Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 114

"No, I refuse!" No one had expected Harper to be the first one to refuse outright as soon as Charles finished his words. As per the common perception of Harper, she was a nice person who would agree on almost everything. One thing that Charles had already forgotten was how sensitive Harper was when it came to her biological mother.

In an instant, there was a displeased look on Charles' face. "Harper, behave yourself. Think twice before you speak!"

"No way. I will not allow this," Harper said stubbornly. She turned her head away to avoid looking at Charles.

"Harper, why are you refusing it so strongly? Now that you're taking charge of everything in the mansion, you already own everything. I only want to be registered as the daughter of your mother. Are you so narrow-minded to refuse even such a small favor?" Hailey said in an aggrieved voice. Her eyes turned red as if Harper had bullied her.

Harper pouted, threw herself into the arms of Mavis, and started crying. "Grandma, look at how Father and Hailey are bullying me. There is almost nothing left in my life. My fiance was stolen. I was expelled from the Imperial Academy of Medicine. The only thing I am left with is my identity as the daughter of my mother. But Hailey wants me to give this identity to her as well. Grandma, how could they do this to me? Hailey even alleges me of bullying her. The truth is that it is the other way round. It is Hailey who has been bullying me. She is simply taking advantage of Father's favoritism towards her!"

"Harper, what nonsense are you talking about?" Charles rebuked back. However, at the same time, he found himself unable to refute what Harper said. What wrong did Harper say? She was supposed to marry into Prince Kevin's mansion. But later, Hansen called off their engagement because of Felicia. Even her job as a physician in the Imperial Academy of Medicine was taken away by Hailey. Now, Hailey even wanted to be registered as Kelly's daughter.

"Harper is absolutely right," Mavis said as she patted Harper's back to comfort her. "I won't agree to this, either."

"Grandma, I didn't intend to steal anything from Harper at all. The reason why I made such a proposal is that I often work outside and my status is just too low. In this regard, I think that being Lady Kelly's daughter would be a little helpful. I never mean to steal Harper's identity. Harper will still be Lady Kelly's daughter. That will not make any difference to her!" Hailey worded her side of the story very tactfully. Mavis' words made her worried. She knew that Mavis had a lot of power. If she could not convince Mavis, her request would not be met.

Harper, on the other hand, did not retaliate to Hailey's words. She just buried her head in Mavis' arms, crying sadly. Harper knew that Mavis would not let her put up with it. She should be superior to Charles' children as she was his wife's only daughter. She was supposed to marry Hansen, and used to be the only female imperial physician. But now, she had lost everything except the identity as the only daughter of Charles' wife. But now Hailey even wanted to steal away this identity from her!
