Chapter 813 Announce the Answer
Chapter 813 Announce the Answer
"Pfft..." Chloe inhaled sharply, struggling to contain her glee.
Was Clara not supposed to be Xavia's lackey? Yet, it seemed like she had been playing two roles— one for the public eye and another behind the scenes.
At that moment, Xavia quivered as if she had been struck by an intense force. She appeared as delicate as a sheet of paper on the brink of crumbling. She swiftly bolted out of the door, fleeing as if desperate to escape the scene.
As the crowd grew larger, Chloe was struck with an idea. She subtly nudged Zoelle with her elbow, and the latter instantly grasped her thoughts. As Xavia rushed past them, Zoelle extended her foot. Consumed by anger, Xavia failed to notice this subtle motion and tripped. As she headed face-first to the ground, Zoelle quickly caught her by the waist.
"Oww, are you okay? You should watch where you’re going.”
Xavia, not wanting to be here, swiftly shook Zoelle off and continued running without a word in response.
"So? Did you manage to feel anything? Was the contact too brief?" Chloe asked anxiously. The interaction had hardly lasted for more than five seconds.
Zoelle threw Chloe a reproachful look, "Do not equate me with common doctors. Besides, this isn't anything extraordinarily difficult.”
Only amateurs would find such a thing impressive.
"And the result? What did you find?" Chloe inquired in a hushed tone, her eyes shimmering with anticipation. "Is she pregnant or not?"
"You should show some respect. That woman is putting on a grand spectacle while naked, so we should watch till the end," Zoelle replied, turning back toward Clara. She continued watching with a wickedly gleeful expression on her face.

Callum's face turned ashen as he barked orders to the guards, "What are you waiting for? Get her out of there now!"
The bodyguards, caught off guard by the situation, quickly closed their dropped jaws and responded, "Yes, right away, sir."
Clara fiercely shielded Chad, preventing anyone from reaching him. Faced with no other option, the guards covered her with some clothes and then knocked her unconscious before carrying her away.
Carolina, already in bed, was completely unaware of the chaos that had unfolded.
Frustrated and annoyed, Callum left the chaotic scene for Kenneth to manage.
Kenneth was just as irritated as Xavia, and his anger burned fiercely. His thoughts were consumed by concern for his beloved. He firmly asserted, "Father, this situation is far too strange to be ignored. We can’t allow it to be swept under the rug. We have to conduct a thorough investigation and uncover the person behind it."
"Silence!" Callum snapped coldly, "Is this whole fiasco not shameful enough already?" All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
"But Dad..."
"Enough!"
Ignoring Kenneth’s further protests, Callum called for the guests to move on to the bonfire. He then turned to Joseph. “I’ll have a new room prepared for you.”
Joseph replied indifferently, "Sure."
"Is this your doing?"
"Not exactly."
Callum instantly grasped the situation. It was clear that Clara had attempted to seduce Joseph but was discovered red-handed. In the end, her plan backfired on her.
Joseph's attention shifted to Noah, who had approached Chloe and gently taken her hand. As if sensing an underlying tension, Noah glanced backward and locked eyes with Joseph. His gaze was cool and unyielding as he silently issued a caution.
Joseph averted his gaze and rolled up his sleeves. "Let's go. I have no interest in witnessing a spectacle put on by two monkeys."
Callum was left speechless. The royal family never kept pet monkeys, but the way Clara and Chad had acted certainly qualified as monkeys making fools of themselves.

"What were you whispering about with Zoelle? Why didn't you come to me?" Noah's voice was gentle, tinged with a touch of sadness.
Chloe did not hesitate to share with him about Xavia's situation. "I was asking Zoelle to help confirm whether Xavia is pregnant."
"And did she manage to find out?"
Chloe pulled Noah toward Zoelle, who was walking ahead of them, and relayed Noah's question, "So? Is Xavia pregnant or not? It's time to announce the answer."
