Rarely did the newly married couple get along so well, but someone just wanted to ruin the pleasant atmosphere. Barry broke into the Phoenix House and had Elsie, Harper's maid, tied up and thrown on the floor, making her look so embarrassed.

Getting up right away, Harper called out, "Elsie."

"Hmm..." Barry had put a gag in Elsie's mouth, rendering her unable to speak. When she saw Harper, she could only make a muffled sound.

After putting down his chopsticks, Matthew shot Barry a glance. Barry was not the kind of man who would randomly mess around. With that in mind, Matthew believed that there must be a reason why Barry had to capture Harper's maid.

"Explain yourself." Those simple words felt like they carried a heavy weight in them.

"Your Highness, earlier today, Her Highness went out with two maids, and I happened to see this maid as she was sneaking out. At that time, I got a bit curious, so I followed her to see what she was up to. I saw with my own eyes how she secretly handed over the map that contained the defense layout of this mansion to

do I. Both His Majesty and Charles want me to be their spy, so I had to satisfy their wish, at least to some extent. They would never realize that I actually work for His Highness." The smile became glued on Harper's face. "But I didn't expect that you'd be the first person to be suspicious of me."

"Your Highness, is that true?" Barry asked Matthew.

"Yes, what she said is true. She is indeed working for me," Matthew said, nodding his head to confirm it.

At that moment, Barry desperately wanted to hide inside a hole in embarrassment. He was sincerely worried that the prince might get heartbroken if he were to find out that Harper betrayed him. That being said, he didn't expect that Harper and Matthew had come to an agreement and she actually worked for him, and here he was, causing trouble for them. Would the prince have him killed?

"Your Highness, I..."

"Well, since you were in the dark about it, let's just forget it. You may take your leave now." After telling Barry to leave, Matthew suggested Harper that they should continue to have dinner.
