Chapter 1688

Not until Chloe’s shaky legs found their grounding did Damon let her go. Damon lowered his headto look at the wrinkled front of his shirt and pursed his lips. Had she not clung to his shirt from themoment those two women appeared, he would have seriously considered throwing them, along withthat driver, off the cliff nearby

Chloe slowly approached Barbara and Becky, swaddled in a cozy down jacket that seemed warmeven to the naked eye. Yet, her slightly bulky figure, inching closer to them, stirred a sense ofunease within the two women.

“What are you up to?” Becky leaned towards Barbara for support

Chloe stopped a few steps away from them, wearing a smirk that didn’t quite reach her eyes. An icyglint in her eyes was impossible to hide.

What brings you here?” Chloe retorted, her gaze sweeping over them with a clear hint of mockeryc2

“Of course we “Before Becky could finish her sentence, Barbara suddenly grabbed her wrist andpulled her back, causing her to stagger.

“Nothing. Becky has a bad temper and it gives our mother headaches, so I brought her out for abreather”

Chloe let out a scoff, nodding slightly. “Is that so“”

She took a look at Barbara and tightened her grip on her jacket. You two sure know how to have agood time, coming to the middle of nowhere for a

stroll

Becky failed to understand Chloe’s sarcasm, “What, we can’t? What does our stroll have to do withyou?”

In that case, why ask me what happened?”

Barbara was taken aback. You you are really ungrateful

Chloe took a deep breath, her face relaxing into an indifferent expression. “After all these years, youtwo have been taking care of Grandma I should be thanking you I have no right to question whereyou go for a walk. I’m just curious. You came to such a place for a stroll in the evening, and dressedso lightly. You should take care to keep warm”

Upon hearing this, both Barbara and Becky stiffened, their faces turning red in embarrassment.They both instinctively hugged themselves, their eyes darting around nervously

Nate, standing beside them, scanned them with a glance before letting out an undisguised chuckle.

“You…you dare laugh at us?” Becky flared up.

Nate replied nonchalantly “You’re overthinking. I was merely admiring how beautiful you twoprincesses look tonight.”

Barbara bit her lip, her face tensed

Both Barbara and Becky were dressed in elaborate gowns, their makeup perfectly done, and theirhair carefully styled. Their jewelry was clearly hand–picked from a selection of the finest. Under theheadlights of several cars, the jewelry sparkled and shone as brightly as the stars twinkling

overhead, extravagant and luxurious

Given the winter season and their location by the sea, no person in their right mind would choose towear such thin gowns to such a place for a stroll Even if they were in the car, no one would dresslike this Unless they had been prepared all along.

Chloe didn’t buy their excuse of going for a stroll. As for their actual intention.

She let out a cold laugh. Even if she hadn’t died in the accident earlier, she would have been injuredto some extent, or at least been left disheveled. Appearing at the Duke’s banquet in such a statewould have made her the laughingstock of the evening. This would have brought disgrace to theroyal family

They had dressed up like this to come here, clearly expecting her to have been injured or evenkilled in the accident. Their real aim for tonight was to replace her

A stroll How ridiculous

“We’re not cold. Mind your own business.”

Chices words had made even Becky realize her underlying meaning

Chloe responded with a faint smile, Fair enough. In that case, I won’t disturb your stroll. It’s gettinglate and I need to attend Ms. Dubonnet’s birthday party Goodbye”

Upon hearing this, both Barbara and Becky’s faces darkened significantly, looking indescribablyunpleasant and grim. Seeing the two cars in front had stopped, they both assumed that Chloe hadmet with an accident as per their plan

Excited, the two of them got out of the car without thinking, not even noticing the cold air that hitthem. When they saw Chloe standing there unharmed, they were disappointed and couldn’t acceptthe reality

Now that Chloe had pointed out their inappropriate attire they realized how conspicuous they were

Chloe had seen through their scheme, and Barbara felt extremely embarrassed She spokenonchalantly, the smirk in her eyes making Barbara feel more humiliated

Ignoring Barbara and Becky, Chloe turned to Nate and said, “First, get the driver under arrest forme. After i attend Ms. Dubonnet’s birthday party, i take him to have a serious conversation withGrandma about his misconduct

At this point, the driver finally reacted, looking towards Barbara and Becky with a panickedexpression. His plea for help was notably apparent.

Barbara clenched her fists, hesitated for a moment, then said to Chloe Chloe, the driver is after all adedicated driver for the royal family. He is still wearing our royal uniform. Only we, the royal familymembers, have the right to purush him

If he has done something wrong or his skills are not up to par, we can retrain him or terminate hisemployment.”

“Besides, he’s just a driver. There’s no need to bother Grandma and upset her over such a minorissue. Let’s do this instead, if you trust me, hand him over to me. I will question him thoroughly. Ifthe situation is indeed serious…”

“Sorry,” Chloe cut her off, “I don’t trust you.”

Barbara didn’t know how to respond.

Becky had always seen Barbara being admired and idolized since they were kids. Barbara wasused to hearing praises and compliance. Never had she seen Barbara being left speechless by

someone’s retort like today. That was brutally blunt.

Even without looking at Barbara’s expression, Becky could gauge just how grim her face hadbecome at this moment.

Ever since Barbara showed up, the driver had gradually calmed down. He knew Barbara would doeverything within her power to save him.

Although Chloe was the true princess, the two youngest princesses here had been the Queen’sfavored ones in Y Country for many years. Chloe should at least respect that. Regardless of thecircumstances, she should extend some courtesy to Princess Barbara. But to their surprise, shedidn’t give an inch.
