She had trouble accepting the fact that Matthew was gay. At that moment, she didn't even know whether she should laugh or cry. Deep inside, she wanted to laugh because it seemed that Matthew didn't truly love Harper after all. Harper was probably nothing but a pawn who had to pretend that she was in love with Matthew. Due to what she just saw, the fake Harper began to think that the stories of romance between Matthew and Harper weren't even true, and Harper only needed to act like a prince's wife in front of everyone. But other than that, she also wanted to cry because she just found out that Matthew was gay.
"Matthew, you..." the imposter mumbled, clearly at a loss for words.
"Matthew, your wife seems to be very upset. Could it be that she has actually fallen in love with you?" said the man in Matthew's arms. The man then turned his head to look at the fake Harper, and it was only at this point that she finally saw his face. She resented the man who had gained Matthew's affection. That being said, as much as she hated to admit it, the man had a rather pretty face. As a man, he looked very charming and pretty. Even though she had only seen his face for a few seconds, she thought that he was so attractive that she had difficulty getting a hold of herself.
"You are the only one I love. You should know that," Matthew flatly replied, kissing him on the lips.
"I know that, but I'd prefer not to have people watching us like this," said the man.
Hearing their conversation, the imposter felt a tinge of bitterness in her throat. "Shame on you!" she yelled out.
This made Matthew's eyes darken. At that moment, he was shooting the imposter quite an intense glare, which frightened her so much that she had to take a step back. However, she managed to force herself to be strong after taking a few steps backward.
"Matthew, are you really going to do this to me?" the fake Harper asked, looking so appointed. Even for her, Matthew having no feelings for Harper was very hard to believe. "Was the love you had for me nothing but a lie?"
This question caused Matthew's face to turn livid, as though he could actually kill someone at any time. In spite of that, the imposter seemed to be completely oblivious of the fact that she had already pissed Matthew off. Taking a step forward, she added, "Matthew, I love you so much. Are you really going to leave me for this filthy... Ah!"
Before she could even finish what she was trying to say, a punch sent her flying out of the door. She fell to the ground outside the room and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you insult the one I love?" Matthew asked in a cold voice.
The fake Harper had been left completely stunned when she heard him say that. She immediately got up and said, "Am I not someone you love as well? I'm your wife after all. Why? Why would you rather be with a man than me?"
The real Harper, lying in the arms of Matthew, held her chin and had her gaze fixated on the woman who was fuming with anger. Suddenly, she realized who the imposter truly was.
"You? My wife?" Matthew said, sounding so furious. As he stared blankly at the imposter, he continued, "How dare you call yourself my wife! You do not even qualify to hold my wife's shoes. I am only allowing you to stay in my mansion because you're still useful for me for a certain reason."
The imposter was taken aback. She stumbled over her words, "You... What did you say?"
Hearing this, the imposter mistakenly thought that she had just discovered something that Matthew might want from her. Under that assumption, she took a step forward and resolutely said, "Yes. I want to have sex with you."
"What?" the real Harper chimed in before Matthew could give her a response. Pointing at herself, she said, "No way. I don't even like you."
Although the fake Harper was very irritated at that moment, she choked up her anger and said, "Well, the feeling is mutual. I do not like you either. You're not really my type." Then she turned to Matthew and added, "Matthew, you're the one I want. Please take me and make me your wife!"
As soon as Matthew heard this, his eyes were filled with so much killing intent. "You do not deserve to be my wife. But since you seem to be raring to have sex right now, I'll satisfy your desire. Fred, send this woman to the military camp and make her a military prostitute!"
"Please don't do that. I haven't had enough fun yet." The real Harper stopped him right away, gently rubbing her hands against his chest.
"I can't stand the fact that someone who's pretending to be you is saying something so outrageous in front of me. Fred, I want you to tear off her mask and send her to the military camp to serve as a prostitute. If she ever gets away this time, I'll kill the one responsible for it myself!" Matthew exclaimed.
