"Grandma asked me to bring you something." Harper held out a small exquisite jewelry box in her hand. "Grandma said that she was supposed to give Felicia a present for her Hair-pinning Ceremony. Moreover, her wedding ceremony with His Highness will be on the agenda after the ceremony."
Sue's face took on a ghastly expression after she heard Harper's words. "I got it. I'll thank Mother later. You can leave now."
"Harper, please help me!" Yvonne pulled the hem of Harper's dress. "Harper, I'm pregnant, and it is His Highness's child, but..."
Harper looked at Kate and Hansen, bowed to them respectfully and said, "I am sorry; I didn't realize that Your Highnesses are present. Please forgive my rudeness."
A hint of shrewdness flashed in Kate's eyes. 'I thought that Harper was a pretty woman but extremely domineering and jealous. That was why I didn't stop Hansen when he wanted to change his bride. But I guess I was wrong, ' she thought.
"Harper, you don't have to be this courteous and formal," Kate held Harper's hand and said. "Harper, long time no see. You look much thinner."
Harper smiled in return. "Your Highness, thank you for your concern. But if my sister Yvonne is telling the truth, please give us a solution," she said respectfully.
"Harper, are you not angry?" Kate asked in surprise
"Your Highness, how could I not be angry? After all, it's about the reputation of our clan." Harper helped Yvonne sit down on a chair and checked her pulse to diagnose her pregnancy. After a couple of seconds, she finally said, "It's been more than a month since you got pregnant. You've got to be extremely careful during the first three months."
"Harper, thank you so much," Yvonne said gratefully.
"Harper, please allow me to explain. She and I..." Hansen started with hesitation. Panic surged through his veins when he saw Harper's cold, merciless face. "Our relationship is not what you think."
Harper scoffed, "Your Highness, she is pregnant. Do you still think that my sister is lying?"
"No, I..."
Unable to contain her anger anymore, Felicia pushed away Sue, pointed at Harper's nose and roared, "Harper, what do you mean?"
Harper's eyes narrowed in anger. "Felicia, you have to watch your mouth and respect me. I know that you like His Highness very much. That was why I agreed without questioning when His Highness proposed to call off the engagement with me, in order to get engaged to you. Have you forgotten all that? Now, His Highness hasn't mentioned about breaking off the engagement or marrying another woman. He's ready to get married to you. Then why are you behaving like this?"
"Felicia!" Sue grabbed Felicia and whispered in her ear, "If you want to be the wife of His Highness, just keep your mouth shut."
