having enjoyed power and respect in the royal household for years, they probably feared losing their status to this

newcomer. However, they were princesses after all, and people never believed that the arrival of a new princess

would mean Queen Julia would strip these

two of their titles.

Wouldn’t it be better to coexist peacefully rather than harbor ill–intentions?d2

But clearly, the two princesses didn’t think so.

Tonight, everyone had deeply felt their malice.

Barbara and Becky almost rushed to slap Chloe hard in the face.

This annoying woman!

Bit by bit, she was closing off all their escape routes. Now, everyone believed that their actions tonight were solely

aimed at embarrassing her. Indeed, that was the case.

Anyone could tell from Chloe’s words that Princesses Barbara and Becky were intentionally trying to embarrass her.

Their gazes towards the two princesses became complex.

Suspicion and sarcasm were the most common expressions they saw

A vein popped on Barbara’s forehead, and she was on the brink of exploding with anger. Tonight, she had intended

to embarrass Chloe. not to make a fool of herself and tarnish her image

“Chloe, perhaps there’s been some misunderstanding? With so many people present today, it’s inevitable that

some gifts will be repeated. Were all here to celebrate Fiona’s birthday, and it’s the thought that counts. I believe

Fiona won’t mind whatever gifts we bring, let alone nitpick over them. Even if we did bring the same gifts, it’s

probably just a coincidence. Are you overthinking this? Aren’t intentions the most important aspect of gift–giving?”

Chloe chuckled, “Yes, even if my gift was simply a box or a magical performance, it would be full of my sincerity.”

The implication hit home. It was a reference to when Becky had mocked her. Everyone back then was gleefully

waiting to see her make a fool of herself, including Barbara

Barbara’s smile stiffened at Chloe’s words. It felt as if she had been slapped in the face by Chloe, causing a tingling

pain. Her anger seemed to leak out bit by bit.

“Chloe, we’ve been giving Fiona birthday gifts every year, and there are only so many types to choose from. We

didn’t expect that you had prepared jewelry ahead of time Jewelry is a very common gift. Even if we gave the same

thing, it doesn’t mean anything Now, are you suggesting that we knew in advance what you were going to give

Fiona, so we deliberately chose the same gift to embarrass you in front of everyone? What’s so embarrassing about

that? It’s you who’s holding onto this issue and refusing to let go. Are you only satisfied when we admit that we had

ulterior motives? Fine, if that’s the case, then I’ll admit it. Everything you suspect is true. Are you satisfied now? I

don’t understand what you stand to gain by smearing our image and reputation, especially since we’re supposed to

be

Sisters”

Barbara’s angry words were effective. After all, she had successfully constructed her image over the years in Y

Country. Her words sounded like those of a simple, naive, polite, generous, humble, and courteous person who was

cornered and just wanted peace. It seemed like Chloe was the one being aggressive Her tone was full of sorrow and

helplessness.

The crowd was confused by her performance, and their gazes towards Chloe filled with suspicion and contempt. It

seemed like the one who truly couldn’t tolerate others was the legitimate princess of the royal family.

Chloe, however, remained calrn and smiled faintly “Are you in a hurry? I was just explaining, and it’s not a big deal.

As long as a gift is sincere, it’s always good. You were the ones eager for me to present my gift, and you were the

ones who scomed what I gave. Now that I changed the gift that my grandmother had prepared for me, you’re still

not letting me off the hook, accusing me of being audacious Don’t I even have the right to explain?”

She had dealt with many people like these in the past. if they wanted to play the victim, she would show them who

was the real master of this game

“It seems like my life in the royal household is going to be tumultuous, right? Even defending myself is seen as

persistently blaming you, tarnishing your image, and damaging your reputation. In that case, I should speak less in

the future. Otherwise, I might end up being labeled a criminal just because of something I said. After all, I’m new

here, and I can’t compete with your power and influence in

1/2

the royal household.”

She paused for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and saying, “Rest assured, you two. I’ve learned my

lesson from this incident. I’ll talk to Grandma when I get back. There are already two princesses in the royal

household, and that’s more than enough. I’ll take my leave.”

Barbara’s legs tumed to jelly, stumbling back two steps, her breath hitching in her throat, almost choked by Chloe’s

words.

Every word, every sentence, was laced with accusation, declaring that they had no room for her, as if Chloe was

being singled out at every turn.

At Fiona’s birthday banquet, in front of so many people, due to her hostility, Chloe had to bid farewell to her

grandmother. Chloe really played it well.
