Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 563

"You must be kidding me." Marquis Scarlet was astonished.
Francis raised his head and said seriously, "Do I sound like I'm kidding?"
Marquis Scarlet took a deep breath and replied, "She's Matthew's wife."
"I know that. What about it?" Francis asked with perfect calmness.
"Pearce and Matthew have reached an agreement. Alexander has become Pearce's sworn son. Do you have any idea what it
means?" Marquis Scarlet frowned slightly. It meant, obviously, that Harper and Matthew would be Francis' enemies once they
found out that Francis had something to do with the plot against Alexander.
"So what?" Francis said in an icy voice. "Scarlet Devils took Felix's money, framed Alexander, lured Harper out of the imperial
capital, and ambushed her. It's safe to say that none of this had anything to do with me."
Marquis Scarlet was confused, but after a moment of reflection, it seemed to be true. Although Francis owned the Scarlet Devils,
they never needed his permission to make this deal. They had received 100, 000 taels of silver from Felix to frame Alexander

I'll certainly sell you out after I get caught." "No, you won't," Francis said firmly, smiling innocently and sweetly. "Don't forget, we are good friends." "And is this how you treat all your friends?" Marquis Scarlet took the figurine from Francis's hand and bit its head off. "Don't pay excessive attention to this hobby! I must go now.

following Noah when I came in. I think it would look great on that dog's neck."
Matthew laughed. He couldn't help imagine how Felix would react if he saw the pearl on a chain round the dog's neck when he
visited the mansion.
"Your Highness, don't you think that would be a waste? I've never seen such a big pearl. Do you really want to put it on a dog's
neck?" Angelica couldn't help asking, thinking it was too extravagant.
Harper smiled at her. "I'll add a similar pearl to your dowry when you get married. Now take it and put it on the dog's neck."
