Chapter 855


    “As for Aurelia Chilton…” Carme looked at Victoria in annoyance.


    She honestly had yet to figure out what to do with Aurelia.


    For the time being, it looked like she was who Neil cared about. Based on how Noah doted on Neil, in


    addition to Noah not having a preference for status and family background, it was highly possible that


    he would allow Neil to marry Aurelia.


    Instead of letting Victoria throw her tantrum and kick up a fuss, offending the Harrises, she might as


    well be of help and use Aurelia to gain the Harrises’ support.


    Her ultimate goal was to keep the reign for Martin anyway.


    Carme loved Martin. As long as it was beneficial to him, she did not care about the price she had to


    pay. Whether it was the Irwins or the Harrises, they would be sources of strength Martin could use if


    she managed to pull them to her side.


    She would resort to any measure to eliminate anyone who dared stop her!


    “Auntie…” Victoria looked at her cautiously. “What will you do about Aurelia?”


    Carme’s face fell. “We’ll talk about itter!”


    “Victoria…” She reminded her again before they left the side hall, “You’d better know your ce and


    behave. I might still be able to keep you.”


    “Auntie?” Victoria jolted.


    “I know what Alexander’s like.” Carme sighed. “Society won’t tolerate a ruler like this. He might as


    well stay a prince this life. With the title and wealth, he’ll have a great life.”


    Victoria perked up in glee when she heard that.


    “Don’t be so happy too soon!” Carme threw her a frosty nce. “If you dare do anything that


    threatens your uncle’s position, I won’t let you go easily!”


    She left the side hall after that.


    Victoria wore a vicious smirk looking at Carme’s back.


    “Your Highness, are you alright?” Her maid walked in looking anxious. “Did the queen make it difficult


    for you?”


    “Of course not.” Victoria scoffed. “And she said that Alexander won’t ever be king. The throne will


    certainly be mine!”


    Her servant was delighted and congratted her profusely.


    “But…” Victoria gritted her teeth. “Aurelia has to be eliminated!”


    …


    Zuko grew up day by day, growing up from the ugly little duckling when he was first born to a stumbling


    handsome little guy learning to walk. He sometimes made sounds like “papa” and “mama” too.


    Cordelia often took him to visit X. Maybe it was because X was happy meeting her grandson that


    she recovered very fast. Her medication dosage was gradually decreased, and she went home to rest,


    enjoying family time with her children.


    Rowan was basically pseudo-retired as he left thepany to Carter and Zephyr. He kept grumbling


    about this son-inw of his, but the employees in Irwin Pharmaceuticals had seen the old man and his


    son-inw drinking and chattering in pubs more than once. The two men were all bros and stuff when


    they had too much to drink too…


    Unknowingly, it had been almost a year since they came to Southeast Aciatic.


    Aurelia had passed Southeast Aciatic University’s preliminary exam and became a preparatory student.


    She only had to take the exam again in theing year, and she would be able to officially study in the


    world-famous university.


    As for her and Neil, it seemed they had not rified things yet…


    Victoria had been surprisingly well-behaved during this period. Other than lingering where Aurelia


    worked asionally, she did not do anything too much.


    Everyone thought that they would carry on living in peace like this… until Zuko’s first birthday

    The Irwins had begun preparing for it a month ago, and the royal family sent gifts. Alexander was


    apologetic about the weddingst time, so the gift this time was incrediblyvish.


    It was still the same this time—Victoria and Alexander sent the present to Irwin Manor on behalf of the


    king. Rowan had received them personally and bowed formally.


    “Count Irwin, you don’t have to be so courteous,” Victoria said with a smile. “My uncle said that the


    Irwins are the pride of Southeast Aciatic. Your Count title can be passed down, so little Mr. Zuko will


    carry this glory!”


    “His Majesty is too nice to us!” Rowan bowed. “This room is a little messy. Please, Your Highness, have


    some tea at the tearoom inside!”


    Alexander nodded and walked ahead while Victoria paused to scan around.


    The guest lounge was piled up with gifts from everyone, and some rare gems were really umonly


    seen. This did not look like a little heir’s birthday—it was like the crown prince was throned king!


    Victoria sneered inwardly. It was no wonder her aunt had always been watchful of these major families.


    “Huh? What’s that?” Just when Victoria was walking out, she caught a glimpse of a special present with


    the unique emblem of a certain family.


    Rowan jolted but answered with a straight face, “It’s a gun from the general’s residence. Hah, Noah


    said that Zuko’s a boy, and it’s inevitable that he’ll y with knives and guns in the future. He’ll teach


    him with this gun by then.”

    “A present from the general’s residence?” Victoria’s eyes lit up. “So Neil’s here too?”
