"You must be kidding me." Marquis Scarlet was astonished.

Francis raised his head and said seriously, "Do I sound like I'm kidding?"

Marquis Scarlet took a deep breath and replied, "She's Matthew's wife."

They had received 100, 000 taels of silver from Felix to frame Alexander and kill Harper, and indeed Francis was not directly involved in that transaction. Even if Harper ever learned that he owned the Scarlet Devils, she couldn't accuse him of anything.
