The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1698

Indeed, it was the power and influence that the two princesses had accumulated over the years in the royal household. With so many eyes and ears in the palace, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for them to find out anything they wanted?

Moreover, it was just a gift. There was no need to hide it. They didn't expect, however, that these two would use this to make a scene, attempting to embarrass the new princess.

People had been contemplating how Princesses Barbara and Becky would react to the arrival of the new princess. Now, they knew for sure that these two truly couldn't tolerate her.

Chloe was the legitimate princess with the royal bloodline. They were daughters of the child who was adopted by the Queen.

Having enjoyed power and respect in the royal household for years, they probably feared losing their status to this newcomer. However, they were princesses after all, and people never believed that the arrival of a new princess would mean Queen Julia would strip these two of their titles.

Wouldn't it be better to coexist peacefully rather than harbor ill-intentions?d2

But clearly, the two princesses didn't think so.

Tonight, everyone had deeply felt their malice.

Barbara and Becky almost rushed to slap Chloe hard in the face.

This annoying woman!

Bit by bit, she was closing off all their escape routes. Now, everyone believed that their actions tonight were solely aimed at embarrassing her. Indeed, that was the case.

Anyone could tell from Chloe's words that Princesses Barbara and Becky were intentionally trying to embarrass her. Their gazes towards the two princesses became complex.

Suspicion and sarcasm were the most common expressions they saw.

A vein popped on Barbara's forehead, and she was on the brink of exploding with anger. Tonight, she had intended to embarrass Chloe, not to make a fool of herself and tarnish her image.

She had dealt with many people like these in the past. If they wanted to play the victim, she would show them who was the real master of this game.

"It seems like my life in the royal household is going to be tumultuous, right? Even defending myself is seen as persistently blaming you, tarnishing your image, and damaging your reputation. In that case, I should speak less in the future. Otherwise, I might end up being labeled a criminal just because of something I said. After all, I'm new here, and I can't compete with your power and influence in the royal household."

She paused for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and saying, "Rest assured, you two. I've learned my lesson from this incident. I'll talk to Grandma when I get back. There are already two princesses in the royal household, and that's more than enough. I'll take my leave."

Barbara's legs turned to jelly, stumbling back two steps, her breath hitching in her throat, almost choked by Chloe's words.

Every word, every sentence, was laced with accusation, declaring that they had no room for her, as if Chloe was being singled out at every turn.

At Fiona's birthday banquet, in front of so many people, due to her hostility, Chloe had to bid farewell to her grandmother. Chloe really played it well.
