Chapter 115 Hailey''s n (Part Two)


    Hailey grew anxious to see Mavis'' stubbornness. She then looked at Charles helplessly. Even he


    looked embarrassed at that moment. Hailey only hoped that he would help her to convince Mavis. He


    said to Mavis, "Mother, I think we can talk about helping Harper return to the Imperial Academy of


    Medicer. Thest few days have been very eventful. So we''d better keep a low key for the time


    being."


    "Then, let''s talk about Hailey''s request alsoter," Mavis said in a determined tone. "We can discuss it


    when you decide to deal with Harper''s matter."


    "Mother, what is the harm in recording Hailey as Kelly''s daughter? Harper will still be Kelly''s daughter


    too. It''s a good thing for us. I mentioned this to you even at the time when Harper was still a little kid.


    But you had refused it at that time. Now that they''ve already grown up, I think we should take a call on


    this. If Hailey continues to be considered as a concubine''s daughter, it''s not good for our reputation,"


    Charles continued. He did not give up and kept making efforts to convince Mavis. "I promise that I will


    be good to Harper no matter what."


    Mavis, however, merely turned her head away, paying no attention to Charles. She knew him better


    than anyone else. She was very well aware of the fact that Harper had been living a hard life in the Chu


    n mansion all these years. In the past, Harper used to be very naughty and unreasonable. So Mavis


    did not like her that much. But now, Harper had changed. She had grown up to be a mature and


    considerable girl. And Mavis felt that it was her duty to protect her at any cost.


    "Harper!" Charles called out to Harper in a stern voice. Failing to persuade Mavis, he turned to Harper,


    intending to threaten her to agree. But Harper still kept her head buried in Mavis'' arms. She did not


    even lift her head. He continued, "You''re old enough to make your own decisions. I hope that you can


    consider it carefully. As thedy of our mansion, you should be more considerate towards others."


    "She should be more considerate to others?" Mavis scorned at Charles. She let out a crooked smile.


    "You should say this to Hailey. As the elder sister, she should be the one who should be more


    considerate to her younger sister. I didn''t want to make things difficult for her. As long as she


    rmends Harper to regain her post as a physician, I will agree to have her recorded as Kelly''s


    daughter. Otherwise, no way!"


    "Mother, I will try my best to help Harper to return to the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Hailey is just a


    physician. I don''t think she is capable of convincing His Majesty. As long as you agree on it, I will try my


    best to help Harper regain her job as a physician!" Charles was far from resting herurels. He kept


    trying to convince Mavis.


    But Mavis did not fall into his trap. She remained unmoved. She was very well aware of Charles''


    credibility. She wouldn''t agree on it unless Harper sessfully returned to work in the Imperial


    Academy of Medicine.


    Charles was getting increasingly impatient with Mavis'' stubbornness. Ultimately, he left with Hailey at


    once. Seeing them leave, Mavis sighed and said, "Don''t worry, Harper. I won''t agree to their demand."


    "Grandma, I feel sorry for putting you in a dilemma," Harper said with red eyes. "I could allow Yvonne to


    be recorded as my mother''s daughter. But I can''t bear it if any of Lady Sue''s children is recorded as my


    mother''s child."


    "But my dear, can you tell me the reason?" Mavis was a little confused to hear Harper''s words.


    "Because my mother was dead because of Lady Sue. If Lady Sue hadn''t got pregnant before marriage,


    my mother would not have gone into depression and fallen ill, which eventually caused her death.


    Although I know Hailey is my sister, I just can''t bear to see her bing my mother''s daughter!"


    Harper replied in a somber tone. "Besides, Hailey and Howard were born before me. They ruined the


    reputation of the Chu n as well as that of my father! This is something I can''t tolerate as well."


    Mavis was left dumbfounded when she heard Harper''s words. She froze for a few moments. Then she


    pulled herself out of her thoughts and stroked Harper on her head, gently saying, "I got it. You can go


    back now. I will protect you. If you don''t agree, I will never allow them to have their way this time."


    "Thank you, Grandma. I''ll be leaving now. Goodbye."


    Even after Harper left, Mavis remained thoughtful. There was a hint of confusion in her eyes. "Annie,"


    she called out.


    "Yes, here I am. What can I do for you, My Lady?"


    "Do you remember when Sue gave birth to her children after she married into our mansion?" Mavis


    asked. She remembered that it was said that Sue delivered beforepleting her full-term pregnancy.


    Yet the kids never looked like premature babies.


    "Lady Sue delivered seven monthster, My Lady. Her children were born one month before Lady


    Harper was born," Annie answered firmly after she thought for a while. "At that time, everyone said that


    Lady Sue gave birth to premature babies. However, on the contrary, they seemed to be stronger than


    Lady Harper, who was born at full-term."


    "Harper just mentioned that Sue got pregnant before she married into our family..." Mavis frowned


    slightly. Deep inside her mind, apletely different concern was shaping up. She was now worried


    that if what Harper said was true, then were Hailey and Howard Charles'' own children? What if they


    were not?


    The moment this thought came to Mavis'' mind, she started to feel restless. She recalled that before


    Daniel, her youngest son, went missing, he had asked her to take good care of Harper. Slowly, as


    Mavis started thinking about the terrible things Sue had done in all these years, she became more and


    more suspicious.


    "No, Annie, I think something is weird. Go and check it carefully. I want to know everything in detail


    about Sue," Mavis ordered calmly. "Don''t let anyonee to know that I''m investigating it before things


    are clear."


    "Yes, My Lady."

    As Annie got involved in investigating what had happened in the past, Harper remained busy with her


    n. Now that she had sessfully nted the seed of suspicion in Mavis'' mind, Mavis would be


    more alert now. That way, Charles and Hailey would not be able to carry out their n so easily. Harper


    now wanted to look for someone who could threaten Charles. Taking charge of the family affairs in the


    Chu n mansion was not enough at all. Harper needed a helper.
