Chapter 937 Asking For Help
Beth trembled with anger as she was forced out of the Joy Inn "Shame on you! Do you really think it''s
only you the Qin n can rely on? Just wait and see. You wille begging us someday."
Matthew stood by the window and watched Beth disappear into the crowd. His tone was serious when
he said, "Harp, the Qin n should still be in Phoenix City, but they are hiding somewhere. This time
they came to you, and maybe it''s to gauge your limits."
"I agree. But I''m curious to know what drove them to this. After all these years, they should have known
by now that I''m not the one who will makepromise easily." Something had been confusing Harper.
If Rndo was a threat to the Qin n, they would havee back after he escaped. But why were
they hiding? Did his escape endanger them? Or was there something else going on?
"You''ll find out soon enough." With how powerful Harper was now, Matthew didn''t think the Qin n
would give up. They must have some hidden ns to exploit her with.
Killing intent stormed out of Matthew as he thought of how the Qin n nned to take advantage of
his wife. He wouldn''t allow anyone to use her or bully her.
Harper frowned. "I am wondering if Felton..."
"If Felton behaves like the rest of the Qin n, I will kill them all and start with him. You have been too
tolerant of them. You should treat them the way you treated the Chu n. Then, the Qin n wouldn''t
dare to be so presumptuous with you." Matthew''s voice was cold and cruel.
Staring at him, Harper asked, "Do you think I''m that soft-hearted?"
"It''s not that you are soft-hearted. You just blindly believe in the Qin n. You know nothing about
them. Excluding Felton, do you know any of the other power holders of the Qin n?" Matthew looked
at Harper and asked seriously. He knew she wasn''t reckless enough to decide to help the Qin n
without knowing all their history and background.
Harper smiled indifferently. "Darling, I have you. Besides, I''m not interested in any members of the Qin
n except Felton, so there is no need for me to contact them. I helped the n for Felton''s sake. It
was mutually beneficial. The Qin n provided me with the information I wanted and I found a solution.
After all, just like them, I need to solve the whole matter."
"What would you do if Felton betrays you and sides with the other members of the Qin n?" Matthew
asked calmly, looking into Harper''s eyes. If Harper showed any sign of hurt over such a thing
happening, he would help her get rid of Felton.
Harper replied sullenly, "Then we will no longer be friends."
"It''s good that you ept that." Even though Matthew thought it was a cruel thing to say that, he still
had to remind Harper. Over the years, she was getting soft-hearted.
Harper lowered her head, deep in thought. She realized that she had been too kind over the years. She
had never rejected the Qin n''s requests, nor revealed that she''d had any contact with them. When
they met in public, she pretended she didn''t know Felton to avoid exposing the traces of the Qin n.
But now it seemed that her thoughtfulness had backfired. It became the reason for the Qin n''s
members, those who had been hiding in the darkness all year round, to act shamelessly.
A little after midnight, a man fell into Harper''s room. Instead of fighting, Matthew lit a candle in the room
and said, "I didn''t expect you toe so soon."

The man was dressed in a night suit, looking badly injured. He looked from Harper''s sleeping form to
Matthew. "Stop staring at her. I knew someone from the Qin n woulde, so I put her to sleep,
and she won''t be waking up anytime soon."
The man took off the mask and showed a pale but familiar face. "Your Highness, I''m Samuel, Master
Felton''s servant. We have met before."
"So, where is Felton?" Matthew asked gloomily. "Using my wife is a serious crime. You know I can''t
tolerate anyone hurting her, either physically or emotionally. In my book, it''s unforgivable to even make
her a little sad."
The corners of Samuel''s mouth twitched. In his mind, the prince was too domineering. But he didn''t
dare say that right now.
"Lady Victoria, the olddy of the Qin n, has put him under house arrest." Samuel took a deep
breath. "Master Felton is in poor health, but Lady Victoria won''t let him out. There is no doubt he''ll die if
he continues like this."
"Why is the Qin n treating him like this?" Matthew asked indifferently. He wasn''t interested in the Qin
n. His only interest was his wife, so he had to protect her from those who would mean her harm.
Samuel sighed helplessly. "The inner works of the Qin n aren''t as harmonious as they seem. Living
in darkness for twenty years destroyed the n''s original morals and purpose. Although Master Felton
is one of the inheritors, his weak body has left him incapable of ruling the whole n. So Lady Victoria
appointed Dous, her second grandson, to be the heir. His followers have different ideas from Master
Felton''s. And Master Felton often traveled outside. That''s why things are what they are today."
"That is to say, the Qin n has split."
"No. Master Felton has been pushed aside." Samuel covered his wound and pleaded, "Your Highness,
please save my master. He is imprisoned because he doesn''t want to betray your wife."
"Oh... Is that so? People from the Qin n are so interesting. I didn''t want to get involved in their
affairs at first, but now it seems that I should pay them a visit." Matthew smirked.
"Your Highness, Princess Harper..."
Matthew nced at Harper, who was still in a sound sleep. "She is sleeping. You better leave her
alone. Since you can''t go back to the Qin n, just stay here. As for Felton, she will bring him back."
"The Qin n has been hiding for twenty years. Things aren''t simple as they look. In these years, it
wasn''t just Master Felton who left the nest for their own agenda. Your Highness, please remind
Princess Harper that the Qin n is not her family," Samuel said with some difficulty. The Qin n was
definitely not Harper''s family.
Matthew''s face finally changed. "Don''t worry. My wife has never regarded them as her family, but it''s
only Felton she trusts. That''s why I asked you about him. Otherwise, I would have killed you straight
away."
Cold sweat began to trickle down Samuel''s forehead. He couldn''t help but feel lucky that they had
always been on Harper''s side. They would have died if it wasn''t for that.
"I don''t know who is behind Dous. Some mysterious force is supporting him." Samuel set his mind at
ease. Since his master decided to side with Harper, all they needed to do was give up on the Qin n.
It was worthless to them anyway.
Matthew was very satisfied with Samuel''s perception of the situation. He called a servant and said,
"Help him with his wound."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Matthew called off the rest of the servants, and went back to bed. Tomorrow, the Qin n would
probably send someone else. As for who that would be, he didn''t know. It might be the second young
master of the Qin n, Dous Qin.
When Harper woke up in the morning, she saw Matthew setting up the breakfast on the table. "You are
awake. Get up and wash yourself. Guests will be arriving today."
Harper got up from bed and went to wash up. In the washroom, she found that Matthew had already
prepared the hot water for her. "You made me sleepst night?"
"Yeah. I was worried that you wouldn''t be able to sleep well, so I hit your sleeping acupuncture point."
Matthew was not embarrassed after his trick was found out. "Besides, you had refused the Qin n. I
worried that they would wake you up in the middle of the night."
"So, someone from the Qin n camest night. Who was it?" After washing her face, Harper went
back to the room and took a bowl from Matthew. She sat at the table and asked, "Was it a killer?"
"A man escaped from the Qin n. Guess who it was," Matthew asked while eating a bowl of porridge.
"Samuel." Harper picked up a steamed stuffed bun for Matthew and said, "This bun tastes good. Try it."
"You anticipated this earlier, right?" Matthew asked slowly, taking a bite of the steamed bun.
"There are only two people who might flee from the Qin n. One is Felton, and the other is Samuel.
Felton is in a prominent position, and he must be under close guard. So it must have been Samuel who
managed to escape. He is a member of the Qin n, but loyal only to Felton. If he came to me, it
means that Felton is in danger." Harper put down her bowl and chopsticks. "It appears I will have to pay
the Qin n a visit."
"There''s no hurry." Matthew put down the tableware too. "You are eating three times faster than you
normally do. You are too rushed."
Harper froze. She was a little anxious and so worried about Felton''s safety that it showed in how
quickly she was eating. She sighed helplessly. "I''m just afraid of what might happen to Felton. He is
already in poor health."
"Being hasty in this matter will only cause more problems to arise." Matthew handed over a white
handkerchief and said, "How about we take a walk in Phoenix City today? I haven''t hang around the
city yet. Besides, I want to show those keeping watch over us that we don''t care about the Qin n."
Harper pped her hands and said, "That''s a good idea. How about asking Darren and Daphne to join
us?"
"Absolutely not!" Matthew''s vehement response came so quickly that she had to backtrack. Darren
made Matthew ufortable every time they met. Even Rndo didn''t make him feel that way. His
deep hostility against Darren was something she didn''t understand. "Today, only the two of
us."
