Chapter 1711
Queen Julia woke up that afternoon. Chloe had been at her bedside all along. At first sight of Chloe, Queen Julia’s
eyes were a little red with an unspeakable emotion.
“You’re awake‘ Chloe whispered, her calm face bearing a small smile
Queen Julia nodded slightly, turning her gaze towards the window. The sky had turned dark.
Silence lingered for a while as if she was going over the events that had occurred earlier in her mind, and then, she
took a deep breath.
Chloe didn’t say a word, quietly pouring her a glass of water and holding it gently. She felt melancholy, regretful,
even sad, but she couldn’t say anything about it c2
The harm brought on by the granddaughter she had loved for more than two decades, it brought about so much
emotion. Even if she was the Queen’s dearest, she couldn’t intrude or judge
“Chloe Queen Julia suddenly spoke softly, her hand clutching at Chloe’s dress.
Chloe lowered her gaze to meet hers “Hmm?”
“Do you resent me?”
Chloe offered a small smile, “No.” Her answer was too simple, making it seem overly cold.
Queen Julia pursed her lips, “So you do resent me”
“Grandma, Chloe put down the glass, helping Queen Julia sit up. “Leaving all other things aside, I am actually
grateful for the presence of those three women over the years. They were so spoiled and arrogant, using this
incident as leverage, and it was not without reason. It was my appearance that shattered the relationship you all
had for so many years. You insist that I resent you, so doesn’t that mean you admit that I am the cause of your

Chloe picked up the water glass again and handed it to her, “Actually, it wouldn’t be wrong if you resent me. I am
your granddaughter, after all. You can’t really do anything to me”
Queen Julia blinked, looking into Chloe’s eyes with a hint of surprise. She seemed to not believe that Chloe would
say such cheeky words. She took a sip of the water, the temperature just right. “I don’t resent you. Although it is
regretful, I prefer to know the truth than to be deceived. I’ve managed state affairs my entire life and everything
has been clear and transparent. Yet to be deceived in this matter is a huge insult to my dignity. I can’t stand being
kept in the dark forever”
Chloe nodded. That’s good.”
Some things, if taken to the extreme, would make anyone guilty.
The news of Queen Julia fainting had attracted the attention of people both domestically and internationally. Ava
and Barbara had been hiding at home, not daring to step out. Every day from morning until night, a large number
of reporters were stationed outside their door. They were barely able to fend for themselves, let alone help Becky
Ava was agitated, her eyes filled with bloodshot veins. Each day she would either shut herself in her bedroom or sit
blankly on the sofa.
Barbara was in a similar state She resented Chloe for her relentless pursuit, but she hated Becky even more for
being a jinx. Bit by bit, their good image in front of their grandmother was being tarnished, and with a few words,
their future was ruined.
Forget about the right to inherit the throne, even their princess titles had been taken away. Their reputation now
was in ruins, she couldn’t imagine what it would be like if she were to step out of the house now.
Everything was over
She believed that over the years, she had consistently improved herself in various ways and had cultivated her own
character. She thought she was calm enough to handle any situation, always able to keep her mind in the best
state. When it came to skills, appearance, personality, relationships, and strategy, she believed she was second to
none
Over the years, she had never doubted herself. So no matter how terrifying Chloe’s reputation was, she never paid
her any attention. But now, with just
one move from Chloe, she was reduced to such a state
With her fingers almost piercing her palm, she tried her best to calm herself, hoping to find a way out. But now, she
couldn’t even leave the house, let alone enter the palace. What could she do?
At this moment, she turned to look at Ava. She had always known that her mother had a lot of tricks up her sleeve.
At such a critical moment, she couldn’t possibly just sit and wait for death.
However, when she looked over for the umpteenth time, Ava was still in a daze She clenched her teeth, frustrated
with Ava’s incompetence “Mom What are you thinking?”
Ava turned to look at her, her expression somewhat dazed.
Barbara suddenly stood up, looking down at her with a hysterical voice. “Becky is now locked up in jail. There are
numerous reporters outside taking shifts to monitor us The title of the princess has been taken back. Do you have
any idea about the current situation? You’ve been sitting at home like this for two days now. What are you planning
to do?!”
Ava blinked, her voice indifferent. “What do you want me to do? Aren’t you good at scheming? You could even
scheme against me. Why haven’t you come up with a good idea now?”
Barbara furrowed her brows, looking at Ava as if she were crazy. “Have you gone mad?”

Ave also stood up, her bloodshot eyes staring at Barbara. T’m not in the mood to argue with you right now. You
better stay away from me.”
had not been in a normal state over the past few days. Barbara watched her ascend the stairs, with a gloomy look
on her face.
Queen Julia had been recuperating for the past couple of days, declining all visitors. And on the second night,
someone informed her that Mr. Harper wanted to visit Queen Julia in the palace.
The Queen, who had just finished her dinner and was currently enjoying the flowers in the greenhouse, smiled at
Chloe and said, “You were gone for only one night, and he can’t hold back. When I first learned that you two were
together, I was indeed very surprised. He seemed too aloof, not like a man who could stop for love. I even thought
it was a bizarre thing for a woman to appear at his side. I also thought that he might be able to do anything except
when it comes to dealing with women. However, I didn’t expect that it was my granddaughter who conquered him
in the end.”
Chloe, who was always awkward when being teased about her relationship with Damon, blushed. “You might have
some misunderstandings about him.”
He was far from the aloof man she had described, the one who didn’t linger for feelings and especially struggled to
cope with women.
“What do you mean?”
Chloe smirked. “There’s probably no man in the world who knows how to please a woman better than him.”
Queen Julia was sceptical. “He doesn’t look like that.” She thought that he was an emotional fool
Chloe pursed her lips, and murmured, “He’s the one who got me that cat at Miss Fiona’s birthday party”
Queen Julia was surprised.
