Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

The moment Maggie left the house, a few maids ran up to Harper, and one of them exclaimed, "My Lady, how could you stand her for so long? I was literally itching to slap her face. How dare she insult you in that manner? Who the hell does she think she is?"

Harper merely smiled at the maids. "She has endured a lot of hardships bringing up His Highness single-handedly and has done a lot for his upbringing. As for now, she taught me how to conduct myself. I don't find it a big deal. I understand the situation and can forgive her for talking to me in such a manner. You don't have to worry. Keep in mind that if she is hard on you on purpose, don't make a fuss of it as long as she doesn't go too far. But you ought to make it clear that if she tries anything out of the way, you can take the liberty to retaliate,"

Harper said calmly to the maids. She could very well tolerate Maggie's high-handed ways provided they didn't pose any negative impact. But she wouldn't cow down if Maggie went too far.

"Yes, My La

any rent from the lessees of the houses. As a result, we earn meagerly."

"Give me a list of our businesses. Let me see if there is a way to solve this problem. It would be a disgrace to His Highness if we find it difficult even to meet up its everyday expenses," Harper said in a decisive tone. "I want to see the list by nightfall. Steward Noah, you may leave now."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Noah was quite efficient. The businesses and the country houses of Prince Matthew on the surface were very well-known. Thus, Noah didn't intend to conceal any of them from Harper. Hence, he prepared the list and handed it over to Harper as soon as possible. Looking at the list, she frowned. As shown on the list, all of Matthew's shops were located in prime areas. Seeing this, she was wondering why the shops were not profitable. After thinking over this problem for quite a while, she still failed to figure it out, so she thought of sparing some time to visit the shops, in order to have a look at the real situation.
