With a warm and gracious smile, Barbara began, Fiona, let me introduce you to

lefore she could finish, Chloe stepped forward, extending her hand towards Fiona. “Hello, Miss Fiona, it’s an honor

to be invited to your birthday party I’s nice to meet you, I’m Chice, happy birthday.”

rom the beginning. Fiona had been observing Chloe, and her behavior, from directly engaging with her to ignoring

Barbara and initiating the conversation, left her with a positive first impression of this woman.

Especially in comparison to the superficial peacock that was Barbara, it was like night and day.

Though it was her first time attending the Dubonnet family’s event as a royal princess, her attire was simple yet

elegant, displaying grace without being Istentatious Her demeanor was modest and courteous, not aiming to steal

the spotlight or exude arrogance. In comparison to everyone else there: she stood out in a positive and admirable

way

Fiona, who had been sickened by Barbara and Becky’s nauseating display, finally cracked a smile for the first time

that evening as she extended her hand o grasp Chloe’s. She responded cheerfully, “Thank you for accepting my

invitation, Your Highness”

Chloe smiled at Fiona, a look of understanding flashing in her eyes. Fiona raised her eyebrows, and the two shared

a knowing laugh.

Barbara was seething at Chloe’s dismissal and Fiona’s friendly demeanor. From the very beginning, even after she

presented her extravagant gift, Fiona had not once smiled or thanked her, let alone addressed her as princess.

However, this woman had just arrived, and with a few insincere words, had completely changed Fiona’s demeanor

She just openly addressed Chloe as Princess‘, and what did that make her?

Fiona’s gaze took in Chloe again, “Your dress is lovely. What brand is it? I’ll buy one too.”

The crowd fell silent

Chloe smiled, “I have many more like it in my closet If you don’t mind, you can come over sometime and see if

there’s anything you like, I’ll give it to you

Fiona’s eyes lit up. “You have many dresses like this in your closet?”

“Yes, quite a few

At first, Fiona had suspected that Chloe’s understated and overly loose dress was a deliberate ploy, a different

strategy. But now, since she had many such dresses in her closet, it was clear that she liked this style of dress

Fiona had always struggled with her weight, and had tried dieting, but the process was too painful. Her grandfather

spoiled her, so she didn’t stick to it. and luckily, she didn’t gain more weight

However, choosing clothes was her daily torment. Especially when she saw all the other women in their sleek, fitted

gowns today, she had to comVINCE herself not to care

Who knew that Chice would suddenly appear, her loose dress exuding a unique charm

Fiona’s smile deepened. “Okay, I don’t have much to do every day, so I’ll come to you tomorrow. Or you can stay

with me tonight, and we can go together jomorrow?

With that she reached out and took Chloe’s wrist. This move shocked everyone

Everyone else wanted to get closer to Fiona, but Fiona seemed to have a strong guard up and a volatile temper

Known for her explosive temper and violent tendencies, she didn’t care about anyone else Even Barbara and

Becky, the two princesses, were treated the same. Now, however, she was showing a particular fondness for the

new princess

It was unbelievable.

What kind of magic did this woman have to win over this witch who gave everyone a headache with just a few

words?

Chloe shook her head at Fiona’s suggestion, “I’m afraid that won’t be possible”

“Why not?” Fiona frowned in dissatisfaction

The crowd was gleeful, publicly rejecting Miss Fiona was indeed ungrateful. Chloe helplessly looked in the direction

where Damon was standing, leaned

in close to Fiona and whispered: “He’s a bit difficult.”

Fiona turned to look and instantly understood. Then she gave Chloe a suggestive look.

“So clingy?”

Chloe simply smiled.

“Well, I won’t force you then.”

The crowd was left speechless. Who could tell them what was going on in Fiona’s head? She disdained the flattery

and brown–nosing of others, but was won over by a few insincere words. Being rejected in public was a joyride now,

was it?

Good heavens

From the beginning, Barbara felt utterly disregarded by the duo, a burning resentment simmering within her. And

they just wouldn’t quit

Looking at the gift box Chloe cradled in one arm, a smirk flickered in Barbara’s eyes. She then stepped forward and

chimed in: “Fiona, Chloe, could you spare a moment from your little tête–à–tête? Aren’t your arms tired from

hefting that colossal gift box?”

“Chloe, it’s your first time celebrating Fiona’s birthday, isn’t it? I wonder if you’ve prepared a unique gift for her?”
