Chapter 270 Drive A Wedge Between Them (Part Two) (1/1)

At her words, Kate's eyes cleared and began to focus. They fastened onto Harper's face, searching for the truth, from her.

”You killed him, Lady Kate. Your son would've never died if you hadn't taught him to be so arrogant and ignorant.” Harper's cruel words cut to the core.

”Aaaahh!” Kate screamed again, roaring in rage and anguish, unable to admit or accept that she had killed Hansen.

”It was you who allowed him to make the same mistakes over and over, and even indulged him as he committed his crimes. You were the one who ultimately led him to his death. He'd probably have grown to become a playboy, who was troublesome, yes, but not evil. It was you who spoiled him, hurt him, and led to his death,” Harper said slowly.

Her reputation remained perfectly intact, and she easily slid into my position as an imperial physician. Do you think General Maxwell's problem was something Felicia could've managed alone? She's not intelligent enough for that.”

Harper patiently laid out the whole picture for Kate to understand. In her foggy, cold world, Kate would never have pieced this together herself.

That vicious bitch!

Carefully, Harper pressed a dagger's handle into Kate's hand, her tone and gaze meaningful. Harper smiled faintly. ”Lady Kate, you know far better than I do who it is exactly that deserves your revenge.”
