Chapter 871 She Was Suspected (Part One) (1/1)
Finally, Harper was able to see clearly the man in front of her. He was not her husband Matthew, but Rolando who looked so pale and furious. He was holding her arms and walking towards a remote palace.
”Rolando,” Harper called out weakly in a hoarse voice.
”Are you awake?” Lowering his head, Rolando carefully stared at Harper and added, ”Don't worry. I'll take care of you. You'll be fine.”
The temperate of Harper's body increased more and more. Even though she had just sobered up, she understood right away why her body was unusually hot. Coupled with the fact that their clothes were disheveled, she knew what had happened at once, although she had been poisoned.

”And who is that?”
”It's Lady Lilian, Your Majesty. The guard said that Lady Lilian brought two maids into the Harmony Palace today. But when she left, only Daisy followed her out,” Fernando replied right away.
”No, that's impossible! Lilian entered my room with only Daisy by her side,” Harper retorted.

If he hadn't restrained himself and slept with Harper, she would loath him when she woke up. If he didn't, Harper would find out his hidden feelings for her and thus, she would certainly stay away from him. He had underestimated Lilian's capabilities. He had thought that she was a foolish woman who was just obsessed with him. He had never thought that she could plan against him and Harper like this.
