Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Carmella’s face changed, and her eyebrows furrowed.

“What do you want to say?”

Joy gathered her courage. This was her last attempt to test Carmella. She had been with Carmella since she was 18

years old. It was difficult to sever the many years of bond.

Despite her loyalty to Carmella, the latter did not have the same deep feelings for her.

“Your Majesty…” Joy said in a low voice, “It’s about my son’s schooling.”

Carmella’s expression was a little impatient. “Didn’t I already arrange it for you?”

“Your Majesty!” Joy looked up at her. “That school is not good! The students fight, and the teachers don’t do their

job. The whole school is a mess, and one can’t learn anything there!”

“But that school is the only one that doesn’t require a birth registration,” Carmella emphasized. “Joy, your son’s

illegitimate. You can’t even resolve his birth registration issue, so how can he attend a public school?”

Joy was stunned. She looked at Carmella’s slightly disdainful expression and suddenly felt that her decades of

loyalty seemed like a complete joke.

Birth registration issue?

As a maid by the queen’s side, who would believe it if she said that she could not even solve her child’s birth

registration issue?

This was something that Carmella could solve with just a few words. The process would not even take five minutes.

Yet, Carmella just would not do it.

Perhaps Joy’s significance in Carmella’s heart was not enough to make Carmella speak up for her.

Joy remembered when she was in Melorian and asked Cordelia the same question.

“My son’s illegitimate and has no birth registration, so he can’t attend a good public school. But the cost of a private

school is too expensive, and I can’t afford it.”

Cordelia’s answer was: “Don’t worry. I’ll get it done for you.”

Joy thought she was just saying it for the sake of it, but she received a call from the principal of the best public

school in Southeast Aciatic three days later.

…

“Why are you in a daze?” Carmella’s stern voice brought Joy back to reality.

She smiled and lowered her head to cover up her slightly red eyes.

“Joy, I know you’re not very satisfied with my approach.” Carmella looked at her with superiority. “But this is the

best I can do.

“You’re only a servant. How could I plead to a school principal for you? And your child’s illegitimate. It’s shameful, to

begin with!”

“Your Majesty!” Joy’s voice trembled. “What about illegitimate birth? Don’t they… deserve to live in this world or

have a good education?”

“Illegitimate children only bring disgust and become a stumbling block for others!” Once Carmella thought of

Aurelia’s existence, she could not help but lose control.

“Alright, this is the end of the matter! You better not do anything in my name. If I find out, you will suffer, and your

son will taste the same medicine too!”

Joy felt her heart go cold and chills run down her hands and feet. She had done a lot of things for Carmella before.

She thought it was loyalty, but in reality, it was an abomination… She sneered. Her last attempt at probing Carmella

had failed, and it was time for her to make a choice that was worthy of her conscience.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Joy bowed respectfully. “I understand.”

Carmella glanced at her and sneered. This maid of hers had been serving her for more than 20 years, cautious and

submissive, always careful and meek. This was the reason her father had chosen Joy to serve her—no matter how

she bullied her, she would never resist!

“Alright, you may leave now.” Carmella closed her eyes. “Pay attention to the whereabouts of those two people,

and don’t let any information leak!”

“Yes.” Joy quietly left the room.

The moon was frosty as ever. She could not help but shiver even on this summer night.

“Joy, why did you take so long in there?”

Joy heard Suzanne’s voice from behind her. She forced a smile, dejection lacing her gaze.

Suzanne had been with her for a long time and could tell from a single glance what was weighing on her mind.

“You’re stressing over your son again?”

“No.” Joy shook her head. “Things have been taken care of. He’ll soon be transferred to the best public elementary

school.”

“The best public elementary school?” Suzanne exclaimed excitedly. “The best in Southeast Aciatic, huh? Heh, Her

Majesty’s finally come around and is willing to help you?”

“Not Her Majesty.” Joy looked at her and hesitated for a long time before saying, “It’s the Irwin heiress.”

There was a spark in Suzanne’s eyes. The two of them looked at each other and tacitly lowered their heads.

“So, we both made the same choice?” Suzanne smiled wryly. “Sigh, who would’ve thought that the person we’ve

been serving loyally for so many years would be no match to an outsider…

“Joy, I know that the Irwin heiress is actually buying us off with her offer, but I’m willing to be bought off by her. At

least my brother’s illness can be cured! Besides, what Her Majesty and Princess Victoria are doing is… really

horrible!”

“Shh, keep your voice down!” Joy reminded her urgently.

Some things were better left unsaid, and some things were best done quietly.

“I’ve decided to tell the truth at the trial.” Suzanne looked into Joy’s eyes. “What about you, Joy?”

“Do you think I’ll let my son go back to that environment where all they do is fight?”

They smiled at each other and looked up at the night sky and the moonlight. The moon was bright, but there were

still shadows that it could not reach. One could not live in the dark forever, could they?

…

When Alexander appeared in the west palace again, the guards at the door were curious about the tall and strong-

looking maid beside him. It was mainly because the maid was too eye-catching. The prince was always low profile,

and with someone like this around him now, it felt…

Neil only removed his pink wig when they went to the garden at the back and glared at Alexander. Before he could

blow up, Alexander pulled Aurelia over as his shield.

“Uh, Aurelia, I have something to tell you coming here today!”

Aurelia’s face was red from holding back her laugh. It took a long time before she could ask, “What is it?”

“It’s about the court trial,” Alexander said softly. “Mr. Irwin will be tried next month. You’ll receive a court summon

as a witness.”
