Chapter 652 Add Insult To Injury (Part Two)
"Felix, the empress is no longer with us. I heard she had committed suicide," Francis cut him off. "Whata pity! Father actually wanted to spare her life, but she decided to commit suicide in fear ofpunishment."
"Commit suicide for fear of punishment? You're saying it like it's that easy," Felix sneered. "Francis,when did you begin taking action against us?"
"Felix, please don't get the wrong idea. I have never taken any action from the beginning to the end,"Francis pointed out as a great big smile crept onto his face. "You're the one who brought about yourown destruction from the very beginning."
As his face turned into a frown, Felix carefully thought about it. Their father suddenly fell ill and lostconsciousness. To keep everyone in the dark regarding the reason for his coma, he locked him up inthe Tranquil Hall. At first, he wasn't really intending to hurt his own father. However, Francis soweddissension in the Golden Hall and reminded him that he was the rightful heir to the throne. For as longas their father died, he could naturally become the emperor. That was why he came up with such awicked plan!
"You are very discreet and good at scheming, aren't you?!"
"Not really. I don't hold a candle to you. Even your wife had been sent to our father to please him."Although there was a gentle smile on his face, his words were rather cruel. "I sincerely admire you."
"What... What are you trying to say?" Felix asked in disbelief.
Taking a step forward, Francis glanced at the closed door. Then, he smiled, "Didn't you send your wifeto Father's bed at his birthday banquet back then?"
Felix shook fiercely and said, "I didn't!"
"Really?" Francis clenched his right hand into a fist and put it under his chin as if he was thinkingcarefully. "If you didn't do it, then who did it? After all, my men saw after His Majesty walked outside ofhis room, your wife was carried out with traces all over her body. If the days are counted, I really don'tknow whether the baby in your wife's belly is yours or our father's."
Felix's face turned ghastly pale and he felt dizzy. He carefully thought about it. He did not sleep with hiswife after he came back from his father's birthday banquet. After calculating the days of his wife'spregnancy, he realized that the baby in her belly was not his at all, but his father's!
"I... I don't believe it!"novelbin
"If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do. After all, I was worried about Harper at that time, so Ifollowed to have a look. But I didn't expect that I could see such a scene. You didn't see how your wifeplayed happily with our father. At that time, I thought it was you who sent her to Father as that placewas so remote and we all knew that he loves beauty. I thought you sent her as a birthday gift to Father.But it turns out that it's not like that. Is it possible that your wife has an affair with our father?" Althoughthere was a gentle smile on his face, Francis was actually trying to drive a wedge between Felix andhis wife.
Hearing that, Felix felt as if there was a lump in his throat, and suddenly felt a little lightheaded. Then,he furiously yelled out, "That bitch!"
"Felix, is it really true that your wife was having an affair with our father? That would be an act of incest.Your wife is carrying the baby who is technically your brother. Once the baby is born, should he call youFather or Brother? This is so confusing, and I really don't know what to do."
"Fuck off!" Felix roared in anger. "Get out of here! I don't want to see your face!"
"Don't be angry, Felix. She is just a woman. Father made her stay here to keep you company for thesake of the baby in her belly," Francis pointed out in a rather cheerful tone. "After all, you still got so far
to go with your wife. You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, so it would be very difficult foryou to do any rough work. In the future, you are going to have to rely on your wife. When the baby isborn, you will also have to shoulder the responsibility. Whether the child is really yours or not, you arestill bound to him by blood. So, you don't really have to think too much about it."
"Francis!" Felix yelled out, foaming at the mouth.
"Felix, why are you so upset?"
"Francis, do you seriously think I don't know what you're trying to do?" Felix was fuming with anger."You may be fond of Harper, but she's never going to love you. Matthew is the only man in her heart.No matter how cunning and insidious you are, how can you compare to Matthew who is even moresinister and ruthless than you? All you can do is watch her from afar for the rest of your life. You haveno chance to get her. I'm still much luckier than you!"
Only then did the smile on Francis' face finally disappear. He clenched his fits so tightly that it seemedlike he was trying to crush all of his bones. Of course, he was well aware of the relationship Harper andMatthew shared. After all, he had tried to destroy it in the past, but it was all in vain!
"You want to see me suffer? My pain is nothing compared to yours!" Felix suddenly burst into laughter."That woman, Harper seems gentle and soft, but she's actually ruthless and heartless. Everyone thinksthat she was lucky to marry Uncle Matthew. Ha-ha, from the very start, it has always been UncleMatthew who planned to keep her trapped inside his mansion. If he finds out what you think of Harper,do you think he will ever let you meet her again? And if Harper herself finds out what you're thinking, doyou think she'd be willing to see you ever again?"
The expression on Francis' face was as cold as ice, and he was about to blow a fuse, but someonesuddenly put his arm around his shoulder. It was Jason. He leaned against Francis as though he hadno bones at all.
"Hey, Francis, what were you talking about with Felix? You seem to be having a good time," Jasonremarked in a low, charming voice.
