Wendy's smile was getting brighter and brighter; she was totally basking in the joy of defeating Chloe.
"But Lady Luck does have a soft spot for me. Just yesterday, she gave me an astonishing gift..."
Queen Julia's voice, previously filled with sorrow, suddenly turned jovial, and her happiness was evident in every word she spoke.
"Fortuna whispered to me that 36 years after I lost my daughter, Jasmine, she would send me a messenger, telling me that my Jasmine is not dead..."
Before Julia could finish, the banquet hall was suddenly filled with loud reactions.
"What?!"
"The Queen's daughter is alive?"
"How is that possible? After all these years, why didn't she come back if she's alive?"
"Yeah, didn't Princess Ava see her cremated with her own eyes?"
Ava's face turned pale, her body was shaking, unable to stand still due to the shocking news. Barbara seemed to have guessed something, but at this point, she couldn't stop what was about to happen.
Queen Julia paused for a few seconds. Wendy hesitated to lift her head, her face still filled with excitement.
"Chloe, come here..."
Everyone's gaze followed Queen Julia's hand to a shadowy figure beside her. A tall and slender figure in a magnificent evening gown stepped out from the shadows.
When Wendy saw the face that she knew and resented, all her expressions froze. Chloe?! Why was she there?!
Queen Julia's words suddenly popped into her mind, something about Jasmine not being dead, a messenger sent by Lady Luck yesterday...
What the hell was a messenger?!
Seeing Chloe appear, everyone was shocked. They knew this woman. She was one of the main characters in yesterday's state banquet event, and many of them were aware of her existence.
They might not have known the little details, but they were aware that Chloe was an international leading perfumer, CEO of Starlight International, and the fiancée of the CEO of the Harper Group. But they never expected Chloe to have such a surprising identity.
Chloe was wearing a dark blue gold-wired dress with matching feathers on her shoulders that accentuated her shoulder lines. She didn't wear any extra accessories. With the dress covering her ankles, she looked dignified and elegant.
Her unique aura was so captivating, it was hard to take your eyes off her.
Chloe had a cold expression on her face, and the moment she appeared, Queen Julia took her hand. She lovingly pulled Chloe to her side.
Chloe clearly felt the uncontrollable strength in Queen Julia's hand; she was even trembling. She looked up at Julia and gave a slight smile, which made Queen Julia hold her hand even tighter. "Actually, I didn't plan to say so much at the banquet today, and I didn't want so many reporters to limit everyone's speech and behavior, but I'm just so happy, I can't control my emotions right now. I want to share the happiest moment of my life with all of you..."
Julia said, looked at Chloe, and laughed. "I believe you've already guessed it. Yes, Chloe, her name is Chloe, she's the biological daughter of my daughter Jasmine, my granddaughter, the real and only princess of the Y country!"
There was silence for a few seconds, then someone started clapping slowly, which immediately caused the whole banquet hall to burst into applause.
"Congratulations, Queen, you finally found your real daughter and granddaughter."
"Congratulations, Queen, this is really great news."
"Congratulations..."
Although there were doubts in everyone's hearts, they knew the right thing to do now was to offer heartfelt blessings.
Queen Julia's loss of her daughter was not a secret. In others' eyes, it was just an accident, a tragedy, something to be sympathized with.
But sympathy and real understanding were very different. No one knew how Queen Julia had lived through these many years. She looked no different from ordinary people on the outside, but how hurt was she on the inside when everyone else was asleep?
In their eyes, Queen Julia was not a person who had never experienced pain. They could understand why she was so emotional this time. Being a queen didn’t necessarily mean you could always be as strong as a rock.
Facing everyone's blessings, Wendy felt like her head was going to explode, it was buzzing.
"Yes, Chloe, her name is Chloe, she's my granddaughter, the real and only princess of the Y country."
In Wendy's heart, there seemed to be an echo, repeating this sentence over and over again, trying to make her accept this fact as soon as possible.
"No, how can this be, how can this be..." She shook her head blankly, unable to accept this reality.
How could Chloe possibly be a princess? Wasn't she supposed to be absent? Why would she suddenly appear there? She was supposed to win this state banquet; she wanted to make Damon regret, to make him come back to her.
She was the heiress of the Alonso family; she was much better than Chloe...
"No! This is not true! Chloe is a liar, she's a liar!"
Wendy couldn't accept this reality. How could she accept it? She had been waiting for so long, only thinking about stepping on Chloe. Why did it suddenly turn out like this?
She couldn't control herself and screamed out loud, attracting the attention of everyone in the banquet hall.
Upon hearing Wendy's words, Queen Julia frowned. She could easily see Wendy sitting in a wheelchair from her high position. Chloe also looked over, seeing Wendy looking so crazed. A small smile began to form at the corner of her mouth.
Even though she suddenly became the princess of the Y country, Chloe herself found it unbelievable, and she didn't know how to deal with this princess identity. But seeing Wendy's state now, she suddenly felt that being a princess wasn't so bad after all.
Wendy was livid, eyeballing Chloe as if every nerve in her brain was on the brink of a meltdown. She was so pissed, she didn't even notice the gut-wrenching pain left by Damon's punishment. Raising her finger at Chloe, she shrieked, "You're all being duped by her! Chloe's a fraud! She's one of the members of the Summers family from P City. The whole Summers clan all despise her and can't stand the sight of her. If that doesn't tell you what sort of a piece of work she is, I don't know what will. How on earth could she be connected with the royal family of Y Country?"
"Wendy!" Cole hadn't seen this coming from Wendy, he frowned and hissed under his breath.
Wendy had just thoroughly embarrassed the entire Alonso family!

The readers' comments on the novel: The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride
did it really end this way. can I have the rest of the book ending??...
So, all of them were basically forced into sexual acts by their partners the first time, then their partners wanted to seclude them from everyone. On top of that, all of are jealous of their own children. The only couple that seem to have it good were Azriel & Phoebe. This book was honestly quite sickening & there’s no way anyone should find this romantic...
