Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 817

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 Victoria 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.
