The ensuing conversation didn’t last long. Queen Julia expressed a brief word of gratitude and theninstructed the servants to commence serving the food one dish at a time.

The state banquet gradually commenced amidst the chit–chat

A state banquet and an ordinary party were two distinct entities Everyone had their designatedplace, there was no room for moving around. It simple terms, it was not an unstructured gatheringEach attendee was a significant figure on the international stage, representing their respectivenations. As a result, no one was willing to make a mistake.

Despite the Queen’s cheerful demeanor, she was secretly anxious. One couldn’t afford to make amistake at such a significant event.

Witnessing the smooth progress, she began to relax slightly However, before long, a figure humedinto her view.

“Granny Becky shouted out.

Queen Julia’s expression faltered.

All heads turned toward the side door of the banquet hall, from which emerged a petite woman in apink princess dress, running. She headed straight for Queen Julia and said out loud, “Granny”Becky summoned the courage to rush forward and shout once more.

It then became clear to the perplexed crowd.

Ah, she’s the Queen’s granddaughter”

“What on earth are you doing here?! Don’t you realize where you are?‘ Queen Julia’s countenanceturned stem, her voice icy.

Becky thought she’d probably get into trouble regardless, so she decided to crash the state banquetfirst. She didn’t care about the possible repercussions. After all, her grandmother wouldn’t actuallyharm het

1 was just curious, and I wanted to be part of the state banquet too! Becky said.

Becky’s attitude was like that of a spoiled child. If people didn’t know about the foolish thing she didearlier, they wouldn’t dislike her just by looking at her now.

Everyone there respected Queen Julia, and many even deliberately complimented the Queen.

“Since she’s a princess, we can still share a meal together. Someone said.

“Yeah, it’s refreshing to see a young and vibrant girl among us old folks; it makes me feel a bityounger.”

Hearing others go along with it, Becky blinked her eyes, standing not far from Queen Julia, lookinghopeful and wronged. This expression made even more people laugh, echoing her.

Julia suppressed her anger, put on a smile, and said, “Get her a chair, then.”

Becky grinned.

Ava followed behind, her legs going weak at the doorway. Luckily others didn’t mind. Otherwise,she had no idea how the banquet would turn out. But she could tell that Queen Julia wasn’tspoiling Becky, she just wanted the state banquet to go smoothly and didn’t want to contradictanyone there.

As for Becky, she would replace out her punishment soon enough.

Becky sat obediently beside Queen Julia, wearing an innocent smile.

A few people laughed, “I heard the Queen has two granddaughters, Barbara and Becky; they soundlike twins. Why didn’t they come together?”

‘That’s right, the lively and spirited young lady here must be Princess Becky!

“Where’s her sister, then?”

Becky was a bit upset when she heard Barbara’s name. She pouted and said, “My sister ispreparing a surprise for granny tonight; she should be…

‘Becky!‘ Barbara had been watching Becky’s antics backstage. When she heard Becky say this, sheimmediately interrupted her. Then she slowly walked out from behind the curtain.

She was wearing the evening gown that Ava had prepared for them in advance, originally intendedto be worn at tomorrow night’s banquet.

The form–fitting gown showcased her tall, slender figure. Her hair was carefully styled, and she waswearing a full set of diamond jewelry. Her makeup was naturally done by the royal makeup artist

She looked every bit the noble and elegant princess.

“That’s Princess Barbara!”

“She really has the royal bearing. Her temperament is quite impressive.”

“Yes, she’s not only beautiful but also seems intelligent. If there’s a chance… ha–ha…”

“But she’s a princess, after all. There are some things we can’t just think about.”

That person obviously had his eyes on Barbara, dreaming of his son marrying her. But, after all, shewas a princess Even though they were dignitaries from other countries with clean backgrounds,marrying a princess still posed challenges. Besides, the princess might not be interested in them.

Praises came one after another. Becky was even more displeased seeing Barbara basking in thecompliments. She even wore the dress that was prepared earlier. Was she planning on coming hereall along?

Even if she was preparing a surprise, why did she have to wear that dress today? She was justtrying to be the center of attention!

So annoying! Becky shot her a dirty look, but Barbara had already walked off to one side.

“Granny” Barbara said.

Queen Julia’s face was slightly displeased, but she still smiled at her, “Becky said you prepared asurprise, what is it?”

Barbara smiled lightly and said in a hushed voice, ‘Since it’s a surprise, it has to be kept a secret.Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a surprise.”

Queen Julia chuckled, her sharp eyes fixed on Becky for a long time before she said, “I hope youdon’t disappoint me later.”

Barbara nodded, “Granny can I join the state banquet too?”

Queen Julia nodded and instructed the servant, “Get a chair over here.”

Before long, Barbara was also sitting beside Queen Julia. One on each side.

The invited journalists from various countries captured this scene.

Ava, standing in the shadows, heaved a sigh of relief at this sight. She leaned against the wall,forcing herself to stand despite her exhaustion. However, the expression on her face didn’tcompletely relax. She just hoped that in the hustle and bustle of the state banquet, her mother couldforget about Becky’s earlier mention of Chloe and Yasmine. She can’t let her mother know abouttheir existence.

Thinking about this, she paused, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes. If she was so anxious, why notjust get rid of the one who should’ve been dead long ago? Once she was gone, no one couldinterfere with her current status and lifestyle.

With a stern face, she staggered out of the banquet hall, got into a car, and immediately made aphone call. The moment the call connected, she blurted out, “I want Yasmine gone from this worldforever”

There was silence on the other end of the line, then a response, ‘Okay‘

Meanwhile, back home, it was nine in the morning

The situation at Harper Group was, to put it mildly, a hot mess
