Aurelia bit her lips, her beautiful amber eyes filled with resolution.
“Ms. Aurelia, have you made up your mind?”
Carmella was confident.
The sum of money in the envelope was enough for her to live a good life for quite some time, and a Southeast
Aciatic passport was the dream of many. The girl would have both of these. What was there for her to say no to?
It thus surprised Carmella that Aurelia scoffed. Her unaffected gaze was slightly disdainful. “Do you think I see uncle
as a transaction tool like you all?”
Carmella knitted her brows in alarm. “What did you say?”
Aurelia picked up the envelope and uttered each word seriously, “As long as I agree to your conditions, I’ll receive
money and official Southeast Aciatic citizenship! You’re right. I need both of these. But I’ll work for what I need. I
won’t exchange Neil for them!”

“Your Majesty, pardon my impoliteness.” Aurelia bowed and looked up straight into her eyes. “But I want to tell you
that you won’t be able to stop me!
“Cordelia told me that I should fight for it boldly if I love someone! She and Mr. Z were like that.” Aurelia’s voice was
shaky. “She didn’t know that she was the Irwin heiress back then and thought that she had a lowly background and
wasn’t worthy of Mr. Z, but she worked hard and kept improving!
“Cordelia said that standing next to a person equally is the best way love can look. He’s great, and I’m not too bad
myself. That’s what compatibility is!
“I… I’m also working hard to stand next to Neil and let him know that I deserve him. I can do it!
“So, I won’t accept your offer, Your Majesty!” Aurelia slapped the envelope on the table. “I won’t use Neil in
exchange for anything!”
It felt like all of Aurelia’s strength was sucked out of her after she spoke. Her hands and feet ran cold, and her
knees buckled. If there was no table in front of her as support, she absolutely would have fallen to her knees.
Carmella was incredibly shocked. It seemed that Aurelia was much harder to tackle than she had imagined… She
stayed silent in contemplation of her next move.
The scene was coincidentally caught by Alexander, who was hiding behind the door of the hall and had recorded
the whole thing to send it to Neil.
His phone was quiet for some time. Alexander chortled. The guy was most probably on cloud nine. He left the hall
quietly to go to a quiet corner in the garden and video called Neil.
“So, do I have to help the girl out for you now?”
Neil said nothing and merely stared at the screen dumbly.
“Have you gone silly from how happy you are?” Alexander chuckled dryly. “If you ask me, your girl’s a red hot chili
pepper. She doesn’t need me at all.”
“So, you left?” Neil asked.

Aurelia!”
“Still, go back and keep an eye out!” Neil panicked. He was probably elated by the video just now that he was
beyond himself, not even regarding Alexander’s royal status as he threatened the prince, “I’ll deploy the army to
the palace tonight if you don’t go back there right now!”
“You’re getting ridiculous!”
“Just go!”
Alexander rolled his eyes at him and hung up on the video call.
There was some distance between him at the royal garden and Carmella’s palace. He went back according to the
way he came from.
It was simply baffling that Aurelia, who had been in the hall earlier, was gone in such a short span of time!
The queen was the only one having tea in the palace. Those robes had already been taken away as if Aurelia had
never come…
