"I just told you that Princess Harper could cure Wendy. If you refuse it, I'll immediately give her a reply." Shawn stood up and
pretended to leave.
"Wait! Come back! I said that we're just worried!" Travis was so infuriated that his beard stiffened.
"What are you worried about? Do we have anything that Prince Matthew wants? Our military power? Can any military in the
world resist the Black Flag Army of three hundred thousand soldiers?" Shawn sarcastically asked.
"Maybe..."
"Wendy?" Father, Wendy cannot even be compared to Princess Harper. If I were Prince Matthew, I wouldn't be interested in any
other woman after marrying her." There was even a hint of ridicule in the smile on Shawn's face.
"Is she that good?" Travis was a little unhappy. Except for her weak physical state, he firmly believed that his daughter was
adequate, if not acceptable enough!
"Can Wendy rescue Prince Matthew when he was on the verge of life and death? Can she save Zack when all of the imperial
physicians said he was incurable? When faced with an assassination, can she try her best to save Caroline? Can she come out
of the Labyrinth Swamp alive?" All of Shawn's questions went unanswered.
"No, you can't make such comparisons. Princess Harper is a physician, but Wendy isn't."
"Father, you're worried that we will owe Princess Harper a huge favor. But what you don't know is that our family already owed
her so many years before. If it weren't for her, I would have been dead already. Do you remember that I once told you that I was
pushed into a lake when I attended a banquet in the Imperial Palace?" Shawn sighed.

"Did she save you?" Travis asked in disbelief.
Shawn nodded eagerly before saying, "I'm very certain about her moral high ground. No matter where she's from or what kind of
person she is, she isn't cruel or vicious. She may be calculating, but she was born in the Chu Clan. Could she survive and safely
grow up without learning how to be manipulative here and there? Father, who in this world is completely innocent? Why do you
have to view her with so much prejudice?" Travis wanted to retort, but Hannah grabbed his arm and shook her head. She knew.

that they really needed to turn to Harper for help. The princess didn't act like she was above them or ask for anything in return.
She just did it for the sake of her friend, Shawn. Anyone else wouldn't even care if Wendy were to die in front of them.
"Shawn, I need you to prepare a generous gift. Tomorrow, let's go to Prince Matthew's mansion to visit Princess Harper. We
should at least thank her for this opportunity of saving Wendy's life," Hannah slowly said. "Yes, Mother. I'm leaving now to
prepare the gift," Shawn said with a respectful bow. "Go ahead." Hannah waved her hand to bid him goodbye. At the same time,
Travis still wanted to say something, but Hannah who noticed it, stopped him. "Travis, don't you understand the situation yet?"
"What do you mean?" Travis asked in confusion.
After a sigh, Hannah responded, "Our son has been single all these years. Apparently, it's not because he doesn't like anyone,
but because the one he loves is in love with someone else. Before Harper married Prince Matthew, she had a tainted reputation
so no one even dared to ask for her hand in marriage. If I had known it back then —"
"Even so, I wouldn't let my son marry such a troublesome woman! Yes, she is capable and talented, but so what? With her
character, no man was able to subdue her except that cold-hearted Prince Matthew. Which family would have accepted her?"
Travis said with conviction, still averse to changing his opinions.
He was a stubborn man, and his wife perfectly knew that there was nothing she could do to change his mind. She said, "Don't

worry. Even if you offer her a lot of money, she won't accept it. She is Prince Matthew's wife, and has a very high position right
now. Your son can't do anything but look up to her!" "What do you mean when you say that? Why do you speak about him as if
he is my son alone and not yours?! What's so good about that woman anyway? A woman should act like one. She should stay at
home to serve her husband and teach her children
well. She's the only woman who appears everywhere outside of her home. She doesn't behave like a woman at all," Travis said,
frustrated and dissatisfied with the topic.
Hannah smiled while she looked at him being so furious. "Yes, you're right. But apparently, Prince Matthew prefers a woman like
her."

Travis was rendered speechless. For a while, he didn't respond to her. "Our daughter can't marry into the prince's mansion. Only
that wild woman Harper can stay there!"
"Have you forgotten that the late emperor tried to force him into getting married to some beautiful women? Do you remember
what happened to those women? Well, well, tomorrow, I will ask Princess Harper and check if she has any intention of doing
something similar. We really can't just sit here and wait for Wendy's illness to consume her. If Princess Harper doesn't have any
malicious intent, let's accept her offer. I don't think she's the kind of person who will threaten or extort us just because she can
help us." Hannah sighed.
"I'm just afraid that Matthew has a lot of evil intentions." They had concluded that the one who Travis was worried about was
Matthew. He looked daunting, cold, and unreasonable. On top of that, he had a reputation for being manipulative. No one could
be in comparison with him. But Harper could walk with him and not be intimidated, so there was no other explanation except that
she was cunning as well. Travis was just afraid that in the future, his two children would be willing to gladly help the couple even
if they got hurt.
"Alas. Why isn't our son as cunning as Zack?" With their current situation, Travis couldn't help but envy Franklin very much.
"Who called him 'Little Fox' a few days ago?" Hannah asked with a smile.
Travis lightly scratched his nose and said, "The Bu Clan indeed has a group of cunning foxes!"
