Chapter 1684
“William has been spending all his time with that woman. He barely comes back to the palace, and I don't even get to see him. How am I supposed to pay my attention to him, Mother? He..."
Queen Julia extended her hand to stop her words, feeling a bit of a headache as she held her forehead. If she didn't intervene, Ava would undoubtedly vent her grievances, and Julia simply did not have the energy to deal with her at the moment.
Ava paused, her expression frozen in the midst of almost crying, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"That's between you and your husband, Ava. No matter how much I say, it won't help. William has repeatedly expressed his intention to bring that woman home, and each time, I've refused him. But his resolve hasn't wavered. If you don't fight for what you want, I don't know how long I can refuse him for you. "He is your husband after all. Here in Y Country, we've never strictly adhered to monogamy. Most duchesses and countesses have sister wives, and they all live harmoniously. William is my own nephew, and yet, out of consideration for your feelings, I've never allowed him to bring that woman home. Ava, you can't always rely on me to preserve your family."
Ava clenched her teeth, a surge of humiliation and anger welling up within her. She had always been sheltered, but now, somehow Julia had suddenly changed her tune.
“lL understand. I'll find a chance to talk to him."
"Good. If you're free, take Barbara and Becky to see him more often. Don't always keep your distance, waiting for him to take the initiative to compromise."
Ava remained silent, her lack of respect evident. But she didn't have the energy or mood to appease Julia at the moment. As she left the room, she leaned against the hallway wall, her head spinning from the anger.
Everything had changed. Everything. Everything was subtly shifting against her, and all because of Chloe.
Her eyes flashed with a deep resentment and ruthlessness. She could never tolerate this woman.
Barbara and Becky were waiting for Ava in the garden outside. They had seen their grandmother's attitude yesterday and wanted their mother to test the waters. If things were fine, they'd go in; if not, there was no need to walk into an unpleasant situation.
Occasionally, a group of young maids would walk by, their conversations all revolving around the recently returned Chloe.
"The princess who just returned is no ordinary person. I have been paying attention to her, and many of the legends about her are true."
"Yeah, I just commissioned someone to buy the perfume designed by her. I truly love it. She is talented and capable. Now, she has suddenly become the official princess of our royal family. What a life! It's absolutely enviable."
"Did you forget the most crucial point? Her boyfriend right now is Mr. Harper, who is held in high esteem by our entire royal family. Although we don't know his exact background, this treatment is sufficient to prove that he is definitely not common. He was once the notorious CEO of the Harper Group internationally. He has the looks, body, and aura that makes women's hearts flutter! What woman wouldn't like him? Even our royal family's other two princesses, anyone with keen observation would notice they are interested in him!"
"Do they still stand a chance? Mr. Harper and Ms. Chloe are already in a relationship. It's utterly impossible for them to break up for these two princesses. Moreover, the princess is of the real royal lineage. Anyone would not consider other options."
“Pfft! If those two princesses heard these words, they might want to kill you!"
"Stop talking about it now. If these words reach the ears of those two princesses, It really wouldn't be good."
The girls sat back-to-back on a bench, wishing they could silence those gossiping maids.
“Chloe, that bitch. How much more does she want before she's satisfied?" Becky, the most easily provoked of the two, spat out.

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...
These typos are so annoying..can't even understand a single word...
Some chapters are missing and some of them are repeated..it feels like story takes a jump because of it...
