Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 79

"That bitch! That bitch! Where did she get the nerve to do that?!" Mavis went in a fit of anger, causing her to have a headache due to how furious she was. Charles was also very annoyed. However, something even more humiliating was still yet to come to them.

"What I never would've expected was that it was actually Felicia who was fooling around with Hansen and accidentally fell down the stairs without any clothes on!" Harper added.

"What?" That was the final nail in the coffin. When Charles heard this, the color had been flushed out of his face at once. And even Mavis' face became sullen as well.

When she was finally done talking, Harper lowered her head and continued to weep uncontrollably. "Mother...Mother also noticed it was Felicia. I'm sure of it! But she called out my name for everyone to hear! When I came over to tell her that it wasn't me, she repeatedly asked me why it was not me over and over again! I don't understand, Father, Grandma. What did I do to make Mother despise me so much? Why did Mother want to ruin my reputation like that? How could she be so cruel and heartless?"

"How dare she do that to my granddaughter!" Mavis cursed while giving Charles black looks. She didn't say anything else after that, but she was, without a doubt, very dissatisfied with Sue's actions. Now having to face the chaos himself, Charles was also about to blow a gasket. When thoughts of Felicia's shameless behavior filled his head, he couldn't help himself from blaming Sue for everything that happened.

While they were in the middle of trying to wrap their heads around what happened, the steward came running toward them while panicking. "My Lord, My Lady, something terrible happened. Lady Sue..."

"Where is she?" Charles asked, still feeling furious.

"Lady Sue fainted in the front hall, and Lady Felicia... Lady Felicia..." Before the steward could even finish talking, Charles quickly got on his feet and hurriedly went to the front hall. Mavis also stood up and headed over to the front hall with Annie. Harper followed Mavis close behind as well.

When they finally arrived at the Chu Clan mansion, Sue couldn't help but feel horrified at the thought of how her husband and her mother-in-law would punish Felicia for what happened. She was so overcome with grief that she couldn't keep it together any longer and blacked out. Felicia was almost naked and had nothing to cover herself with. There were obvious indecent marks all over her body. Annie could not bear to see such a terrible scene playing out in front of her. So, she immediately took off her own coat to cover Felicia's body and wrapped her bleeding head in bandage.

Charles was still fuming with rage right now. But when he saw Sue lying motionless on the floor and Felicia looking at him with such fragile eyes, helpless and so frail, it broke his heart completely. Still, he couldn't help but blame Felicia for not cherishing her body and reputation.

"My Lord, please make sure whoever did this to Lady Felicia pays for it!" Ruby bawled and cried out as she knelt on the floor, holding the unconscious Sue in her arms. "You've been looking after Lady Felicia from the moment she was born. Don't you know her well? She's not the type to do something like that! Someone must have framed Lady Felicia!"

When Charles heard that statement, Harper was the first person he suspected of doing this. In his eyes, Harper was always the one who would cause trouble. So, he came to the conclusion that it was probably Harper who had caused such a scandal!

"Yes, she is right, Father. You must find out the truth to prove that Felicia and I are innocent!" Harper stubbornly chimed in. "Those people couldn't clearly see who was inside the room. Yet they still assumed it was me. Someone must have planned everything, making them think it was me!"

"Father..." Felicia cried out. At that moment, she wanted to tell him that it was Harper who plotted against her, but even she herself couldn't figure out how it all happened. What if it would only end up putting her in a worse situation if she asked her father to investigate it thoroughly?
