Elspeth smirked. She didn’t expect Harper to arrive so soon. Just in time!

Haris’ expression stiffened.

“What? What did you do to them?”

“Wasn’t I clear enough? They were pieces of trash, so I took the trash out, of course.”

Haris’ face turned green, but he remained unperturbed. “What gives you the confidence to barge into my courtyard without permission? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll do something to her?”

Haris had surreptitiously checked his surroundings and found that Elspeth was extremely near him. He figured she would be an excellent hostage.
