Chapter 943
"But it looks exactly the same as the record..."
"I said it's not. Then, it's not!" Victoria snapped in a tough tone. Then she turned to the couple on the roof and said, "Your
Highnesses, you are so arrogant. You have broken into our house rudely. We'll not let you off easily. You'd better let go of
Douglas and Felton."
After putting away the last needle and putting on clothes for Felton, Harper stood up with Matthew, looked down at the all the
people below and said sternly,
"That year, you must have betrayed the Qin Clan in the imperial capital. Otherwise, you couldn't have lived till now." Her sudden
words shocked everyone on the spot. "You are all traitors!"
"No!" Victoria denied agitatedly. "We didn't."
"The top ten elders of the Qin Clan are here, which is the best proof," Harper said slowly as she pointed at the top ten elders.
"The top ten elders were not allowed to give up their master to protect a mistress living outside our mansion, so it meant that
they also betrayed their master."
"Nonsense!" the chief elder retorted. "We didn't betray the Qin Clan."
"Then how are you going to explain why you attacked me, a legitimate granddaughter of Qin Clan's master?" Harper questioned
grimly. "Do you think the concubine's son can replace the wife's child as the master of the Qin Clan just because the wife doesn't
have a son?"
The chief elder was choked. "Your Highness, I attacked you because I thought there was an enemy invasion. I didn't know it was
you." Harper smiled indifferently and said, "If so, I can get out of here now, right?" "Of course," the chief elder said
subconsciously, but he felt something was wrong as soon as he finished his words. How could he say that Harper could leave? It
was a great chance, a chance to keep her, but they couldn't take action rashly, because the two young masters of the Qin Clan
were both in her hands now. They had thought Felton was not important to Harper, and she would hesitate in her attacks against
them at most if they held Felton as the hostage. However, they were wrong. Felton meant so much to her that she even risked
her life to break into the foothold of Qin Clan for him.
"In that case, I'm leaving now," Harper said with a grin. Matthew lifted up Douglas and sat on Patrick's back. Patrick moved as
fast as lightning and disappeared in front of everyone. "Go after them." "We don't have to," Victoria said calmly. "As long as
Felton is alive, Douglas will be fine. He will protect Douglas." "But, Mother, I'm afraid that Felton is unable to stop Matthew from
doing what he wants to do!" Beth said anxiously as she was
so worried. After all, Douglas was her son, but Felton wasn't.
"Harper took the risk and broke into our house with her husband to save Felton. It is obvious that she values her cousin a lot.
Although they may not listen to every word Felton says, they will keep Douglas alive if Felton wants to protect Douglas," Mavis
said calmly with no expression on her face. She believed that Felton would definitely save Douglas.
"Mother, but what if Felton is unwilling to help Douglas?"
"He will!" Victoria said in an affirmative tone. "After all, he is also a member of the Qin Clan. He knows his mission as a member
of our clan. The only thing I'm worried about now is what Harper will do. She is heartless and cruel. She wasn't soft-hearted to
the person who brought her up, let alone us who seldom get along with her." "Then, Mother, we can't give Douglas to her!" Beth
became even more anxious. "Mother, please save Douglas. He is my only son." Victoria didn't respond. They had no bargaining
chip with Harper up to now, so they had to accept it. They didn't have a chance before Harper made a request. The key point
was, how they could rescue Douglas from Harper and realize their original purpose
at the same time.
"You may leave now. Leave the thing to me," Victoria comforted her daughter-in-law. "Douglas will be fine."
"Mother, will Douglas really be fine?" Beth didn't believe what Victoria said. She couldn't be more aware that in the eyes of
Victoria, whether it was Felton or Douglas, they were only something that could be used to sacrifice.
"Douglas will be fine," Victoria said decisively. Even if he was not fine, it didn't matter. As long as she could get what she wanted
most, she would be satisfied. In the past twenty years, she had been living in darkness and struggling hard for the thing she
wanted. Now that she finally came close to her goal, she would never give up.
Victoria went back to her room and wrote a letter. She let the carrier pigeon send out the letter for her. Now she needed to have
a meeting with Harper. Harper was so powerful. Also, Qin Clan had offended her and lost their best chip, Felton. Thus, it was
almost impossible for them to get the Sacred Seal from her. So Victoria had to take another way.
When Harper sneaked into the house of Qin Clan, the former emperor Rolando was running for his life. He had always thought
that in the world only Matthew could compete with him. But he forgot that there were more outstanding people than him.
Especially in Phoenix City, it was a secret place full of strong masters. And since the Qin Clan had been hiding in the city for
many years, there were countless people who cast greedy eyes on the precious staff owned by the clan!
"Oh, crap! I made such a mistake!" Rolando was annoyed with himself. The first decision he had made to give up the Great Jade
Kingdom and go to the Phoenix City was wrong. If he were still holding his military power, he would not be so passive now. If he
could escape successfully this time, he would have to think of a safe way to protect himself and get the thing from the Qin Clan
at the same time!
