Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 870

Aurelia took a deep breath to look as calm as she could and forced a smile.

Carmella was distracted for a split second. For some reason, she suddenly recalled her first meeting with Helene.

They were similar in age and often attended various events with their elders. She was the standard young lady, while Helene seemed a little rebellious for the royal family, always doing something shocking.

Each time she did those baffling deeds, the teachers in the palace would execute their authority to teach disobedient ones with a cane.

Helene was often punished, and before she was hit, she would be so nervous that her shoulders would shake involuntarily every time.

Carmella felt her brain go numb. She looked at Aurelia again and saw her long chestnut hair. She could not help the chills that ran down her spine as she shuddered.

How could it be?

She forced herself to calm down. This must just be a coincidence.

Carmella straightened up and coughed before smiling at Aurelia. "Ms. Aurelia, you don't have to be nervous. You're summoned today because I heard that you're a skilled seamstress. I've seen the dress you've custom-made for the Irwin heiress, and it was gorgeous on her. The patterns and design on it stand superior to the embroidery artists in the palace."

"Y-Your Majesty, you've flattered me," Aurelia stammered to say.

She ducked her head down with flitting eyes as sweat drenched her palms.

After she was "invited" to meet the queen today, not only was there a cumbersome protocol, but her phone had also been taken away according to the royal family's rules. She could not even contact the outside world.

"I have a few pieces of clothing here. The embroidery on them isn't looking great anymore, so I hope you can restore them for me."

Carmella smiled and added, "I'll pay you ten times the price."

Aurelia composed herself and looked up at her.

The queen was elegant and maintained herself so well that she did not look one bit like a woman in her 40s. She also kept up a smile when she spoke to her, her demeanor graceful and open. That demeanor could not be easily faked.
