Forensic Imperial Concubine

It would have saved Harper so much trouble if she managed to run away secretly, but she was unexpectedly stopped by the young man.

"You're so mean. How could you leave me alone and run away?" Carlson was angry.

"I'm just afraid that people from the Joy Club would take revenge on me. You're from the imperial family, and they wouldn't dare hurt you. They have a strong background, so I wouldn't dare go against them when I'm just a nobody."

"But you still did it. I'm not afraid of anyone in the Joy Club unless they have the support of His Majesty!" Carlson boasted. "But if it weren't for you, I would have been tricked. I can't believe those bastards set a trap for me."

"You're welcome. I was just short on money. Why don't you invite me to dinner to thank me?"

Harper replied frankly. Carlson studied Harper, who looked obsessed with money. "Are you lacking money?"

"I'm short on money. My mother passed away a long time ago, and my stepmother's cruel. She doesn't give me any money. My father's incompetent and doesn't favor me. So, yes. I do lack money."

"Never mind. I'll buy you something to eat since you're so pitiful," Carlson sighed. 'His father must have a lot of concubines, ' he thought.

"Thank you very much." A slight smile appeared on Harper's lips. "Since it's your treat, I won't turn down."

As the youngest son of Prince Allen, Carlson led a life of luxury and had been spoiled by his parents and brothers. He had never experienced what it was like being short of money. "I knew you'd say yes. By the way, my name's Carlson Jun. What's yours?"

"Harrell Qin," Harper replied. Qin was her late mother's surname.

"Harrell. That's a good name. Let's go to the Spring Restaurant and have a good meal! By the way, tell me, how did you know that there was something wrong with the dices?" Without asking whether Harper wanted to go, Carlson started dragging her. Nina, Harper's maid, and Porter, Carlson's manservant, following after them. It angered Nina when she saw Carlson holding Harper's arm, and she wanted to slap his hand away. It was inappropriate for an unmarried lady like Harper to be casually pulled around the street by a man.

"Don't worry. His Highness is a nice man!" When Porter noticed that Nina was worried about Harper being bullied, he reassured her.

Nina, however, only gave Porter an angry glance and hurried after Harper.

Once they entered the Spring Restaurant, they bumped into Hansen. "Oh, Carlson! How come Uncle Allen let you out today?" Hansen sneered.
