Forensic Imperial Concubine

Chapter 81 Who Was The Fiend (Part Two)

Felicia gritted her teeth, wanting nothing more than to tell Harper to shut up. If her maids were brought here, everyone would know her secret. However, Kate didn't bother to let her speak. She immediately waved to her people to summon Felicia's maids. It seemed as if the tension in the air had grown thicker as they waited.

As they all lined up, the manservant looked at every one of them before stopping his gaze at Helen. "Your Highness," he said. "It's her. She delivered the message."

Kate whirled around, gnashing her teeth at the mother-and-daughter duo. "Sue, I believe the truth has been finally set free. What else do you want to add?"

Sue stood up. "The maid may work for my daughter, but that doesn't mean Felicia was behind all of this!" She stomped over to the maid. "Tell me, bitch! Who instigated you to frame my daughter?"

"Lady Sue, no, no! I'm innocent!" Helen was so frightened that she fell to her knees. All she did was follow Felicia's orders to send the letter to Prince Kevin's mansion. How had it come to this mess?

"Arrest her now!" Kate ordered at once. The guards marched over and grabbed her forearms, gripping the fabric of her clothes tightly. Helen trembled with fear when she saw Sue glaring at her as if she would eat her alive at any time. She turned to Kate.

"No, it's not me! Lady Felicia asked me to do it! She asked me to deliver the letter! I just did what I was ordered to do!" Helen screamed, shaking her arms. However, it only caused for the grip around her to tighten.

"Shut up, you bitch!" Sue's face was already tomato red. As long as Felicia wasn't proven guilty, there was always a way out. If she was cornered now, the only thing she would do might be praying for a sweeter death sentence for Felicia. "How dare you lie right in front of our faces! Guards, drag her down and beat her to death!"

"You want to kill her to keep your secrets?" Kate trailed her fingers around the strands of the maid's hair before pulling it to the ground. "Tell me what happened, or your death would be briefly followed by your family."

Helen gasped for air as she screamed in pain. "It was Lady Felicia! She asked me to tell your son that Lady Harper wanted to meet him! As for the rest, I know nothing."

Harper staggered backward as the alarming news set off the household. "Why? Why did Felicia ask you to do that?"

"Bitch!" Sue kicked Helen, causing the maid to arch her back in pain. Kate, however, clenched Sue's jaw, slapping her right in the face. She cursed as she brought her hand to Sue's cheek once more. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"You're the bitches! Both of you and your daughter! Look what you've done to my son! You've destroyed him, and he is now sexual impotence. I will never let the Chu Clan go!"

The place was a mess with the two ladies stumbling back and forth, with Sue struggling to get the upper hand. Amidst of all the chaos, Harper turned to Charles and Mavis. "Father! Send some people to separate them! If Her Highness is hurt, we'll all be punished."

As Sue now got the upper hand, Charles stepped forward to grab Sue's hair, wanting to pull her off Kate. However, that only seemed to have angered her more as she started clawing her way to Kate's face. In a fit of anger, Charles grabbed her head and slammed it over the corner of the table. Blood spurted out of her head as Sue collapsed, unconscious. Felicia screamed, hiding from all their gazes.

The servants of Prince Kevin's mansion all rushed to Kate to help her out. Her clothes were already tarnished and her face was filled with cuts from Sue's fingernails. "If you don't give me an explanation right now, I would go to the emperor and report what you've done. The punishment for harming royalty is death. Have you forgotten?" she stated coldly.

Of course Charles didn't. If Felicia and Sue had truly done something, the Chu Clan would fall right before his eyes. With that in mind, he decided to take a risk. "You're well aware of what had happened, Your Highness," Charles scoffed. "Your son thought that the message was from Harper. When he realized it was Felicia, he was outraged enough to attempt to rape her, shaming her! Go to the emperor! I dare you."

"Be reasonable! It was your daughter who asked him out, and now you're blaming him for instigating rape?"

"That may be true that she asked him out, but that doesn't warrant him to attempt to rape her," Charles insisted. "You said he's ruined, and that he is sexual impotence. I think that's karma for what he has done! He deserves it!"

"You've allowed your daughter to set a trap for my son, all because His Majesty favors you. And now, we're standing at a crossroad! I know where you stand. Let's see how fearless you are when you face His Majesty."

"Go ahead, Your Highness. I won't walk you out!" Charles growled out. He knew just as anyone that his clan had also done something wrong, but that didn't mean he couldn't cover it up. He would just like to see just how far Kate could let this go on. Kate stomped out of the mansion.

"Charles, what's your plan?" Mavis asked in a low voice once she left.

"Prince Kevin's family and the Chu Clan has become mortal enemies," he murmured. "Even if we declared a truce, Her Highness wouldn't let all of us go that easily. We have to convince them all that the dispute is only between Hansen and Felicia or else no one would know what would come to the Chu Clan if Prince Kevin comes to seek for revenge."
