Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 543

Turning to Harper in surprise, Marquis Scarlet said, "I heard that Prince Matthew's wife is arrogant and overbearing. It wasn't
until now that I found out they were telling the truth, though they forgot to mention that you're also a liar who makes irresponsible
remarks and accuses others of hasty slanderous charges."
Harper laughed sarcastically before responding, "Oh, really? I did hear some things about you too, you know. I wonder what the
face behind that mask really looks like."
She stretched out her hand to remove the mask from Marquis Scarlet's face. But as soon as her hand touched the mask, a silver
needle was shot at her wrist. In a second, Matthew hastily pulled Harper away to protect her. Marquis Scarlet took the chance to
get rid of Matthew's grip on him and quickly stepped away from them.
"I admire your agility, Prince Matthew. But next time we meet, I won't lose to you." After that, Marquis Scarlet looked at Harper
with eyes full of complex emotions. At that, he was finally ready to leave.
As a glimmer of light flashed through her eyes, Harper shot three silver needles from the bracelet around her wrist towards
Marquis Scarlet. The man quickly turned around to avoid the attack. But, unfortunately for him, one of the silver needles found its
way into his body.
Marquis Scarlet spat out a mouthful of blood. He turned around one more time and gave a ferocious glance at Harper. Wiping off
the blood from the corner of his mouth, he quickly disappeared in the darkness. All the other assassins had already fled away in
different directions even before their leader could. Matthew made a gesture with his hand, ordering the secret guards who were

in hiding to chase them.
When they were sure that every member of the Scarlet Devils had fled, Harper finally had the time to worry about the situation in
the imperial capital. If it was true that someone had deliberately lured them away from the imperial capital, their family there
would have been in great danger by then. After thinking about it for a little more while, Harper suddenly breathed a sigh of relief

would be in danger right now. However, the next moment I realized that my actual family is together with me right now," Harper softly said with a small smile. She looked at Matthew, wanting him to know that by "actual family," she meant him. She then added, "Also, Gianna is in Allen's mansion and is being taken good care of by him and his wife, so I don't need to

is nobody in the imperial capital that we need to worry about." "But your father is there," Matthew reminded her. Even though Harper did not consider Charles as her father anymore, there was no denying that they were still bonded by blood. "He is not my father," Harper said firmly, emphasizing each word. Her father was not a frantic bastard like Charles. In her previous life, her father was actually stricter with her than with her elder brother because he thought that a female should be independent

"If you say so. I guess he doesn't deserve to be called like that," Matthew agreed with her.
"How are we going to deal with the Scarlet Devils?" Despite the assurance that her family would be fine, Harper was still worried
about the Scarlet Devils. After all, she knew that these people were merciless and desperate. If they were determined to get rid
of someone, no one knew the limit that they would be willing to take. Moreover, Scarlet Devils had been associated with Alban's
death. For just that fact, Harper was reluctant to let them go that easily.
"Don't worry. Once my secret guards find the Scarlet Devils' location, it will be easy to capture all of them. Of course, I won't let
those gangsters go free and go about doing what they want. What's more, they even dared to think of going after me. How can I
not do something to them in return?" Matthew confidently stated with conviction in his eyes. He knew that at whichever cost, he

believe they are sensible enough to tell what is right and wrong. Now that they have a legitimate reason to hold a grudge against them, they would regret it very much if they weren't there at the very least," Harper stated softly. "As a matter
