The news of Harper's divorce agreement had spread like wildfire all over the country. The news reached Matthew, along with the
bracelets he gave to Harper before their wedding.
Barry felt the cold aura around Matthew, so he took a few steps back. He knew the consequences of Matthew exploding with
anger. Last time Matthew got this angry, he destroyed a yard in the north domain!
However, contrary to Barry's expectation, Matthew suddenly restrained himself. He tore the divorce agreement into pieces and
carefully put the bracelet away. "I have to go now."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Even though Barry knew that the situation would be difficult for them if Matthew had left them at that
moment, he dared not to stop him. Rolando feared Matthew and considered him as a great threat. If it was possible, he would do
whatever it took to make Matthew stay in the Great Jade Kingdom. For the time being, Rolando was bound by the treaty, and he
couldn't make a move against Matthew. But it couldn't prevent him from making trouble for Matthew and his country.
After Matthew left, a man who looked like the spitting image of Matthew came out and took his place in the team. The man
asked, "Do you think he believes it?"
"If he believed it, he would be extremely furious. But he seemed to have his anger under control, which means otherwise. One
way or another, he will try to verify it himself." Barry sighed helplessly, "Prince Francis has made a colossal mistake. Master was
very irritated this time."
"I am not sure if we can get back to the imperial capital before the day of Prince Francis' ascension to the throne. I can't wait to
see that big spectacle. Prince Francis would dare challenge our master and rob him of his wife," the man said.
"I'm also looking forward to it eagerly," Barry sighed.
The day of the new emperor's ascension to the throne was nearing, but the Sleek Palace was rather quiet. Harper seemed cool
as ever, and was busy with her own business. Even Cynthia couldn't remain calm.
"Harper, what on earth are you thinking?" Harper had sent a divorce agreement to Matthew. Cynthia knew about this and took a
secret pleasure in it, thinking that Harper was just stupid to give up Matthew for Francis. She believed that Matthew was way
better than Francis.
Harper was practicing calligraphy. She tried to focus her mind and calmed down. Jason had given her a copy of the divorce
agreement that Francis forged. She noticed that Francis used the handwriting of the former Harper, which was different from
hers. Matthew was the only one who knew her real handwriting, so he would know the agreement was a fake.

"Harper, may I ask you something?"

"Cynthia, I'm Prince Matthew's wife," Harper said, without even raising her head. "Please address me correctly."
"But you have already divorced Prince Matthew," Army, Cynthia's maid, blurted out.
"Forsythia, slap her." Harper had no patience for the people she didn't like. Forsythia would never allow others to offend her
master. She knew very well that Harper had never written the divorce agreement. She immediately grabbed the maid and
slapped her across the face. Not until the maid's teeth were knocked out did she stop the slapping.
The maid slumped onto the floor, her cheeks swollen badly, her face covered with blood. Cynthia's pupils contracted sharply

a captive, Harper could still decide her fate. She dared not act rashly, as that would affect her own survival. Harper continued to write. "I tolerate Francis just because I'm outnumbered now. It is not a good time for me to take off the gloves. I put up with Jason because he's my old friend. But I shall not endure any disrespect from others, including Lady Sherry, not to mention a humble maid like her. Cynthia, be smart. If you continue to be so naive and unaware of your place, with such an arrogant maid around, you will die in the Imperial

a hurry. Cynthia had never been insulted like this in all her life. Being the young lady of the Swan Castle, many people dotted on her. Now she was in the imperial capital,

"My Lady, it's my entire fault," Amy said as she tried to apologize.
"She wanted to insult me. Even if it wasn't for you, she would have found out another excuse!" Cynthia was annoyed. "She wrote
the divorce agreement herself, and now she still pretends to be Matthew's wife. How ridiculous!"
"My Lady..." Amy stopped abruptly. The earlier experience alerted her. She looked around and was relieved to see that no one
was around. "This is the Imperial Palace, not the Swan Castle."
Cynthia took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She decided to keep a low profile and put up with everything. She couldn't
wait to see how that woman would face Matthew!
Her eyes were full of malice. She wasn't sure if Matthew could make it back to the imperial capital before the new emperor's
enthronement. It would definitely be an enjoyable show if he could. She wanted to see how Harper would react then!
Seeing Cynthia leaving in fury, Harper felt much more cheerful. She continued with the calligraphy. She wrote so hard that the
brush pen almost pierced through the paper!
"Your Highness." The maids from the embroidery house brought the empress's attire to Harper, so that she could try it on. They
knew she was Prince Matthew's former wife. As far as they were concerned, she had divorced Prince Matthew to marry Prince
Francis, and soon would be the empress. Many of them disdained her and thought she was a slut, but at the same time they

calligraphy. So once again, they said in a louder voice, "Lady Harper, we are here on Prince Francis' order. If you can, please try the clothes on." Harper ignored them again. She was never a pushover. Those who thought they could force her into submission were making a tremendous mistake. The maids soon realized that Harper
