Chapter 1684

“William has been spending all his time with that woman. He barely comes back to the palace, and Idon't even get to see him. How am I supposed to pay my attention to him, Mother? He..."

Queen Julia extended her hand to stop her words, feeling a bit of a headache as she held herforehead. If she didn't intervene, Ava would undoubtedly vent her grievances, and Julia simply didnot have the energy to deal with her at the moment.

Ava paused, her expression frozen in the midst of almost crying, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"That's between you and your husband, Ava. No matter how much I say, it won't help. William hasrepeatedly expressed his intention to bring that woman home, and each time, I've refused him. Buthis resolve hasn't wavered. If you don't fight for what you want, I don't know how long I can refusehim for you. "He is your husband after all. Here in Y Country, we've never strictly adhered tomonogamy. Most duchesses and countesses have sister wives, and they all live harmoniously.William is my own nephew, and yet, out of consideration for your feelings, I've never allowed him tobring that woman home. Ava, you can't always rely on me to preserve your family."

Ava clenched her teeth, a surge of humiliation and anger welling up within her. She had alwaysbeen sheltered, but now, somehow Julia had suddenly changed her tune.

“lL understand. I'll replace a chance to talk to him."

"Good. If you're free, take Barbara and Becky to see him more often. Don't always keep yourdistance, waiting for him to take the initiative to compromise."

Ava remained silent, her lack of respect evident. But she didn't have the energy or mood to appeaseJulia at the moment. As she left the room, she leaned against the hallway wall, her head spinning

from the anger.

Everything had changed. Everything. Everything was subtly shifting against her, and all because ofChloe.

Her eyes flashed with a deep resentment and ruthlessness. She could never tolerate this woman.

Barbara and Becky were waiting for Ava in the garden outside. They had seen their grandmother'sattitude yesterday and wanted their mother to test the waters. If things were fine, they'd go in; if not,there was no need to walk into an unpleasant situation.

Occasionally, a group of young maids would walk by, their conversations all revolving around therecently returned Chloe.

"The princess who just returned is no ordinary person. I have been paying attention to her, andmany of the legends about her are true."

"Yeah, I just commissioned someone to buy the perfume designed by her. I truly love it. She istalented and capable. Now, she has suddenly become the official princess of our royal family. Whata life! It's absolutely enviable."

"Did you forget the most crucial point? Her boyfriend right now is Mr. Harper, who is held in highesteem by our entire royal family. Although we don't know his exact background, this treatment issufficient to prove that he is definitely not common. He was once the notorious CEO of the HarperGroup internationally. He has the looks, body, and aura that makes women's hearts flutter! Whatwoman wouldn't like him? Even our royal family's other two princesses, anyone with keenobservation would notice they are interested in him!"

"Do they still stand a chance? Mr. Harper and Ms. Chloe are already in a relationship. It's utterlyimpossible for them to break up for these two princesses. Moreover, the princess is of the real royal

lineage. Anyone would not consider other options."

“Pfft! If those two princesses heard these words, they might want to kill you!"

"Stop talking about it now. If these words reach the ears of those two princesses, It really wouldn'tbe good."

The girls sat back-to-back on a bench, wishing they could silence those gossiping maids.

“Chloe, that bitch. How much more does she want before she's satisfied?" Becky, the most easilyprovoked of the two, spat out.

Barbara's eyebrows furrowed, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists. Chloe had the mostprestigious status and the best man. Everything she had was something to be envious of.

No, not envious. She was a princess of the royal family, why would she envy anyone?

At this moment, Ava also walked over, and Barbara, seeing her expression, immediately knew theanswer.

The ride home was quiet. However, when they were almost home, Ava suddenly spoke up, "Do youknow who's driving the royal car to the hotel tomorrow?"

The driver thought for a moment, "It's Otis."

"So he's off today?"

"Yes, ma'am."

“Where does he live?"

The driver gave her an address.

Ava nodded, Becky looked at her in confusion. Just as she was about to speak, Barbara pressedher hand, clearly reminding her of something. Therefore, she didn't dare say anything further andopened the car door to step out.

The next evening at seven, Chloe, under Damon's supervision, donned the outfit he had chosen forher.

The loose dress concealed her belly perfectly. The caramel color highlighted her skin, the long,loose sleeves concealing her hands. Damon helped fold up a bit of the sleeve, revealing herdelicate wrists.

Ignoring her figure, her unique aura made the dress exhibit a different style on her. There was aninexplicable sense of elegance.

Chloe was surprised at how well the dress fit. Its simple design was actually filled with intricatedetails. It was definitely a dress that could be worn as an evening gown.

Her previous doubts about Damon's taste were silently retracted. Not many would wear a knit dressto a banquet though.

Damon finally helped her put on a coat, wrapping her up tightly before they descended the stairs.

Downstairs, a driver in royal uniform was already waiting for her by a luxurious car adorned with theY Country flag. Seeing her approach, he bowed politely and opened the door for Chloe to get in.

Damon escorted her into the car, and once she was settled, the driver closed the door, bowed toDamon, and then got into the vehicle. These actions, while appearing respectful, effectively deniedDamon the chance to get into the car.

Realizing the driver's intention, Chloe frowned and tried to speak, but the car had already startedmoving. She squinted, looking at the driver through the rear-view mirror. “Aren't we missing

someone? Didn't you notice?"

The driver looked up to the rear-view mirror, his gaze meeting Chloe's. "I'm sorry, but the Queenonly instructed me to take you to Miss Fiona's birthday banquet. She didn't mention anyone else.You may not know, not everyone is entitled to ride in the royal coach. I'm simply following the rules."

Chloe looked at him for a moment longer, “Pull over"

The driver showed no signs of stopping, "These are the royal rules. Even stopping the car won'tchange a thing, I beg your understanding, princess."
