She convinced herself that Yasmine had just returned, and she didn't really have many feelings forher cousin.

So even if Brisa was pregnant, it wasn't something that mattered to her.

But her heart was filled with unease. Even if it was a facade, she couldn't be this casual about it.Perhaps sensing Barbara's gaze, Yasmine's eyes slid slowly in the sockets before finally settling onone spot, her gaze piercing straight at Barbara. The sudden cold gaze sent a chill up Barbara'sspine, all the way to her forehead.

She hastily looked away, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

Just one look was enough to send her into a state of panic.

Yasmine's smiled d slightly, her sharp eyes filled with a hint of irony.b2 Barbara nervouslyswallowed, trying to calm her racing heart.

"Mom, now that we know Brisa is pregnant, we can't delay this matter any longer. Why don't we goand bring her back now? I think Dad will be very happy."

Ava looked up at Queen Julia, "You're right, we should bring her back sooner. Mom, what do youthink"

Of course, Queen Julia wanted to bring Brisa back as soon as possible. After all these years ofcompromise, she should give William an explanation. In the future, she wouldn't have to worryabout this matter anymore.

Moreover, their family's offspring should naturally receive the best treatment.

Nodding, she stood up, "We should indeed bring her back. This time, I will go personally."

It was time to set aside her pride and welcome Brisa in person. After spending years with Williamwithout any recognition, she was inevitably subjected to too much slander and gossip.

Ava forced a smile, "It's cold outside, I'll go."

Queen Julia raised her hand to stop her. "I want to go myself this time. Otherwise, I won't be atease."

Ava didn't say anything else, but she tightly clenched her fists.

"Yasmine, do you want to go too?"

Yasmine slowly put down her pen, “Since it's a happy occasion, naturally I should come to share thejoy."

Ava and Barbara exchanged a look, both looking a bit displeased.

Queen Julia was very happy and turned to order Lea to arrange the car. As Lea turned to leave,Queen Julia called her back. "Lea, arrange for someone to prepare a suite in the palace. I'll bringBrisa directly back to the palace."

Ava's expression changed slightly, "Mother, she's not entitled to... that doesn’t seem right, does it? Ican take care of her."

Brisa could only be considered a disgraced mistress. Ava thought that she didn't even stay in thepalace for long when she was pregnant, so why...

Queen Julia frowned at her. "You're talking to me about rules?"

Ava immediately stiffened. "No... 1..."

Barbara said, "Mother, if we bring Brisa back to the palace, she will receive better care, and youwon't have to overwork yourself. It's a win-win situation, there's no need for you to object."

Ava was annoyed, "What do you know? Do you know how delicate a pregnant woman is? Shemight be fine in the palace, but it's your grandmother who's going to be tired"

“I'd rather be tired when it comes to this kind of thing. This matter is not up for discussion. Lea, yougo arrange it."

"Yes"

Ava's face was very gloomy, but she didn't say anything else. Once the Queen's word was out, nomatter how much she said, it would not only fail to change anything, but it could also make theQueen dislike her more.

Queen Julia was the first to leave the study, clearly eager to get going. Barbara was carefullysupporting her in front.

Yasmine struggled to stand up from her chair, then sat down in the wheelchair next to her. Theelectric wheelchair slowly moved towards the door. Ava didn't want to be alone with her and tried toleave early, but before she had taken a few steps, Yasmine's voice rang out from behind her.“What's the matter? Ava, I suppose you haven't forgotten how my legs became crippled, have you?"

Ava stiffened and turned to face her, "Yasmine, what do you mean by that?"

Yasmine looked at her with a sarcastic look in her eyes, "Now that it's just the two of us, are you stillgoing to play dumb with me?"

Ava began to tremble. "I really don't know what you're talking about. How could I do such a thing."

Yasmine lowered her gaze, her wheelchair slowly passing Ava. "Did you think your actions wereunknown to others? You've been exposed long ago, why bother pretending in front of me? It onlymakes you look more ridiculous. Have you ever reflected on how many lives you've ruined in yourattempts to kill me over the years?

At the very least, the young lady from the Alonso family was your cousin's daughter. Do you knowwhy she died?"

Ava was trembling, clutching her chest, trying to suppress her racing heart. “Her death was due toher own obsession; it has nothing to do with me. She... she may have some distant blood relation tome, but her actions had nothing to do with me. Don't try to guilt me with that.

Yasmine's wheelchair stopped moving, then she turned to face Ava.

“If you hadn't selfishly taken the wrong step by assuming my identity, causing me to be separatedfrom my mother for over thirty years, perhaps now, I would unquestionably owe you a great deal.However, now..."

She paused, a sinister smile appearing on her lips in Ava's view. "Ava, now that I'm back, do youthink there's a place for you in this palace?"

Ava's chest was heaving. "So what if you're back and I'm no longer a princess?! Aside from being aprincess, I'm still a member of the royal family. I'm your cousin's wife."

Yasmine laughed coldly, "From beginning to end, all you had was a title."

Ava widened her eyes at her, "You... You investigated me"

Yasmine wheeled herself outside, "Do I really need to investigate your own actions? You shouldtruly be thankful for these past few years of luxurious princess life. Otherwise, if anyone with ill

intentions towards you, it would have been a piece of cake. Unfortunately, your princess title isgone, and now, even your position as the Queen's daughter-in-law might also be slipping away."
