Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

“Your Highness…” The servant’s expression underwent an abrupt change.

“Your Highness, calm down. His Majesty’s given orders that no one could—”

“Why, are my words useless to you now?” Victoria scowled. “Do as I say!”

Left with no option, the servant could only go toward the palace on the west.

Victoria stood on the balcony, looking at the merry wedding farther away coldly. A vicious smirk tugged the corner

of her lips.

…

After Aurelia thanked the two embroidery artists, she left the dressing room.

Her clothes were fixed. The new tassels were made with excellent materials in the palace, and the two embroidery

artists who had helped her were skilled and worked swiftly.

Aurelia wore a smile as she took the same way to go back, humming a song.

When she passed by the banquet hall, she saw that there were not many people inside. Most of the guests were in

the garden. Although there was food in the banquet hall, the rich and noble who wanted to curry favor were not

there since the groom and bride were not in there either.

Aurelia looked at the array of dishes spread across tables, and her stomach rumbled. Her hand automatically flew

to her stomach as she checked left and right, smiling shyly when she made sure that no one noticed her

embarrassing state.

Since no one was exactly around, she might as well head in for some food! It would be a disservice to these well-

made dishes otherwise!

With the thought in mind, she walked in and feasted. Not too long into her meal, she heard a baby’s cries.

The nanny came over carrying little Zuko, and a few servants followed behind. The sun was too bright in the

garden, while the banquet hall was airy and cooling, a good place for some rest.

Zuko probably did not have a good sleep and fussed after waking up, so he cried just after some milk.

Aurelia went over to play with him, removing the tassels on her clothes to let him play with them.

The baby was quiet for a while, beady eyes staring at her, before suddenly flailing his chubby hands for her to carry

him.

Aurelia picked him up with a grin. The baby, who was just a little over three months old, was chubby and looked

endearing with his big eyes. She felt her heart melt.

“Ms. Chilton, it’s like you have magic!” the nanny said with a chuckle. “Little Mr. Zuko stops crying as soon as you

carry him! Looks like he likes you a lot!”

“Of course!” Aurelia felt a little triumphant. “I carried him when he was just born! I made his baby clothes too.

“Isn’t that right, little baby?”

“Mm, ooh!” It was like little Zuko could understand as he made little noises with pursed lips.

It made everyone giggle.

“Ms. Chilton, please, continue with your meal. Leave little Mr. Zuko to me,” the nanny said politely.

Aurelia nodded with a smile.

The moment she passed Zuko to the nanny, there was suddenly a commotion at the door of the banquet hall!

A woman was screaming hysterically, her voice sharp like a pair of scissors that ripped the peace there to shreds.

The footsteps of the guards then followed it.

The nanny hugged Zuko tightly in instinct while a few servants put her behind them.

Aurelia stared at the door in a daze…

Suddenly, a white figure barged in! Aurelia could not help retreating as she cried, “Ah!”

If it were not broad daylight out here, she would have thought that she had met a ghost!

The woman wore all white with disheveled hair. There was no hint of color on her face. Even her lips were pale…

She was bony and thin, like a walking statue!

Aurelia blanked from being so shocked and could not react, given how stiff she was. She watched as the woman

barged into the banquet hall and ran around like she had gone crazy. The few guests in the hall were also

frightened, screaming as they fled.

The woman looked around with a shrill cackle.

The laughter was so unsettling that it was the first time Aurelia had goosebumps in the warm Southeast Aciatic.

“Your Highness, Your Highness…” Guards and maids all ran in.

Two maids tried going forward, but the woman somehow got a hold of a fork and was scanning her surroundings

with a vicious gaze like she was a trapped beast.

The maids pleaded with her, “Your Highness, please go back with us…”

“Your Highness, let’s drop the fork first, okay?”

The guards surrounded the place but dared not go forward due to the woman’s status. They could only do their

best to protect the guests.

Aurelia’s heart thumped, and her throat went dry while her body was shaking.

Your Highness? Where did she come from, and why did she look like that!?

She observed the woman. She did not look young, and time had left its mark on her face, but it was not hard to see

from her features that she used to be a gorgeous beauty, especially her long chestnut hair…

Aurelia touched her hair and frowned slightly.

“Your Highness, come back with us!”

The woman could only scream hysterically as she waved the fork in her hand around. Her muddled eyes were filled

with fear and hatred for the world.

Zuko suddenly broke out crying.

As if something struck the woman, she raised the fork and dashed toward where the baby was.

The nanny was terrified, frozen solid, while the servants could not react in time.

During this critical juncture, Aurelia sprang up and hugged the woman as hard as she could—God knew where she

plucked her courage from.

“Leave with Zuko now!”

It was only then the nanny and servants broke out of their daze.

The woman was angered and growled with flailing arms. Aurelia dared not let go from hugging her, but a pang

came from her arm the next second—the woman had stabbed the fork into her wrist!

Blood flowed instantly, and the excruciation caused Aurelia to let go on instinct, falling to the floor with the woman.

The maids rushed forward with the chance to grab the woman’s shoulders and legs. An older attendant pulled a

syringe of sedative out of her pocket and aimed for the vein to inject it.

Aurelia was pale as she held a hand over her wound, but blood was still dripping from the gaps between her fingers.

Noises came from the outside again. Those in the garden for the wedding came rushing over when they heard the

commotion here.

Cordelia felt ill as she had asked the nanny to take Zuko to the banquet hall for food. As soon as she stepped into

the hall, she was stupefied by the scene.

“Zuko… Aurelia!”

Cordelia first picked up her son to coax him before hurrying to ask someone to treat Aurelia. She could not help but

shake, carrying her son as she sucked in cold breaths.

The commotion eventually died down, but the suddenness of everything that had transpired disorientated her.

Zephyr wrapped an arm around her shoulders with an icy look. After some time, he looked at Alexander, who came

in and asked with a deep tone, “Your Highness, what’s the matter with this? I need a reasonable explanation!”
