Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 790

Chuckling, Chloe said, "Xavia isn't someone you can describe with just the words 'troublemaker.'"

Ophelia ignored Chloe. In her mind, Xavia and Chloe were cut from the same cloth. One was after her father while the other snatched her brother. Both of them were detestable.

"I'm only 2 weeks along. I'll be fine," Xavia said as she shook her head at Carolina. She then took a gift out and said gently, "I heard you haven’t been feeling well lately, but I didn’t know what to bring since you have everything in the royal palace, so here's a simple herb. I hope you'll like it."

Perplexed, Carolina glanced at Kenneth for a moment before accepting the gift.

Seizing his chance, Kenneth said, "Mom, Vee has held on to this herb for several years. She even refused to take it during her chemotherapy."

"Geez, it's just a herb. It's like the radishes in the kitchen, not the stars in the sky. Is it necessary to praise it so much?" Ophelia scoffed sarcastically.

Kenneth felt embarrassed. "It’s not about money. This is about Vee's kind gesture."

"Yeah, sure. She's trying to marry into the royal family with a herb and the baby in her womb. It's quite a shrewd move, to be honest."

Xavia nibbled on her lower lip. With her eyes brimming with tears, she looked quite pitiable.

There were many members of the royal family around, and Carolina did not want her own family to become the laughingstock. She turned and said to Ophelia, "Please leave us for a moment, Leah."

Ophelia was reluctant to go, but she did not want to deal with Xavia either. She snorted and aggressively bumped into Xavia with her shoulder before walking away without a backward glance. She went looking for Callum but could not find him anywhere. She now understood why her brother had chosen this moment to bring Xavia to the palace.

"Do you have a minute?" Chloe appeared behind Ophelia with a smile on her face.

Crossing her arms, Ophelia raised her chin. "Is there anything for us to talk about?"

Maintaining a smile on her face, Chloe replied, "You might want to accept me as your big sister from now on."
