Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 587

Hailey looked at the face of the man who caught her. At that moment, she almost couldn't believe her eyes. With her voice trembling, she mumbled, "Howard! It's you!"

Howard quickly grabbed Hailey's hand and pushed it aside. As a result, Hailey lost balance and fell to the ground in an extremely awkward fashion. This caused her cloak to slip off, revealing her scarred neck, which looked so hideous.

"Howard, what on earth do you think you are doing?" Hailey protested at once, giving him a cold glare. At that moment, every fiber of her being was trembling in anger. "Do you have any idea what you are doing right now? You are protecting your enemy!"

"I can't let you hurt her," Howard answered in a cold voice, without the slightest hint of hesitation on his face. Even though the person he just threw out was his biological sister, he didn't feel sorry for hurting her.

"Have you forgotten who started all of this and brought us into this miserable situation? Why do you still want to protect that bitch?" Hailey cried out in anger. Hearing Howard's response came as a great shock to her. Deep in her heart, she thought that he would be on her side and that he hated Harper more than her, so he was probably more eager to kill her. But the truth happened to be the exact opposite, as he actually saved Harper.

With her arms crossed in front of her chest, Harper quietly watched as the two siblings argued, looking as though she was interested in such a farce. "It seems to me that the person who behaved like me at the royal banquet had been taught by none other than you," she firmly said.

"Humph! So what? Do you seriously believe that you can still go back? Harper, let me tell you something. There's no way I'm letting you go that easily now that you've finally come here!" Hailey suddenly blurted out as if she recalled something.

"Well, it seems that we are thinking the same thing," Harper said, pushing Howard aside as she stepped forward. At that moment, every move she made was so elegant and graceful. "I also wasn't planning to let you go that easily today, even if he tries to stop me."

"Do you honestly think you can stop me all by yourself?" Hailey asked, curling her lips as she got up from the ground. After leaving the Chu Clan, she had never been idle at all. From the very start, she had been thinking of ways to make Harper's life a living hell. Thus, she trained so hard to improve her strength and fighting ability. In her mind, she thought that Harper had simply been living her life in luxury, so she wouldn't be capable of resisting her. For that reason, Hailey firmly believed that as long as Howard wouldn't lend her a hand, she would definitely be able to kill Harper with ease.

"Yes, I'm perfectly capable of doing that," Harper flatly answered. Then, she said to Howard, "You stay out of this. This is about the grudge between us. We need to settle this matter by ourselves."

Hearing this, Howard couldn't help but frown. "If something bad happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to him?" Cold as a snake, he was only thinking about himself. Harper likened him to a viper. There was no better way of describing him.

"You don't have to tell him anything. Don't forget this. I am not just some weak woman," Harper said. Moving forward step by step, she was brimming with elegance. However, the more she acted this way, the more furious Hailey became.

"Bitch, you should go to hell!" Hailey screamed her lungs out as she went straight for one of Harper's vital parts. But just as she was about to reach her hand out, a rattan suddenly flew in from the window, binding her wrist. This caught Hailey off guard, leaving her stunned for a second. But she managed to pull herself together right away, waving the dagger onto her other hand to try to free herself from the rattan. To her dismay, another rattan flew in, binding her other arm as well.
