Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 803

The luxurious jewelry set was polished beautifully, and each detail was well thought out.

That was especially so for the sapphire ring. The precious stone was huge with perfect color. It was a rare item and would be sold at an astronomical price if auctioned.

The saying was right: "Who receives a gift, sells their liberty".

If Cordelia accepted such an expensive gift, she might be controlled by Victoria in the future.

"You're too kind, Your Highness," Cordelia closed the box while smiling. "It's my honor that you're willing to be my friend. How could I take something from you?"

"We're friends, so what if I give you a gift?" Victoria looked at her. "It's not expensive anyway. Just take it!"

"You've seen many precious things, so it's natural you don't think it's expensive. To commoners like us, this is a priceless treasure!"

Victoria's smile froze.

She knew that Cordelia was rejecting her, but she did it tactfully. She was indeed the daughter of the sly Rowan Irwin!

Victoria continued to test her. "We're friends, Cordelia!"

Cordelia continued to reject her while smiling. "Because we're friends, we must know the boundary. The saying goes sow nothing, reap nothing. This gift is too expensive. I can't accept it."

"Who said you sowed nothing?" Victoria smirked, and a complicated look flashed through her eyes. "You'll soon do a deed of merit!"

Cordelia was stunned. She did not understand what she was trying to say.

The maid placed the peeled lychee in the gold bowl. Victoria ate one after another calmly.

Cordelia sat aside and said nothing.

The sun was slowly setting, pouring its last ray of light onto the land. The temperature should have dropped, but Cordelia felt even warmer now. She was suffocating a little bit from the warmth.

After Victoria ate the last lychee, she lifted her eyes to look at Cordelia.

"There's something that I'd like to ask you, Cordelia."

"Do tell, Your Highness."
