Chapter 119 Match Making (Part Two)
Although Harper put up a question, she knew her father was almost convinced of what she said. He
always wanted a son with noble status. The noble identity of Nicole would also be helpful if he wanted
to pursue a better future for his children. They would be known as the children of Nicoleter, which
was superb. Moreover, with the support of Allen, the rise in his own career would be meteoric. So, of
course, Charles would agree with this suggestion.
"How do you n to sound her out?" Charles asked sounding excited.
"I have my own ways, Father. If you believe in me, just leave it to me. If Princess Nicole agrees,
Grandma, you will have to handle the wedding personally. After all, Princess Nicole is a very noble
person. She needs special attention and honor that only you can give her." Harper tried to convince
Mavis with a pleading face.
Mavis nodded her head and said with a smile, "If Princess Nicole agrees to marry your father, I will take
charge of the wedding personally. So you go and sound her out first."

"Don''t worry Grandma, I''llplete the mission sessfully." Harper gave her words in a determined
tone. She smiled in her mind thinking that Charles'' marriage with the princess will close every single
path for Sue turning the tables. And as far as Hailey was concerned, it looked like she would have to
make a new appeal to be registered as the child of their stepmother, and that too only if their
stepmother agreed to take her as her daughter. The very next step for Harper was to find someone
who could help her.
Harper dressed up as a man and took Elsie out. When they were wandering about the street, they were
stopped by a man.
"Hey, Harrell, where have you been ofte?" The young man approached them and put his arm around
Harper''s neck "I haven''t seen you around for a long time. I''ve searched every corner of the imperial
capital for you. Now I am d to have found you finally. Let''s have dinner together."
"Hi, Carlson! It''s been a long time since west met," Harper said. It was Carlson that she was looking
for. She felt exhrated to find him within just a few steps from the Chu n mansion.
"Harrell, you told me that you wanted to run a store," Carlson said looking puzzled. "Why haven''t you
done anything about it as yet?"
"The most profitable business these days is casinos and brothels. But as you know, setting up a casino
or a brothel in the imperial capital is not easy," Harper replied with a smile. She had initially nned to
open a shop and sell the products she had developed. But she had started working with the masked
man. She just used this excuse to fool Carlson.
The mere mention of casinos and brothels immediately discouraged Carlson. "My father doesn''t allow
me to go to these ces. If he knew that I run a casino or brothel, he would ask someone to destroy
the ce."
"So I have to give up the idea. I will definitely ask you for help when I think of a good project." Harper
rolled her head to free her neck out from his arm. She was half a head shorter than Carlson. It was
really awful to have his arm around her neck.
Even Carlson could feel that having his arm around Harper''s neck made her ufortable. "Harrell,
where is your home? I would like to visit you when I have time."
Harper touched her nose to cover her indecisiveness. She found it difficult to imagine the reaction of
people in the Chu n if Carlson, Prince Allen''s favored son, ended up visiting the Chu n mansion.
What would they think? It wouldn''t be surprising enough if they packed her off to Prince Allen''s
mansion as a gift.
"I hope you don''t mind Carlson. But my father is very strict with me. I''m always forbidden to go out.
Even today, I sneaked out. If youe to see me, my family wille to know that I always sneak out.
He may break my legs," Harper said looking scared.
Carlson did not want to make trouble for her, so they found a restaurant nearby and sat down. "I can
understand. It''s really hard for you, just like my elder brother. He shoulders the responsibility of the
entire family. He never smiles or says anything funny all day long. Ah, I really don''t know why he has to
live such a boring life."
Harper paused for a while and said, "You have a very loving and protective father and brother. I must
say, you are very lucky."
"Now you are sounding jealous. Aren''t your father and siblings good to you?" Carlson asked, poking
her with his elbow.
Harper just let out a faint smile. She tried to contain the bitterness in her heart thinking that she never
expected them to be nice to her. She just hoped that they wouldn''t hurt her. But even this small wish
seemed to be too much to expect from them.
"Carlson, can I ask you for a favor?" With the mention of her family, Harper was reminded of the real
purpose that had made her step out of the Chu n in the first ce.
"Just tell me. As long as it is within my means, I will definitely help you," Carlson said without hesitation.
"Tell me. What do you need me to do for you?"
"I want to inquire about a person."
"Who is it? Tell me. There is nobody in imperial capital that I can''t get in touch with." Carlson vouched
for himself patting on his chest.
"Of course. I am sure, you must know this person."
"Oh, who is it?" Carlson asked as his curiosity surged.
"You know her very well. She is your aunt, Princess Nicole." Harper raised her brows and smiled. "I
want to y a matchmaker for her."
