Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 585 The Pawn Confessed His Crime (Part Two)

Nodding his head, Walden said, "It's my fault. I must have been out of my mind to make such a terrible mistake. Please forgive me, Father."

Matthew looked at Walden and then at his "wife", who was sitting calmly by his side. "Walden, how ridiculous to speak in that way! Can a person momentarily lose his mind and slaughter a whole family?"

His "wife" turned her eyes to Matthew. "Since you are so ruthless, you must pay the price."

With the expression on his face unchanged, Matthew toyed with the glass in his hand. Then his eyes fell upon the woman's neck. "Why didn't you wear the necklace I gave you?" he asked.

By now, Matthew was sure that she was not Harper. He had never given a necklace to Harper as a gift. As a matter of fact, he had once given Harper a pair of bracelets as a token of affection, which the woman by his side obviously had no idea about. Matthew suspected that this was the empress's new trick—substituting someone else for his wife.
