The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1420

Becky's eyes widened. Was she saying she wouldn't attend the state banquet?! Fury coursed through her. "Are you threatening me?"

"If you think so, then yeah." Chloe replied without further explanation, going along with Becky’s assertion.

Chloe not attending the banquet? Wendy would love that.

What was the state banquet? It was where all the bigshots from around the world would be there. If Chloe did a good job and impressed them, who knew what opportunities might come her way? Besides, when word got back home, she would be on cloud nine.

But if she didn't attend due to last-minute issues, Chloe would end up the laughingstock.

Wendy spoke softly, "Chloe, you can't just decide whether to attend the state banquet on a whim. The program has been arranged. How can you back out at this point?"

Chloe glanced at Wendy, a smirk in her eyes.

Wendy continued, "I know you never care what others think, but if you're going to back out, you should at least let the production team know."

Becky sneered, "You're so full of yourself. If you don't want to attend, then don't. The world will keep turning without you. If you don't perform, there are plenty of people who will. It's not a big deal. I can take care of it with just a few words."

Chloe chuckled and nodded, her voice indifferent, "Oh, is that so?"

Becky was so mad she could barely think straight. She had been bullied enough by Chloe in P City, and she wouldn't allow it to happen again now that they were in Y Country.

Was she supposed to clean up this banquet hall? She had never washed a dish in her life, let alone do this kind of dirty work. Dream on!

"Well in that case, Princess Becky, please also arrange for my performance to be cancelled." The somewhat older man said, his voice deep and calm.

Both Wendy and Becky froze.

"Yeah, since you can arrange things so easily, cancel my performance too."

"And mine. I never wanted to perform here in the first place."

"The Princess of Y Country has a lot of power and capability. Even though we won't be attending the banquet, we have learned a lot about the Y Country's royal family. Performing in such a country would be an insult to us. Go ahead and cancel our performances too." The speaker, the leader of an orchestra, declared.

Chloe’s eyebrows twitched slightly as she turned to look at Barbara, who was smiling at her.

"Ms. Chloe, what do you think?" Barbara asked once more. Chloe looked at her silently for a moment. The two locked eyes in a standoff, neither willing to back down first.

Chloe's lips curled up slightly. Her gaze remained fixed on Barbara as she said lightly, "Of course, I don't want to create a scene. As for my opinion..." She paused, glancing over at Becky, who appeared flushed yet defiant. Chloe continued slowly, "As I mentioned earlier, I'm in a terrible mood! When I'm feeling this way, I doubt my stage performance will be any good. I believe the other guests wouldn’t deliver satisfactory performances either when they are feeling down. Being top artists globally, they would never allow any flaws in their image. If their performance is affected by their mood, it would damage their reputation at the state banquet. Isn't that a lose-lose situation?"

"Of course, we want to perform exceptionally well for Queen Julia; we just don't know if someone will give us the opportunity." Chloe's words resonated with the artists in the room, all of whom were considered top-notch.

However, Barbara's facial expression noticeably stiffened as she focused on Chloe’s eyes, her gaze slightly tightening. Chloe's point was that, regardless of what she said here, she wouldn’t change her mind because of Barbara’s sake. She would only do it for Queen Julia.

While they certainly wanted to deliver a stellar performance for the Queen, the question remained whether she would permit it.

Now, Chloe was emphasizing that Barbara and Becky wouldn't allow them to give their best for Queen Julia.

How could she make such a statement!
