Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 955

"Cocky and simple-minded, he is indeed easy to be manipulated. He can't be compared with Felton in the slightest," Matthew agreed. Felton was as cunning and good at calculating. Douglas looked smart, but in fact he was stupid. He didn't see through many things. Actually, he was a puppet in the first place. Victoria wouldn't hurt the Qin Clan just to save him. On the contrary, she would take his life, and then use his death to blame Harper.

Seeing that Douglas was taken away by Harper, Victoria remained calm and sat back. Yet, Beth lost her composure. After all, Douglas was her own son. After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to him and brought him up with hard efforts, so she couldn't turn a blind eye to his safety. Victoria was unwilling to compromise with Harper, but she was willing to do that for her son.

"I want to see my son." In the end, Beth decided to cooperate with Matthew. So, she went to Matthew's place. She didn't care about the Qin Clan at all and only cared about her son's safety.

"Please come in, Lady Beth." Barry led Beth inside the hall. Just as Matthew had expected, the Qin Clan wasn't as united as it looked. The entire clan had already been a mess. If it weren't for Victoria who had used such ruthless means to intimidate the others, the Qin Clan would have already broken apart.

Beth followed her into the room. She didn't see her son. Instead, she saw Felton leaning against the couch, reading quietly. Holding back her anger, Beth asked in a cold voice, "Where is Douglas?"

"Lady Beth, welcome. Please sit down," Felton looked up at Beth and said. "Samuel, serve tea to Lady Beth."

"Lady Beth, please have some tea," said Samuel, as he delivered a cup of hot tea to her.

Rubbing the handkerchief in her hand, Beth said, "Felton, Douglas is your younger brother. Anyway, you are from the same clan. Why don't you help him?"

"Lady Beth, now that you are here, you should know that our target is not to kill anyone," Felton said slowly. "I know that Douglas is my brother, but the Qin Clan doesn't take us as human beings."

Beth's eyelids twitched. The people of the Qin Clan were very selfish, especially Victoria. She was more focused on her own affairs and would never care about the lives of her two grandsons. In order to make better use of her ability to earn more benefits for the Qin Clan, she had let Felton run business for her all those years.

"Your grandmother is just..." Beth hesitated.

"Grandmother is old. Now that she is old, she should be replaced by a new candidate. It's time for the Qin Clan to have a new leader," Felton said slowly as he was reading the book. "Since the day I was taken away from the Qin Clan by Harper, I was no longer a member of the clan."

Beth's eyes lit up. What Felton meant was that he wouldn't try to fight to be the leader of the Qin Clan, so only Douglas was qualified to be the leader. As long as she cooperated with them, the clan would be under the rule of Douglas. If she refused to cooperate with them, Douglas's life would be in danger and he would never have the chance to be the leader. Anyway, if she had to cooperate with them, it would be better for her to cooperate with Felton.
