Married a Secret Billionaire

Cordelia placed her cutlery down without giving anything away.

Alexander furrowed his brows with puzzlement in his gaze.

“Sister, you…”

“Don’t ask how I found out!” Victoria took a sip of champagne as she snickered at them. “That’s not very nice of you all to hide a talented, pretty girl like this!”

Cordelia took a deep breath. It was apparent that Victoria had investigated Aurelia in secret.

It was not difficult for a princess to look someone up based on her influence, but Victoria did this because of Neil… Jealousy made one lose their sound judgment.

Cordelia was mulling over how she should help Aurelia out of this when Victoria told the queen, “Auntie, you must like Cordelia’s dress, right? I thought it was a famous designer’s work when I first saw it!”

“Oh?” The queen chuckled. “This makes me more curious about the lady who made this dress, then! Cordelia, is she an embroidery artist from the Irwins? You Irwins have lots of talented people!”

“Of course not!” Victoria sat next to the queen and held her arm intimately. “Aurelia’s only 18 years old, but she’s exceptionally skilled and has marvelous taste. Not only does she have the skills, but she’s also really gorgeous. It’s just that…”

“Just what?”

Victoria smirked. “It’s just that she’s working odd jobs at a tailor’s. What a waste of her talent!”

The queen was a kind woman who appreciated talent. She frowned as soon as she heard that. “How could such a wonderful young lady waste away in a tailor shop!?”

“Right? Auntie, why don’t… we recruit her to the palace to specially tailor clothes for you? What do you think?”

Cordelia’s heart thumped as she clenched her fists under the table. She only had one thought—she must not let Aurelia enter the palace!

It was not just that she only had a temporary residence permit now. She could not be trapped in this grand palace even with official citizenship.
