Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 80

Harper froze, staring at Kate in shock. "Your Highness, what have I done to you?" Her bottom lip trembled as she spoke. "Why are you trying to accuse me of something I didn't even do?"

"You dare talk back? You wretched bitch!" Katie threw a letter at her face. "See for yourself. It's the evidence that you asked him out."

The letter fell to the floor, and Harper picked it up. The person who wrote the letter asked Hansen to meet her in the Spring Restaurant. Under the message was her signature, yet she wasn't the one who had written it. Harper looked up calmly. "I didn't write it."

"Of course you didn't!" Kate scoffed. "As cunning as you are, you probably asked someone else to write the letter. You just asked some maid to write for you!" Kate was dead-set on believing that Harper was behind this. No matter what Harper would say or would try to prove, she wouldn't even listen. The humiliation she had gone through after Hansen had called off the engagement, was her motive to seek revenge on her son.

"Your Highness, you have to believe me. I didn't write it, and besides, we've never talked since the incident. Even if I did, he wouldn't trust me enough to agree to meet with me," Harper responded. "There must be something behind this, Your Highness. Please, I don't know what happened, but I assure you I have nothing to do with it. Please find out the truth."

Kate could only sneer in reply. "Do you really think I'll convict you with just that letter? Don't you remember that you've also sent your maid to deliver a letter to our mansion?"

"I didn't send any maid," Harper retorted. "The Chu Clan and your family are at odds with each other because of Yvonne's death. I'm sure you're aware of that. There's absolutely no way I could've done such a thing!"

"No? Would you dare call in your maids?" Kate snapped, tilting her chin high up in the air. After finding the other proof that she needed, she would let Harper pay for what she had done to her son.

"I dare." Harper took a step forward, narrowing her eyes. "What if I'm innocent?"

"I'll apologize to you myself." Kate crossed her arms. It couldn't be anyone else. Besides, Hansen had humiliated her and destroyed her reputation. It was a motive—an anger that couldn't be quenched. However, what she didn't expect was for the bitch to actually go through with the action! If she wasn't convicted now, she would still feel the past holding her back. Her son deserved justice.

"You said it yourself, Your Highness." Harper turned to Mavis. "Grandma, send Nanny Annie over to take all the maids working in my house. Your Highness, in order to avoid any more scuffle, send one of your people to accompany her."

Kate nodded. "Linda, go with her."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Annie and Linda obediently went to Harper's house to bring over the maids. While that was happening, Harper was in the center of the hall with tears welling up in her eyes. People couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
