Chapter 810 The Eighty Percent Probability (Part Two)


    "That''s it. I can''t go back to the imperial capital with you for the time being. Wendy is recuperating in the


    south region right now. I''m going there to pick her up and take her back to the imperial capital. Please


    go ahead and proceed to the capital without me so you can have time to prepare. As soon as we arrive


    in the imperial capital, we''lle to you for the treatment," Shawn said while he stood up, preparing


    right then to go out.


    "There is no need to hurry—"


    "Wendy doesn''t have much time left, so if you said that there''s a chance that we can extend her life, I


    don''t think I can wait. Thank you, Your Highness," Shawn said to Harper with a gentle smile.


    After that, he jumped off the carriage, mounted his horse, and left the envoy team with his deputy


    general in a few heartbeats. They headed for the south as fast as they could. Harper lifted the curtain


    and looked at the direction that they went to. With gentle eyes, she watched Shawn''s receding figure


    until she couldn''t see him anymore. "Darling, it seems like Marquis Shawn is getting more and more


    decisive," she said.


    "He''s always been decisive. You just didn''t know it until now," Matthew said while he put down the


    curtain. What Shawn said was true. There wasn''t much time left for Wendy. If she could maintain a


    calm and peaceful state of mind, she could certainly live a few more years. Unfortunately, it seemed


    like everybody in the Shen n had already given up on her. They even sent her to the south to


    recuperate in hopes that she could live for a few more years in there.


    "Why do I always feel like you know some secrets that you don''t tell me? Do you want this Wendy to be


    a member of your mansion?" Harper asked with a smile.

    "Why not? After all, none of my personal guards are married yet. Speaking of which, when are you


    going to let Nina get married to Barry? This boy has been eagerly waiting for so long. He''s too shy to


    ask you about it. As the hostess of my mansion, you can''t ignore his wish," Matthew inly said.


    There was a twinkle in Harper''s eyes. "When we go back this time, I''m going to let Nina marry him. Tell


    that man to prepare the betrothal presents first. If what he arranges doesn''t satisfy me, I won''t let Nina


    marry him that easily."


    "Barry, did you hear what Lady Harper just said?" Matthew called out.


    "Your Highnesses, indeed, I''ve heard what you said. Actually, I''ve already prepared the betrothal


    presents for Nina a long time ago. I had just been waiting for Your Highnesses'' approval." Barry''s voice


    sounded quite calm. But Jack, who was sitting next to him, could clearly see that his hands were


    shaking and the calm facade on his face was about to copse at any moment. Barry was just trying


    his best to keep aposed demeanor.


    Taking the bridle from Barry''s hands, Jack said, "It''s obvious that you feel so happy, so why don''t you


    laugh real loud? Why are you restraining yourself? We won''t mock you."


    Barry smiled at that. However, it was hard to tell if he was really smiling because the smile on his face


    was so faint. But Jack was well aware that Barry was very happy. Many people knew that Barry had


    fallen in love with Nina, who was attentive and considerate. However, since Matthew and Harper had


    never expressed their opinion about their rtionship, the lovers had never openly shown their


    affections to each other.


    "Is Jack interested in anyone?" Harper asked all of a sudden. Upon hearing that, Jack instantly


    straightened his back and froze on the spot. After a while, he giggled and said,


    "Your Highness, I am not interested in any girl at the moment. Once I fall in love with someone, I''ll tell


    you right away and marry her as soon as possible. You can be sure that I won''t be as indifferent as


    Barry who''s like a piece of wood. If I act toote and the girl I love is taken away by someone else, the


    only thing I can do is to regret," Jack dutifully eximed.


    "You''re so frivolous. You never take anything seriously. How can any girl like you? Girls will only think


    that you''re too funny and yful," Fred chimed in.


    "Damn you, Fred! Are you making fun of me? Go to hell! You know what, I''m a very handsome man. A


    lot of girls will fight each other just to marry me," Jack furiously cursed him, trying to defend himself.


    "Oh, really? Well, I haven''t seen a girl show interest in you. I only heard that Anabel once told Angelica


    to stay away from you in a very disgusted tone," Fred responded indifferently.


    Jack was instantly annoyed at that. "No way! Angelica is actually infatuated with me. Nothing but some


    sweet words can win her heart. She will fall so madly in love with me. Just you wait and she will


    be so determined to marry me once I say such words to her."


    When she heard those ims, Harper shot Matthew a dangerous re and said, "Is it so easy to win


    the hearts of my maids? How can they be fooled by a few sweet words?"


    "I didn''t say that. If it were so easy to win a girl''s heart, I wouldn''t have bothered to make a lot of effort


    in the first ce," Matthew firmly said right away, disassociating himself from the issue.


    "When you reprimand a dog, you should take its owner into consideration. So when he tries to fool my


    maids, does he respect me, their master?" Harper asked again. This time her voice was cold and


    deafening. Upon hearing that, Jack instantly sunk into his seat, making himself as small as possible.


    His energy subsided as well.


    "No, no, your humble servants were just fooling around. Please don''t take it to heart, Your Highness. It


    was just a metaphor. I just wanted to say that everybody will love me as soon as they see me," Jack


    hastily exined.


    "I think everybody will want to hit you as soon as they see you. How dare you use a metaphor with my


    maids? Do you think it''s easy to push them around?" Harper said, refusing to let it go.


    "No, no, that''s not what I meant. Of course, it''s not easy to push them around," Jack exined. He felt


    like weeping but no tears came out of his eyes. Instead, he cast a re on Fred, who in his opinion


    was to me for their current predicament. Jack thought that if it weren''t for him, he would not have


    offended Harper. Everyone in Matthew''s mansion knew that they would rather offend Matthew than


    Harper. If they offended Matthew, they would be tortured to half death at the worst, but if they offended


    Harper, they would wish that they were dead instead.


    "Your Highness, it was all my fault. Please forgive me. I won''t do it again," Jack apologized with so


    much conviction. He knew it was useless to reason with Harper, because she had never been


    reasonable once she set her mind on something.
