Indeed, it was the power and influence that the two princesses had accumulated over the years inthe royal household. With so many eyes and ears in the palace, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake forthem to replace out anything they wanted?

Moreover, it was just a gift. There was no need to hide it. They didn’t expect, however, that thesetwo would use this to make a scene, attempting to embarrass the new princess.

People had been contemplating how Princesses Barbara and Becky would react to the arrival of thenew princess. Now, they knew for sure that these two truly couldn’t tolerate her.

Chloe was the legitimate princess with the royal bloodline. They were daughters of the child whowas adopted by the Queen.

Having enjoyed power and respect in the royal household for years, they probably feared losingtheir status to this newcomer. However, they were princesses after all, and people never believedthat the arrival of a new princess would mean Queen Julia would strip these

two of their titles.

Wouldn’t it be better to coexist peacefully rather than harbor ill–intentions?d2

But clearly, the two princesses didn’t think so.

Tonight, everyone had deeply felt their malice.

Barbara and Becky almost rushed to slap Chloe hard in the face.

This annoying woman!

Bit by bit, she was closing off all their escape routes. Now, everyone believed that their actionstonight were solely aimed at embarrassing her. Indeed, that was the case.

Anyone could tell from Chloe’s words that Princesses Barbara and Becky were intentionally trying toembarrass her. Their gazes towards the two princesses became complex.

Suspicion and sarcasm were the most common expressions they saw

A vein popped on Barbara’s forehead, and she was on the brink of exploding with anger. Tonight,she had intended to embarrass Chloe. not to make a fool of herself and tarnish her image

“Chloe, perhaps there’s been some misunderstanding? With so many people present today, it’sinevitable that some gifts will be repeated. Were all here to celebrate Fiona’s birthday, and it’s thethought that counts. I believe Fiona won’t mind whatever gifts we bring, let alone nitpick over them.Even if we did bring the same gifts, it’s probably just a coincidence. Are you overthinking this?Aren’t intentions the most important aspect of gift–giving?”

Chloe chuckled, “Yes, even if my gift was simply a box or a magical performance, it would be full ofmy sincerity.”

The implication hit home. It was a reference to when Becky had mocked her. Everyone back thenwas gleefully waiting to see her make a fool of herself, including Barbara

Barbara’s smile stiffened at Chloe’s words. It felt as if she had been slapped in the face by Chloe,causing a tingling pain. Her anger seemed to leak out bit by bit.

“Chloe, we’ve been giving Fiona birthday gifts every year, and there are only so many types tochoose from. We didn’t expect that you had prepared jewelry ahead of time Jewelry is a verycommon gift. Even if we gave the same thing, it doesn’t mean anything Now, are you suggestingthat we knew in advance what you were going to give Fiona, so we deliberately chose the same gift

to embarrass you in front of everyone? What’s so embarrassing about that? It’s you who’s holdingonto this issue and refusing to let go. Are you only satisfied when we admit that we had ulteriormotives? Fine, if that’s the case, then I’ll admit it. Everything you suspect is true. Are you satisfiednow? I don’t understand what you stand to gain by smearing our image and reputation, especiallysince we’re supposed to be

Sisters”

Barbara’s angry words were effective. After all, she had successfully constructed her image over theyears in Y Country. Her words sounded like those of a simple, naive, polite, generous, humble, andcourteous person who was cornered and just wanted peace. It seemed like Chloe was the onebeing aggressive Her tone was full of sorrow and helplessness.

The crowd was confused by her performance, and their gazes towards Chloe filled with suspicionand contempt. It seemed like the one who truly couldn’t tolerate others was the legitimate princessof the royal family.

Chloe, however, remained calrn and smiled faintly “Are you in a hurry? I was just explaining, and it’snot a big deal. As long as a gift is sincere, it’s always good. You were the ones eager for me topresent my gift, and you were the ones who scomed what I gave. Now that I changed the gift thatmy grandmother had prepared for me, you’re still not letting me off the hook, accusing me of beingaudacious Don’t I even have the right to explain?”

She had dealt with many people like these in the past. if they wanted to play the victim, she wouldshow them who was the real master of this game

“It seems like my life in the royal household is going to be tumultuous, right? Even defending myselfis seen as persistently blaming you, tarnishing your image, and damaging your reputation. In thatcase, I should speak less in the future. Otherwise, I might end up being labeled a criminal just

because of something I said. After all, I’m new here, and I can’t compete with your power andinfluence in

1/2

the royal household.”

She paused for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and saying, “Rest assured, you two. I’velearned my lesson from this incident. I’ll talk to Grandma when I get back. There are already twoprincesses in the royal household, and that’s more than enough. I’ll take my leave.”

Barbara’s legs tumed to jelly, stumbling back two steps, her breath hitching in her throat, almostchoked by Chloe’s words.

Every word, every sentence, was laced with accusation, declaring that they had no room for her, asif Chloe was being singled out at every turn.

At Fiona’s birthday banquet, in front of so many people, due to her hostility, Chloe had to bidfarewell to her grandmother. Chloe really played it well.
