Chapter 1726
As the group got into the car. Chloe quickly took off her scarf and puffer jacket. “You should do the same.” She
didn’t lift her head as she spoke, but Brisa knew she was talking to her Following her lead, Brisa removed her own
outerwear. They passed their jackets back to Jane one after the other.
“Pull over” Jane’s icy command rang out, and she got out of the car, holding the two outfits. Afterward, she pulled
out two spare blankets from the backseat and handed them to the two women.
Chloe rolled down the window, watching with a cold gaze as Jane outside the car scrutinized the two jackets in her
hands. Brisa leaned her body to look out, utterly clueless as to what they were up to Ever since she decided to
leave with them, their actions had become increasingly peculiar, filling her with
unease
What what are you guys up to? She glanced at Chloe’s tense profile, her words trailing off.
Chloe didn’t respond, her attention focused on Jane who was now making her way back to the car with the jackets
Jane spread her hand through the window, revealing several dark gray pellets, resembling pills. “These are of
Fennel essential oils. They’ve used other scents to mask the smell. It’s similar to the air freshener in the car behind
us.“c2
Chloe sneered
At this point, the driver grew curious and turned around to inquire about the situation.
Out of politeness, Jane offered the pellets for him to examine.
The driver leaned in to sniff the pellets, “Huh?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What’s wrong?” Jane asked.
Bending down, the driver retrieved a fancy wooden box from the glove compartment. “This was given to me by the
housekeeper earlier. She said it was a high–end air freshener for the car. I haven’t finished the one I have now, so I
put this one away.”
Jane frowned, took the wooden box and smelled it, then spoke in a low voice, “It’s the same fragrance as the one in
the car behind, which means it smells quite similar to these few pellets
Handing the box back to the driver, she scoffed, “They prepared these to hide the existence of these things.” By
overlapping the scents, even if there was any suspicion, it could be covered up by the car’s air freshener.
“That woman, she really thought this through”
However, whether it was Lola or Ava, they underestimated Chloe. Knowing she was a perfumer with a sensitive
nose, they used an air freshener with the same scent as a disguise. But did they really think she wouldn’t be able to
distinguish the scent of fennel? Even if they used countless aromatic spices as a cover, how could they possibly fool
her? Moreover, they probably didn’t anticipate that she would decide to bring Jane along today
“But their tactics are pathetic. If they turned the fennel into perfume or other form of scentless substance, it would
be much harder to detect than these obvious pills, wouldn’t it?”
Chice sneered, “They were trying to kill two birds with one stone. Not only cause a miscarriage but also shift the
blame onto me. After all, I’ve been with her this whole time. If anything happens to her, I would undoubtedly be
implicated. If they find these things on me, even if I had a thousand tongues. I wouldn’t be able to explain myself”
Listening to Chloe, Jane rolled her eyes.
“Their methods of harming others are endless. They clearly have lots of experience”
Meanwhile, Chloe rested her elbow on the car window, gazing into the distance, lost in thought. Jane raised an
eyebrow, knowing that Chloe was scheming something Noticing a slow smirk curling on Chloe’s lips, and the gleam
in her eyes, Jane felt a chill run down her spine. “What are you thinking?”
The emotions in Chloe’s eyes instantly retreated as she pointed at the pellets in Jane’s hand and slowly said, ‘Put
them away”
Jane frowned, “Are you sure?”
“Of course, just make sure they’re sealed.”
Their conversation ended, and only when the scent in the car had completely dissipated did Chloe roll up the
window. Turning to Brisa, she saw her looking pale as a sheet
“Seems like coming back with me isn’t the safest option. Someone really has thought of everything. Their
meticulous planning shows how much they want to get rid of you and me
Brisa shook her head in horror, “This is terrifying. That woman, her schemes are incredibly insidious”
She was planning to get rid of both her and Chloe And even her unborn baby
After Jane got back in the car, Chloe glanced at the time, “Is there a shortcut up ahead?”
The driver quickly replied, “Yes, but it’s a bit bumpy”
Without hesitation, Chloe instructed, “Take the shortcut.”
The driver started the car and moved forward for a while, then turned into the fork in the main road
Not long after their departure, on the other side of the forked road, Queen Julia’s car slowly approached, heading
directly toward the mansion.
Upon arrival at the mansion, Lola rushed out to greet them, When she heard that Chloe had taken Brisa away,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmQueen Julia let out a sigh of relief. “This child, she really does think like me”
It was nearly noon, and Lola was about to instruct the servants to prepare lunch when she was halted by the
Queen. “Since they’ve already left, i should bed back too” She seemed a bit anxious, as if she would see the baby
the moment she returned home
10:55
Ava chimed in at this point, “We didn’t see their car on our way here, which means they must’ve taken the shortcut.
The shortcut is a bit rough, and the pregnant woman is fragile, we better make sure nothing happens. Mother is
right. We should head back as soon as possible. We will also take the shortcut. Maybe we can catch up with them.”
So the group got back in the car, speeding up considerably. They took the shortcut as well but failed to catch up
with Chloe. “Driver, can you go any faster?” Ava urged.
Since Chloe was to be publicly humiliated, it had to be done in front of everyone. If they made it into the palace,
Brisa wasn’t sure if her mother would protect her or suppress the news due to its potential impact. She wanted to
ensure that Chloe had no chance of redemption. It would be ideal to stop them in the city center, and let their
ugliest side be exposed to the public.
Queen Julia was jostled from side to side by the car, and her complexion worsened upon hearing what Ava said.
Fortunately, the road smoothed out after a while, and she remained silent.
Meanwhile, Ava’s plan was also Chloe’s plan. As the car entered the city, Chloe then instructed the driver to slow
down the speed. She had thought they would take a shortcut to catch up, but it seemed they had underestimated
their pace.
Fortunately, she now had the upper hand. If Ava and Barbara wanted to frame her and tamish her reputation, she
would make sure they experienced the same fate and tasted the bitterness of complete ruin.
