Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 184 A Marriage Arrangement (Part One)

As soon as Harper came back, Howard noticed that she was acting rather normal. In an instant, it dawned on him that even after their conversion, Katrina did not think that this person in front of him was an impostor. With this, he concluded that she was the real Harper. For the time being, all the facts at hand showed that there were only some changes in Harper's dispositions.

"What took you so long, Harper?" Mavis asked with confusion written all over her face.

"Lady Katrina asked me to come over because she wanted to ask me some questions. We talked for quite a long time, so I came back a bit late," Harper answered politely. "Fortunately, His Majesty and Her Majesty haven't arrived yet, or else it would have been impolite for me to come at this point."

"Have a cup of warm tea. Look at your face! It's bright red because of the coldness." True to her words, Mavis hurriedly handed a cup of tea to Harper, who took it with a smile and immediately took a sip.

On the other hand, Howard didn't say anything to her. He just carefully watched her movements as discretely as he could. He then shifted his attention to Zack, who was sitting diagonally opposite to him. He quickly noticed that ever since Harper had come back to her seat, Zack's gaze had been fixated on her.

"Father," Howard called to Charles in a very low voice. Then, he turned to switch his gaze to the direction where the Bu Clan was situated. Charles followed Howard's gaze and his eyes coincidentally met with Zack's.

Zack gave a bland smile to Charles and turned his eyes away. Then, he spoke to Caroline beside him and the woman immediately flashed a big smile on her face.

Harper was just quietly sipping her tea with her head lowered. In all honesty, she was still lost in vivid thoughts about Hailey's appearance inside the imperial palace. She firmly believed that the girl had only managed to do that with Howard's help. In the meantime, she was certain that Katrina had some other intentions for asking her to come over. She quietly thought to herself, 'What on earth is Katrina up to? What does Hailey intend to do?'
