Chapter 854


    “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 ying 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 whosts 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 n!”


    “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 Carme had been waiting for her. Even though she was


    anxious, she kept her cool on the outside.


    “Auntie—”


    Before she could say a sentence, Carme pped her.


    Victoria’s face throbbed in pain as she looked in disbelief at her aunt, who had always loved her.


    Carme was no longer kind and loving like she used to be, ring 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?” Carme snickered. “Victoria, you don’t have your mother.


    Your uncle and I took you and your brother into the pce and raised you! I’m very well aware of what

    “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 pce? She’s gone crazy because you left her


    daughter in another country!”

    “Victoria Charles!” Carme 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 Carme’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 d 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 Carme in despairing tears.


    “Auntie… Auntie, forgive me this once! Aunt Helene ran out but didn’t cause any damage…”


    “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!?”


    Carme 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!


    Carme 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!”
