The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride Chapter 1433

Chapter 1433 

“Is this woman seriously…the real princess of Y Country?!” 

“Holy cow, this is some earth–shattering news!” 

That’s what Barbara had insinuated, but when Chloe spelled it out so bluntly, her heart pounded faster than ever. Barbara ‘s mind was a mess. The atmosphere of the room said it all. 

Chloe didn’t beat around the bush like Barbara had. But what made Barbara even more uneasy was the fact that there seemed to be no turning back now. What a disaster! 

“Ms. Chloe, you’re reading too much into…” 

Chloe abruptly raised her hand, cutting Barbara off, “I have no other way to prove that I’m Queen Julia’s granddaughter. I never planned on proving anything. But, if you insist on calling me a fraud, then I’ll give you a chance, Princess Barbara. You can find evidence that proves I’m not Queen Julia’s granddaughter.” 

Seeing Chloe’s smirk, Barbara suddenly realized that maybe Wendy wasn’t the fool; she was being led step by step into foolishness by Chloe. Even though Wendy was Cole’s chosen heir, she had lost miserably in every confrontation with Chloe; she had never won. 

One by one, Chloe was luring them into her trap, and they had no way out. 

Finding evidence that Chloe was not the real princess? 

If Barbara agreed to find the evidence, that would mean she was admitting her concern over Chloe’s ties to the royal family. If she couldn’t find it, then was Chloe the real princess? 

No! 

Barbara couldn’t make any response now because any response would be a trap set by Chloe. No matter which option she chose, the result would be a failure! This couldn’t go any further; if it continued, someone would eventually find out the truth, and things would not be able to be covered up. Queen Julia quietly stood on the side, watching the standoff between the two young girls and the corners of her mouth gradually lifting. 

Sharp–witted, quick to react, sharp–tongued, and strong–willed, Chloe had Barbara trapped in a difficult situation with just a few words. Her thinking was indeed excellent. If only Chloe were really her granddaughter. 

That would be the purest blood of the Y Country Royal Family, and the way a country’s leader should be. 

The state banquet had completely changed its nature. 

Queen Julia knew from the start that this banquet had become a foregone conclusion the moment Chloe stepped onto the stage. She had worked hard for this country her entire life, and she had endured, lost, and sacrificed so much for it. 

She didn’t want to endure any longer, didn’t want to lose her own flesh and blood. As long as there was a glimmer of hope… 

No, she had a hunch that Chloe was Jasmine’s daughter. 

Unable to directly respond to Chloe, Barbara took a deep breath and said, “Ms. Chloe, if you weren’t planning on proving anything, I may have misunderstood you. I apologize.” 

Chloe smirked, her gaze cold as she calmly said, “Even if there’s a 99% chance that someone claiming to be the Queen’s biological child is lying, there’s still a 1% chance they’re telling the truth. So why did you go to such lengths in the first place?” 

Barbara’s face darkened, and she simply said, “I was mistaken. Please forgive me.” 

Chloe watched as Barbara tried to deal with this, and a cold laugh escaped her lips. She stood up from her chair and walked towards Barbara. Her slender, clean fingers gently brushed her forehead, as Chloe looked down at Barbara and continued, “I heard a long time ago that the Queen’s biological daughter died more than thirty years ago. Princess Barbara, didn’t you know?” 

“…I knew.” It was something everyone in the world knew. How could she deny it? 

Chloe laughed. “Then why are you so nervous?” 

Barbara’s heart raced as she realized she had fallen into Chloe’s trap. She looked up at Chloe. 

Chloe was already taller than her, and her commanding presence made Barbara feel at a disadvantage. Barbara was filled with anger and humiliation. 

The guests below were looking at Barbara. Their eyes were no longer filled with admiration and praise but with doubt and mockery 

Nervous about what? That person had been dead for decades, what was she nervous about? Now, Barbara’s guilt was completely exposed to everyone. “I… was just afraid that the Queen would be deceived…” 

“Are you saying…” Chloe cut her off, “A queen who can manage a country would be deceived by a nobody like me in front of so many national leaders? Do you think the Queen is too foolish, or do you think all the guests here are fools, or do you think I’m capable of deceiving the Queen in front of so many national leaders?” Chloe’s words were sharp and oppressive, making Barbara involuntarily take a step back. This small movement made Chloe laugh. 

Barbara felt even more humiliated, and with these words, Chloe left her with no way retort. 

“All in all… I apologize again. As the host, Tindeed didn’t consider things thoroughly, and I hope you won’t take it to heart…” Barbara forced out. 

Chloe looked at her, smiling. “Continuing this won’t lead to any results. Seeing you so helpless, it seems I’m too ruthless. After all, I can’t find a better way to prove my relationship with the Queen either, so let’s just leave it at that…” 

“Smack…” 

Chloe’s words abruptly came to a halt as her gaze caught sight of someone charging full speed ahead. Despite her attempts to dodge, she still fell victim to the person’s antics. 

With a loud “thunk,” Becky chucked the ice bucket she was holding to the ground. Becky initially intended to drench Chloe’s head with ice water, but due to Chloe’s evasive maneuvers, the water ended up splashing over half her body instead. 

Frosty water soaking her skin caused Chloe to involuntarily shiver, a tremor also going through her heart. 

Barbara got splashed as well, her dress becoming semi–transparent upon contact with the water. Her chest area was exposed in an instant. She let out a small gasp, hastily covering herself with her hands. 

“Chloe“” Queen Julia’s heart ached with both concern and guilt.
