Forensic Imperial Concubine

As soon as Derrick got the antidote, he divided it into two parts. He forced one part down Daphne's throat. When he found his daughter was fine after taking the antidote, he swallowed the other part himself.

Harper could only look on at what Derrick was doing, a disgusted look on her face. Matthew, on the other hand, showed no emotion on his face. His clenched fists, however, showed the rage he was feeling inside.

Darren, whose face was paper white, gritted his teeth in anger.

"Get out of the way, you two! If you don't, I'll slit Daphne's throat!" Derrick hissed, his eyes wide, like a maniac. Yes, he had a son and a daughter, but they were useless to him. The moment he got the Qin Clan's treasure, he would stop aging! He could have as many children as he pleased!

Harper remained still, her eyes transfixed on the crazed Derrick. At some point, Matthew decided to grab her arm and pull her out of Derrick's way. Derrick then started heading towards the mansion's exit with Daphne as his hostage. He knew that as long as he escaped from the mansion, no one would be able to catch him. As Darren had managed the entire city and the mansion for many years, he had become the actual ruler of the city.

Daphne became increasingly terrified as she was being dragged away by Derrick, her own father, a person who she had always respected. He attacked Harper, poisoned his own son after being drugged, and now, he was threatening others with her as a hostage. Was he really their biological father?

When Derrick finally exited the room, Harper hurried to Darren's side to support him. "I told you we can handle it. Why did you still come out?"

Darren feebly leaned his whole body against Harper, weakly answering, "Look—I'm worried about you, Harper. I just wanted to come out and have a look."
