Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 952

After she came back from Darren's room, Harper's desire to create the antidote became fervent. There was a renewed determination inside of her to decipher how to get rid of the poison inside Darren's body.

Rolando, on the other hand, started observing Harper more closely, rarely taking his eyes off her. To him, her recent behaviors had been strange, especially the way she interacted with Darren—she seemed to be particularly close to him. The moment she left his room, she couldn't help but smile. It was as if she was in an excellent mood despite what was happening.

As Rolando looked at the physicians helping Harper concoct an antidote, he signaled to her in their secret code, saying, "Harper, I know there's something wrong between you and Darren."

Harper didn't reply nor stop what she was doing. She didn't even look up at him. Rolando's words just flowed right through her, not ever reaching her.

Rolando knitted his eyebrows in confusion and continued signaling to her. "Harper, what if Matthew finds out what happened today? Aren't you afraid that he may sneak into Darren's room tonight and end his life due to jealousy?"

Finally, Harper cast Rolando a glance. It was a stare so cold that even Rolando, who had put her under house arrest and had done a lot of things that hurt her, was taken aback. It was nothing he had seen before, which said a lot considering his already strained relationship with the woman.

"I won't allow anyone to hurt him. Remember, no one!" Harper hissed, stressing their secret code. 'Not Rolando, not Matthew—no one would hurt the current Darren, who is Chad, my brother in my previous life!' she thought. She was the only one who knew that the true Darren was already dead, and that the current Darren was actually Chad, her brother of her last life. Anyone who dared hurt her beloved brother would pay with his or her life!

Even though Rolando looked like he was intimidated by Harper's threatening, deep inside, he actually was extremely happy. Matthew was a very jealous man. If he found out that his wife cared about Darren so much, he would undoubtedly be outraged and rushed to kill Darren!

Rolando was extremely curious as to what would happen if an angry Matthew and steadfast Harper fought head-on

At that time, Matthew was interrogating Douglas in the dungeon. He knew that Harper, being somewhat related to everyone and all things of the Qin Clan, wouldn't be as cruel to them as he would be. But since he didn't have any feelings towards the Qin Clan, there was nothing stopping him to be as merciless as he could be. And with that, he showed how cruel he could be to Douglas.

"Douglas, I'm not Harper. My patience is limited, and so is the mercy I feel in my heart. If you don't want spend your remaining days worse than a dead person, you'd better tell me everything you know," Matthew said coldly, his stare piercing and deadly. "And don't count on Felton to save you. He knew it would be better for him to let me do my job."
