Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 830

'Shorten it?' Aurelia was at a loss.

Neil went closer to her, his tone probing. "Didn't I tell you that the queen likes the clothes you made? If you get the chance to become an embroidery artist in the palace, you'll get citizenship very soon, and you can make more money.

"Would you want a chance like that?"

Aurelia felt like this was a stroke of luck hitting her right in the face.

However, in her 18 years of life that was neither too long nor too short, according to her experience gained from her hard days, the better something sounded, the more dangerous a trap it was.

The queen must have met so many talented people. Why would she insist that an unknown person like her go into the palace as an embroidery artist?

Moreover, the palace was not a fun place to be. She did not have to be there to know it. Even when she did not know what the royal family was like, she had watched dramas. Those were people who looked calm and unfazed, but the struggle for power was overwhelming.

Aurelia could adapt to a complicated environment, but that did not mean she liked it!

Compared to the glorious and grand yet unpredictable place, she would rather stay 15 years in this small tailor shop.

She frowned and naturally thought of the princess who had come for Neil in the morning… It must be the woman's idea to ask her into the palace! What did she want!?

No matter what she wanted, she would not be able to do a thing if Aurelia stayed away from her.

Aurelia calmly ate a spoonful of jelly, swallowed it, and firmly shook her head.

"I don't want it."

Neil was elated by the answer!

His heart had been lodged in his throat just now, scared that the girl would be careless, daring to risk anything in order to get her citizenship. He would definitely stop her if she really agreed to go to the palace!

What kind of thoughts could Victoria have? After Neil calmed down and thought about her provocation, the more he considered it, the worse it felt.

To be cautious, he disagreed about Aurelia going to the palace. Even after he analyzed the pros and cons, though, he could not guarantee that Victoria would not come to Aurelia personally. Thus, he had to test the girl first.

It was a pleasant surprise that the girl was much smarter than he had given her credit for!

Neil smiled. He was reassured. Aurelia was clever and thought through everything. She would not let herself suffer a loss.

"Oh." He kept a straight face and asked her softly, "Why not?"

"I just think… good things usually don't come to me," Aurelia answered truthfully. "My neighbor, the old nomad lady, used to say that the faster you run, the more painful it will be when you fall. It's best to take things step by step."

"Mm, very well!" Neil could hardly conceal his joy. "This is the answer I wanted!"

"What?"

"I'm telling you, no matter who comes to you in the future asking you to go to the palace and stuff, don't listen to them!

"The conclusion is basically this!" Neil slammed the table and towered over Aurelia. "You must not go to the palace!

"Understand?"

Aurelia looked at his eyes, seeing her reflection in them. Her cheeks grew warm again.

"Uh, yes…" she answered softly.

"Mm, good!" Neil was happy and rubbed her head.
