Chapter 1692

Realizing who they had just seen, the crowd turned back to look, only catching a glimpse of two retreating silhouettes heading towards the door.

“Yeah, and the man with her, wasn’t he the CEO of the renowned global conglomerate?”

The Harper Group. He’s not the CEO anymore, but the lady with him is undoubtedly the royal princess.”

“Such a pity, she was so modestly dressed, I didn’t recognize her

“No worries, there will be plenty of opportunities to see her. At the New Year’s Day Coronation, she’s sure to be there.“c2

The two sisters who were stopped and asked for invitations had rather unpleasant expressions on their faces. The people around were now casting their glances towards them. Being present without an invitation could easily make them a subject of ridicule.

Even Barbara felt embarrassed and angry due to their blindness, her brows furrowing in vexation.

Due to her usual pretense, even this subtle change in expression made others inexplicably feel a certain pressure

After all, it was a highly–anticipated banquet. Offending the guests or causing any further disturbance that could ruin Miss Fiona’s birthday celebration wouldn’t bode well for anyone

There were plenty of spectators around, eagerly waiting for drama to unfold. Even Becky could sense it.

“Are you blind, daring to stop us?”

The two checking invitations glanced at each other awkwardly

At this point, a few flamboyantly dressed women came over to them and said “indeed, you two have to know your places. The two ladies are the most esteemed princesses in Y Country. They come to pay their respects on Miss Fiona’s birthday, and you dare to stop them?”

“Having the royal princesses attend your mistress’s birthday party is a great honor for anyone, I’m sure even Duke Dubonnet would agree. If you dare to stop them, the Dubonnet family will have to face the consequences. Don’t create trouble for Duke Dubonnet

“Absolutely right”

Some people seized the opportunity to curry favor with the two princesses, leaving the two checkers with a difficult expression.

“But Miss Fiona said, for her birthday party this year, she only recognizes invitations, not people.”

“Exactly, this is what Miss Fiona specifically told us

The two spoke frankly, but everyone heard it loud and clear These words seemed to be targeted specifically at the two princesses

Indeed, every year, Barbara, the elder princess, outshone the birthday girl at Fiona’s party, sometimes even accompanied by Princess Becky. No one really wanted them to show up

Although the presence of the royal princesses brought glory to the entire family the Dubonnet family didn’t really need their favor. As the proud Duke who had assisted the Queen in managing Y Country, even the Queen had to give him some respect. Did he need two princesses to boost his household’s prestige?

Duke Dubonnet’s most beloved granddaughter was always proud and spoiled. She occasionally disliked dealing with the two princesses. But the Queen, Julia, always respected the Dubonnet family, so they had to swallow their pride, despite their dissatisfaction.

However, Becky and Barbara didn’t expect Fiona to blatantly guard against them today. The dignified princesses of a nation were deliberately stopped at the door, which was embarrassing Hearing people starting to flatter them, Becky raised her chin arrogantly, snorted, and looked at the two with a more domineering look “Did you hear that? If you heard it, let us in Can you afford the consequences if you don’t?”

“Becky” Barbara stretched out her hand to hold Becky, her tone somewhat stem, “Stop it”

Becky stomped her foot in frustration, I’m not causing trouble. It’s them who don’t know any better”

Barbara pulled her back and said to the two: “We grew up with Miss Fiona. We’ve never missed her birthdays and don’t plan to. We’re just here to celebrate her birthday. We indeed didn’t bring an invitation, but can you please ask Duke Dubonnet directly? If he doesn’t agree with us going in, we’ll just leave the gift and leave, wishing Fiona a happy birthday”

She paused, smiled at them, and her words sounded non–aggressive, but everyone understood What did it mean to ask Duke Dubonnet directly, and not to insist if he disagreed?

She directly pushed the problem to Duke Dubonnet. How could he possibly refuse the royal princesses who came to celebrate his granddaughter’s birthday? it clearly indicated that Barbara and Becky were determined to get in tonight

-After a moment of hesitation, they nodded, “Alright, we’ll call the Duke right away”

However, just as one of them picked up the phone, Damon and Chloe approached them.

Chloe handed over her invitation. “Excuse me Her gentle and soft spoken voice emerged as she stood wrapped in her down jacket, keeping a rather low profile yet still managing to draw some attention towards her

Everyone was dressed in dazzling attire for the party Even those wearing outer coats did so while ensuring they looked attractive. But Chloe’s attire was so seasonally appropriate Without her, other socialites wouldn’t have realized they were actually living in winter

Taking the invitation from Chloe, one of them became more respectful after reading its contents

“So, it’s the princess. Please, come in.”

Princess? Everyone caught onto the keyword, and all eyes turned to Chloe as if saluting.

The high collar of her down jacket was covering her chin, leaving the most noticeable feature her eyes. A pair of starry eyes, placid and unruffled, were

nestled in the broad, commanding chest of a tall, upright man. The woman seemed so incredibly delicate, it was hard to reconcile her with the rumored iron lady, who was known to be ruthlessly formidable.

She looked so harmless.

For a moment, everyone present relaxed their guard around Chloe, regretting how easily they had believed the rumors. Yet despite this, they dared not approach rashly. Because the man by her side, with his aloof and frigid demeanor, was enough to deter anyone.

Chloe nodded, turning to enter, her gaze landing on Barbara and Becky A hint of inexplicable amusement twinkled in her eyes.

At that moment, another person who had been consulting Duke Dubonnet over the phone, hung up and walked over to Barbara and Becky, saying, “You highnesses, thank you for your patience, the Duke has agreed to let you in 1

The amusement in Chloe’s eyes deepened. Her smile, however, almost made Barbara lose her composure and slap her hard across the face.
