Chapter 538

"Well, so when your teacher's son was down and in trouble, you didn't hesitate to hit him," Matthew said in a flat tone, but Hollis
trembled with fear at his words.
"Your Highness, you are scaring me. I didn't hit him when he was down, nor do I have the nerve to do such a thing. As for this
case, after the post-mortem examination of the corpse, Marquis Pearce pressurized me to bring justice to his son. I did

"Really?" Matthew sneered. "Are you trying to fool me thinking that I know nothing about the law?"
"Please forgive me, Your Highness! I never meant to offend you. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me!" Hollis could not help but curse
his assistant in his heart, because it was the latter who had advised him to visit Matthew and get some information about the

would be killed by Matthew then and there.
Harper saw Hollis moving out in a hurry. She asked Matthew silently with her eyes what was going on.

Chances were that, someone working for the murderer was in the government office, or the murderer himself was in the government office. A flicker of light flashed across

enough to alert the snake?" "Not bad. But, I'm not sure if the people hiding behind would take the bait." Harper feared that the aim of their opponent would have been to make them leave the imperial capital. If so, now that they were in the River City, the opponent was successful in achieving their aim. So she was afraid that they wouldn't be hooked easily. "Even if they want to keep me out of the imperial capital, I still don't think it would be easy for them to do what they want. They will have to keep me

"Are you suspecting anyone?"
Matthew shook his head and said, "It's difficult for me to make a wild guess, especially with minimal evidence. Otherwise, I will
be misled by my impression, which will only satisfy our enemy."
Harper nodded in agreement. At that time, she saw Alexander coming out after freshening up. She went to check on him, and
tried to find out if he was injured. Fortunately for him, Hollis hadn't tortured him. Moreover, since Alexander believed that it was
he who killed Alban, he signed his confession without offering any resistance. In this way, he had also avoided suffering

Harper picked up food for him and served with her own hands. "Harper, can I go back to the school tomorrow?" Alexander asked curiously. "I don't want to miss any more courses."
