Chapter 586 See You Again (1/1)

As Walden cast a glance at Francis who was pretending to be sad for him, he felt quite uncomfortable. How he regretted his crime now! It was frustrating for him to think of how badly his actions had backfired against him. If only Scott hadn't refused to give him the pill, he wouldn't have been so cruel. It seemed to him at the time that he had no choice but to kill Scott, but now it seemed that his own doom was sealed.

Matthew also looked furtively up and down at Francis. Francis' words put another nail into Walden's coffin. Whether he would be executed or not, it was clear now that he was the murderer. Francis' words doomed Felix's right-hand man, who was also his brother. From this aspect, Francis was not soft-hearted at all.

”Walden, I saw you grow up. I don't believe that you are such a ruthless viper...” The empress wiped the corners of her eyes, looking sorrowful. ”If you have been wronged, just tell His Majesty. He will uphold justice for you.”

Looking at the sad empress, Walden felt regretful. But someone must take responsibility for this act, either he or Felix. And if Felix were blamed, he would fall with him, without hope of a comeback!

”I'm sorry, Mother. I am indeed the culprit, and I let you down. I didn't know that Scott already intended to present his Longevity Pill to Father. I heard that Felix was worried about Father's birthday gift, and he knew about the Longevity Pill, so I took the initiative to go to the physician's mansion to beg for the pill.”

”Prince Walden, you were not begging but robbing.” A reprimanding v

ve found you.” Harper smiled exultingly.

Hailey saw Fred standing beside Harper and asked, ”You only brought one person with you?”

”Yes, I've only brought one, but one is enough to deal with you. You won't be able to escape this time,” Harper replied in a low and confident voice.

”I didn't plan to escape today!” After Hailey finished her words, a man behind her made a quick movement, striking directly at Harper's vital part. But Harper stayed still, and Fred took a step forward. He blocked the man's attack directly, and then fought back at him.

Harper stepped forward and said, ”At long last, we can have a talk.”

”Yes, we can finally talk this through,” Hailey responded hoarsely. She used to be a privileged member of the Chu Clan, but now was reduced to this low condition because she had been framed by Harper.

”Have you seen your own father? I heard he is guarding the city gates.” Harper's posture was relaxed. Although she was wearing men's clothes, her demeanor annoyed Hailey a lot.

Thus, her face was distorted with anguish. She couldn't stand to admit her identity at all. She regarded herself as the eldest daughter of the Chu Clan, not an illegitimate child. ”I don't want to quarrel with you. Come on, Harper Chu.”

Harper looked disdainfully at Hailey, and Hailey was fiercely agitated by her disdain. She ran madly at Harper with a bloodlust.

”You will die now!”

Hailey had a poisonous thorn in her hand. It was about to stab Harper, but a shadow suddenly blocked her hands and kept the thorn an inch away from Harper.
