Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 872

Aurelia bit her lips, her beautiful amber eyes filled with resolution.

"Ms. Aurelia, have you made up your mind?"

Carmella was confident.

The sum of money in the envelope was enough for her to live a good life for quite some time, and a Southeast Aciatic passport was the dream of many. The girl would have both of these. What was there for her to say no to?

It thus surprised Carmella that Aurelia scoffed. Her unaffected gaze was slightly disdainful. "Do you think I see uncle as a transaction tool like you all?"

Carmella knitted her brows in alarm. "What did you say?"

Aurelia picked up the envelope and uttered each word seriously, "As long as I agree to your conditions, I'll receive money and official Southeast Aciatic citizenship! You're right. I need both of these. But I'll work for what I need. I won't exchange Neil for them!"

"You…"

"Your Majesty, pardon my impoliteness." Aurelia bowed and looked up straight into her eyes. "But I want to tell you that you won't be able to stop me!

"Cordelia told me that I should fight for it boldly if I love someone! She and Mr. Z were like that." Aurelia's voice was shaky. "She didn't know that she was the Irwin heiress back then and thought that she had a lowly background and wasn't worthy of Mr. Z, but she worked hard and kept improving!

"So, I won't accept your offer, Your Majesty!" Aurelia slapped the envelope on the table. "I won't use Neil in exchange for anything!"

It felt like all of Aurelia's strength was sucked out of her after she spoke. Her hands and feet ran cold, and her knees buckled. If there was no table in front of her as support, she absolutely would have fallen to her knees.

"Still, go back and keep an eye out!" Neil panicked. He was probably elated by the video just now that he was beyond himself, not even regarding Alexander's royal status as he threatened the prince, "I'll deploy the army to the palace tonight if you don't go back there right now!"

"You're getting ridiculous!"

"Just go!"

Alexander rolled his eyes at him and hung up on the video call.

There was some distance between him at the royal garden and Carmella's palace. He went back according to the way he came from.

It was simply baffling that Aurelia, who had been in the hall earlier, was gone in such a short span of time!

The queen was the only one having tea in the palace. Those robes had already been taken away as if Aurelia had never come…
