The farce in the Chu Clan mansion had ended. Harper went back to her own house. She had asked Nina and Anabel to hide away for a few days so that they could avoid being framed. Since Enya and Elsie were secretly working for Sue, Harper didn't dare to order them around. Perhaps it was because she came back too late that they didn't show up.

When she entered her room, she saw a man sitting on a chair and flipping through the notebook she wrote.

"Why are you here?" It was the masked man she had healed when he broke into the Chu Clan mansion with injuries.

The masked man threw the notebook on the table and pursed his lips as he looked at Harper. "You made a big show today!"

Instead of answering him, Harper opened the window and looked around for anyone who might overhear.

"Stop looking. There's nobody here. I also knocked out your two maids," he explained slowly as if he knew what Harper was worried about.

Harper shut the window and sat opposite him. "Are you getting better?"

"Yes." The man folded his arms across his chest. "Your medicine's very useful."

"Since you're already healed, why did you come here? I don't think I have anything that you would want," she said tentatively.

"I came here to look for something but I got curious about all the lights and shooting in the Chu Clan mansion. So I stayed aside and watched the whole scene. What poison di

e and I think it's enough for the time being." The man turned at the sound of her relaxed voice and was entranced by how she looked from the side.

"Okay, I'll take these with me. When you have more of these, light a lotus lamp in your yard. I'll send someone to take them away."

"Here's a bottle of Skin-smoothing Cream. You need to find a way to deliver it to Felicia since she is wounded. She is in desperate need of this as she doesn't want any scars on her body." Harper handed it over to the man. "Be careful."

"Don't worry. You should keep an eye on those women and protect yourself from getting hurt. Take care of yourself." The masked man took the bottle and carried the boxes as he disappeared into the darkness.

Once he was out of sight, Harper closed the window. The sight of the Skin-smoothing Cream on the table made her get lost in her thoughts. Although she had something better, this was the first time that someone had given her something without any ulterior motives. After a moment's deliberation, she began applying some of the cream on her wounds. All women cared for their appearance and she didn't want any scars on her body either.

The delicate face reflected in the bronze mirror didn't have marks but it did looked a little swollen. Harper touched her cheek and vowed to pay back the insult, and she hoped that Carrie and Yvonne wouldn't let her down!
