What? A look of bemusement appeared on Harper's face. She had no idea what Zack could have meant.
Gritting her teeth, Caroline told her in detail what Zack had found. "Before you left the imperial capital, Zack received some news
from Joy City. He sent his men there to investigate, but only to find that all the inhabitants were dead and... a waist token from
Prince Matthew's mansion was left there."
Harper frowned and nodded. "Thank you for the news, Caroline. Now that I know about it, I'll look into it."
"I don't believe Prince Matthew would do any such thing, but it was a fact that a waist token from his mansion was found there.
Although Zack worries about your safety in Prince Matthew's mansion, he has no doubt about the deep affection between you
and Prince Matthew. Therefore, he only wanted me to tell you about this." Caroline feared that Harper would think she and Zack
were attempting to ruin their relationship intentionally.
"I know you both mean well. And I will certainly look into this matter. I thank you and Zack both," Harper said, patting Caroline on
the shoulder to comfort her. She intended to find out the truth about the matter.
"I'm glad that you don't blame us. Zack has been hesitating for such a long time. He didn't know whether to tell you. He might

Mrs. Kong, George's Wife, she still had her girlish liveliness, but in fact she was also quite mature and astute.
"Okay, I will find an opportunity to have a word with Zack."

When she walked in, she saw Matthew playing with the black dog. The big pearl on the black dog's neck looked very dazzling. At that moment, Felix sat on one side of Matthew while Francis sat on the other side. Francis, however, seemed as dejected as a doormat. When Francis saw Harper come in, he stood up immediately as if she were his savior. However, as Matthew glared at him, he sat down right away and

"Tell the kitchen to cook lunch and send it here," Harper ordered the servants. "I don't suppose Felix and Francis have had lunch
yet either. How about joining us?"
"No, they won't stay here for lunch," Matthew declared.
"Since Aunt Harper has already invited me to stay for lunch, I won't turn it down," Felix said. When he looked at the huge pearl
hanging on the black dog's neck, his eyes were bleak with disappointment. He had taken the pearl from his wife and given it to
Harper as a gesture of goodwill, but his gift turned out merely to be jewelry for a dog. Felix's wife had been angry at him for
