The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1677

Chapter 1677

Why did Ava and her daughters, Barbara, and Becky, feel such strong resentment towards Yasmine and Chloe?

Their presence threatened the luxury and opulence Ava and her daughters were currently enjoying.

Even if Ava were to plead with Yasmine, expressing how she was forced into her past actions and had been led astray, and even if Yasmine were to forgive her, their lives would still change. They could continue to reside in the palace and enjoy a life of extravagance, but with Yasmine and Chloe in the picture, their status would inevitably decline.

That was because, in Y Country, social hierarchy was deeply ingrained. Positions of authority were clearly distinguished. Those of lower rank were inevitably inferior to those of higher rank, and always expected to flatter and ingratiate themselves.b2

Once such a concept took root, it naturally influenced every aspect of life. For example, the eldest son ina family was always respected more than the second son. In socialite gatherings, only the eldest daughters were invited, not the younger ones. This applied even if they were born of the sarne mother.

So, it was no surprise that Becky, who was blissfully ignorant, despised Chloe, the sudden new arrival. She had watched Barbara attend numerous socialite gatherings, and on good days, she might have even been invited to join. Some privileges of being the eldest daughter were extended to her by their mother to appease her.

But Chloe's arrival meant that even Barbara could no longer enjoy the prestige of being Y Country's eldest princess. Becky's situation was even worse. So, how could she possibly like Chloe?

Becky's thoughts were rather superficial.

Barbara, on the other hand, was fixated on the dress Chloe was wearing that day. The dress, adorned with diamonds and jewels, and embroidered with a phoenix made of exquisite rubies and sapphires, made Chloe look like a majestic bird ready to take flight.

Barbara knew that Queen Julia was a woman of elegance who had a fondness for different cultures. She understood what the phoenix represented and was well aware of what was coming.

Soon, Chloe would be standing before the world in that dress, flaunting her authentic royal status in ¥Y Country.

At that time, Barbara would become the laughingstock of everyone.

In ¥ Country, where class consciousness was deeply rooted, Barbara used to become a target of ridicule. The once untouchable socialite would become the subject of gossip and derision.

In this world, you could claw your way up from nothing, but you couldn't stand being second when you'd been at the top. It felt just like a fall from grace.

Was she at the top now? No, she wasn't. She didn't have the princess’ coronation, and the throne was getting farther away, all because of Chloe.

Ava, even more so, had her eyes on the throne, which was her ultimate goal.

Why couldn't a person be ambitious? Because she was ambitious, she'd lived a life of prosperity and luxury for over thirty years. She'd been a princess for so long, so why couldn't she dream of ascending to the throne? If it weren't for Yasmine and Chloe, she would have had the throne within her grasp!
