Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 589 The Scapegoat (Part One)

With her arms wrapped around Matthew's neck, Harper said with a charming smile, "Darling, is the show for today's birthday banquet very interesting?"

"Do you really want to know?" Matthew asked with amusement when he saw that Harper's face was filled with interest.
