“So she’s the one…” Queen Julia’s eyes were glued to the tall, slender figure on stage. Shecouldn’t tear her eyes away from the woman. Even her heart was beating faster than usual. Astrong sense of familiarity made Julia tense all over.

Judging by her age, the woman in front of her clearly wasn’t her Jasmine. Moreover, her featuresalso greatly differed from those of Jasmine in her memory. But why did she always feel like shesaw a hint of Jasmine in the woman’s eyes?

And her powerful aura was also making her heart race. Why couldn’t she control herself and whydid she have the urge to hug her?

At some point, Julia’s eyes were filled with intense longing and passion.

Was it just because the girl was too charismatic? Yes, otherwise, how could she have attracted aman like Mr. Harper? It must have been her illusion, right?

Ever since Chloe took the stage, Queen Julia’s aura had noticeably changed.

Barbara had always been sensitive to Queen Julia’s first meeting with Chloe. Seeing Queen Julia’scurrent state, she became anxious. She couldn’t help but glance at the person on stage. There wassuch a big distance between Chloe and Queen Julia, and this was their first meeting. They didn’thave any conversation, so why was Queen Julia reacting so strongly?

Could it be that blood relations really unknowingly drew two people closer? No, how could that be?They didn’t even look alike!

Barbara gritted her teeth, glanced at Becky, who was glaring at Chloe, and whispered, “Does theQueen know Ms. Chloe?”

}

Upon hearing Chloe’s name, Becky immediately said unhappily, “Who is she? What makes herworthy of the Queen’s notice? the Queen is busy all day. She doesn’t have time to care about &nobody.” Barbara glanced at Becky. This is not the time for you to throw a tantrum. You shouldlearn from others‘ strengths. Her companies are all thriving, she’s been the internationallyrenowned leading perfumer for three consecutive years, and now even got invited to perform atthe state banquet…”

Becky rolled her eyes impatiently, saying, “You’re always praising others and not seeing your ownstrengths! You can play the piano too. Aren’t you better than her? The arrangement of this programis unreasonable. Why would they schedule two piano performances together? Aren’t they afraidthe audience will get bored?”

Becky’s voice was loud, and the surrounding guests all heard her words.

‘Becky, watch your mouth!” Barbara immediately reprimanded Becky in a low voice, shaking herhead disapprovingly at her.

‘I didn’t say anything wrong. The content of this program does indeed overlap! You just performed apiece in the Z Country style, and Chloe is also from the Z. Country, so her performance must alsobe characterized by national traits, right? This is supposed to be a piano program, yet all we hear isthe Z Country style. It really grinds my gears!”

Queen Julia sat in the middle, her face turning extremely unpleasant. The people around her alllooked over, making her feel very embarrassed.

‘Princess Becky, you need to mind your words!” Lea felt the sudden change in Queen Julia’s moodand quietly reminded Becky.

“Mind my words? I am minding my words. With so many distinguished guests here, we should, ofcourse, provide them with the best treatment. This program arrangement is just unreasonable.”“Becky! If you say one more word, you must leave immediately!” Queen Julia’s voice was low,showing her anger, which scared Becky.

“Your Majesty…”

“Becky!” Barbara suddenly reprimanded in a low voice. “You think the arrangement of the statebanquet is inappropriate? Do you know who that would embarrass?”

Becky was stunned, and her face turned pale. Looking at Queen Julia’s displeased face, she felteven more flustered.

But Becky’s words did have some influence on other people. Although no one said anything, theirfaces clearly showed boredom.

Reporters nearby were whispering-

‘Indeed, watching two performances back–to–back is a bit awkward.”

Yeah, it would–be fine if there was a break in between, or at least they could switch the order. InPrincess Barbara’s piano performance just now, that piano alone was pleasing to the eye, but nowthis…

“Compared to that, this is indeed a bit lacking…”

Seeing this, Barbara secretly rejoiced. Becky would be punished sooner or later, and one moretime wouldn’t make a difference. If she could make Chloe mortified at this state banquet, she would

need to manipulate the arrangements. Otherwise, how else could she make Chloe feelembarrassed and force her to never return to this place stained with her disgrace?

Intentionally scheduling Barbara’s performance before Chloe’s would not only have theperformances overlap, but also, since Barbara’s performance was first, the guests wouldundoubtedly feel fatigued by Chloe’s performance.

Chloe would not have the upper hand in terms of auditory experience, and with Barbara’s crystalpiano setting the bar high, Chloe’s ordinary piano couldn’t compete in terms of visual effect.

Chloe’s performance would be subpar overall, making her trip to the state banquet a joke.

The news would spread around the world. She was going to be embarrassed, and she would neverbe able to hold her head high in front of the world.

Unlike Wendy, who tried so hard yet couldn’t shake Chloe, Barbara just had to pull a simple trick tolet the whole world know she was the most prestigious princess of the Y Country, while also makingChloe get embarrassed.

Killing two birds with one stone!

Barbara smiled faintly, and, looking back at Chloe on stage, she suddenly felt a lot better.

Chloe stood in front of the piano, bowed to the audience below the stage, then lifted her skirt andsat down.

Out of courtesy, the audience below the stage also quietly watched her.

The light cascaded down on her, illuminating her poised posture, delicate profile, and skin sosmooth it practically glowed. The tranquil aura she emitted calmed down the guests, who werepreviously agitated by Becky’s words.

Watching the poised woman on the stage, Becky was filled with contempt. “Pffft… What’s sospecial about her?”

Even the most patient person would lose their cool around Becky. Queen Julia cast a glance at theguests focused on the stage and slowly rose from her seat.

Your Majesty…” Lea immediately walked over.

‘I need a break. My head is killing me!”

“Alright!” Lea quickly responded, stepping forward to assist Queen Julia. But Barbara beat her toit.

I’ve got this. With that, Barbara took hold of Queen Julia’s arm.

Queen Julia didn’t resist. She simply left her seat with Barbara’s help. But before she could taketwo steps, a beautiful piano melody suddenly filled the banquet hall. Queen Julia stopped in hertracks, her hand resting on her forehead, frozen in place.

Barbara was puzzled. “Your Majesty, what’s…”

Before she could finish, she felt the woman she was supporting start to tremble noticeably.

Sounds kept flowing into her ears.

Notes, rhythm, melody, voices…

Queen Julia slowly turned, her gaze landing on the figure sitting quietly on the stage. Her pupilscontracted, her lips trembling uncontrollably…
