Chapter 21 An Exclusive Kitchen (Part One)
Sue had twisted her hip whereas Felicia''s face had been disfigured. Even though they were in pain,
they had no choice but to endure it. It was Sue who had asked her maid to buy the poison in order to
hurt Harper. If Mavis had any idea about this, she would have burnt Sue alive. Anyway, Sue''s ns had
backfired. When Sue realized that Harper had harmed Felicia in secrecy, she couldn''t help but feel pure
hatred for Harper.
"Mother, my face! It hurts!" Felicia cried, unable to let go of her urge to scratch her face. Seeing that
she would do it any second, Ruby grabbed her hand to prevent her from touching the wounds. The
itching was almost more than Felicia could stand. However, the more she scratched it, the itchier it was
bound to get.

"Don''t be afraid, Felicia. I''ve asked someone to look for the antidote. Just bear with it for a while. If you
scratch your face, it will only make things worse," Sue said, hoping tofort Felicia. "I am here. I will
protect you and make sure it will be alright."
"Mother, am I disfigured?" Felicia asked in fear. "Look at me. Am I very ugly now? Give me the mirror. I
want the mirror."
"Felicia!" Sue snapped at Felicia. "Don''t you believe your mother''s words? I give you my assurance that
you will be fine. I have sent someone to seek the antidote. Even if we can''t find it, don''t forget that your
sister, Hailey, is an imperial physician with superb medical skills. She can definitely cure you!"
"Mother, it is Harper who poisoned me! You should not let that bitch go!" In her heart, Felicia believed it
was Harper who had brought her this misery. Even in this miserable state, she could think of nothing
but taking revenge. Her already wounded face contorted with rage.
When Sue was listening to this, an intent to kill shed in her eyes. "You can rest assured! There is no
way I am letting her go. I was looking forward to seeing her make a fool of herself today. But instead,
she made you the victim! How dare she do this! When you recover, we can torture her together!"
Harper didn''t return to her Emerald House. Instead, she went to Mavis''s Peony House. She paid her
respect to her and gave her a massage. Mavis was the only one that she could rely on in the mansion.
In fact, she was the only one who would protect her if anything went wrong. Therefore, she made it a
point to pay a lot of attention to Mavis.
"Harper, what about the banquet today?" Seeing that Harper had returned so soon, Mavis thought Sue
didn''t want to see Harper, afraid that she would steal the show from Felicia.
"Felicia may have mistakenly eaten lotus seeds and broken out in a rash. Mother was worried about
her, so she excused herself and left. I sent all thedies away and went to see Felicia," Harper replied
softly. "Felicia has been allergic before. I don''t know which maid was careless enough to give her a
bowl of lotus seeds soup. Grandma, good you didn''t see her. Felicia''s face looked extremely terrifying.
If the scars remain, what will she do?"
"Oh God! It is extremely important for a girl to maintain her pretty face. How careless the maid was!
Just sell her to the broker," Mavis said instantly. Felicia was going to be the wife of Prince Kevin''s heir,
Hansen. Although she had stolen him from Harper, she was still a member of the Chu n. Harper
didn''t seem to mind it, and Mavis didn''t think there was anything wrong.
"Grandma, in a few months, Felicia wille of age. Soon after her birthday, the wedding will take
ce. We have to discipline the maids so that they can take good care of her. If such a thing happens
again in the future and arouses His Highness''s contempt, it will ruin Felicia''s bright future. Men are fond
of beautiful women. If she is no longer pretty, her whole life will be damaged!" said Harper, massaging
Mavis'' shoulders.
"You are such a broad-minded girl. She has stolen your fiance, yet you are concerned about her
future." Mavis lovingly patted Harper. "I want to take you to the Imperial Pce to meet Lady Katrina
soon."
"Yes, Grandma."
When they were talking, Sue rushed over in rage and red at Harper before bowing down. "Good
afternoon, Mother."
"Oh you are here! How is Felicia?" Mavis asked gently. All the daughters of the Chu n should live for
the glory of the n, and she did not want either Harper or Felicia to be hurt.
"The physician found this wasn''t an allergy, but instead, someone poisoned her." Speaking of this, Sue
pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her eye. "I wonder who was heartless enough to
poison Felicia. The person wanted to kill Felicia."
"Oh my God! Mother, didn''t you say Felicia was allergic to lotus seeds? Why was she poisoned?"
Harper was surprised. "I know some medical skills. If you don''t mind, let me treat her."
"No!" Sue snorted. "Felicia''s face is already disfigured. Do you want to drug her again?"
Shocked, Harper hurried to kneel down. "What are you talking about, Mother? How would I poison my
sister? I know I am not your biological daughter, but I wouldn''t do such a thing."
"You wouldn''t? If it wasn''t you, then who else could have done it? You poisoned Felicia to take revenge
for her engagement to His Highness. You figured disfiguring her face would keep His Highness from
marrying her. Harper, how vicious you are!" Just thinking about her daughter''s condition broke Sue''s
heart. Had she known this earlier, she would have done her best to keep Harper away from her. ''How I
wish I could have protected my daughter from this wretched woman!'' she wondered with sadness.
"Grandma, I didn''t do it. Although I had been engaged to His Highness from childhood, he only loves
Felicia. I''m not a person who likes to ruin the rtionship of a loving couple. And I have decided..."
Harper paused for a while and added, "Grandma, I really didn''t do it!"
