"As for Aurelia Chilton…" Carmella looked at Victoria in annoyance.
She honestly had yet to figure out what to do with Aurelia.
For the time being, it looked like she was who Neil cared about. Based on how Noah doted on Neil, in addition to Noah not having a preference for status and family background, it was highly possible that he would allow Neil to marry Aurelia.
Instead of letting Victoria throw her tantrum and kick up a fuss, offending the Harrises, she might as well be of help and use Aurelia to gain the Harrises' support.
Her ultimate goal was to keep the reign for Martin anyway.
Carmella loved Martin. As long as it was beneficial to him, she did not care about the price she had to pay. Whether it was the Irwins or the Harrises, they would be sources of strength Martin could use if she managed to pull them to her side.
She would resort to any measure to eliminate anyone who dared stop her!
"Auntie…" Victoria looked at her cautiously. "What will you do about Aurelia?"
Carmella's face fell. "We'll talk about it later!"
"Victoria…" She reminded her again before they left the side hall, "You'd better know your place and behave. I might still be able to keep you."
"Auntie?" Victoria jolted.
"I know what Alexander's like." Carmella sighed. "Society won't tolerate a ruler like this. He might as well stay a prince this life. With the title and wealth, he'll have a great life."
Victoria perked up in glee when she heard that.
"Don't be so happy too soon!" Carmella threw her a frosty glance. "If you dare do anything that threatens your uncle's position, I won't let you go easily!"
She left the side hall after that.
Victoria wore a vicious smirk looking at Carmella's back.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Her maid walked in looking anxious. "Did the queen make it difficult for you?"
"Of course not." Victoria scoffed. "And she said that Alexander won't ever be king. The throne will certainly be mine!"
Her servant was delighted and congratulated her profusely.
