Chapter 1675

If Ava and her allies had the power to hire outlaws to do their dirty work, then surely they knewabout the deaths in the Alonso family. They were here not only to attend the funeral and deal withthe media but also to sow discord.

If Phoebe had one more enemy, it would save Ava and her mother a lot of trouble.

When it came to ruthlessness, Ava was a master at it. She had too advantage of Wendy till shedied, and was now considering using Phoebe.

If Wendy couldn't handle Ava, what hope did Phoebe have, being so innocent and guileless?.

Was Ava still plotting to replace peaple to deal with them?

Chloe was three months pregnant, and her belly was just beginning to show. After confirming thatshe wasn't simply gaining weight, Chloe found her growing belly fascinating.

During her video calls with Rose, she'd spend ages just pointing her phone's camera at her belly.“Look, my belly's popped. What about yours? Show me!"

Rose lifted her shirt to reveal her belly, but there was no significant change. “That's strange, I'm afew days ahead of you. Why is your belly showing and mine isn't?"

Chloe grinned smugly. “I'm carrying twins."

"Get lost! So what if you're having twins? Your daughter will marry my son anyway."

Chloe accepted this without argument and looked at Rose through the camera, reminding her, “Takecare of yourself. Nothing is more important than your child..."

“You've got some nerve saying that!” Rose retorted. “Who was it that insisted on going to theborder? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is there?"

Chloe sighed, Rose always knew how to hit where it hurt.

After enduring Rose's scolding, the call ended. Chloe had wanted to tell Rose about her plans to goto Y Country but ended up keeping it to herself.

In order to make her departure seem natural, Chloe stayed with Yasmine for a few days. Yasminehad been kidnapped not long ago, so if Chloe left immediately, the sharp-minded Yasmine wouldlikely guess her reasons for going to Y Country.

As the weather grew colder and New Year's Day approached, Chloe finally used the excuse ofneeding to try on her coronation dress to tell Yasmine and Elizabeth about her plans to visit YCountry.

Since Damon, the "kept boy,’ was accompanying her, Elizabeth didn't object. She watched Chloewith a detached expression. Her thin lips were holding back many words.

In the end, she simply told Damon to, “take care of Chloe"

For Damon, this was a given. Chloe didn't say anything further.

Ever since Yasmine's kidnapping, Boyd had been even more protective of her. Despite GreenfieldVillage already being heavily guarded, he still had a large number of men stationed around thearea. Whenever Yasmine left the house, Boyd would arrange for at least ten men to follow herovertly. He himself was always by her side.

Even when Yasmine got angry several times, he didn't back down. The previous incident had clearlyleft him shaken. So with Boyd there, Chloe didn't need to worry about Yasmine's safety.

Chloe's sudden return to ¥ Country, without any warning, had Ava on high alert. She had alwayskept an eye on Chloe's movements, but she had no idea Chloe was returning to Y Country.

Clearly, Chloe had managed to evade her surveillance. This suggested that Chloe was up to nogood this time.

Queen Julia, however, was delighted by Chloe's arrival. She took Chloe to the royal designer'sstudio.

The dress was still incomplete, but knowing about Chloe's pregnancy, the designer had raised thewaistline slightly and added a layer of thin gauze over the belly area, with a golden phoenix soaringon it.

Even having seen many designs, this dress still took Chloe's breath away.

“We know your body will change, so we've made the dress adjustable. You don't need to worryabout that.” The royal designer certainly knew how to handle details.

Chloe hadn't planned to try on the incomplete dress, but when she saw Ava, Barbara and Becky,she changed her mind. Especially when she saw the jealousy and anger on Becky's face, whichhad clearly been surgically enhanced and was still healing.

The easiest people to manipulate were those like Becky, whose intentions were transparent.

Barbara hadn't expected to see Chloe, whom she'd just met a week ago in P City, suddenly appearin Y Country.

Seeing Chloe take the dress into the changing room, her usually impassive face cracked.

Ava quietly took her hand. As Barbara's mother, she knew exactly how her daughter was feeling.Barbara had been currying favor with the Queen for years, hoping for a coronation ceremony. But

Chloe, who had just met the Queen and hadn't even been confirmed as a relative, had beenpromised a coronation.

Even if Chloe was a true granddaughter, how could she compare to their years of genuinecompanionship?

Some people, it seemed, were wolves in sheep's clothing.

The three women all had their own thoughts, but none of them were willing to leave early. Chloewas their biggest threat right now, and their only remaining card was the bond they had built withQueen Julia over the years. They couldn't afford to give Chloe the chance to replace them.

Even though the dress was only half-finished, when Chloe came out wearing it, everyone presentwas thoroughly dazzled.

Queen Julia was the happiest of all, pulling Chloe in for a closer look. Her eyes were full of love.“You look beautiful."

The designer also nodded in agreement, clearly satisfied with his design.

"If the dress looks this beautiful when it's only half done, it will surely amaze the world once it'sfinished.” Queen Julia couldn't help but express her admiration.

The designer chuckled. "Of course. The princess’ aura is simply stunning, and she shares such astriking resemblance to the queen. It truly is a testament to the royal bloodline. Once we add thecrown and jewelry specifically designed for the princess, she will undoubtedly dazzle the world."

Chloe had a small smile playing on her lips. She played with the hem of her gown and listened tothe praises without uttering a word, seemingly full of anticipation for the future. Her silent, smilingdemeanor was like a thorn in the eyes of the three women.

Becky couldn't hide her anger. “What are you doing here all of a sudden? Without even a courtesycall?!"
