Ava’s hands were shaking uncontrollably as she watched Becky get knocked to the ground, still notquite grasping the situation. Her heart was trembling even more under the weight of her rage.

Not for any other reason. Just because the phrase, “her mother“, Becky mentioned which hadinstantly ignited the fury deep within her!

How dare she mention Yasmine here? How dare she?

The one she had been running from her whole life, the one she’d been so careful to conceal herwhole life. She didn’t even dare to mention that person’s name, but her daughter casually let slip aword, nearly revealing a secret she had hidden for almost 40 years.

What the hell was she trying to do? Go tell the Queen and let the Queen avenge her? And thenwhat?

The Queen wouldn’t have to think too hard to connect the dots to Yasmine and Chloe. How couldshe face the lie she had told all those years ago?

She knew the Queen was yearning for her own daughter her whole life. She knew Yasmine wasalive and well, yet she told her she was dead, and kept it from her for half her life. If the truth wereto came out, how was she going to explain to the Queen?

Would her princess status and everything she had disappear just like that?

She couldn’t mention Yasmine! Especially not in front of the Queen! What a foolish girl! How did sheend up with such a useless child!?

Queen Julia was taken aback by Ava’s sudden outburst and could clearly see her anger and panic.She slowly turned her head, squinting her eyes toward Ava. “Ava, are you nervous?”

She casually pointed out Ava’s current state, and Ava’s eyes flashed uncontrollably with tension.

Her body swayed, her lips trembled, and her mouth became dry. “I…”

“Why are you nervous?” Queen Julia asked coldly.

Ava’s legs under her long skirt were also trembling; she could barely stand. She swallowed, herthroat so dry it felt like it was about to split

“Mom, I’m not. it was Becky, she sneaked off to P City and caused a mess. I was afraid you’d beangry. Now, things are getting worse.” Ava came up with a somewhat reasonable excuse, althoughstuttering, but it should be clear enough.

Queen Julia stared at her quietly. Ava didn’t dare to meet her gaze, keeping her head down. Herwhole body trembled with tension, especially knowing that Queen Julia’s gaze was fixed on her.

Becky’s crying filled the room, its sound particularly piercing.

Finally, Queen Julia looked away and turned her gaze to Becky. “Anyway, now is a crucial momentfor the state banquet. We absolutely cannot afford any mistakes! You, as a princess of the royalfamily, what’s the meaning of this arrogant attitude in front of so many artists? Do you know whatwould happen if those artists didn’t show up at the state banquet? The entire royal family of YCountry would become the laughingstock of the world! Becky, haven’t you considered these basicthings? How could you not know about such an important matter?!”

Becky was crying; she knew very early she had done something wrong today, and already got ascolding from Barbara. Now, she got slapped by her mother and faced her grandma’s reprimand.

She had done so many dirty jobs today, yet no one was there to comfort or understand her! At thatmoment, her heart was filled with intense dissatisfaction and resentment.

Queen Julia fully understood her attitude at the moment upon seeing her expression. “You’re soreckless, arrogant, and irrational. You don’t know how to repent! You’re grounded for a month!Relearn all about morality and etiquette!”

Upon hearing this, Becky suddenly looked up at her and, “No, grandma, I want to go to the statebanquet.”

“Don’t you understand what I’m saying?” Queen Julia asked.

Ava quickly responded, “I’ll have someone take her away immediately!”

Queen Julia didn’t mention the recent incident again. Ava breathed a sigh of relief, only hoping thatBecky would learn her lesson.

“Wait.” As Ava was about to pull Becky up from the floor, Queen Julia’s voice rang out again.

She looked up and saw Queen Julia turn her head to address Lea, saying, “Go and fetch Mrs.Harper. Have Becky apologize to her.”

Ava’s hand holding Becky’s arm suddenly tightened. “I won’t!” Becky yelled out suddenly.

Queen Julia’s eyebrows furrowed, and Lea glanced at her watch, saying, “The state banquet isabout to start. You should get ready to leave.”

Queen Julia also glanced at the clock, then nodded, “Then take her away first!”

A hint of unwillingness flashed in Becky’s eyes, but in the end, Ava forcefully dragged her out.

Ten minutes later, Ava tried to get Becky into the car, but Becky broke free.

“Becky!” Ava yelled

“You hit me! I hate you! Why should I apologize to that woman? She’s only invited to play the pianoon stage! I can play the piano too!! I’d rather see if she can turn the plane piece into a tune that onlya god can hear?!” After saying that, Becky picked up her skirt and ran off.

Ava didn’t react in time, it was too late to grab her. “Becky!!” Ava screamed.

Their car was parked at the side entrance, not far from the main entrance of the state banquet. Shedidn’t dare to shout out loud, just picked up her pace and chased after Becky

The scale of the state banquet was naturally unprecedented.

The guests attending the state banquet included foreign diplomats from various countries and topinternational elites. It also featured representatives from various countries‘ important economicsectors.

To host this international feast, the Y Country had invested a substantial amount of money torenovate the current state banquet mansion.

The vintage and splendid palace, the expansive green gardens, numerous fountains and wishingpools, and the abundance of corridors adorned with lifelike

carvings, ornate cages, engraved inscriptions, and dazzling lights–all contributed to the grandeurand magnificence of the entire state banquet mansion.

The entrance of the state banquet hall was covered with a long red carpet. Guests emerged fromtheir luxury cars and walked along the red carpet into the hall. Above the high dome hung a brightand dazzling chandelier. Even though it was dark outside, the state banquet hall was as bright asday. The light from the chandelier illuminated everyone, making them appear even more elegantand noble.

Once all the guests had entered the state banquet hall, and the waiters had carefully escorted eachVIP to their respective seats, only then did Queen Julia make her leisurely entrance.

She had dressed herself in new attire wearing a formal champagne–gold dress. She adorned a redagate on her chest, which cost a fortune, along with a golden crown peppered with diamonds and afew blue gems on her head. All dressed up like this, it was evident that she was showing herrespect for the banquet and all the attending guests.

As she came into view, all the guests in the hall rose to show their respect.

Queen Julia took her place at the head of the table, flashing a gentle smile at the crowd.
