Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 803

The luxurious jewelry set was polished beautifully, and each detail was well thought out.

That was especially so for the sapphire ring. The precious stone was huge with perfect color. It was a rare item and would be sold at an astronomical price if auctioned. The saying was right: "Who receives a gift, sells their liberty".

If Cordelia accepted such an expensive gift, she might be controlled by Victoria in the future.

"You're too kind, Your Highness," Cordelia closed the box while smiling. "It's my honor that you're willing to be my friend. How could I take something from you?"

"We're friends, so what if I give you a gift?" Victoria looked at her. "It's not expensive anyway. Just take it!"

"You've seen many precious things, so it's natural you don't think it's expensive. To commoners like us, this is a priceless treasure!"

Victoria's smile froze.

She knew that Cordelia was rejecting her, but she did it tactfully. She was indeed the daughter of the sly Rowan Irwin!

Victoria continued to test her. "We're friends, Cordelia!"

Cordelia continued to reject her while smiling. "Because we're friends, we must know the boundary. The saying goes sow nothing, reap nothing. This gift is too expensive. I can't accept it." "Who said you sowed nothing?" Victoria smirked, and a complicated look flashed through her eyes. "You'll soon do a deed of merit!"

Cordelia was stunned. She did not understand what she was trying to say.

The maid placed the peeled lychee in the gold bowl. Victoria ate one after another calmly.

Cordelia sat aside and said nothing.

The sun was slowly setting, pouring its last ray of light onto the land. The temperature should have dropped, but Cordelia felt even warmer now. She was suffocating a little bit from the warmth. After Victoria ate the last lychee, she lifted her eyes to look at Cordelia.

"There's something that I'd like to ask you, Cordelia."

"Do tell, Your Highness."

"Are you... close with your cousin?"

Cordelia came to a realization. 'So, she is doing all this with the objective of asking about Neil.'

"We don't see each other much. I'm married, after all. Although we're cousins, we must keep our distance."

"Do you really not know what he's doing now?"

Cordelia was calm as she shook her head.

Victoria moved her eyes and smiled. "Actually, with his identity and status, it makes sense that he already has a woman!"

"Really?" Cordelia asked. "Do you think that, Your Highness?"

"Is it not?" Victoria asked her back.

Cordelia looked into her eyes. They were manipulative.

She guessed perhaps she already knew that Neil had Aurelia with him.

'So, she set up the afternoon tea today to ask about Aurelia?'

Fortunately, Cordelia insisted on rejecting the jewelry...

Cordelia sat straight with a respectful look, but her smile was cold. "Your Highness, indeed, many women like my cousin, but he's focused on his work. I haven't heard if he likes anyone." "Cordelia, I'm sincere about being friends. Are you really driving me away?"

"I'm sincere about being your friend too, Your Highness," she said flatly. "I really don't know what Neil is doing. If you're impatient, I'll watch him the next two days and write you a letter, okay?" Victoria's eyes gradually turned cold, and she clenched her fists under the table.

If Cordelia really sent her a letter and someone with bad intentions got their hands on it... It was about a man... It was a taboo matter for a princess of the royal family with strict rules... It was impossible that Cordelia did not know that!

Victoria's eyes moved, and her face froze for a second. Subsequently, she revealed a bright smile.
