"But it looks exactly the same as the record..."
"I said it's not. Then, it's not!" Victoria snapped in a tough tone. Then she turned to the couple on the roof and said, "Your Highnesses, you are so arrogant. You have broken into our house rudely. We'll not let you off easily. You'd better let go of Douglas and Felton."
After putting away the last needle and putting on clothes for Felton, Harper stood up with Matthew, looked down at the all the people below and said sternly,
"That year, you must have betrayed the Qin Clan in the imperial capital. Otherwise, you couldn't have lived till now." Her sudden words shocked everyone on the spot. "You are all traitors!"
"No!" Victoria denied agitatedly. "We didn't."
"The top ten elders of the Qin Clan are here, which is the best proof," Harper said slowly as she pointed at the top ten elders. "The top ten elders were not allowed to give up their master to protect a mistress living outside our mansion, so it meant that they also betrayed their master."
"Nonsense!" the chief elder retorted. "We didn't betray the Qin Clan."
"Then how are you going to explain why you attacked me, a legitimate granddaughter of Qin Clan's master?" Harper questioned grimly. "Do you think the concubine's son can replace the wife's child as the master of the Qin Clan just because the wife doesn't have a son?"
The chief elder was choked. "Your Highness, I attacked you because I thought there was an enemy invasion. I didn't know it was you."
Harper smiled indifferently and said, "If so, I can get out of here now, right?"
"Of course," the chief elder said subconsciously, but he felt something was wrong as soon as he finished his words. How could he say that Harper could leave? It was a great chance, a chance to keep her, but they couldn't take action rashly, because the two young masters of the Qin Clan were both in her hands now.
They had thought Felton was not important to Harper, and she would hesitate in her attacks against them at most if they held Felton as the hostage. However, they were wrong. Felton meant so much to her that she even risked her life to break into the foothold of Qin Clan for him.
"In that case, I'm leaving now," Harper said with a grin. Matthew lifted up Douglas and sat on Patrick's back. Patrick moved as fast as lightning and disappeared in front of everyone.
