The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1424

Ava's hands were shaking uncontrollably as she watched Becky get knocked to the ground, still not quite grasping the situation. Her heart was trembling even more under the weight of her rage.

Not for any other reason. Just because the phrase, “her mother”, Becky mentioned which had instantly ignited the fury deep within her!

How dare she mention Yasmine here? How dare she?

The one she had been running from her whole life, the one she'd been so careful to conceal her whole life. She didn't even dare to mention that person's name, but her daughter casually let slip a word, nearly revealing a secret she had hidden for almost 40 years.

What the hell was she trying to do? Go tell the Queen and let the Queen avenge her? And then what?

The Queen wouldn't have to think too hard to connect the dots to Yasmine and Chloe. How could she face the lie she had told all those years ago?

She knew the Queen was yearning for her own daughter her whole life. She knew Yasmine was alive and well, yet she told her she was dead, and kept it from her for half her life. If the truth were to came out, how was she going to explain to the Queen?

Would her princess status and everything she had disappear just like that?

She couldn't mention Yasmine! Especially not in front of the Queen! What a foolish girl! How did she end up with such a useless child!?

Queen Julia was taken aback by Ava's sudden outburst and could clearly see her anger and panic. She slowly turned her head, squinting her eyes toward Ava. "Ava, are you nervous?"

She casually pointed out Ava's current state, and Ava's eyes flashed uncontrollably with tension.

Her body swayed, her lips trembled, and her mouth became dry. "I..."

"Why are you nervous?" Queen Julia asked coldly.

Ava's legs under her long skirt were also trembling; she could barely stand. She swallowed, her throat so dry it felt like it was about to split.

"Mom, I'm not. it was Becky, she sneaked off to P City and caused a mess. I was afraid you’d be angry. Now, things are getting worse." Ava came up with a somewhat reasonable excuse, although stuttering, but it should be clear enough.

Queen Julia stared at her quietly. Ava didn't dare to meet her gaze, keeping her head down. Her whole body trembled with tension, especially knowing that Queen Julia's gaze was fixed on her.

Becky's crying filled the room, its sound particularly piercing.

Finally, Queen Julia looked away and turned her gaze to Becky. "Anyway, now is a crucial moment for the state banquet. We absolutely cannot afford any mistakes! You, as a princess of the royal family, what's the meaning of this arrogant attitude in front of so many artists? Do you know what would happen if those artists didn't show up at the state banquet? The entire royal family of Y Country would become the laughingstock of the world! Becky, haven't you considered these basic things? How could you not know about such an important matter?!”

Becky was crying; she knew very early she had done something wrong today, and already got a scolding from Barbara. Now, she got slapped by her mother and faced her grandma's reprimand. She had done so many dirty jobs today, yet no one was there to comfort or understand her! At that moment, her heart was filled with intense dissatisfaction and resentment.

Queen Julia fully understood her attitude at the moment upon seeing her expression. "You're so reckless, arrogant, and irrational. You don't know how to repent! You're grounded for a month! Relearn all about morality and etiquette!”

Upon hearing this, Becky suddenly looked up at her and, "No, grandma, I want to go to the state banquet."

"Don’t you understand what I'm saying?" Queen Julia asked.

Ava quickly responded, "I'll have someone take her away immediately!"

The scale of the state banquet was naturally unprecedented.

The guests attending the state banquet included foreign diplomats from various countries and top international elites. It also featured representatives from various countries’ important economic sectors.

To host this international feast, the Y Country had invested a substantial amount of money to renovate the current state banquet mansion.

The vintage and splendid palace, the expansive green gardens, numerous fountains and wishing pools, and the abundance of corridors adorned with lifelike carvings, ornate cages, engraved inscriptions, and dazzling lights—all contributed to the grandeur and magnificence of the entire state banquet mansion.

The entrance of the state banquet hall was covered with a long red carpet. Guests emerged from their luxury cars and walked along the red carpet into the hall.

Above the high dome hung a bright and dazzling chandelier. Even though it was dark outside, the state banquet hall was as bright as day. The light from the chandelier illuminated everyone, making them appear even more elegant and noble.

Once all the guests had entered the state banquet hall, and the waiters had carefully escorted each VIP to their respective seats, only then did Queen Julia make her leisurely entrance.

She had dressed herself in new attire, wearing a formal champagne-gold dress. She adorned a red agate on her chest, which cost a fortune, along with a golden crown peppered with diamonds and a few blue gems on her head. All dressed up like this, it was evident that she was showing her respect for the banquet and all the attending guests.

As she came into view, all the guests in the hall rose to show their respect.

Queen Julia took her place at the head of the table, flashing a gentle smile at the crowd.
