Forensic Imperial Concubine

Hailey grew anxious to see Mavis' stubbornness. She then looked at Charles helplessly. Even he looked embarrassed at that moment. Hailey only hoped that he would help her to convince Mavis. He said to Mavis, "Mother, I think we can talk about helping Harper return to the Imperial Academy of Medicine later. The last few days have been very eventful. So we'd better keep a low key for the time being."

"Then, let's talk about Hailey's request also later," Mavis said in a determined tone. "We can discuss it when you decide to deal with Harper's matter."

"Mother, what is the harm in recording Hailey as Kelly's daughter? Harper will still be Kelly's daughter too. It's a good thing for us. I mentioned this to you even at the time when Harper was still a little kid. But you had refused it at that time. Now that they've already grown up, I think we should take a call on this. If Hailey continues to be considered as a concubine's daughter, it's not good for our reputation," Charles continued. He did not give up and kept making efforts to convince Mavis. "I promise that I will be good to Harper no matter what."

Mavis, however, merely turned her head away, paying no attention to Charles. She knew him better than anyone else. She was very well aware of the fact that Harper had been living a hard life in the Chu Clan mansion all these years. In the past, Harper used to be very naughty and unreasonable. So Mavis did not like her that much. But now, Harper had changed. She had grown up to be a mature and considerable girl. And Mavis felt that it was her duty to protect her at any cost.

"Harper!" Charles called out to Harper in a stern voice. Failing to persuade Mavis, he turned to Harper, intending to threaten her to agree. But Harper still kept her head buried in Mavis' arms. She did not even lift her head. He continued, "You're old enough to make your own decisions. I hope that you can consider it carefully. As the lady of our mansion, you should be more considerate towards others."

"She should be more considerate to others?" Mavis scorned at Charles. She let out a crooked smile. "You should say this to Hailey. As the elder sister, she should be the one who should be more considerate to her younger sister. I didn't want to make things difficult for her. As long as she recommends Harper to regain her post as a physician, I will agree to have her recorded as Kelly's daughter. Otherwise, no way!"

Imperial Academy of Medicine. Hailey is just a physician. I don't think she is capable of convincing His Majesty. As long as you agree on it, I will try my best to help Harper regain her job as a physician!" Charles was far from

his trap. She remained unmoved. She was very well aware of Charles' credibility. She wouldn't agree on it unless Harper successfully returned to work
