Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 883

Rowan had been a visiting professor in Southeast Aciatic's medical college recently and had not gone to check on Helene.

Despite that, Aurelia did well as his spy in the west palace.

Victoria sometimes stood at a high point of the palace to observe the west palace with a pair of binoculars. She had been under the impression that Helene would go crazy and torture Aurelia occasionally by locking the latter in there. She thought that she could hear Aurelia scream for help or see her being tortured to be less than human.

Everything seemed to go against her imagination.

The west palace was quiet as usual. Victoria could only see that everything in there was in order through the binoculars.

From time to time, Aurelia would appear in the front yard, but she looked rosy and radiant. Besides being a bit thin, she did not look like she had been tormented at all.

Victoria frowned and bit her lips in resentment.

Which part had gone wrong? That woman attacked anyone she saw like a rabid dog. She had even stabbed Aurelia with a fork the last time!

"Your Highness…" Her maid approached her gently.

She was going to serve her cold tea, but Victoria raised a hand and swatted both the tray and cup off to the floor. The shattered glassware was scattered everywhere.

Victoria clenched a fist to punch the palace wall and shouted in rage.

"Your Highness, don't be angry! Watch for your health!"

"Useless! Can't even handle a b*tch!" Victoria vented her fury on the maid. "What's wrong with Helene? Isn't she crazy? Why is she not crazy anymore when the b*tch goes there?"

"Your Highness, softer!" Her maid was scared witless. "That's your aunt. You can't call her by her name! If others hear you, then—"

"Then what? She won't take the throne anyway!"

"What if Mr. Irwin heals her?"

Victoria glared at her maid before feeling that what she said made sense. She went quiet for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Is everything ready at the west palace?"

"The cinnabar, Your Highness?"

"What else!?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. All done," the maid lowered her voice in answering, "The amount sent in is sufficient, and a little in Princess Lene's medicine every day won't be detected."

"Mm, ask them to be careful. Keep the cinnabar hidden, and don't let others see it!"

…

What Victoria did not expect was that Helene did not even take her medicine these few days.

With Aurelia's company, she was happy like a child. She was barely lucid, unable to recall her past and unable to see her future.

However, she knew who was sincere to her. The maids and guards locked her up like they were just looking after a criminal, but Aurelia treated her as an equal. Even in her periods of insanity, Aurelia gave her adequate respect and tolerance.

In the past, she barely had a good meal. Groceries and meal ingredients were sufficient in the west palace, but the maids did not want to cook for a crazy princess. Helene ate whatever they were eating. If she did not like the food, some of the meaner servants would take it away and let her go without eating.

The west palace was like a restricted area cut off from the world. Helene had suffered a lot of grievances like this, but she was unable to speak, which was exactly what the servants took advantage of.

Everything changed after Aurelia came.
