Turning to Harper in surprise, Marquis Scarlet said, "I heard that Prince Matthew's wife is arrogant and overbearing. It wasn't until now that I found out they were telling the truth, though they forgot to mention that you're also a liar who makes irresponsible remarks and accuses others of hasty slanderous charges."

Harper laughed sarcastically before responding, "Oh, really? I did hear some things about you too, you know. I wonder what the face behind that mask really looks like."

She stretched out her hand to remove the mask from Marquis Scarlet's face. But as soon as her hand touched the mask, a silver needle was shot at her wrist. In a second, Matthew hastily pulled Harper away to protect her. Marquis Scarlet took the chance to get rid of Matthew's grip on him and quickly stepped away from them.

"I admire your agility, Prince Matthew. But next time we meet, I won't lose to you." After that, Marquis Scarlet looked at Harper with eyes full of complex emotions. At that, he was finally ready to leave.

As a glimmer of light flashed through her eyes, Harper s

usually confident and proud, she couldn't help but blush at his words. To hide her embarrassment, she retorted at him, "Why don't you say that I'm always jealous, savage, and wild? You can even call me disgusting for daring to dissect corpses."

"So what? Dissecting corpses doesn't bother me at all. Even if you want to dissect living people, I'll support you. And you have my word. I would still look at you the same way," Matthew said in a sincere tone. Back then, Harper had operated Nicole and done an emergency caesarean section on her. She had to cut open Nicole's belly to take out Gianna. By doing so, she not only saved Gianna but also fulfilled Nicole's last wish. Besides, at that time, Allen didn't blame Harper for cutting Nicole's belly open and taking the baby out. However, what Harper had done was too shocking for common people to bear. Therefore, in order to keep it a secret, Matthew had meticulously tracked down everybody who knew about it. He then threatened them to take the secret to their graves, or else, he was going to be the one to take them there.
