Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 861

It never occurred to Toby that Rolando leaving the palace with a woman and without any guards would be a lure for him to show himself and reveal his plans. He thought that as long as he followed Rolando out, he would definitely be captured by Miguel. It was already too late when he realized what Rolando was aiming for.

"You dirty rat!" he shouted at Miguel with an angry face.

"Shut up! You can never blame others for your own incompetence!" Miguel hissed. He then turned to the guards and ordered, "Arrest him and lock him up!"

The guards quickly advanced towards Toby to apprehend him but he was ready to defend himself. Unfortunately, even though he tried his best to hold them off, he was no match for the guards in terms of martial arts. Soon, they were able to chain him and then threw him into a tight cage in a carriage, which drove off and disappeared into the darkness.

When Toby met Rolando again, he was in the jail. Rolando stood outside the cell in his magnificent white emperor clothes, which made him stand out in the dark hallway.

"Rolando, you are a despicable man!" Toby cursed with resentment at the sight of him.

Rolando, however, wore a smile on his angelic face. "You're a prisoner now but you still dare talk so arrogantly. That's really impressive," he said quietly as he stared down on his brother.

His words irritated Toby more. He grabbed the rail of the cell and roared, "Now I understand everything! You won't never risk your life for a woman! It turned out that you actually took advantage of her in order to lure me out! What do you think she'll do if she finds out what you did? I bet she'd hate you until you die!" There was a hint of threat and madness in his voice.

Despite Toby's threats, Rolando's smile never left his lips. "Well, I'm afraid that is why you are no match for me."

"What do you mean by that?" Toby asked, confused.

"I know what kind of person Harper is well enough. She is incredibly smart, so I doubt that she still doesn't know my true intentions. Also, I really intended to take her out to see amazing spots around here. I just used that opportunity to deal with you," Rolando replied patiently. His voice was gentle and his tone playful. "And even though she knows that I have taken advantage of her, I doubt that she'll get angry at me."

"Oh, come on, Rolando. Aren't you being too confident that she's not furious at you right now?" Toby questioned.

"She would only blame me for risking my life," Rolando said, his eyes becoming soft and tender. "She always treats people like that. Once she sees you as her friend, she will treat you as one forever, and she will make sure that you never feel alone."
