Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 699 Make You The Empress (Part Two)

When Harper put down her bowl and chopsticks, Francis casually put down his bowl and chopsticks as well despite not having eaten much. Seeing that, Cynthia also had to put down her bowl and chopsticks. And after rinsing her mouth, she stood up and left the table right away.

"What do you want to ask me? Go ahead," Harper flatly said, aware that Francis would definitely ask her since Rufus had come to her last night.

Seeing how cold Harper was being toward him, Francis felt so distressed. "Given the way you're speaking to me, I just don't know how I'm supposed to ask you anything. I just really wanted to have breakfast together with you. That's all. You don't have to think of me as an authoritarian."

Putting down the teacup, Harper said, "Francis, we are both adults. Why don't we go straight to the point? I don't want to waste my time beating around the bush with you. You live such a scrupulous life and you seem to enjoy it. You may not feel tired, but I do. If you want to ask me anything, just go ahead and ask it. If you don't ask me right now, I may not give you an answer if you ask me about it next time."

"Why did Rufus come to you?"

"He didn't come here for me."

"What message did Howard deliver to you?" Francis knew that if he let this opportunity slip away, it would be impossible for him to get the truth from Harper later on.
