Chapter 1732

Meanwhile, seeing Queen Julia approaching, Barbara hurried to her.

“Grandma.”

“Slap!”

A crisp sound echoed in the quiet environment, taking everyone by surprise Barbara’s voice cut offabruptly, and everyone else seemed too startled to react. Looking at Barbara, who’d beenunexpectedly slapped and was now sitting stunned on the ground, they were all taken aback andconfused What on earth was going on?

Chloe, observing all this, let out a cold chuckle and slowly put her hands back into the pockets ofher down jacket. She cast a sarcastic glance at Barbara.c2

Barbara instinctively touched her slapped cheek, equally shocked Ava was the first to recover,rushing forward to say, “Mother, are you mistaken? What did Barbara do wrong? Are you beingunfair? It was Chloe who caused all this trouble today, not Bar.”

Queen Julia’s face was pale, her lips trembling with rage. She slowly raised her arm, pointing atrembling finger at Ava “You you. She was too furious to form a coherent sentence, finally raisingher hand and slapping Ava across the face.

Caught off guard, Ava staggered backward, bracing herself against something. Just as she wasabout to steady herself, a force from behind sent her sprawling. She looked up in panic, only to seeYasmine’s face, a cold, mocking smile playing on her lips.

“Ava, you’ve brought this upon yourself. You should really understand what that means.”

Struggling to her feet, Barbara covered her slapped cheek, her eyes filled with a mixture of hurt andanger “Grandma! What did I do wrong?! It was Chloe. she was the one who tried to harm the royalheir, she wanted to harm my brother.”

Rising to her feet, Ava ignored Yasmine’s mockery, Mother”

Queen Julia was still shaking with rage. her face ashen. “Tell me, why were you so sure that Chloewas carrying fennel? From the beginning, you’ve been leading us to believe it was her. Tell us, Aval”

She suddenly yelled, “You’ve been too obvious today! How long are you planning to play me for afool? After all these years of love and care, don’t you have any conscience?!”

The outburst left Ava and Barbara stunned, but Barbara stepped forward, reaching out to comfortQueen Julia, “Grandma, why are you saying this? What did we do wrong..”

“Stay away from me!”

Barbara looked at her grandmother, her face filled with sadness, “Grandma, why won’t you believeus? Dr. Lee made it clear, that it was Chloe who was carrying the fennel She’s after the thronel”

Queen Julia swayed slightly, her vision blurred. “You’re saying Chloe was carrying fennel?”

Barbara nodded “Yes, it’s true I’m certain, and if we search her, we’ll replace proof that I’m right.”

“Silence Queen Julia slapped Barbara again.

“Mother!” Ava rushed forward, pulling Barbara to her side.

Queen Julia’s chest heaved with her heavy breaths. She looked at the two women before her,closing her eyes for a moment “Chloe would never

fennel I believe her”

Ava and Barbara looked at her, frustrated and defeated “Why? If she’s not carrying it, then how doyou explain what happened to Brisa?”

“Why?” Queen Julia slowly opened her eyes, looking at Ava and Barbara with a pained expression.

“Mother believe us, just this once, if you search her, you’ll replace

HTY

Ava persisted, but Queen Julia cut her off with a cold laugh “No need to search She doesn’t have it.How could she, being pregnant, carry such a thingTM

Avas face froze with a mix of anxiety and anger She staggered, as if struck by lightning.

You what did you say?”

“I’m pregnant” Chice cut off Queen Julia, smirking at Ava and Barbara Tm over three months along.I knew I had many enemies, so I didn’t announce 4 So I’m sorry but your plan today has failed”

Barbaras gaze shifted to Chloe’s stomach Now that she thought about it. Chics had changed herstyle of dress since she got back. From sim–fitting clothes to loose and baggy ones. Even Damorisattentiveness

No wonder she’d been so confident

A sudden realization hit her. Something wasn’t right

“I cant be “Ava shook her head dismissing Chloe’s statement outright

Lola had assured her that everything was going according to plan. There was no way things couldgo wrong. Why didnt Chice have the item they’d arranged for her to carry?

Barbara was thinking the same thing. Either Chloe was lying, or Chloe had seen through their planfrom the beginning But how could she have guessed their plan?

“Are you wondering why I don’t have any fennel on me? Chloe smiled at them, then calmlydeclared, did have it on me at first”

Everyone, still reeling from the shock, was now curious

“Not only did I have it, but so did Brisa, and even in the

Lady Lola insisted we take” She pointed at her nose. Did you forget that I’m a perfumer

with a keen sense of smell, or did you just underestimate my profession? Did you think I wouldn’tnotice with all those scents mixed together?”

At that moment, Jane stepped out of the car and displayed a sealed transparent bag to everyone.

These are the balls infused with fennel essential oil we found on our Mrs. Chloe and Brisa. Wenoticed them from the start and managed to minimize the damage by replaceing and sealing them all.”

The crowd covered their mouths, shocked and curious, as they stared at what Jane was holding.

The thing is real, but the scent on me is long gone. There’s no way that any strong smell could stillexist. So I’m curious, Dr. Lee, why were you so sure that I smelled of fennel?”

Dr Lee’s knees gave way, and he slumped to the ground. Ava and Barbara couldn’t hide the panicthat flashed across their faces.

At that moment, a long horn blare echoed from outside the crowd. Everyone moved aside, makingway for a sleek, expensive black sedan that slowly drove into the scene.

As soon as the car stopped, the door opened, revealing Damon’s tall and lanky figure to everyonepresent. Following him, Nate got out of the car, striding to the other side and yanking someone out.To everyone’s surprise, it was a disheveled Lola.
