Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 936 The Qin Clan's Sudden Visit (Part Two)

"Don't be so formal with me, please. I think we are close enough to forgo all these polite remarks." Darren stretched out his hand and tried to rub Harper's head, but was stopped by Matthew at once.

"Behave yourself!" the protective husband demanded. As he shook off Darren's hand, a look of danger filled his eyes.

"Oh, I forgot. You're married, so you're no longer the little girl you used to be. I'll go back then. I will let you know if I've come upon any news," Darren finally said, forcing a polite smile.

"Okay," Harper replied. She nodded her head quickly, hinting that Darren should run out as fast as he could. An air of hostility was already running high in the air, an aura way different from what she sensed whenever Zack was around. Matthew was on the guard against Darren somehow, and it showed on his face every time Darren was near.

After Darren left, Harper looked at Matthew in confusion and asked, "Honey, why are you so hostile towards him?"

"I don't like that man!" That was the only explanation Matthew gave amidst his fit of unhappiness. He then deepened his frown to further show his low opinion of her friend. But aside from that, he said no more. This had embarrassed Harper a lot, to the extent that she found it hard to pick the right words to continue the topic, so she just started a new one. "Matthew, do you think that Rolando is here, in the Phoenix City?"

"No, I don't think so," Matthew answered firmly. "There are too many spies here in the Phoenix City. If he sets foot in here, he might as well be thoroughly exposed, inviting everyone to find him. He won't be that stupid. And even if he does slip inside, he will disguise himself as an ordinary person so that no one will be suspicious of him."

Harper nodded in agreement. Rolando was indeed a careful person. 'A persistent one, too,' she thought. He would not give up snatching the other half of the Sacred Seal from her, especially now that he had the Heavenly Book and the other half of the seal. Rolando would do everything to find her and to get what he wanted from her.
