Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 31 The Undercurrent (Part One)

After coming out of the Splendor House, Hailey saw Harper standing outside with her maids. When Harper spotted her, she smiled softly, looking as charming as ever.

"Hailey, you're back."

"Long time no see, Harper. You're looking more beautiful than ever."

Harper smiled, waving her hand. "You're the one who's gotten even more beautiful. You've taken to the Imperial Academy of Medicine like a duck to water, I assume."

"The imperial physicians are very kind to me." There was a touch of sarcasm in Hailey's voice. After all, when Harper was in the Imperial Academy of Medicine, people didn't like her. Now that Hailey had mingled well with the people who had once disliked Harper, she guessed that this would upset Harper more than ever.

"Congratulations then." There was no trace of jealousy on Harper's face as she smiled sincerely at Hailey, but Hailey didn't believe it one bit. She knew deep inside that Harper must be fuming after she took over her position.
