CHAPTER 1714
The upstairs bedroom was now barely recognizable, and the once cozy living room was no different. Watching Ava hurl the last remaining landline phone to the ground, shattering it into pieces, Barbara finally reached her boiling point. She charged at Ava, grabbing her by the shoulders and shaking her violently
“What the hell is going on?!” she demanded. “It’s just Yasmine’s return. Is it really enough to make you act like this? Are you really willing to let them take everything you have?!”
Ava looked back at Barbara, her eyes bloodshot. Her hair was a disheveled mess, and her entire demeanor screamed defeat.
“I can’t accept it. Why did she have to come back now? Why now?!
Barbara was confused. “Tell me, what exactly happened?!”
Ava covered her face with her hands, slowly sliding onto the floor. Tve lost my princess status, and I’m about to lose my husband
too. I have nothing left”
“Father?” Hearing this from Ava, Barbara was also slightly taken aback.e2 Content © 2024.
Afterward, she found it somewhat ironic, “Father is too focused on that bitch to care about anything else. He didn’t even show up at the state banquet. I don’t think losing your princess title really matters to him. Hell, I bet even if you died, he wouldn’t attend your funeral.”
Ava’s anguish deepened. Even her own daughter now saw her marriage as a joke.
Yes, even if she died, William would likely not attend her funeral. Their marital relationship was practically non–existent Before. their facade was maintained for the sake of royal dignity and due to Ava’s mother’s intervention.
But now…
Barbara looked at Ava, her eyebrows furrowed. “Don’t tell me, you think father will use the loss of your princess title as an excuse to divorce you?”
The word ‘divorce” made Ava shudder. Barbara scoffed at her mother’s silence, “What’s there to worry about? Don’t you know him. by now? He hasn’t divorced you yet despite everything, right?
“He is the nephew of grandmother and a legitimate bloodline of the royal family. No matter how much he loves that bitch, he can’t ignore the royal family’s reputation. If he divorces you, what will people think of him and the royal family?
“Even if he wanted to divorce you, now that you’ve been stripped of the title of princess, he cannot do that to you anymore. He would never add insult to injury and tarnish the royal family’s reputation.”
Barbara looked down at Ava, “You didn’t think of that, did you?”
But Ava remained in her dejected state, her hands clutching her head. Barbara’s words hadn’t comforted her in the least.
Barbara gritted her teeth, “What’s wrong with you?!”
“It’s useless all useless. Ava muttered “It was bearable before, but now it’s not. Losing my princess status isn’t the issue. The issue is Yasmine’s return, and your grandmother will surely inform him of it”
Barbara didn’t say anything
Ava continued. “That’s not the issue either. The real issue is.
Tears fell from Ava’s eyes as she clutched her disheveled hair, her face pale
Barbara finally confirmed that something had happened to Ava that she was unaware of. “What’s the real issue?”
“The issue is that bitch is pregnant that bitch is pregnant!”
Barbara was stunned
“Before, he could tolerate it for the sake of the royal family’s dignity but now, now that she’s pregnant, if he comes back, he’ll have to give her and the child a status. Plus, with Yasmine and Chloe whispering in the Queen’s ear every day”
Barbara’s expression darkened
“Why now, why did she have to get pregnant now?!”
Barbara was momentarily confused, leaving Ava slumped on the floor. She stood up, stepping over the scattered debris, and took a seat on the sofa. No wonder her mother had been acting so strange these days. The real issue was the woman’s pregnancy and Yasmine’s return.
With Chloe already causing so much damage, adding Yasmine to the mix was just great.
