Chapter 1689

Chloe’s frankness left Barbara momentarily speechless, and the driver wore a look of sheer panic,his eyes pleading for help.

Seeing Chloe about to leave, Barbara stepped forward hastily. “But there’s no need to involvegrandma in this. Do you know how busy she is every day? If she has to deal with every little thing,don’t you think it’s too much?”

Chloe paused in her tracks.

Relieved, Barbara continued, “You’ve been away for so many years and now that you’re back, areyou really going to cause her all these problems? Chloe, don’t be so selfish. Everyone knowsgrandma adores you, but you can’t just want her to stand up for you whenever you face a littledifficulty Can’t you consider her feelings for once?”

Chloe turned around slowly, her face calm and composed. Her voice was light as she replied c2

“You’re saying everything that happened today is trivial? If such a life–and–death matter is trivial,then in your opinion, what qualifies as a big deal?”

“Today’s incident was just a misunderstanding, and the driver was only concerned about your safetyBesides, he wouldn’t risk his own life, would he? Moreover, you’re perfectly fine now, why bothergrandma and scare her?”

Chloe raised an eyebrow and muttered, “Misunderstanding.”

A cold smirk appeared on her lips, “1, the victim, don’t think it’s a misunderstanding, yet you,someone who weren’t there claim it is? Sounds like you know more about what happened than Ido.”

Barbara’s relaxed expression tightened instantly. “I just think the driver wouldn’t do something sostupid.”

Chloe chuckled and slid her hands into the pockets of her down jacket, her gaze on Barbara lightand smiley

don’t care what you think. It’s about what I think. I believe someone is deliberately targeting me. Sohow we proceed and resolve this is up to me. Got

“Uh “Nate, standing by, took a second to digest Chloe’s words before his emotions got the better ofhim.

Well, very well. This was so Chloe. At times, she can be just as blunt as Damon

Barbara was once again speechless.

This woman was like a steel wall that no weapon could penetrate. Her arrogant attitude wasannoying

Barbara couldn’t come up with a response, her anger growing with each passing moment She hada feeling that if she spent more time with this woman, she’d end up dead from frustration.

Becky stared in disbelief at Chloe, her face full of confusion. How could this woman be soannoying?

“You you

The atmosphere was awkward as Barbara fell silent, clearly overwhelmed by Chloe’s confidenceand eloquence. Becky was unwilling to back down, but found herself at a loss for words.

Nate found the situation amusing, it was rare to see Chloe being so serious yet adorable Heglanced at Damon, whose expression didn’t look too good. He quickly hid his smile.

Seeing no changes in the situation, Chloe gave Barbara and Becky a faint smile and walkedtowards Damon.

The driver was truly scared now. If things got escalated to the Queen, he would lose his job for sure.Moreover, he was likely to be blacklisted in the Y Country Even survival would be a problem by then

“Princess Barbara, you must help me

Barbara clenched her teeth, shooting him a cold glance full of warning. “What’s the rush? if you’reinnocent, it doesn’t matter if the matter goes to the Queen Are you doubting the Queen’sjudgment?”

The driver held his tongue, realizing he had revealed too much panic. He bit his lip and fell silent

Nate hoisted him up and shoved him into the so–called royal private car

“Sir, I’ll take him away first After reporting to Damon and receiving has approval, he got into thedriver’s seat and started the car.

The driver, looking utterly hopeless, had long discarded any royal etiquette

After turning the car around, Nate glanced at the car parked on the side where Barbara and Beckywere, a hint of mild sarcasm appearing on his face. It was truly unimpressive.

Damon and Chloe got into the car and drove back towards the Duke Dubonnet mansion.

The highway was left to Barbara and Becky. There was nothing but the sound of the waves A gustof cold wind blew by, causing Becky to shiver She hugged herself and rubbed her arms vigorously

“Barbara, what do we do now?”

Barbara’s face was icy, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. Becky’s lips were turning palefrom the cold. She stomped her feet and said in a trembling voice, “It’s so cold. Let’s get in the car”

Barbara didn’t respond but turned and walked towards the car. Becky hurriedly followed.

The car was warm from the heater. Becky sighed. “It’s so cold outside.”

Barbara’s lips were also pale from the cold, and her body was slightly trembling. After a while, shefinally spoke, “Drive”

The driver hesitated, “Where to?”

Chapter 1689

Barbara was inexplicably angered by his question, “You… cough… cough…”

Just as she opened her mouth, tiekle in her throat triggered a severe coughing fit. Becky was aboutto tease her about her delicate constitution, but then she herself started sneezing.

The driver silently turned up the heater. He had met Barbara’s gazes and understood her intention.He started the car and drove on.

Barbara didn’t say anything else

“That little bitch Chloe is totally fine right now. Will Granny be upset if we go to the banquet then?”Becky asked.

Barbara retorted in a chilling tone, “She represents the royal family 1 represent myself. It’s just abirthday celebration for a friend. What can she possibly say?”

Becky’s gloomy eyes instantly lit up. Exactly. We’ve known Fiona since we were kids, and it’s onlynatural for us to celebrate her birthday. Barbara, you’re

the smartest. I didn’t even think of that.”

Barbara curled her lips into a smirk, “Chloe is a crafty one. If you don’t start using your brain, youwon’t even know what hit you in the end.”
