Chapter 1716

Barbara nodded, “Should there any inconvenience?”

Chloe chuckled coldly. Lounging on the sofa, with a piece of fruit in her hand, she looked as relaxed as one could be.

Inconvenience? Was there anyone with more free time than her right now?

She was supposed to be picking fruit for Grandma as a sign of respect, so how could she be inconvenient?

She lowered her gaze, hiding the glint in her eyes, before she looked up again, “Of course not

Barbara forced a stiff smile. “Great, let’s go together then

Chloe popped the piece of fruit into her mouth, slowly straightening up, her gaze fixed on Barbara for a long

moment before she finally spoke, “I don’t mind going, I’m just worried we’ll encounter another driver like last time.

If I end up in danger, it’s just not

worth it.“e2

Barbara’s face stiffened. Queen Julia’s expression also darkened. I don’t mind whether I have the fruit or not. Chloe,

just stay at

home.”

Chloe grinned at Barbara, The weather is indeed chilly. Missing one chance to show my respect won’t harm. There’s

always next

time

Chloe paused for a moment, but Barbara didn’t seem to notice. “If you’re busy, never mind, I can go alone”

She stood up. But as soon as she did, she swayed, looking like she would collapse on the spot.

“Barbara! You’re still unwell. Quit messing around!” Ava exclaimed

Barbara shook her head, “It’s the best time to harvest the fruit, and it’s a shame to miss it. Besides, I feel more at

ease doing something for Grandma rather than staying at home.”

Her words were beautiful. Even Chloe herself was almost moved.

“Chloe, go with her.” The person who spoke was Yasmine, who had been silent until now.

Her sudden words drew everyone’s attention. Barbara and Ava looked at her warily.

She calmly marked a spot on a document, then added: “You don’t have anything else to do. Might as well take a

stroll.”

Yasmine looked up from the document, staring directly at Chloe. Mother and daughter locked eyes for a moment

before Chloe finally nodded. “Alright, since you personally invited me, I suppose one trip won’t hurt.”

Barbara’s smile seemed a bit more genuine. “Let’s go.”

Chloe nodded, “You don’t mind if I bring someone along, right?”

Barbara frowned, prepared to decline, but Chloe beat her to it.

“Picking fruit is laborious work, so an extra pair of hands won’t hurt. Besides, I’m not entirely comfortable going out

alone with

you

Barbara was speechless.

There was a brief moment of awkwardness in the room. Chloe was the first to leave. When Barbara followed her

out, she noticed another woman trailing Chloe. The woman was slender, dressed in a fitted white down jacket,

holding an incongruously large black suitcase

Barbara frowned but said nothing since Chloe had only brought a woman.

The three of them headed towards the palace gates.

“Chloe, wait for me Barbara struggled to keep up, and when they teached the palace gates, she called out to them.

Chloe raised an eyebrow, stopping

Barbara caught up to them, panting slightly I’m sorry, I’m not feeling well, could we walk slower?”

Why don’t you just stay home if you’re feeling unwell Jane noticed Barbara’s flushed cheeks and her somewhat

hoarse voice and instinctively said However, before she could finish her sentence, Barbara’s legs went weak, and

she collapsed to the ground. “Hey!” Jane hurriedly bent down to check on her

Barbara managed to lift her heavy eyelids, ‘I’m sorry, I’m feeling dizzy I don’t think I can make it to the farmhouse!

But Chloe. could you go for me? The bananas and oranges need to be picked, and my father needs to be informed

to come home.

Otherwise, I don’t know how to explain to Grandma.”

Chloe crossed her arms, looking down at Barbara. “Go alone? I thought you had some new scheme to torment me

on the way. Seems like I overthought.”

Barbara sounded weak, “You… you overthought. Grandma is already unhappy with me, so why would I do

something to upset her further. It’s not beneficial for me, right?”

Chloe’s eyes gleamed with deep thought. After a long moment, she smirked sarcastically. “You should rest. After all,

this is something Grandma arranged, and someone has to do it.”

Barbara managed a weak smile, “Thank you.”

Chloe smirked and turned to leave.

Barbara said to Jane, “I can go back by myself. You should accompany Chloe. Thank you.”

Jane helped her up.

Barbara watched as Chloe and Jane got into their car. As the car started, a cold smile appeared on her sickly face.

In the car, Jane looked at Chloe with a puzzled expression.

“What are you thinking? What good can come out of that woman inviting you? And you actually agreed to go with

her?”

Chloe asked instead: “Is she really sick?”

Jane paused, “Yes, she does have a fever, doesn’t seem like she’s faking it.”

Chloe smirked, nonchalantly saying: “It has been three days. This cold of hers has lasted so long, and it’s a miracle

her brain hasn’t fried yet.”

Jane “Are you saying she’s doing this on purpose? But why would she put on such an act?”

Chloe settled into a comfortable position. “Of course, it’s not to make my life easier. What good can come out of

her?”

Jane’s face darkened. “You know it’s dangerous and you’re willing to walk right into her trap?! I’ll call your

husband.”

Chloe gave her a mysterious look, “Go ahead, it was my mom who asked me to go this time. If he wants to settle a

score, he should take it up with my mom”

Jane quirked an eyebrow, “So are you still going?”

“Of course I am, Chloe retorted, “Wouldn’t it be a waste if I didn’t witness the grand performance they’ve been

rehearsing so

diligently?”

Jane let out an exasperated sigh, her hand massaging her forehead as she snapped, “Are you out of your mind?

You’re knowingly walking into a lion’s den?”

Chloe hummed nonchalantly, her eyes closed, “Indeed, this time I’m playing the role of Daniel”

Jane clenched her teeth so hard they ached, “Daniel? You mean, a pregnant Daniel?”
