Harper froze, staring at Kate in shock. "Your Highness, what have I done to you?" Her bottom lip trembled as she spoke. "Why
are you trying to accuse me of something I didn't even do?"
"You dare talk back? You wretched bitch!" Katie threw a letter at her face. "See for yourself. It's the evidence that you asked him
out."
The letter fell to the floor, and Harper picked it up. The person who wrote the letter asked Hansen to meet her in the Spring
Restaurant. Under the message was her signature, yet she wasn't the one who had written it. Harper looked up calmly. "I didn't
write it."
"Of course you didn't!" Kate scoffed. "As cunning as you are, you probably asked someone else to write the letter. You just asked
some maid to write for you!" Kate was dead-set on believing that Harper was behind this. No matter what Harper would say or
would try to prove, she wouldn't even listen. The humiliation she had gone through after Hansen had called off the engagement,
was her motive to seek revenge on her son.
"Your Highness, you have to believe me. I didn't write it, and besides, we've never talked since the incident. Even if I did, he
wouldn't trust me enough to agree to meet with me," Harper responded. "There must be something behind this, Your Highness.
Please, I don't know what happened, but I assure you I have nothing to do with it. Please find out the truth."
Kate could only sneer in reply. "Do you really think I'll convict you with just that letter? Don't you remember that you've also sent
your maid to deliver a letter to our mansion?"
"I didn't send any maid," Harper retorted. "The Chu Clan and your family are at odds with each other because of Yvonne's death.
I'm sure you're aware of that. There's absolutely no way I could've done such a thing!"
"No? Would you dare call in your maids?" Kate snapped, tilting her chin high up in the air. After finding the other proof that she
needed, she would let Harper pay for what she had done to her son.
"I dare." Harper took a step forward, narrowing her eyes. "What if I'm innocent?"
"I'll apologize to you myself." Kate crossed her arms. It couldn't be anyone else. Besides, Hansen had humiliated her and
destroyed her reputation. It was a motive—an anger that couldn't be quenched. However, what she didn't expect was for the
bitch to actually go through with the action! If she wasn't convicted now, she would still feel the past holding her back. Her son
deserved justice.
"You said it yourself, Your Highness." Harper turned to Mavis. "Grandma, send Nanny Annie over to take all the maids working in
my house. Your Highness, in order to avoid any more scuffle, send one of your people to accompany her."
Kate nodded. "Linda, go with her."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Annie and Linda obediently went to Harper's house to bring over the maids. While that was happening, Harper was in the center
of the hall with tears welling up in her eyes. People couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Before long, they had already returned with seven maids in tow. As Kate saw them, she furrowed her eyebrows. "These are all
the maids?"
"Yes, Your Highness. We've brought them all here," Linda replied with a long face.
"Harper Chu, are you lying to me? As the daughter of Prime Minister's first wife, you should have at least ten servants. And all
you have are seven?" Kate frowned, glancing at each and every one of them.
Harper gritted her teeth as her hands balled into fists. "Everyone in my clan knows that I only had four maids. Grandma doted on
me, so she sent me another three. What you see now are all my maids."
Upon hearing this, Kate turned to look at Charles in surprise. The latter looked embarrassed. Mavis knew the total number of
servants in the Chu Clan and how many maids Harper had clearly. "It's true," said Mavis.
Sue had finally come out of unconsciousness. When she saw Kate standing over the maids, she reached out to lunge at her. But
she was held back by Ruby.
Kate glanced at each and every one of them. They looked decent, at least. She turned to the manservant at her side. "Go on.
Look for the one who delivered the letter to Hansen!"
The manservant stepped forward and looked at all their faces. After a few minutes, he stopped and shook his head. "She isn't
here, Your Highness."
"What do you mean she isn't here? Look again!" Kate ordered, not believing what he had just said.
"I've checked them all, Your Highness. The girl who delivered the letter has a mole on the corner of her mouth, plus she is
shorter than the others," the manservant answered decisively. "No. She is not one of them."
When Felicia heard the description of the maid, she buried her face deeper into Sue's arms so no one could see her frightened
expression. At that moment, all she wanted was for Kate to leave. If she found out that it was her maid who had sent the letter,
hell would break lose.
Sue didn't know what was happening around her until Ruby told her a more general story of what was going on. She frowned. It
wasn't a good idea for Harper to keep getting herself involved in these things.
Harper tilted her head. "Since your target isn't one of my maids, why don't you try checking out Felicia's as well?"
"Hasn't your sister suffered enough? You want to accuse her of this as well?" Sue sneered. Though she was angry at Felicia for
fooling around with a man in public, Felicia was still her daughter, and she adored her.
"Mother, I only asked for Felicia's maids to prove her innocence. If she didn't do it, then it must be done by an imposter!" Harper
insisted. "Besides, it was Felicia who got involved in the first place and met with His Highness. It would be reasonable to check
her maids."
