The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

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?“c2

is heart had long been numb. From a long time ago, he knew how foolish it was for him to have let Chloe go.

He even thought of making amends, but someone else had already taken her place in Chloe’s heart.

He had completely lost her, cruelly pushing her away with his own hands.

Now, the only thing he could do was to watch her through the screen, like everyone else who had nothing to do with

Chloe.

No, he might not even qualify as a stranger to her:

He rested his head in his hands, feeling worn out from recent busy days. His home was filled with his mother’s sobs

and his father’s sighs.

At the hospital, there was Keira, whose true nature was revealed, relentlessly wanting to fight him to the end.

The divorce agreement had been torn up countless times by her, refusing to sign it under any circumstances.

Now she had the excuse of pregnancy to stay in the hospital.

Looking back at his past with her, all he had left were regrets and disgust.

Chloe had always been clear, but he had hurt her time and time again by blindly trusting Keira.

On reflection, Keira’s past actions were full of hypocrisy and flaws.

Even later, when Chloe repeatedly exposed her true face, he never thought of breaking up with her.

Now, with one thing after another piling up, he had truly reached his limit with Keira.

However, Keira’s current reckless behavior made it hard for him to cope.

With the company being busy, he simply stopped seeing her.

He could only drag on.

When the day her fake pregnancy was exposed and she was truly locked up came, he could finally be free.

If she didn’t want to divorce, then let her be.

He didn’t care if it took a lifetime; he had no expectations for the rest of his life anyway.

The timing was just right, ninety minutes. After a round trip around the city, they arrived back at the palace gates.

The carriage slowly entered the palace, and when the door closed, Chloe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she had gradually adapted to the enthusiasm of the people, she was still a bit tired.

What followed was the real coronation ceremony on top of the city gate, where she would announce to everyone

that she was the princess of Y Country.

e, and Ava’s face in the other room turned pale.

“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.

Chapter 1745

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?

She had clung to the hope of a twist in the tale, only to be met with the reality of Chloe’s coronation.

Chloe had transformed into a real princess.

Despite being on the other side of the world, Chloe had once again made Keira the butt of the joke.

A complete and utter joke.

On the other side, Lauretta was also watching Chloe on the telly, riding in a horse–drawn carriage, basking in the

warmth of Y Ccountry’s adoration. She thought of Keira, the freeloader draining the Olson family’s resources, and

was filled with regret and resentment. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

“We were blind to have chosen Keira, the shameless bitch,” she said.

Grover’s face was ashen. At her words, he snorted, “I told you you’d regret this. Didn’t realize it would happen so

soon.”

“How was I to know Keira would bring such bad luck? Carolina was always fawning over her, I thought she was

certain Keira was the one destined for great things.”

“Chloe and Lance were engaged back them, but you were still secretly pushing Lance towards Keira. The Olson

Group was on the brink of bankruptcy, and if it weren’t for Chloe’s help, we would have been done for. Have you no

conscience? Even in gratitude, you shouldn’t have done such a low thing. And to think, Chloe is the half–sister of

Keira, no, the funny thing is, Keira is not even a real Summers. It’s karma. You didn’t appreciate what you had, and

now, who can you blame?”

Grover’s words left Lauretta speechless and seething with rage.

“I pushed Lance towards Keira for the sake of the Olson family! You have no right to blame me!”

“Did you let me say a word back then? What mutual affection? Yes, Lance is truly your son, and he never

disappoints you! You pushed him towards Keira, and he really hooked with her. I’ve long left the Olson family in

Lance’s hands. Now let’s see how he manages the Olson Group. You should pray that Keira, your star of fortune,

stays in the hospital to help your precious son survive this crisis.”

Gripped by anger, Grover stormed upstairs.

Lauretta was left stung by Grover’s words. Her sense of guilt was overwhelming, her tears flowing freely.

Watching Chloe on the TV, adored and respected by all, she was consumed by a deep sense of regret.

The Summers had a daughter, born to be a phoenix, hidden in the woods, without a nest to return to, taken

advantage by the wicked, her fate filled with misfortune. And she will rise above all.”

Chloe was the real phoenix, not only saving the Olson family from bankruptcy but also a real princess.

And the wicked one, undoubtedly, it was Keira
