Chapter 257 I Have No Regrets (Part Two)


    "Don''t worry about anything, okay? I''ll make sure to protect your mansion with all my might until you


    wake up."


    It took some time to prepare everything before Harper was finally ready to enter the prison and confront


    Denny. But when Johnson and his daughter sighted her, they were immediately furious. "Harper Chu,


    how dare you show your face to us! You deliberately gave us the wrong way to detoxify His Highness.


    You were plotting to destroy our reputation and disgrace us!"


    Without even taking a look at them, Harper turned to Denny and said, "Matthew''s toxins in his body


    broke out. He would die if we can''t detoxify him before sunset."


    Denny paled slightly at her words. He knew that there was only one way out of that situation now:


    Matthew was going to die, unless he was somehow cured. And yet he was now powerless to do


    anything about it. There was nothing else he could do.


    "Denny, I need your help," Harper murmured softly, her eyes intent.


    "Denny, don''t you dare put any trust in this conniving woman," Johnson retorted. "She''s only trying to


    use you for her own gain!" He wasn''t about to stand there and let Harper have her way.


    "My help? How? To take the me instead of you?" Denny snapped, mocking.


    Harper only replied calmly, "There is an aphrodisiac added to Matthew''s medicated bath. Did you put


    that into the bath because you fell in love with him? Or did you want to lead him to another woman''s


    bed?"


    "Aphrodisiac? I don''t know about anything like that!" Denny denied immediately. "The detoxifying


    process is incredibly delicate and needs absolute caution. I wouldn''t interfere with it with anything like


    that."All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "So it wasn''t you, then? Then who could it be?" Harper now leveled her gaze at Johnson and his


    daughter. "You were the one who prepared the medical materials, weren''t you? And you prepared the


    medicated bath. Only the three of you were present during that time. This only means that one of you


    drugged him, causing the toxins in his body to lose stability and go out of control."


    Almost immediately, Johnson knew in his heart that it could be none other than his own daughter that


    had drugged Matthew. Denny found himselfing to the same conclusion. But as he looked up to


    gaze at the father and daughter, he saw Rena''s eyes swiftly look away with guilt. And it dawned upon


    him what had actually taken ce: Rena had drugged Matthew, trying to get him to have sex with her,


    and ensnare him in such a way that he could never abandon her. She was the one who ruined the


    whole process.


    "Rena...was it you?"


    "No, I didn''t do anything! How could I have possibly done such a thing?! Denny, don''t listen to that


    woman''s nonsense!" Color soared into Rena''s face. There was no way that she could confess to such


    an outrage. It would only drive home the fact that Matthew would never marry her.


    "Honestly, I don''t care who did this anymore. But I want all of you to know: If anything happens to


    Matthew, you will all die on the spot. Denny, Matthew has treated you like his own brother, and yet


    you''d sit by, condoning his murder for the sake of your own private affairs. What a wonderful brother


    you are to him!" Harper sneered coldly.


    "No, I didn''t..." Denny started to fluster, unable toe up with an answer to save him from the truth.


    He knew the writing was on the wall. If he hadn''t insisted on bringing Rena into this, Matthew would


    never have ended up this way. Defeated, he stammered, "Do you have a way to save His Highness


    somehow?"


    "Yes, I have. But I''m going to need your help," Harper said. "But to be perfectly honest, if you''re not


    able to distinguish between right and wrong, I don''t dare allow you to help me!"


    "I swear, I won''t act recklessly in any way. I''ll do whatever it takes to save His Highness." Denny''s tone


    was pleading, emotion wrenched in every word as he looked up. "Barry, please. Help me convince her


    to show me mercy. I just want to save His Highness while there''s still a chance!"


    Standing behind Harper, Barry said coldly, "His Highness has made his orders clear: If anything were to


    happen to him, Her Highness would be the one in charge of making the decisions in the mansion."


    Denny stood rooted to the spot, astonished. Matthew''s trust had been stripped away from him. The


    reason Harper wasn''t allowed to take part in the detoxifying and the reason he agreed so easily, as it


    turned out, was to protect her. Did Matthew somehow foresee that something unscrupulous would be


    afoot?


    "Release him," Harper thenmanded. Gazing down at Denny''s disheveled, small frame, she


    stretched out her hand. A red pilly upon it, and she held it out to him. "Take it."


    "What''s this?"


    "Lethal Seven. This pill will kill you in seven days," Harper responded dispassionately. "If the treatment


    goes well and ording to n, Matthew will wake up in seven days. And if he wakes up, then you can


    have the antidote to save your own life. Otherwise, I''ll have all of you killed and torn to pieces. Before


    that though, I might have Rena hurled into the military camp for their use. You know what I mean."


    "You insidious bitch!!" Johnson was foaming with rage. Rena might have remained blissfully ignorant of


    what Harper was implying, but there was no doubt that every man there knew what she was saying.


    After she was thrown into a military camp of nothing but savage men, they were going to end up


    ravaging her.


    "Johnson Leng, I''m afraid that I''m not the type of person that tolerates that kind ofnguage. If I hear


    any more of those words from you, I''ll have them cut your tongue off!" Harper coldly snapped. "Do you


    realize what position you''re in right now?! You and your daughter have endangered my husband''s life!


    Instead of examining your own guilt and conscience, you choose to insult me. Don''t take me for a weak


    woman, as you''ll find you''re sorely mistaken. The imperial capital is not your own personal Medical


    Valley that bows to your will and you''ve free reign to do harm as you wish. I suggest that you not dare


    act entitled here."


    Rena was just about to retort right back but Johnson immediately stopped her. There was no doubt that


    Harper was going true to her word. She had every intention of killing them, and if they were to go too


    far, she might just have itmanded in a second.


    Finally, Denny picked up the poison pill and swallowed it with a determined expression. "I''m holding to


    my word. I''ve taken the pill. Now tell me what you want me to do next."
