Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 741

"Well, Francis, let me ask you this. What do you like about Harper? We both know she's cruel and horrendous," Diana curiously asked. No matter how hard she tried to think about it, she just couldn't figure out why Francis fell in love with such an insidious, cunning, manipulative, and cruel woman. She couldn't even think of one redeeming quality for Harper.

Instead of directly answering her question, he asked in reply, "What? Do you think you're even in comparison with her?" In Francis' perspective, even if Harper was vicious, she was very kind to other people as long as they treated her the same way. It was true that she was cunning, but she had never made the first move to purposely hurt others. She was cruel to her enemies which was a principle that no one could blame her for. Being merciful to one's enemies only meant that one did not have much regard for themselves. They might either have self-esteem issues or they didn't have concrete boundaries for themselves. In this respect, Francis didn't think that Harper was in the wrong. The only thing he hated about her was that she had been too kind to him. But when he fell in love with her, she ruthlessly left him without as much of a little hesitation.

His question made Diana enraged. She grew furious not because Francis did not deny that Harper was a cruel woman, but because they were both vicious for him. And despite that, he still favored Harper over her. As a matter of fact, Diana was more ruthless than Harper in many respects. The most essential distinction between them was that Diana would kill someone no matter if they were her enemies or not. She would randomly kill someone when she was in a bad mood. She didn't need to have an acceptable reason. But Harper would never do that. With this in consideration, if Harper was not worthy of Francis, Diana was even more unworthy.

"Let's go. We need to entertain our guest," Francis gently said. He decided not to continue their conversion because he knew it would turn into an argument and he also did not like other people questioning his personal life.

That day, Francis and Becky had agreed to meet in the courtyard. The instant she saw Francis, Becky immediately became delighted. Her eyes were full of affection. Francis, on the other hand, had the same expression he had all day. He politely invited her to take a seat. The way he behaved was still so elegant and composed, just like the time when he was still the prince who was respected by the officials.

"Thank you for your help while we were in the imperial capital of the Bright Dynasty. Without you, I couldn't have escaped from there," Francis said. His voice was as gentle and charming as the birds singing on the trees.

Becky was a little shy. She smiled in a very subtle way before saying, "It's not a big deal, Your Highness. How have you been? I heard that you were badly hurt at that time."

"I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern," Francis replied with a smile on his face. In front of Becky, he behaved in a very kind way, as if to show that he respected her very much. It was thrilling for Becky but she didn't show it that much on the outside.

"Hi, Becky. There you are. Please forgive me for being late in greeting you here. I've heard from my husband that if you hadn't saved him, he would have been killed by that disgusting woman," Diana said while she leisurely approached them.

A hint of disgust flashed across Becky's eyes when she heard Diana mention Harper. She was already well aware of how hateful that woman was in person. If it were not for the fact that she was no match for either Matthew or Harper, she would have taught Harper a lesson some time ago.
