Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Harper froze, staring at Kate in shock. "Your Highness, what have I done to you?" Her bottom lip

trembled as she spoke. "Why

are you trying to accuse me of something I didn't even do?"

"You dare talk back? You wretched bitch!" Katie threw a letter at her face. "See for yourself. It's the

evidence that you asked him

out."

The letter fell to the floor, and Harper picked it up. The person who wrote the letter asked Hansen to

meet her in the Spring

Restaurant. Under the message was her signature, yet she wasn't the one who had written it. Harper

looked up calmly. "I didn't

write it."

"Of course you didn't!" Kate scoffed. "As cunning as you are, you probably asked someone else to

write the letter. You just asked

some maid to write for you!" Kate was dead-set on believing that Harper was behind this. No matter

what Harper would say or

would try to prove, she wouldn't even listen. The humiliation she had gone through after Hansen had

called off the engagement,

was her motive to seek revenge on her son.

"Your Highness, you have to believe me. I didn't write it, and besides, we've never talked since the

incident. Even if I did, he

wouldn't trust me enough to agree to meet with me," Harper responded. "There must be something

behind this, Your Highness.

Please, I don't know what happened, but I assure you I have nothing to do with it. Please find out the

truth."

Kate could only sneer in reply. "Do you really think I'll convict you with just that letter? Don't you

remember that you've also sent

your maid to deliver a letter to our mansion?"

"I didn't send any maid," Harper retorted. "The Chu Clan and your family are at odds with each other

because of Yvonne's death.

I'm sure you're aware of that. There's absolutely no way I could've done such a thing!" "No? Would you

dare call in your maids?" Kate snapped, tilting her chin high up in the air. After finding the other proof

that she needed, she would let Harper pay for what she had done to her son. "I dare." Harper took a

step forward, narrowing her eyes. "What if I'm innocent?" "I'll apologize to you myself." Kate crossed

her arms. It couldn't be anyone else. Besides, Hansen had humiliated her and destroyed her

reputation. It was a motive—an anger that couldn't be quenched. However, what she didn't expect was

for the bitch to actually go through with the action! If she wasn't convicted now, she would still feel the

past holding her back. Her son deserved justice.

"You said it yourself, Your Highness." Harper turned to Mavis. "Grandma, send Nanny Annie over to

take all the maids working in my house. Your Highness, in order to avoid any more scuffle, send one of

your people to accompany her." Kate nodded. "Linda, go with her." "Yes, Your Highness." Annie and

Linda obediently went to Harper's house to bring over the maids. While that was happening, Harper

was in the center

of the hall with tears welling up in her eyes. People couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Before long, they had already returned with seven maids in tow. As Kate saw them, she furrowed her

eyebrows. "These are all

the maids?"

"Yes, Your Highness. We've brought them all here," Linda replied with a long face.

"Harper Chu, are you lying to me? As the daughter of Prime Minister's first wife, you should have at

least ten servants. And all

you have are seven?" Kate frowned, glancing at each and every one of them.

Harper gritted her teeth as her hands balled into fists. "Everyone in my clan knows that I only had four

maids. Grandma doted on me, so she sent me another three. What you see now are all my maids."

Upon hearing this, Kate turned to look at Charles in surprise. The latter looked embarrassed. Mavis

knew the total number of servants in the Chu Clan and how many maids Harper had clearly. "It's true,"

said Mavis. Sue had finally come out of unconsciousness. When she saw Kate standing over the

maids, she reached out to lunge at her. But she was held back by Ruby.

Kate glanced at each and every one of them. They looked decent, at least. She turned to the

manservant at her side. "Go on.

Look for the one who delivered the letter to Hansen!"

The manservant stepped forward and looked at all their faces. After a few minutes, he stopped and

shook his head. "She isn't

here, Your Highness."

"What do you mean she isn't here? Look again!" Kate ordered, not believing what he had just said.

"I've checked them all, Your Highness. The girl who delivered the letter has a mole on the corner of her

mouth, plus she is

shorter than the others," the manservant answered decisively. "No. She is not one of them."

When Felicia heard the description of the maid, she buried her face deeper into Sue's arms so no one

could see her frightened

expression. At that moment, all she wanted was for Kate to leave. If she found out that it was her maid

who had sent the letter,

hell would break lose.

Sue didn't know what was happening around her until Ruby told her a more general story of what was

going on. She frowned. It

wasn't a good idea for Harper to keep getting herself involved in these things.

Harper tilted her head. "Since your target isn't one of my maids, why don't you try checking out Felicia's

as well?"

"Hasn't your sister suffered enough? You want to accuse her of this as well?" Sue sneered. Though

she was angry at Felicia for

fooling around with a man in public, Felicia was still her daughter, and she adored her.

"Mother, I only asked for Felicia's maids to prove her innocence. If she didn't do it, then it must be done

by an imposter!" Harper

insisted. "Besides, it was Felicia who got involved in the first place and met with His Highness. It would

be reasonable to check

her maids."
