Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 861

It never occurred to Toby that Rolando leaving the palace with a woman and without any guards would be a lure for him to show
himself and reveal his plans. He thought that as long as he followed Rolando out, he would definitely be captured by Miguel. It
was already too late when he realized what Rolando was aiming for.
"You dirty rat!" he shouted at Miguel with an angry face.
"Shut up! You can never blame others for your own incompetence!" Miguel hissed. He then turned to the guards and ordered,
"Arrest him and lock him up!"
The guards quickly advanced towards Toby to apprehend him but he was ready to defend himself. Unfortunately, even though he
tried his best to hold them off, he was no match for the guards in terms of martial arts. Soon, they were able to chain him and
then threw him into a tight cage in a carriage, which drove off and disappeared into the darkness.
When Toby met Rolando again, he was in the jail. Rolando stood outside the cell in his magnificent white emperor clothes, which
made him stand out in the dark hallway.
"Rolando, you are a despicable man!" Toby cursed with resentment at the sight of him.
Rolando, however, wore a smile on his angelic face. "You're a prisoner now but you still dare talk so arrogantly. That's really
impressive," he said quietly as he stared down on his brother.
His words irritated Toby more. He grabbed the rail of the cell and roared, "Now I understand everything! You won't never risk your
life for a woman! It turned out that you actually took advantage of her in order to lure me out! What do you think she'll do if she

finds out what you did? I bet she'd hate you until you die!" There was a hint of threat and madness in his voice.
Despite Toby's threats, Rolando's smile never left his lips. "Well, I'm afraid that is why you are no match for me."
"What do you mean by that?" Toby asked, confused.

intended to take her out to see amazing spots around here. I just used that opportunity to deal with you," Rolando replied patiently. His voice was gentle and his tone playful. "And even though she knows that I have taken advantage of her, I doubt that she'll get angry at me." "Oh, come on, Rolando. Aren't you being too confident that she's not furious

Matthew's wife. Remember?" He hated his brother but he knew him well—he was in love with Harper! The moment Toby's words hit Rolando's ears, Rolando's pupils constricted, but his expression remained mostly unchanged. Seeing this, Toby could not help but wonder, 'Did I just make a false assumption? Maybe Rolando

"That's not what I want to discuss with you today. I'm here today to give you a choice," Rolando said slowly. "Do you want to live
or die?"
"Will you keep me alive?" Toby asked instead. He was surprised to hear Rolando offer a chance of sparing his life. He knew what
Rolando was capable of. Back when Rolando left the Imperial Capital to be a monk, he and his brothers fought with each other
just to get the throne. For five years they kept doing that, but as soon as Rolando came back, all their plans and tricks were fell
through all of a sudden. It wasn't because they were too weak or because they lacked careful planning. It was because Rolando
made sure that none of them would be able to carry out what they were thinking of doing. He was cruel, and he didn't think of

there were only two groups: one, the people he could take advantage of; and two, the people who were useless to him. Toby was in the latter group, unsurprisingly. "Of course, I will. Why would not I let you alive?" Rolando said, smiling wider. "But you have to pay a price." "What kind of price?" Toby asked. He truly found this offer attractive. In his mind, it was better to have a bad
