The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

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.”

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?!”
