The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1431

Chapter 1431 

Queen Julia slowly turned around her eyes landing on the woman playing the piano on stage. Her pupils contracted, and her lips quivered uncontrollably. 

The sound of the piano seemed to float in from a faraway place, entering Julia’s ears, seeping through every pore of her skin, flowing into her body, and resonating deep within her soul. Who was she? Why was she playing this piece? 

The soulful tune matched the melody in Julia’s heart perfectly, without the slightest deviation, Julia’s heart nearly stopped beating. She held her breath and stared intently at Chloe, not daring to blink. Your Majesty…” 

Lea noticed something was off with Queen Julia and gently patted her. With a sigh of relief, Julia’s body went limp, nearly collapsing on the spot. Luckily, Lea and Barbara were there to catch her in time. Seeing the way the Queen was looking at Chloe, Barbara felt a twinge of unease. She was wary of Queen Julia showing Chloe any special treatment. 

Julia’s eyes started to redden involuntarily, and her body was still shaking. 

Your Majesty, what’s wrong? Barbara asked in a low voice, her brow furrowed. 

Julia didn’t respond but tightly gripped Lea’s arm, hurriedly making her way to the stage. She moved in a rush, clearly impatient. 

The performance had been grand and majestic so far, but now a light and lively piece had emerged. Although Barbara’s piece had been played before, Chloe’s was more popular. 

After all at a state banquet like this, everyone was on edge. No one had expected such a relaxing moment. The power of music was just that magical. Compared to Princess Barbara’s piece, the guests preferred this one. 

However, as everyone was immersed in the music, some people noticed Queen Julia being escorted off the stage in a fluster. All eyes were drawn to the Queen, faces filled with confusion “What’s going on?” 

The reporters present also turned their cameras towards Queen Julia. 

Barbara froze in place, her scalp tingling. “What are you doing? This is a state banquet, you should be careful…” 

Julia didn’t seem to hear her, pushing Barbara aside and moving forward with Lea. 

What about the occasion? She didn’t care about the occasion. Nothing was more important than verification. 

For the so–called “occasion,” Julia had always been cautious. Now, all she wanted was to find her Jasmine, no matter the cost. 

As Queen Julia took the stage, all the guests began whispering amongst themselves. 

“What’s going on?” 

Barbara stood there, completely at a loss. 

What was happening? Was there something special about the piece Chloe was playing? 

She listened and listened, but technically, there was nothing outstanding about it! But why had Queen Julia suddenly acted this way? 

Chloe was unaware of the unusual atmosphere off stage. Her only task at the moment was to finish playing the piece at hand. 

This piece was just an ordinary piece, nothing special, not likely to offend anyone, plain and simple. She had no reason to suspect that this piece would cause her any irreparable problems. 

As the piece was drawing to a close, Chloe looked up and suddenly saw someone slowly standing next to her. Chloe’s expression froze for a moment, but her fingers continued to play swiftly, successfully bringing the piece to a flawless end. 

Chloe stood up and nodded at Queen Julia. “Do you have any questions?‘ 

Queen Julia’s gaze lingered greedily on Chloe’s face, her excitement puzzling Chloe. 

Chloe smiled gently and said softly, “Would you like to play the piano? I’m done. I can give up the seat for you.” 

As she spoke, she picked up her skirt to leave, but was stopped by a hand grabbing her arm. 

Chloe paused, turning back to look at Queen Julia in confusion. “May I ask…” 

“Why did you play this piece?‘ Queen Julia asked Chloe with a complicated look in her eyes. 

Chloe stiffened, a shock going through her heart. “You know this piece?* 

Queen Julia smirked slightly. It seemed that Chloe was a cautious one, but she reacted fast. A normal person would’ve just answered her question, right? 

“You don’t want to tell me?” 

Chloe quietly stared at Queen Julia’s face, her smile, her eyes, filled with profound meaning. After a while, Chloe finally said, “It was taught to me by my mother…” 

Chloe could clearly feel the grip on her arm tighten instantly. Ice–cold sweat covered Queen Julia’s palm, and she couldn’t control her shaking or the excitement on her face. Her thoughts were a whirlwind.
