Chapter 1732
Meanwhile, seeing Queen Julia approaching, Barbara hurried to her.
“Grandma.”
“Slap!”
A crisp sound echoed in the quiet environment, taking everyone by surprise Barbara’s voice cut off abruptly, and
everyone else seemed too startled to react. Looking at Barbara, who’d been unexpectedly slapped and was now
sitting stunned on the ground, they were all taken aback and confused What on earth was going on?
Chloe, observing all this, let out a cold chuckle and slowly put her hands back into the pockets of her down jacket.
She cast a sarcastic glance at Barbara.c2
Barbara instinctively touched her slapped cheek, equally shocked Ava was the first to recover, rushing forward to
say, “Mother, are you mistaken? What did Barbara do wrong? Are you being unfair? It was Chloe who caused all
this trouble today, not Bar.”
Queen Julia’s face was pale, her lips trembling with rage. She slowly raised her arm, pointing a trembling finger at
Ava “You you. She was too furious to form a coherent sentence, finally raising her hand and slapping Ava across the
face.
Caught off guard, Ava staggered backward, bracing herself against something. Just as she was about to steady
herself, a force from behind sent her sprawling. She looked up in panic, only to see Yasmine’s face, a cold, mocking
smile playing on her lips.
“Ava, you’ve brought this upon yourself. You should really understand what that means.”

“Grandma! What did I do wrong?! It was Chloe. she was the one who tried to harm the royal heir, she wanted to
harm my brother.”
Rising to her feet, Ava ignored Yasmine’s mockery, Mother”
Queen Julia was still shaking with rage. her face ashen. “Tell me, why were you so sure that Chloe was carrying
fennel? From the beginning, you’ve been leading us to believe it was her. Tell us, Aval”
She suddenly yelled, “You’ve been too obvious today! How long are you planning to play me for a fool? After all
these years of love and care, don’t you have any conscience?!”
The outburst left Ava and Barbara stunned, but Barbara stepped forward, reaching out to comfort Queen Julia,
“Grandma, why are you saying this? What did we do wrong..”
“Stay away from me!”
Barbara looked at her grandmother, her face filled with sadness, “Grandma, why won’t you believe us? Dr. Lee
made it clear, that it was Chloe who was carrying the fennel She’s after the thronel”
Queen Julia swayed slightly, her vision blurred. “You’re saying Chloe was carrying fennel?”
Barbara nodded “Yes, it’s true I’m certain, and if we search her, we’ll find proof that I’m right.”
“Silence Queen Julia slapped Barbara again.
“Mother!” Ava rushed forward, pulling Barbara to her side.
Queen Julia’s chest heaved with her heavy breaths. She looked at the two women before her, closing her eyes for a
moment “Chloe would never
fennel I believe her”
Ava and Barbara looked at her, frustrated and defeated “Why? If she’s not carrying it, then how do you explain
what happened to Brisa?”
“Why?” Queen Julia slowly opened her eyes, looking at Ava and Barbara with a pained expression.
“Mother believe us, just this once, if you search her, you’ll find
HTY
Ava persisted, but Queen Julia cut her off with a cold laugh “No need to search She doesn’t have it. How could she,
being pregnant, carry such a thingTM
Avas face froze with a mix of anxiety and anger She staggered, as if struck by lightning.
You what did you say?”
“I’m pregnant” Chice cut off Queen Julia, smirking at Ava and Barbara Tm over three months along. I knew I had
many enemies, so I didn’t announce 4 So I’m sorry but your plan today has failed”
Barbaras gaze shifted to Chloe’s stomach Now that she thought about it. Chics had changed her style of dress since
she got back. From sim–fitting clothes to loose and baggy ones. Even Damoris attentiveness
No wonder she’d been so confident
A sudden realization hit her. Something wasn’t right
“I cant be “Ava shook her head dismissing Chloe’s statement outright
Lola had assured her that everything was going according to plan. There was no way things could go wrong. Why
didnt Chice have the item they’d arranged for her to carry?
Barbara was thinking the same thing. Either Chloe was lying, or Chloe had seen through their plan from the
beginning But how could she have guessed their plan?

me at first”
Everyone, still reeling from the shock, was now curious
“Not only did I have it, but so did Brisa, and even in the

with a keen sense of smell, or did you just underestimate my profession? Did you think I wouldn’t notice with all
those scents mixed together?”
At that moment, Jane stepped out of the car and displayed a sealed transparent bag to everyone.
These are the balls infused with fennel essential oil we found on our Mrs. Chloe and Brisa. We noticed them from
the start and managed to minimize the damage by finding and sealing them all.”
The crowd covered their mouths, shocked and curious, as they stared at what Jane was holding.
The thing is real, but the scent on me is long gone. There’s no way that any strong smell could still exist. So I’m
curious, Dr. Lee, why were you so sure that I smelled of fennel?”
Dr Lee’s knees gave way, and he slumped to the ground. Ava and Barbara couldn’t hide the panic that flashed
across their faces.
At that moment, a long horn blare echoed from outside the crowd. Everyone moved aside, making way for a sleek,
expensive black sedan that slowly drove into the scene.
As soon as the car stopped, the door opened, revealing Damon’s tall and lanky figure to everyone present.
Following him, Nate got out of the car, striding to the other side and yanking someone out. To everyone’s surprise, it
was a disheveled Lola.
