Chapter 19 An Eye For An Eye (Part One)


    Sue was nning to throw a party for celebrating the beautiful flowers in the Chu n mansion. She


    had also invited Harper to the party, hoping with all her heart that Harper would wear the poisonous


    clothes. Everyone was supposed to dress up. Sue had also invited many guests to avoid Harper''s


    suspicion.


    Harper''s lips twitched into a smile when Sue invited her. "Nina, bring the clothes that Lady Sue had


    sent me a few days ago." She nudged Nina.


    "My Lady, that dress..." Nina swallowed the rest of the words that were lingering on the tip of her


    tongue. Seeing Harper''s determination, Nina had no other choice but to take out the clothes for her.


    ''Lady Harper is aware that the clothes are coated with poison, but why is she determined to wear


    them?'' she thought.


    Harper smiled at Nina''s confused face. She pinched her cheek and said, "Don''t worry about me. Lady


    Sue has prepared the clothes specifically for me. If I don''t wear them, all her efforts will be in vain. I am


    going to surprise her." Harper waggled her eyebrows, and there was a mischievous glint in her eyes.


    Although Nina didn''t understand what Harper''s ns were, she knew that Harper must havee up


    with a n to deal with the situation. "As far as I know, Lady Sue is not a kind woman. I can''t believe


    that she has invited all thedies of our mansion to dress up. Wouldn''t she be afraid that otherdies


    would also be under the limelight and outshine Lady Felicia?"


    Harper cast a knowing smile and remained quiet. She was aware that Sue''s primary motive was to


    make her wear the clothes. Harper decided to fulfill Sue''s wish as she was desperate to see her wear


    them. But would Sue witness what she had always wished for?


    Perhaps, Sue was afraid that Harper would outshine her daughter, Felicia. Therefore, she had only


    invited thedies of the renowned officials, instead of the ones from the imperial family. She had taken


    extreme care in dressing up Felicia. She wanted her daughter to look the best. Felicia was going to


    When Harper arrived at the party, everyone was swarmed around Felicia and was gushing about how


    beautiful she was.


    "Oh, Lady Sue, you are incredibly lucky to have such a beautiful daughter. Look at Lady Felicia, she


    looks divine. It is no wonder that the heir of Prince Kevin insists on marrying her. If I were him, I would


    have also agreed to marry her in a heartbeat," one of the women said.


    "I''m ttered." Felicia blushed as her heart swelled with happiness.


    "She''s right, Lady Sue. Both your daughters are fine girls who look gorgeous. You are blessed to have


    daughters like them. We have always admired you," another woman chimed in.


    "Don''t tter her. Otherwise it would go to her head." Sue scanned the crowd and finally caught a


    glimpse of Harper. Harper was wearing the clothes that she had sent her. Her stomach did a little flip as


    she was thrilled to see that her n was finally working. "Hello, Lady Harper. Why are youte? We all


    arrived here a long time ago," she said, smiling sweetly.


    The women were not happy about what Sue had said. They were women born into families of the


    highest ss. It had been an insult for them to wait for Harper—the one who was disliked by everyone


    in the Chu n mansion.


    "Lady Harper, you have disrespected us. Isn''t it rude of you to make us wait for a long time?" a woman


    said.


    "Good day,dies." Harper greeted everyone with a sweet smile. She turned around to nce at Sue.


    Sue was always known for provoking people and turning them against her. She had done the same


    thing today as well. "Please, allow me to exin,dies. I''m notte. I''ve been here for a long time,


    watching you all have a good time. I didn''t want to disturb you."


    "It''s good to have you here, Lady Harper. Take a seat," Sue smiled.


    Harper grinned at Sue and walked towards Felicia and held her hands. "Felicia, you look beautiful in


    these clothes. I''m sure your mother must have put all her efforts in making them for you. You are


    always so beautiful, but these clothes make you look even prettier."


    Although Felicia was confused to hear Harper''s kind words of appreciation, she looked pleased. "Thank


    you, Harper. You are also incredibly beautiful, and I feel inferior next to you."


    Harper stretched out her hand and caressed Felicia''s hair. "You look stunning, Felicia. Come and sit


    down. People are waiting for us."


    Felicia then pulled herself away from Harper and walked to her seat. Harper sat down quietly as she


    watched the other women chat. She asionally answered when she was being questioned. But she


    was quiet during the rest of the conversation, and smiled from time to time.


    Sue kept ncing at Harper, waiting for her to turn into aughing stock. The poison would do its work


    anytime soon. If Harper made a fool of herself today, the rumor of her disfigurement would spread like


    fire, all over the imperial capital. And Harper would not be weed in the Imperial Capital, even if


    Mavis wanted to send her there.

    Time had passed, but nothing had happened. Sue rubbed her hands as she grew anxious. She turned


    to look at Ruby, who gave an affirmative nod. No one would find out that Harper''s clothes were


    poisoned, and the poison was strong enough to devastate her.


    Sue let out a huge breath, waiting for the poison to do its work. "Oh my God, look at her," a woman


    yelped in surprise.


    "What''s the matter?" asked another one.


    "Look at Lady Felicia! Her face..." The woman who had screamed pointed at Felicia.
