Chapter 593 Francis Was Refused (Part Two) (1/1)

In the Phoenix House, Harper's imposter was reading a medical book. She had been told that Harper did not have many hobbies. Reading medical books was one of her few hobbies, so she pretended to read medical books as well. Nina went to the window and shut it. ”The rain is becoming very heavy. Your Highness, I'll get you a cloak, in case you feel cold.”

”All right,” Harper's imposter said without raising her head. In the past few days, Matthew hadn't visited the Phoenix House. Or to be more precise, she hadn't seen him since the emperor's birthday banquet.

Nina went out briskly to fetch the cloak. Angelica came in with ginseng soup. She stood beside her, trying to think of something to say. However, she didn't dare interrupt the false Harper, who seemed to be lost in thought. Therefore, Angelica could only look at the imposter with her innocent eyes.

Her gaze was so intense that the false Harper couldn't ignore it anymore. She actually preferred to avoid speaking whenever possible, because the more she spoke out,

But before he could say more, Francis ordered him, ”Owen, let's go.” His voice was stern. Then he lost his balance and almost fell to the ground.

”Your Highness...” Owen protested.

”What? Will you disobey me now?” Francis shouted. He coughed again in his irritation. He knew that the woman in front of him was not Harper, although she looked exactly the same as her. Something, perhaps his sixth sense, told him that she was not the person he wanted to see. He had inscribed Harper's image and her every gesture into his brain. He could even imagine how she would react to anything he said or did. This person was just an imposter—his gut feeling was always right. Determined, he decided to ask Matthew what he had done and where he had hidden Harper!

”No, I dare not,” Owen quickly replied, lowering his head.

”Let's go. Follow me to meet Uncle Matthew,” Francis said. He could hardly stand still. He leaned his body against Owen and ordered, ”Bring me to the Pine House.”

”Yes, Your Highness,” was Owen's reply.
