“I don’t care who you guys are, but how did you get in here?” Barbara scowled.

Her question went unanswered.

“You guys…” Just as she was about to speak, she saw Chloe and another person entering from thedoor.

“Mathew.” Seeing her brother with Chlpe, Barbara’s expression tightened instantly.

Mathew walked up to her, his handsome face shrouded in indifference. His gaze fell lightly on her,his voice icy as he said, “Move.”

“Mathew! This woman bullied mel Why did you bring her back again?!” Becky was not convinced.She was embarrassed and annoyed to see Chloe. She was about to leave, so why did Mathewbring her back?

But Mathew ignored her, turning to Chloe to say lightly, “This is all Mr. Harper’s arrangement. I’veheard about what happened just now, and I’m sorry for it.”

Chloe chuckled, seeing so much food from Z Country in front of her. Almost all the famous disheswere there. How much influence did he have to be able to support her from so far away in YCountry?

After Mathew finished speaking, the chef next to him spoke, “Mis. Harper, Mr. Harper said that royalfood might not suit your taste. He asked me not to let you ‘put

up with it‘.”

His words were subtle, but they effectively conveyed his meaning. To him, royal food was justsomething to fill her stomach with when she had no other choices. Becky clenched her teeth;glaring at Chloe. She dared to look down on royalty?

Chloe smiled, her gaze sweeping over the dishes on the table. She raised an eyebrow, her eyesscanning over the artists in the banquet hall. Then she said with a light smile, “Dear artists, this isfood from Z Country. If you don’t mind, why don’t we enjoy it together?”

Seeing so much food on the table, she knew that Damon definitely did not prepare it just for her.She understood his intentions.

The artists noticed too; someone was supporting Star. Judging by the amount of food, it wasobvious that someone was inviting them.

Moreover, the world–renowned food from Z Country was something most of them had only heard ofbut never really tasted. They were all curious.

“Alright, then I will take your invitation.”

“I’ll try some too!”

Everyone gathered around, silver plates filled with food, chatting and laughing, with occasionalbursts of laughter. People enjoyed the lively atmosphere while eating. The present atmospherecreated a sense of harmony..

“Can I have some too?” A voice suddenly sounded beside her. Mathew looked down at Chloe; hisdark blue eyes were cold, yet there was also a hint of anticipation. Chloe nodded and replied, “Ofcourse.”

Mathew smiled. He turned and walked to the table to serve himself some food onto his plate.

When Becky saw Mathew mingling in the crowd, her eyes instantly reddened. “What does Mathewmean?! I just said that Chloe is not worthy to eat the royal meals, and he turns around to eat thefood prepared especially for Chloe?!”

Barbara looked at Mathew with tightly pressed lips. “Don’t ask. He’s just trying to make you feelawkward. Can’t you see that?”

Becky was both angry and aggrieved, “Why?! Why is he helping an outsider in bullying us?!”

Barbara said nothing, a sense of unease surged in her heart. She couldn’t stay there any longer,her steps became a little frantic.

The chef had prepared a separate dinner for Chloe, tailored to her specific requirements.

Mathew sat across from Chloe with his plate. He watched her eat with relish before glancing at thefew bright red peppers in the dishes before her. “If you like this kind of food, then royal foodprobably really isn’t to your taste.”

Chloe didn’t hold back, “I was indeed forcing myself, just so I won’t starve.”

Mathew took a bite of his food and replied, “I’ve never seen Mr. Harper treat anyone soconsiderately. You’re definitely the first. You’re lucky.”

“I think so too.” She always felt this way. Meeting Damon, she suddenly felt that all the injusticesshe had endured before were insignificant.

Mathew took a couple of bites, then pulled out a napkin to gently wipe his mouth, sitting across andquietly watching Chloe eat. As Chloe neared finishing hermeal,” Matthew spoke up, “You seem toeat a lot more than when you were in F Country.”

Chloe wiped her mouth, glanced at his plate, and noticed there was still plenty of food remaining.She tugged at her lip and replied, “Is this all you have eaten?”

Mathew smiled apologetically, understanding Chloe’s meaning. It appeared to be a matter ofpersonal preference

Having grown up with Y Country’s cuisine, Matthew couldn’t immediately embrace the food from ZCountry, regardless of how well it was prepared this time. Likewise, compared to the food Cholehad in F Country, the traditional Z Country cuisine she was enjoying now clearly suited her palatebetter. It was only natural that she ate more.

Barbara left the dining room in search of Ava. She searched around in circles and eventuallydiscovered her near the garden’s fountain, accompanied by Cole.

“Mom!” Barbara shouted out.

The two appeared engrossed in a serious conversation, and when they heard Barbara’s voice, Avaturned to her with a somewhat displeased expression. “Why the

haste?”

Barbara was seldom seen in such a flustered state. Although she seemed composed on thesurface, her voice had just betrayed her inner turmoil.

*What’s wrong?” Ava asked again.

Barbara pulled Ava aside and said, “Mom, when did Mathew get so close to Chloe?”

Ava frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

“In the dining room earlier, I noticed that Mathew and Chloe appeared quite acquainted” Barbarasaid.

“Why would their relationship concern you?” Ava asked in confusion.

Barbara bit her lip and said, ‘I’m wondering if Mathew has discovered something?”

“Impossible! If he knew, why would he remain idle? He would have reclaimed them by now.” Avawas quite confident in her assessment. She held a genuine concern for Yasmine and Chloe, andshe was well aware of those who were prying into their affairs. No one had a better understandingthan her. She was entirely

convinced that no one within the royal family was aware of their secret.

Barbara breathed a sigh of relief, it indeed seemed that way.

Still, she couldn’t shake this feeling of unease. Why the heck was that?

“Alright, I’ve never seen the two of them rubbing elbows before. As long as we get through this statebanquet without a hitch, there won’t be anything to worry about in the future. Why was Mathew atthe restaurant? You guys didn’t stir up any trouble for me, did you?” Ava asked.
