Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 657

"So, how does it feel, lying in the bed with the pretty woman?" A voice came from out of the blue.

Sitting up, Francis asked instead, "How is it going?"

"Some of Felix's men have decided not to join us. But the rest are still thinking about it. I'm pretty sure that it's just a matter of time before they join us. On the other hand, I just don't understand why you acted so boldly today. You even got yourself sick just so you could be with that woman for a while," Jason teased. "You even asked me to keep Zack from leaving the palace. Aren't you worried at all that Matthew might get suspicious?"

"That man has never trusted me anyway," Francis replied slowly. "It won't make that much of a difference. He might just become more careful around me next time."

"Felix had an argument with his wife and the latter fell to the ground by accident. She ended up losing her baby," Jason said indifferently, taking a seat on the edge of the bed. "They are like enemies now. They'll quarrel and fight once seeing each other," he continued.

"We can't let them die so easily. Otherwise, we can't have more fun from their misery," Francis remarked. He coughed after saying that. It seemed that he was feeling under the weather.

"Please take good care of yourself. Stop treating yourself like this; do you understand?" Jason asked, his face turning into a frown.

With a bitter smile on his face, Francis said, "Jason, now that you have met her, what do you think?"

"Strange." Jason summarized his impression of her in one word. She felt like a total stranger to him now, so much so that it was like he never even knew her at all. The feeling was much too different from what it was in the past. "She looks like a totally different person to me," he added.

"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that she isn't the woman you knew before?"

"It was said that some people suspected her identity back when she was still living in the Chu Clan's mansion, but it had already been proven that she was indeed the real Harper. But I just don't understand how a person could change so much." Jason was so confused. "And I have no idea what she's thinking at all. If possible, I think it would be better for you to stay away from her."

"I can't do that," Francis exclaimed at once.

"You have to try to stay away from her whether you like it or not. Rarely do I think that someone is dangerous, but I think she is. She gives me the same kind of feeling that Matthew does. Matthew is cold, while she is gentle. But neither of them will be at other's disposal. I can tell that Matthew loves her so much. I don't think she is just an ordinary woman. We don't really know her that well."

"Who knows what the old man is thinking? All I know is that the situation right now is definitely not good!" Although Jason hadn't been in the imperial capital for years, he knew about their father's temper so well. "He is heartless and cruel. He would even kill a son without batting an eye to keep his throne," Jason blurted out.

"He will never let the Bright Dynasty fall while it is under his rule," Francis added in a low voice moments later. "No matter how heartless and stupid he may be, he will never allow the Bright Dynasty to be buried in history. However, I just don't know who he's going to choose to be the true heir."

"The heir?" Jason burst out laughing. "Felix is already screwed. Walden has been relegated to a civilian and he has banished to the borderland. Hoffman was relegated to a civilian and is being kept imprisoned in the Repenting Tower. As for Lucas, he has never really been taken seriously by our father. And Wale is still too young. Taking those things into consideration, who do you think is going to inherit this brilliant throne?"

"Jason, you seem to be forgetting someone." Francis stood up and walked up to the window. Looking outside, he said in a cold voice, "Matthew!"

"Out of everyone, the old bastard hates him the most, doesn't he? How could it be possible that he would hand over the throne to him? He would rather destroy the throne than give it to him!" Jason firmly believed. "It's impossible for the old man to choose him to be the heir."

"That leaves just one other option. Lucas," Francis said. Although there was a gentle smile on Francis' face, he looked sinister and ruthless at that moment. Anyone who saw that smile would feel chills down their spines.
