Chapter 1710

Ave moved her lips, looking up at Queen Julia seated on her throne. “Mother

“Take her away” Chloe interrupted her coldly

“You.”

“One more word, and it’ll be a death sentence.” Chloe’s words came out slowly, each syllable sodeliberate that it sent shivers down the spine Ava’s head buzzed and she glared at Chloe, her voiceshrill, “What gives you the right to do this!“c2

“Well

“Queen Julia Lea’s sudden cry of agony made Chloe stiffen. She turned to see Queen Juliaslumped unconscious on her throne.

Chices face darkened. She swiftly directed her gaze to two guards, “Carry the Queen to herchambers. You go get the doctors. The rest of you take Becky away, and Nate, bring Jane here”

Having calmly issued her orders, she followed the guards carrying Queen Julia to the nearestlounge

This sudden turn of events left Ava and Barbara looking completely ashen. If word got out thatQueen Julia had fainted, it would be enough to stir up the whole country

More importantly, she passed out from Becky’s direct anger The Queen, beloved by her people afteryears of ruling the Y Country, now she got so furious with Becky that she famted

Despite maintaining her health over the years, the Queen’s age could not be denied Years of rulinghad taken their toll, and even though she had taken care of her health, countless minor ailmentshad accumulated

Now, after Becky’s repeated transgressions, all the energy the Queen had been holding ontocollapsed. She lay unconscious for nearly an hour without any sign of coming around

“She’s such a tough woman, bearing all these burdens for so many years. It’s beyond what mostpeople could handle. I wonder what kept her going Chice sat quietly on the edge of the bed,listening to Jane’s words and the eyes staring into Queen Julia fluttered softly. Chloe bit her lowerlip, her eyes closed as she took a deep breath

Lea, standing by her side, said gently, “Don’t blame yourself, princess The Queen would blameherself even more if she knew how you felt.”

Chloe looked up at Lea

“Ever since you left, the Queen has been blaming herself. She feels that if she hadn’t adopted Prin.Ava you and your mother wouldn’t have suffered as you did She couldn’t forgive herself for lavishinglove on them all these years. When she found out about Princess Yasmine’s death, she reallypoured all her love for Princess Yasmine into Ms Ava, even bestowing on her and her daughters thetitle of princess, despite them not being of royal blood. If you blame yourself, she might feel evenmore guilty The Queen loves you very much, and her inner struggle is just as intense.”

Chloe’s eyes trembled slightly, a lump forming in her throat

Lea sighed. It’s fate”

The room fell silent Jane, a seasoned doctor, couldn’t stand the oppressive atmosphere. It’s just theresult of years of intensive work. As long as she rests and takes care of herself, she’ll be okay It’s

not the end of the world, you know. Can you all stop being so sad?”

“And you, Mrs. Harper, watch your emotions You’ve been very unstable these past few days, youknow?!”

Jane’s words caused Chloe to take a hard, deep breath before opening her eyes and looking toJane to confirm, “So she’ll be okay if she has a good rest?”

Jane raised an eyebrow. ‘Are you doubting me?”

Chloe’s shoulders relaxed a bit

After a few seconds of silence, she turned to Lea, ‘Should we keep the Queen’s fainting a secret?”

Lea shook her head “There was no deliberate order to cover it up, and the palace is full of peoplethat I’m afraid we won’t be able to keep it under wraps She sighed. “She’s held on for so manyyears, and now that you’re back, she was about to retire. There’s no point in hiding it. In fact, it’sgood for her to finally take a break.”

Chloe nodded, falling silent for a moment. “Let it be then.”

Lea looked at her in confusion, unsure of what was going on, but nodded in silence.

The news couldn’t be kept under wraps.

The scandal at Fiona’s birthday party last night had already set tongues wagging. The satiricalheadlines about Barbara and Ava were all over the morning papers. By mid–morning, news ofQueen Julia’s fainting had spread.

Just as Ava and Barbara had feared, the entire nation was shocked.

“Did something happen?”

“Last night, those two princesses caused a scene at the Dubonnet family’s party. The morningpapers didn’t hold back their satire. The Queen must have found out what we all know”

“Yeah, it was a big deal. They must have had to apologize to the Queen today, right? The Queenmust have been angry.”

They’ve lost all the royal family’s dignity. How could the Queen not be angry?”

“No, no, no. The news from the palace is that those three have been stripped of their princess titles.The younger daughter couldn’t stand it and cursed the Queen, saying that she had lived too longand didn’t deserve to be the Queen of the Y Country. That’s why she fainted.”

“My God, this Becky, damn.”

“And I heard that the new princess had a close call on her way to Fiona’s birthday party yesterday. Itwas all arranged by those three.”

All these details somehow circulated throughout the palace and the entire Y Country. In no time atall, the three women became the hottest topic of conversation.

When dukes and high officials began coming to the palace to inquire about the Queen’s condition,Chloe realized how much the news had spread. She hadn’t exactly been secretive, but she hadn’tbeen blatant either She did have plans, but those were for after her grandmother woke up

However, it didn’t take long for her to figure it out The ever–shrewd Nate had been there, and thishad his fingerprints all over it

She couldn’t help but smirk. With them around, she was spared a lot of trouble. They always knewwhat her next move would be

This time, the lesson was harsh enough to strip her and her daughters of so much. Not just theirprincess titles. No one knew better than her the bitter taste of a tarnished reputation

Their image that they had built up over the years in Y Country had now spectacularly collapsed, andtheir network was inevitably going to take a hit

She had intended to peel them layer by layer, but this time, she had hit them where it hurt.
