Allegra was perplexed by the sudden question. She looked at Cordelia like she was looking at a monster. “W-What
do you mean?”
Cordelia chuckled. “I think there’s no fairness in this world. Otherwise, why was one chosen as a princess and could
possibly inherit the whole country in the future, and another… could only wash my dress for me in the washroom
when they’re cousins in the same family?”
“What are you talking about!?”
Allegra turned pale as she gnashed her teeth.
Even though Cordelia was instigating, she had hit the nail right on the head.
Allegra could not stand Victoria. Both of them had grown up playing and studying together—Victoria’s grades were
worse than hers too… Why could Victoria earn the king’s favor and become the only princess in the royal family?
They used to be like sisters, but there were now palace rules and etiquette when they met. She could not call
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVictoria by her name like she used to and had to respectfully address her “Your Highness”.
Ever since Victoria was appointed the princess, she had gotten arrogant and would rarely contact relatives like her,
acting condescending when she did. Each time, it was Allegra who visited the palace to pander to Victoria.
The proud and prideful Allegra clenched her jaw in resentment when she sometimes thought of it. However, she
could not show a hint of it right now, especially in front of Cordelia.
She still had to keep up with the pleasantries. “Hah, what are you saying, Ms. Irwin? What’s unfair about this? My
cousin’s intelligent, and the king is her uncle. They’re closer than we are! It’s deserving that she was chosen as the
princess!”
“Oh!” Cordelia drawled. “So, you believe that there’s fairness in this world?”
Allegra bit her lips. “Certainly, justice prevails!”
Cordelia continued to ask, “So, an eye for an eye is fair, too, right?”
Allegra froze and met Cordelia’s sharp gaze. She could not help being intimidated. “Cordelia, what… What do you
mean?”
Cordelia scoffed. “You tried me with your words and stained my dress, then instigated the whole table to attack me.
Ms. Oliver, what do you think I should do for it to be considered fair?”
Allegra’s heart dropped.
Before she could react, Cordelia locked the washroom door from the inside swiftly. Allegra gasped and wanted to
run out, but Cordelia kicked her in the knee.
Allegra fell to the floor in pain, kneeling!
With both hands, Cordelia grabbed her by the back of her collar to pin her against the sink. Allegra screamed and
struggled, but Cordelia smirked and pressed her head into the sink.
Allegra flailed with all her limbs. Cordelia lifted her head out of the water, waited for her to catch her breath, then
pressed her head in again…
After Cordelia repeated the process several times, Allegra begged for mercy, wailing. Gone was her audacity to

Her dress was soaked, her makeup was smudged, and her hair was disheveled.
Cordelia pulled her up with a yank on her hair and pressed her face against the mirror with a thump to let her see
what she looked like.
Allegra had choked in the sink of water, so she was coughing violently. She wanted to fight back and cursed at
Cordelia, but she was not her rival and could only let Cordelia do what she wanted.
“Ms. Oliver, justice prevails!” Cordelia smiled. “I felt wronged when you humiliated me in public, but I feel so good
now! You stained my dress, and I smudged your makeup. An eye for an eye. It’s very fair!”
“Cough, cough… Cordelia, you— Cough…”
Allegra spat for some time before she cried, “You b*tch!”
Cordelia blinked and smirked in mockery.
“Don’t just insult me. Think you can fight back?”
Allegra flailed around again and finally gave up.
“You probably didn’t know that Mr. Z Hamerton isn’t just the Hamerton heir but also a boxer, right?
“My husband taught me a lot! More than enough to handle people like you!”
The doorknob was twisted from the outside, and a voice sounded. “Is there anyone in there?”
