Her body was shaking with anger, and though she knew it was unbecoming, she couldn’t control it. She
forced out an ugly smile, the sound of her laughter only adding to the awkwardness.
“Well, Chloe, what are you talking about?” she stammered. “You’re Grandma’s own granddaughter.
How could I not accept you? We all want what’s best for Grandma, and she went through so much
trouble to find you. If you leave, won’t it break her heart? I’m sure there’s just been some
misunderstanding.”
Chloe arched an eyebrow. “A misunderstanding, you say?”
“Of course it is.”
Chloe blinked, “Well then, we should clear this misunderstanding up as soon as possible. Otherwise,
today’s event might inevitably cast a negative influence on the royal family. If Grandma hears that we’re
not getting along, it will surely upset her”
Barbara’s hands clenched into fists, her knuckles whitening. “You are right. We should clear up the
misunderstanding “d2
Her words stuttered. Chloe, standing close, could hear her unstable breath. Nodding, Chloe seemed
very satisfied with her response, “So, getting back to where we started, how did you two know that
Grandma’s gift for me was a full set of ruby jewelry?”
Barbara’s lips twitched uncontrollably. Her chest heaved with suppressed emotion “I just said that it’s a
misunder
“That’s why we’re trying to clear up this misunderstanding, right? Could it be that what Becky said to
me was misheard by Miss Fiona?”
Barbara could hear the relentless taunting in Chloe’s voice. This time, the blame was shifted onto
Fiona, the birthday girl and the star of
the evening..
Fiona had always been hot–tempered and had a low tolerance for bullshit. She had always found
Barbara and Becky annoying, and now they had come uninvited to her birthday, making things difficult
for her. She saw right through their schemes. She wasn’t unaware of Chloe’s manipulative tactics, but if
it gave her a chance to teach these two nuisances a lesson, she was more than willing to play along.
“How can I hear it wrong? I heard clearly. Who dares to question my hearing? Becky was chewing
Chloe out when I was standing night there, accusing her of daring to switch the Queen’s gift. And when
Chloe brought the gift box out, Becky was mocking her saying the gift was less than the box it came in.
Are you saying everyone present was deaf? What about this? I could still go with you to see the Queen
and find out if the gift was known to only two people or was common knowledge
“And furthermore, you two, I only invited Chloe from the royal family to my birthday party. But you both
eagerly came over and handed over the gift before Chloe had a chance. Becky even immediately
asked Chloe to deliver her gift, saying something about looking forward to it. What exactly is your
intention? Aren’t you just trying to embarrass Chloe in front of so many people? Or maybe you’re
planning to turn the tables and accuse her of copying you by giving the same gift?”
If Chloe’s words were a bit suggestive, Fiona was absolutely straightforward, not intending to spare
them any dignity
Barbaras face turned pale, then flushed. Becky, noticing her sister’s discomfort, hid at a distance and
remained silent.
The crowd’s understanding looks were like daggers, stabbing into Barbara. Their derision and
schadenfreude made Barbara wish she could disappear into a crack in the ground. However, in reality,
the Dubonnet family’s banquet hall had no floor cracks, and they were still standing in the most
prominent spot to garner the utmost attention, with nowhere to hide.
“Fiona, aren’t you going a little too far with your words? No matter what, we grew up together, and
we’re friends.”
“Don’t talk to me about friendship. I don’t have noble friends like you two. I don’t know whether you
genuinely come to celebrate my birthday every year or just to show off In the past, I endured it out of
respect for the royal family. This year, I didn’t even invite you, yet you still came and stood beside me.
Do you feel your status is too high to stand below, or do you think standing below isn’t enough for
others to recognize you as princesses?”
“Fional” Fiona’s mother, standing below the stage, scolded her sharply after hearing these disrespectful
words. Regardless of the circumstances, these were princesses of the royal family. Even as the
granddaughter of a high–ranking official, she had no night to say such offensive things. Her words were
out of line.
“What? You always tell me to be understanding and patient. But how long should I endure? What do I
get from my birthdays? Each time I end up angry and upset. Every time, I swallow my anger. This year,
I didn’t invite them, but how shameless can they be to come up and stand in front of me, seeking
attention? Are they so desperate to show off their prestigious status and good figures? Companng their
status, can they compete with the royal bloodline?”
“Fiona, shut up! Mrs. Dubonnet stepped onto the stage, trying to pull Fiona down, but Fiona pushed her
away.
“What did I say wrong? They’ve been showing off for years, isn’t it enough? Can’t you see they can’t
get along with Chloe? They want to plot against those who weren’t born and raised in the royal family,
and don’t possess their noble aura Now that their plan has failed. they should bear the consequences.
They used my birthday party to plot against Chloe Should I still help maintaining their image? How
weak would I be if I did that? I’m a descendant of the Dubonnet family I believe the Queen has sharp
eyes. Besides, even a fool could see through their trick today There’s no way the Queen wouldn’t
“Let them complain to the Queen if they’re not satisfied. I’m not afraid
“Who would fall for their scheme? Only fools wouldn’t see through it. As princesses, they always dress
like peacocks at every event,
while Chloe knows how to keep a low profile. Do they know what upstaging the host means? With such
low emotional intelligence, they still think highly of themselves. Aren’t they ashamed?”
The room fell silent. Everyone was stunned by Fiona’s outburst. Perhaps the only person who dared to
speak so candidly was Miss Fiona. However, her straightforward speech had a profound impact on
them, almost like a sudden awakening.
The two princesses, they did have a knack for standing out wherever they went. Like protagonists in a
tale, they controlled the rhythm of the room, often overshadowing the true heroes.
Today was no different, just like every other occasion they graced, and just like every day this year.
One could understand why Miss Fiona was so furious today. A birthday comes but once a year, and
yet, every time, hers seemed to be overshadowed by others. It was enough to make anyone feel
aggrieved
At this point, no matter what Barbara and Becky, might say, it was doubtful they could salvage the
situation. After all, Miss Fiona’s frank words were enough to make their positions crystal clear.
