The reason why Francis told Harper what happened to Felton was because he wanted to see how she was going to react to it.
Back then, she had made a move without any hesitation because of what he himself had done. What would she do if it were
someone from the Qin Clan? To be more specific, when it came to this case, he was curious about whether or not Harper would

documents. "Here you go; it's all you asked for."
"Thank you, Darren."
"We are friends. There is no need for those polite words," Darren said.
Harper only smiled as she took the documents and leafed through them one by one. During this process, Darren noticed that a
