Chapter 1745

Barbara was livid, “What are we supposed to know?!”

The man bit onto the cigarette dangling at the corner of his mouth, glanced at Barbara’s angry face,and gave a derisive laugh. As he skimmed over the document in his hands, he spoke,

“Seeing as we have nothing better to do, I might as well explain it to you.”

He removed the cigarette and crushed it into the ashtray before sitting on the table.

“Aren’t you forgetting that you’ve already bribed the hospital into giving you a fake paternity test?“c2

Barbara froz

is heart had long been numb. From a long time ago, he knew how foolish it was for him to have letChloe go.

He even thought of making amends, but someone else had already taken her place in Chloe’sheart.

He had completely lost her, cruelly pushing her away with his own hands.

Now, the only thing he could do was to watch her through the screen, like everyone else who hadnothing to do with Chloe.

No, he might not even qualify as a stranger to her:

He rested his head in his hands, feeling worn out from recent busy days. His home was filled withhis mother’s sobs and his father’s sighs.

At the hospital, there was Keira, whose true nature was revealed, relentlessly wanting to fight him tothe end.

The divorce agreement had been torn up countless times by her, refusing to sign it under anycircumstances.

Now she had the excuse of pregnancy to stay in the hospital.

Looking back at his past with her, all he had left were regrets and disgust.

Chloe had always been clear, but he had hurt her time and time again by blindly trusting Keira.

On reflection, Keira’s past actions were full of hypocrisy and flaws.

Even later, when Chloe repeatedly exposed her true face, he never thought of breaking up with her.

Now, with one thing after another piling up, he had truly reached his limit with Keira.

However, Keira’s current reckless behavior made it hard for him to cope.

With the company being busy, he simply stopped seeing her.

He could only drag on.

When the day her fake pregnancy was exposed and she was truly locked up came, he could finallybe free.

If she didn’t want to divorce, then let her be.

He didn’t care if it took a lifetime; he had no expectations for the rest of his life anyway.

The timing was just right, ninety minutes. After a round trip around the city, they arrived back at thepalace gates.

The carriage slowly entered the palace, and when the door closed, Chloe finally breathed a sigh ofrelief.

Although she had gradually adapted to the enthusiasm of the people, she was still a bit tired.

What followed was the real coronation ceremony on top of the city gate, where she would announceto everyone that she was the princess of Y Country.

e, and Ava’s face in the other room turned pale.

“Sure, there must have been a reason. But I don’t know where you’re planning on using it. PrincessChloe, however, thinks you’re going to use it at the coronation ceremony. You’ve preparedthoroughly, so why let it go to waste? The coronation is the most likely place for your plans to cometo fruition.

“You’ve brought this upon yourselves. You started scheming against her too early. Otherwise, youmight have been able to attend the coronation today. But now, your disgrace will be even morepronounced.

“A fake paternity test? You’re really pulling out all the stops, aren’t you? Well, speaking of which, theprincess wanted me to show you this document. Then you’ll understand how magnanimous she hasbeen towards you.”

As he spoke, he handed the document to a man standing nearby.

The man immediately took it and walked over to Barbara, whose face had turned pale. He handedher the document.

Barbara opened it and her expression changed dramatically.

It was the blood relation identification between Yasmine and Queen Julia.

She didn’t even need to look at the results. Instead, the date at the bottom was what caught herattention.

Ava snatched it from her and also looked at the date. Her reaction was not much different fromBarbara’s.

The date of the test was a month ago, during the Y Country’s national banquet.

She slumped to the ground.

So

Chloe had been preparing to handle them all along.

If they had stuck to their original plan and brought out the fake paternity test at the coronationceremony, insisting that Yasmine and Chloe were fake princesses, then this document alone wouldhave been enough to give them a fate worse than their current one.

Seeing their reactions, the man continued, “Now do you understand how merciful the princess hasbeen towards you? She could have made your lives much more miserable if she wanted to, but shedidn’t want to spoil the coronation. And most importantly, she didn’t want to risk you harming herunborn babies like you did with Brisa. She didn’t want to waste her time dealing with insignificantpeople like you and put her babies in danger.

“Over these years, you’ve been occupying a place that doesn’t belong to you, attempting severaltimes to take their lives. This led to years of separation between her and her mother, and even now,

you’re still scheming against them. She hasn’t even had the chance to settle scores with you yet.You’re somewhat fortunate that you haven’t received more torment.”

Ava and Barbara turned ashen.

Becky was the first one to be locked up, and she was already on the verge of a mental breakdown.Now that Ava and Barbara joined her, she just sat in the corner with a vacant look in her eyes.

Noticing Ava and Barbara’s reactions, even Becky, slow as she was, could tell that there was nochance of them getting out this time.

“No, we didn’t…”

“Stop denying it. All it does is make you look stubborn and unwilling to take responsibility. Thehospital and doctors you bribed have already confessed But considering all the connections you’vemade in the Y Country over the years, we had to bring in extra people to make sure you don’t causeany trouble during the coronation. It’s been quite the hassle.”

Ava and Barbara were not listening to his words anymore.

“Who are you? Why are you telling us all this? Where did you hear all this from?”

The man gave a cold laugh, “I’m just a nobody; it doesn’t matter who I am. As for the informationI’ve given you, it’s all common knowledge outside, not a secret. I’m telling you all this because theprincess wants me to. She wants to make you suffer for all the things you’ve done.”

“It’s strange, really. Despite all your scheming and treachery, she’s not exactly a saint herself. Butsomehow, she manages to be likable even when she’s being bad.”

Barbara couldn’t hide the bitterness on her face.

Bad but likable?

How was that possible?

There were so many people who despised Chloe, who hated her with all their hearts.

They wished she would just die!

On the television screen, footage of Chloe’s parade around the city was still playing. Her regal attire,shimmering under the sunlight, was truly a sight to behold.

Chapter 1745

Compared to before, she was now wearing a cloak, the droplet–shaped crystals on her chestcatching the light and drawing attention.

Every detail about her was exquisite and noble.

Her face, with a faint smile playing at her lips and a light touch of makeup, was undeniably beautifuland regal.

Whether still or in motion, she radiated an indescribable aura.

The enthusiastic citizens lining the streets were all cheering and shouting her name.

They were showing their admiration and support for her.

They were acknowledging Princess Chloe’s status.

All of this, everything that Barbara had once aspired for, was now hers. She was sitting high andmighty, enjoying the glory that Barbara had once dreamed of, while Barbara could only watchthrough a screen from afar.

How ironic.

Meanwhile, in P City, most people were glued to their screens, watching the broadcast.

Keira was still lingering in the hospital, claiming that she was pregnant and needed to rest.

However, she refused any examination from the doctors.

She would scream and yell if anyone tried to touch her.

Now she was taking advantage of public opinion, staying in a luxury hospital room, with all herneeds taken care of. The Olson family was helpless against her and could only pay for herexpensive hospital bills and other expenses.

The Olson family’s business was in the pits, and now they were saddled with Keira, a burden thatonly made things worse.

Lauretta spent her days at home, filled with regret, yet unable to deal with the freeloading Keira.

If the Olsons didn’t step up, the media would have a field day painting them in the worst possiblelight.

They were already walking on thin ice, any more scandals would tip them over the edge.

Meanwhile, Keira was ensconced in a deluxe hospital suite, watching Chloe on the telly, surroundedby the wreckage of luxury fruits, skincare products, jewelry, and even medical equipment meant forher care.

She had heard rumors that Chloe might be a princess, and despite Queen Julia’s publicproclamation after the state banquet, she still held out hope that it was all a mistake.

How could Chloe possibly be a princess?

Considering how harshly Chloe was mistreated by her in the Summers family, where everything wassnatched away by her, and how Chloe lived without any semblance of the demeanor of a wealthyheiress, how could she possibly be an exalted princess now?

She had clung to the hope of a twist in the tale, only to be met with the reality of Chloe’s coronation.

Chloe had transformed into a real princess.

Despite being on the other side of the world, Chloe had once again made Keira the butt of the joke.

A complete and utter joke.

On the other side, Lauretta was also watching Chloe on the telly, riding in a horse–drawn carriage,basking in the warmth of Y Ccountry’s adoration. She thought of Keira, the freeloader draining theOlson family’s resources, and was filled with regret and resentment. Tears streamed down her faceuncontrollably.

“We were blind to have chosen Keira, the shameless bitch,” she said.

Grover’s face was ashen. At her words, he snorted, “I told you you’d regret this. Didn’t realize itwould happen so soon.”

“How was I to know Keira would bring such bad luck? Carolina was always fawning over her, Ithought she was certain Keira was the one destined for great things.”

“Chloe and Lance were engaged back them, but you were still secretly pushing Lance towardsKeira. The Olson Group was on the brink of bankruptcy, and if it weren’t for Chloe’s help, we wouldhave been done for. Have you no conscience? Even in gratitude, you shouldn’t have done such alow thing. And to think, Chloe is the half–sister of Keira, no, the funny thing is, Keira is not even areal Summers. It’s karma. You didn’t appreciate what you had, and now, who can you blame?”

Grover’s words left Lauretta speechless and seething with rage.

“I pushed Lance towards Keira for the sake of the Olson family! You have no right to blame me!”

“Did you let me say a word back then? What mutual affection? Yes, Lance is truly your son, and henever disappoints you! You pushed him towards Keira, and he really hooked with her. I’ve long leftthe Olson family in Lance’s hands. Now let’s see how he manages the Olson Group. You shouldpray that Keira, your star of fortune, stays in the hospital to help your precious son survive thiscrisis.”

Gripped by anger, Grover stormed upstairs.

Lauretta was left stung by Grover’s words. Her sense of guilt was overwhelming, her tears flowingfreely.

Watching Chloe on the TV, adored and respected by all, she was consumed by a deep sense ofregret.

The Summers had a daughter, born to be a phoenix, hidden in the woods, without a nest to returnto, taken advantage by the wicked, her fate filled with misfortune. And she will rise above all.”

Chloe was the real phoenix, not only saving the Olson family from bankruptcy but also a realprincess.

And the wicked one, undoubtedly, it was Keira
