Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 539

"Are you going to sit face to face with Marquis Pearce and look at each other silently?" Harper asked teasingly. Jack had told her about how Matthew sat in Pearce's mansion silently for two hours, thereby putting Pearce under pressure and forcing him to go to the government office to facilitate the release of Alexander. Harper was of the opinion that Pearce might still be angry with Matthew. So, if Matthew were to go to the mansion again, Pearce would expel him out. Therefore, she thought it would be better if she would accompany Alexander to Pearce's mansion.

"I'll take him there tomorrow," she said.

"I'll go with you," Matthew said immediately. He was not going to let his wife, who was feeble and soft-spoken, face the two who had just lost their only son. If the situation went out of control, he knew that Harper might not be able to deal with them.

"We will just pay a visit," said Harper, trying to discourage Matthew.

"He is an irritable man and he is likely to hurt others."

"We are not going there to fight. We just want to apologize to them," Harper argued back.

"He has lost his only son. It would be hard for him to control his emotions, and he's very likely to use violence against you," Matthew said, not giving up.

"He is not an unreasonable man." Harper once again tried to counter him.

"You can't expect him to be reasonable when he has just lost his only son. He will use violence and wouldn't mind to hurt you."

Harper thought that it was simply impossible to stop her husband. If she continued to refuse him, he wouldn't mind doing something way out of the box. So, she simply nodded, "Okay, but remember that we are not going for a fight. You can't conflict with them."

"Okay." Matthew was quick to agree this time.

Early next morning, Harper instructed the maids to prepare some gifts for Pearce and Allie. Then they went to Pearce's mansion. The steward of the mansion was puzzled seeing Harper and Alexander. But when he saw Matthew, who was behind the sister and brother, he immediately swallowed his saliva awkwardly. The sight of Pearce breaking his favorite coral, right after Matthew leaving the mansion yesterday, suddenly came to his mind. The steward wondered why Matthew would come again today.

"Please report to Marquis Pearce that Harper Chu has come to visit him," Harper said with a smile. They hadn't informed Pearce of their visit in advance, so now they had to wait outside the gate of the mansion.

"Please wait for a while," the steward requested as he went inside to inform Pearce.

At the moment, Pearce was in his son's room. While looking at Alban's personal belongings, he couldn't control his grieve and felt a deep sense of loneliness. When he saw the copybook in Alban's handwriting, he couldn't control his outburst.

"My Lord."
