Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 820

“Well…” Alexander shrugged. "I have not, but from what Neil says, she's a talented and gorgeous fairy!"

Cordelia chuckled, amused.

Neil did not like Victoria but liked hanging out with the mild-mannered Alexander. They were similar in age and had spent time together since pre-school, only parting when they went to high school.

Despite that, the geographical distance had not set their hearts apart. No matter what they ran into, they shared it with each other.

Just like this time, Neil had told him about Aurelia's story, and the girl's temporary residence permit was all thanks to Alexander's help.

"I think your cousin's fallen hard this time!" Alexander chuckled. "Aurelia's working for that tailor, and he makes several daily trips there. The owner thinks the demolishment is actually happening!"

"Is Aurelia doing well?" Cordelia had not seen the girl for some time and missed her.

"Don't worry. I'm sure she's doing good with Neil looking out for her."

Cordelia felt the embroidery and beads on the dress and exclaimed, "I like this dress. She's so thoughtful!"

Alexander checked the time and noted that he should take her along to meet the queen.

Both of them headed for the internal palace.

The meeting had just started, and royal family members and nobles could be seen making their way to the hall—except Allegra.

Cordelia could not help recalling the scene in the washroom where Allegra was soaked because of her. To be honest, Allegra was a little pitiful, but those who were pitiful must have a cause for sinking to their lows.

The resilience in Cordelia's character prevented her from being mindlessly sympathetic.

Thinking of this, she looked at Alexander curiously and could not help asking, despite trying to hold herself back, "It's all women who attend today's event, right? Why are you here?"

Alexander paused his steps. Well… how was he supposed to answer her?

He wore an embarrassed smile and gave it a thought before replying, "I looked very much like a girl when I was young. Sometimes, when I went out with Victoria, people mistook us as sisters… It's said that this got to my uncle and aunt, and both thought it was a funny joke. They were very happy, so my aunt gave me special permission to have free access to the internal palace for the Floria Festival event."
