Chapter 938 The Lady Is Too Soft-Hearted (Part One)


    Part of the reason why Samuel was able to run away was because the Qin n let him escape on


    purpose. They wanted to know how much Felton meant to Harper so that they would know how to


    negotiate with her. With the way she worked, they knew that only when they had sufficient chips could


    they move on with any kind of negotiation.

    To the Qin n''s surprise, even after receiving Samuel''s message to save his master Felton, Harper


    didn''t take any action. Actually, they did the exact opposite: Harper and her husband hung out in the


    Phoenix City like a normal couple, as if Felton''s disappearance meant nothing to either of them.


    "Does Harper not care about Felton at all?" Beth asked, shocked and bewildered. She had initially


    thought that as soon as Harper heard that Felton was in trouble, she would immediately go to the Qin


    n''s mansion to save him, a scenario which Beth could take advantage of. With the way Harper was


    acting, it seemed like no negotiation would happen, and that she would let Felton rot wherever he was.


    "Little Harper," a voice called out as a figure draped in red cloak swooped down in front of Harper. This


    stunned Harper, and Matthew had to pull her away so that she wouldn''t get toppled by the unknown


    figure. Soon enough, they found out that it was only Daphne, and she was intending onnding on


    Harper.


    With Harper out of the way, Daphne almostnded on the ground. She quickly stood straight and


    red at Matthew. "What the hell are you doing, you stinky man?!"


    Without even sparing Daphne a nce, Matthew took a handmade wooden hairpin from the stand in


    front of them, handed it to Harper and said, "This is a beautiful one. Try it on."


    Harper obediently took the hairpin from Matthew''s hand and looked at it carefully. "This is very


    exquisite. Its craftsmanship is exceptional—a quality that is rare to see."


    Matthew nodded in agreement. Daphne was being ignored by the couple, intending not to let her join in


    their own conversation. "You are going too far, little Harper! You and your husband are bullying me!"


    she protested, pouting and donning a face contorted by frustration.


    With that, Harper sighed deeply and turned to her, her stare indifferent. She said, "You deserve it. Why


    do you still do that when I have told you many, many times not to do that! What if I wasn''t able to catch


    you? You could hurt somebody else, you know!"


    "No, I won''t. I know what I am doing. I believe that you''ll always be able to catch me," Daphne said, her


    previously sad face bing joyful. She leaned over to Harper and added in a low voice, "By the way,


    we''ve already uncovered clues about the Qin n. My brother asked me to tell you that the n is


    taking action now."


    "Yes, I already know that. Someone from the n itself came to our inn yesterday," Harper said in a


    calm tone. "The man said that the head of the Qin n wanted to see me. He even told me to visit her


    obediently."


    "Why is everyone in the Qin n so arrogant?" Daphne felt annoyed upon hearing what Harper said.


    Were the people of the Qin family stupid or what? Did they forget that Harper was now Matthew''s wife?


    Did they think that Matthew would not be able to do anything to them since they were hiding in Phoenix


    City? It should be known that if they irritated him, his three hundred thousand ck g Army soldiers


    would attack Phoenix City, and the city would have no choice but to hand them to Matthew in order to


    not to go into unnecessary battles.


    "Arrogant..." Harper pondered on the word carefully. ''That''s right. The Qin n is too arrogant. Maybe


    the people of the n thought that I am afraid of them because they are holding Felton hostage. That''s


    why they''re acting so unscrupulously,'' she thought. "Arrogance is good. It only means that they are


    capable," she outwardly continued.


    "But I think that they''re just a group of ipetent idiots," Daphnemented disdainfully. "We have


    found their foothold. My brother was nning to tell you in person, but he didn''t want to see the mean


    man that''s always by your side, so he sent me to inform you."


    "The foothold of the Qin n is not in the city, isn''t it?" Harper guessed. Suddenly, she noticed a weird


    person staring at them in the crowed. ''Beth!'' she eximed inwardly the moment she recognized her.


    She then prepared herself for the iing danger as a sneer crept into the corners of her lips. On one


    hand, the Qin n wanted to deal with her; on the other hand, it also wanted to take advantage of her.


    If she was still the isted and helpless Harper in the Chu n''s mansion, she might surrender to


    them easily, but she wasn''t that girl anymore.


    Now that she found her own strength, and had a husband that would back her no matter what


    happened, she felt confident. If the Qin n thought that they could deal with her easily, they were


    completely wrong. But what was keeping her more interested was the identity of the person who


    instigated the Qin n. If no one instigated the leader of the n, they would not dare trouble her like


    this.


    "Harper, did you hear me?" Daphne said, sounding a little annoyed when she noticed that Harper was


    not listening to her. "My brother has found out something, but he is not sure about it yet. But he asked


    me to tell you to be careful."


    Harper got out of her head and nodded, saying, "I''m sorry I got you into so much trouble."


    "Indeed, you have brought us so much trouble!" Daphne said awkwardly. "But we''re already used to it."


    "Murderous auras all around," Matthew suddenly reminded and approached Harper to protect her. On


    the busy street, they actually felt the murderous auras. Who were they? From the Qin n or other


    forces?
