Chapter 815
Victoria scowled as well.
Allegra was the pawn she had prepared to attack Cordelia, but she did not expect the pawn to be this
useless, being countered in just a few sentences and getting embarrassed in front of the other
heiresses!
Cordelia was also to be med for being a sharp-tongued monster!
Victoria bit her lips. Keeping a straight face, she feigned sternness as she looked at Allegra. “Cousin,
have you had too much to drink? What nonsense are you talking about in front of everyone!?”
“Your Highness, I—”
“Apologize to Ms. Irwin!”
Allegra was indignant but understood it when she saw Victoria’s look. She smiled and politely
approached Cordelia with a ss to say, “Sorry, Cordelia. I just say what’s on my mind without thinking.
I don’t mean anything bad!”
Cordelia remained calm andposed.
“You know what, Cordelia? This toast is for you. Consider it my formal apology to you, okay?”
When Cordelia looked at Allegra, she had already raised her ss. The other heiresses were
insensible one if she did not ept the apology now.
She smiled. Well-behaved children rarely got constion candies. One reaped what they sowed in this
world. It was better to y the game till the end.
“A formal apology?” She emphasized each word. “A formal apology has its rules in Southeast Aciatic…
Are you nning to gloss it over with just a ss of wine, Ms. Oliver?”
Allegra froze, not expecting Cordelia to know the local customs and rules so well when she had not
been there for long.
Cordelia was right. ording to their rules, there was a difference between an apology and a formal
apology. A formal apology required one to visit the other party with gifts and, if necessary, get on their
knees to ask for forgiveness.
Cordelia looked at her with a small smile.
Allegra truly regretted her words now. Her brain-to-mouth filter did not work again. Why did she even
mention “formal” when she just had to apologize?
Now that she shot herself in her own foot, others wereughing at her too!

“Alright, Cordelia’s just joking with you.” Victoria mediated. “She’s a graceful heiress and the matriarch
of a significant family in Centrolis. She isn’t that petty. Drink the wine and consider this done. Will that
be okay with you, Cordelia?”
Cordelia had not wanted to be involved with Allegra and had to do Victoria a favor since the princess
had spoken.
Despite that, this was not what Allegra thought. She had wanted to y Cordelia for a fool when she
“apologized” just now. It was just that she did not get to finish her sentence.
To her, Cordelia was the Irwin heiress but had not grown up in Southeast Aciatic and was not the same
with them—heiresses who had grown up in luxury. Cordelia was an outsider!
For an outsider to act so brazenly, how would Allegra keep up in the high society of Southeast Aciatic if
she went down without a fight? She scoffed and upended her ss while Cordelia was unaware.
The ss of red wine sshed on Cordelia’s dress.
“Oh no, I’m so sorry!” Allegra pretended. “I lost my grip and spilled the wine… Cordelia, you wouldn’t be
mad at me, would you?”
Cordelia felt rage shoot up her head.
“You!” She red at Allegra. It was obviously intentional!
“Cordelia, Her Highness just said that you’re a graceful heiress and the matriarch of a major family. You
wouldn’t be so petty!”
Cordelia took a deep breath. It was unusually quiet around her as everyone shot herplicated
gazes.
Victoria was taken aback by what Allegra had done. She did not want her younger cousin to be at a
disadvantage, but Alexander was right—the Irwins were no pushovers. Cordelia was the apple of
Rowan’s eyes. How could she just take this injustice?
Moreover, they had to pay respect to the queen inside the pce after the flower viewing was over…
