“Take the initiative since she doesn’t!” Cordelia was impatient for them.
“Am I not taking enough initiative?” Neil frowned and put on his prideful front again. “I’ve already confessed once…
and she was playing with a frog when I did it! I won’t do this a second time. How bruised would my ego be
otherwise!?”
“…”
“Never mind, I’ll take my time with her.” Neil smirked. “We’ll see who lasts till the end!”
Cordelia fled, covering her face. These two people were not easy to handle—they were a persistent pair who loved
irritating each other.
“Hey, Cordelia, why are you leaving? I haven’t finished telling you my plan!”
“Not gonna hear it!” Cordelia fled. “Zuko’s asking for me!”
“There’s one more thing!” Neil shouted from the back, “Didn’t Aurelia get a checkup after she got hurt? What does
the report say? Is it with Uncle Rowan?”
…
Victoria arrived at the side hall, where Carmella had been waiting for her. Even though she was anxious, she kept

“Auntie—”
Before she could say a sentence, Carmella slapped her.
Victoria’s face throbbed in pain as she looked in disbelief at her aunt, who had always loved her.
Carmella was no longer kind and loving like she used to be, glaring at Victoria with rage burning in her eyes.
“Well done!”
“Auntie, I—”
“Why did you let Helene out? Do you know how dangerous that is!? Do you want to ruin your uncle!?”
Victoria did her best to deny it. “Auntie, it wasn’t me!”
“You really think your uncle and I are fools?” Carmella snickered. “Victoria, you don’t have your mother. Your uncle
and I took you and your brother into the palace and raised you! I’m very well aware of what you’re like!
“Alexander wouldn’t do something like this. Only you’d be so brainless!”
Victoria’s lips twitched as she gasped. She was both angry and scared facing the queen, whose presence was
intimidating. Her voice shook as she spoke without thinking. “Auntie, do you think I don’t know why Aunt Helene’s
locked up in the west palace? She’s gone crazy because you left her daughter in another country!”
“Victoria Charles!” Carmella growled.
The intimidation weakened Victoria’s legs, and she could only support herself by sticking her back against the wall
and looking at her timidly.
“Victoria, do you think I can’t do anything to you?”
“Auntie—”
There was a cold glint in Carmella’s eyes as she stepped close to Victoria and abruptly pinched her jaw with an icy
smirk.
“I can raise you, and I can end you! No one will care why the royal family has another missing person. Those people
will only be glad that one less person is fighting for the throne with them!”
Victoria looked at her in terror, shaking.
“Auntie, I didn’t do it on purpose… I never thought of harming my uncle! I-I was just angry when I saw Neil take the
girl in and wanted to ruin his cousin’s wedding. I—”
“When can you stop being such a simp!?”
Victoria was terrified and stayed quiet as she looked at Carmella in despairing tears.
“Auntie… Auntie, forgive me this once! Aunt Helene ran out but didn’t cause any damage…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That’s the Irwin heiress’ wedding, and you say there’s no damage when you embarrass them? The Irwins are
powerful in Southeast Aciatic. Without their support, will your uncle be able to secure his throne!?”
Carmella had a bad headache over Victoria.
Some people were stupid but were kind. Some people were bad but were smart. These two types of people were
not scary.
The scariest type of people was like her—stupid and bad!
Carmella breathed a long sigh and looked at Victoria in indignation.
“I’ve personally raised you. You’re no different from my daughter to me,” she said sternly. “But you should know
how important your uncle is to me! I forbid anyone from hurting him or doing anything unbeneficial to him!”
There was a pause before she added, “Including you!”
Victoria just kept nodding.
“You can’t be hasty with Neil. General Harris shows no intention of promising a marriage. The royal family can’t
possibly lower ourselves to beg him, can we?”
“No, of course not!” Victoria seemed to actually be scared as she promised swiftly, “I’ll listen to you!”
