Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 45 Punishment

Harper stumbled forward, eyes filled with tears. She tried so hard to hold her tears back.

"Felicia, I know you love His Highness and he loves you too. His Highness even broke off our engagement to marry you. And I gave way because you are my dear sister and I care for you. Why would you want to hurt me after I've done this for you?"

Tears streamed down her face. "I have given up my dream of becoming His Highness's wife. And I have promised you that I will never see His Highness again. I have given you everything you want since we were little. I have always put your happiness first. Why? Why would you try to kill me again and again? You're so vicious."

Harper's words made Kate's heart break. She felt so sorry for her. "Harper, you've suffered a lot."

"I... You..." Tears welled up in Felicia's eyes. She didn't know how to reply. At that moment, Sue finally managed to free herself and ran into Felicia's room. As soon as she came in, she saw Felicia's face was beaten so hard that she could hardly recognize her.

"What's going on?" Sue asked in worry. She trembled and constantly wiped the tears of Felicia.

"What a shameless concubine!" Kate snorted. She was not happy with both Sue and Felicia. "Your daughter is a vicious girl!"

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Felicia has always been a very nice girl. Please don't be deceived by the real evil in this room." It was obvious that Sue was talking about Harper. She was sure Harper was the one who poisoned Kate's perception of Felicia. Kate had always favored Felicia and wouldn't have said anything ill about Felicia if not for Harper's slander.

"Deceived?" Kate sneered. "All of us heard Felicia say that she was the one who poisoned Yvonne and framed Harper. It's obvious who has been telling lies. She even asked her maid to go and see whether Yvonne and Harper were dead or not."

Sue's face paled. She looked at Felicia in disbelief. But when Felicia cast her eyes down to avoid direct eye contact, Sue understood at once. She was exasperated at Felicia for always making trouble!

Sue crawled to Kate, held her hand and said, "Your Highness, there must be some misunderstanding. Felicia would never say something like that."

"Enough!" Kate shook off Sue's hands and slapped her hard across the face. Red fingerprints appeared on Sue's face right away. It was at that moment that Charles and Mavis entered the room.

As soon as Kate saw them coming, she said, "Prime Minister Charles, Lady Mavis, since you are here, I'll make it clear to you. I will never let such a vicious woman be my daughter-in-law!"

It's all my fault. I'm begging you. Please don't say that. His Highness and I love each other very much. I lost my mind when I found that Yvonne seduced him behind my back. I just wanted to teach her a lesson." Before Felicia could say anything more and dig herself into much more trouble, Sue
