The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1696

Chloe smirked inwardly, turning her gaze from Barbara and landing it on Becky. "Compared to your gift, I believe mine is rather unique."

Becky snorted with disdain and arrogance. "Just another set of expensive jewelry like the rest of us? What's so special about that?"

"Becky..."

"A fancy box for average jewelry?"

"Becky!"

"Are you trying to make the gift look bigger to make it seem more valuable? Ridiculous."d2

"Becky!!!"

Despite Barbara's repeated warnings, Becky continued her tirade, causing the calm and gracious Barbara to finally lose her temper.

The room fell silent. Everyone looked at her in surprise, never expecting the always gentle and generous Princess Barbara to lose her composure.

After realizing her faux pas, Barbara's face turned pale. Becky opened her mouth as if to say something but was at a loss for words.

Chloe smirked sarcastically, placing her box on the gift table.

Fiona curiously approached. "What's this special gift?"

Chloe bent down, following Damon's instructions, positioned the box so Fiona could see the black holes on both sides, then removed the outer rim.

If her guess was correct, Damon's gift might be...

The hole was about the size of a fist, and everyone's gaze focused on the box. But after a while, nothing happened.

"What the? I thought it was jewelry? What's with the half-opened box?"

"Is she expecting the jewelry to fly out on its own?"

"Maybe she's just planning on giving a box."

The crowd's confusion and complaints filled the room with chuckles.

Fiona scrutinized the box for a long time, but she couldn't figure out anything. She stared at Chloe suspiciously.

"You didn't just give me a box, did you?"

Chloe trusted Damon, but she still felt a bit nervous. She remembered Damon's reckless driving earlier, the startling drifts and turns. She worried that the gift inside the box might have been...

Damon raised an eyebrow, meeting her gaze, but all he saw was Chloe's resentful face. He pursed his lips and shifted his gaze. He knew it.

No one in the room expected Chloe to give such a gift. For Duke Dubonnet's granddaughter's birthday, everyone was trying to give her a satisfactory and sincere gift, measuring what would dignify and suit the Dubonnet family.

House, car, jewelry, antiques, all were given through Fiona's birthday party to indirectly please Duke Dubonnet. Every year the tricks were endless, but they were all variations of the same few things.

Who would have thought that the person who could not be pleased with all their efforts would be so excited about a cat?

Everyone's attention was fixed on the kitten in Fiona's hand. Gotta admit, even though they might not be familiar with such animals, this cat was remarkably adorable.

Fiona was completely immersed in her excitement, and the crowd was amazed.

Barbara and Becky's faces were full of changing expressions; they were completely stunned by this unexpected gift.

After Fiona finished her excitement, she lovingly held the cat in her arms, then joyfully planted a kiss on Chloe's cheek. "Thank you, this is the absolute best gift I've ever received."

Chloe managed a tight smile, her gaze drifting to a figure in the crowd. As expected, his face was brooding, an icy chill radiating from him.

Without changing her expression, she swiftly returned her focus back to Fiona. "I'm glad you like it."

Fiona nodded, stroking the kitten's soft head before looking up at Barbara and Becky, curiosity sparking in her eyes. "Why did you guys say that the gift you prepared is similar to the princess' gift?"
