But she couldn’t. She could only watch helplessly as Chloe entered the door before them.
“Can’t you see? It’s clear as day what Queen Julia is thinking. Blood is thicker than water after all”
“While Chloe is received with respect after presenting her invitation, Princess Becky and Barbara still
need the consent of Duke Dubonnet to enter. The difference in treatment is clear enough for even a
fool to see who Queen Julia favors. Better keep your wits about you and try to get on better terms with
the real princess”
“But Barbara and Becky have been by the Queen’s side since they were kids. The Queen wouldn’t
completely ignore them just because there’s a new princess. If so, what does that make of her? She’s
just letting the new princess get accustomed to the environment, there’s no need for comparison.”
The whispers reached Barbara and Becky’s ears, their faces turning sourc2
“Please, princesses
The servant reminded them. Barbara, maintaining a shallow smile, turned and walked into the grand
entrance.
The Dubonnet estate was vast To reach the banquet hall from the entrance, one had to traverse an
escalator. Given the grandeur of the event and the discomfort of high heels, everyone chose to take the
escalator
When Barbara and Becky caught up. Damon was just stepping onto the escalator with Chloe Chloe,
clutching her gift box, squinted into the circular holes on the sides under the bright lights, but couldn’t
see what was inside.
Damon smiled at her curiosity and pointed to the box. “This ring has an outer layer. When you place it
on the table, just take that off
Chloe blinked, her curiosity piqued.
“What’s inside? I don’t even know what the gift is How can it be the gift sent by me?”
Damon pursed his lips, “The birthday girl will love it. That’s for sure.” He had a hunch that if she were to
know what was inside, he might have another enemy on his hands.
Chloe couldn’t open the box now, so she clutched it to her chest. What the gift was, they would find out
when Fiona opened it. This was certainly an unprecedented gift
The silence was soon broken by two figures walking past them to their left.
Barbara, being dragged by Becky, looked entirely passive. Everyone knew Becky was impulsive and
lacked tact, so her behavior was not surprising. Barbara, on the other hand, looked uncomfortable and
apologized to Chloe, Tm sorry”
Chloe gave a casual smile. That’s okay. You two can go ahead”
But Barbara held Becky back and chose to stand in front of Chloe and Damon, striking up a friendly
conversation. “We’re all here for Fiona’s birthday, and there’s no rush. Becky’s just a bit impatient.”
Chloe just smiled and didn’t respond
Barbara looked awkwardly at the gift box in Chloe’s arms, a glint of curiosity flashing in her eyes
“What’s that? Chloe, what are you planning to give Fiona?
Chloe raised an eyebrow and gave her a cryptic smile. I don’t know Fiona that well, so grandmother
prepared the gift.
Becky snorted, “You’ve never given a gift before, have you? It’s just a..
“Becky”
Barbara quickly reprimanded her, giving Becky a warning look that instantly silenced her “Grandma’s
gifts are always the best. We’re not at home now, so be careful with your words”
Becky pouted but didn’t say anything more.
Barbara gave a gentle and apologetic smile, “Sorry, Chloe. Well, since you don’t know Fiona well, I can
introduce you later. She’s a bit temperamental, so be careful with your words. She can get unhappy
suddenly, and today is her birthday after all.”
Chloe didn’t accept the offer, “No need, I can manage”
Barbara’s face twitched visibly before she forced a strained smile. She turned to Damon to strike up a
conversation, but his cold gaze left her speechless
Finally, they exited the escalator and entered the banquet hall
The grandeur of the Dubonnet’s banquet hall was breathtaking Dozens of luxurious chandeliers hung
from the ceiling, their glow reflecting off the glittering ornaments around the room. The opulence was
palpable
In the center of the banquet hall, there was a circular platform surrounded by pink lace, adorned with
an array of rose petals. At the very center, there stood a cake several meters high, exquisitely
decorated and looking particularly stunning under the lights
Everyone marveled at the cake’s intricacy Chloe heard whispers that it had taken several master
patissiers a whole day to make. The fruits and chocolates on top were of the highest quality, making
the cake worth nearly a million dollars
Chloe now understood the true meaning of the Dubonnet family’s opulence She saw what true luxury
looked like
Compared to them, Damon was modest. If he were like them, their relationship wouldn’t have
developed as it did.
Barbara and Becky were the first to enter, drawing some attention When Chloe and Damon followed,
Damon’s presence diverted some of the attention. Some had guessed that the woman beside him was
the new princess of the Y Country, Queen Julia’s granddaughter, and they couldn’t take their eyes off
her
this moment, Chloe was removing her coat in front of the waiter, and everyone was eagerly anticipating
how she would present herself to the public ir the first time as the noble princess of Y. However, when
she took off her cost, the crowd’s expressions were nothing short of shock and disbelief.
his outfit was as plain as they come, What on earth was she thinking?
ompared to the formal gowns worn by Princess Becky and Barbara, her entire outfit probably wasn’t
worth as much as the jewels on their dresses. This as nowhere near the appearance of a royal
princess.
