Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 963

Victoria found herself pinned on a chair, the person pinning her down none other than her own daughter-in-law, Beth, who had
been nothing but obedient to her until that moment.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Victoria snapped, her eyes wide. "Beth, are you really planning on betraying me and
our clan?"
Beth let out a loud, mocking laugh. "Mother, lest you forget: you are just a concubine! You are not the legal leader of this clan!"
Victoria's face was immediately drained of color. The thing she hated the most was when people referred to her as a concubine.
For years, she had worked hard to erase that part of her life so that she could be seen and revered as the leader of their clan!
"What do you want, Harper?!"
"Your Highness, we have found her."
Harper nodded in acknowledgement. Finally, she heard some good news—Daphne had been found. Now, the main thing they
had to deal with was Derrick. Being the lord of the city, he still had a significant control over the place, so it was hard to know
how many spies were working for him. Harper would take this opportunity to weed them all out, because if not, they would only
bring her endless troubles.
Chaos, however, had already started taking hold of Phoenix City. The guards had betrayed the imperial court and the whole city
had already become a battlefield. An army had already made its way to Matthew's foothold just outside the city limits, but when
they arrived, they found no one there.
"Shit, it's a trap! Withdraw! Withdraw!"
"Where are you going? You just got here! Don't tell me you're leaving already!" Rolando called out, evidently amused. His

boisterous laughs then followed.
The assassins, now more stunned than ever, immediately tried to flee as being in the same place as Rolando only meant one
thing: certain death. Unfortunately for them, it seemed that dying was inevitable. As soon as they got out, numerous arrows
came flying towards them, killing some of them instantaneously. With that, they had no other choice but to hide until they had an

escape. Rolando, however, made sure that they wouldn't see such an opportunity. Immediately, he ordered his people drench the whole place in oil and to light it on fire, burning

the secret footholds of the Qin Clan in and around Phoenix City, and as for the mansion of the Qin Clan, with Harper there, Victoria would not be able to make any kind of move against them. Darren stood by the gates of the lord's mansion wielding a sword, his expression calm yet stone-cold, as if he had expected all the chaos around him. "Darren, my son," Derrick called out. "Stop calling me that. It makes me feel sick," Darren responded hostilely. "You have already killed your dear son." Derrick let out a

Derrick couldn't help but laugh. "Confident, aren't you, lad? I can tell it's because of your connections with that Harper and her
husband," he said as he donned a ferocious smile. "A bit of bad news, however: there is no way they can come here. Actually,
anyone outside the city would not be able to get anywhere near here to lend you a hand. You're isolated, helpless, and cornered,
Darren. Poor you."
"I have no intention of surrendering, especially to you. I will kill you. It will be quick and painless, so don't worry," Darren
responded, unaffected by Derrick's snide remarks. It was said that a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. It meant that when
Derrick killed his own son, he became worse than an instinct-driven beast!
"How dare you threaten me! Kill him!" Derrick bellowed as he signaled for his minions to attack. His army immediately leapt to
their feet and launched several attacks against Darren. Darren remained unflinching in the face of such danger. One by one he

or any emotion related to that as hordes of armed men continue to hound him. Upon seeing this, Derrick cackled and rushed towards Darren, his sword in his hand. He was the one who trained his son, so he should be the one to end the fight. His soldiers got out of his way, creating a space wherein he and Darren could face each other off. Everyone knew that none of them could take on Darren
