Harper was taken aback and frowned in deep thought. 'Is it a coincidence? What is the connection between the death of the one from the Qin Clan in the Joy City and the spy's secret searching of our mansion for the Heavenly Book?' She racked her brain to find an explanation.

But what bemused her even more was that the spy had concealed himself so well in their mansion. Furthermore, only a few people knew that the third Heavenly Book was in their mansion. 'How did the spy come to know about this? No matter who it was, we will be in danger if he is not found out.'

"I don't think many people know that the third Heavenly Book is in our mansion, do they?" Harper asked Matthew anxiously. She thought, 'If I consider all the people I know, I should be able to come up with some clues.'

"Yes. The only four people around me knowing about it are Jack, Barry, Noah and Rufus," Matthew replied as he held Harper by the waist. After a pause, he asked, "How about you?"

"I'm the only one." With a gravely ponderous face, Harper reasoned quickly. 'The Heavenly Book is very important and this is the reason why I have told no others about it over the years. I am the only one who knows where the third one is. I have not shared the secret with any of my subordinates. Therefore, the secret could only have been betrayed by those four near Matthew. Jack and Barry have been Matthew's personal guards for so many years, while Noah is a good friend of his. The relationship between Matthew and his steward Noah is even better than that bet

ave. As he passed Robert, he added, "Let me give you a piece of advice. Don't push her limits. If you do, you'll regret it."

"I haven't betrayed Lady Harper."

"It's not about whether you betrayed her, what counts is her opinion of you," Howard said gently. "You should know how hard it is to win her trust, and how much she detests Charles. And you should also know that if I were you, I would definitely stay away from Charles. It's not worthwhile to arouse the suspicions of your new master."

"Lady Harper is not that sort of person!" Robert rebutted. "She is different from everyone else in the Chu Clan mansion."

"If she were the same as the others, she would have died long ago. How else could she live until now?" Howard sneered. "Nobody thought highly of her before, but now, no one can surpass her. Even I envy her."

"Master Howard, don't you really hate her?" Robert was a little surprised to hear what he said. He had assumed that Howard was getting close to Harper to get revenge. But now he realized that his assumption was wrong. If not for revenge, then for what?

"I hate her!" Howard turned back and looked at Robert. "Of course I hate her. How could I not hate her? "

Robert narrowed his eyes and said, "Master Howard, as long as I live, I won't allow you to hurt a hair on her head."

Howard smiled bitterly and said, "What makes you think it's necessary to kill those whom you hate? I hate her indeed, but so what? Compared with coldness, I prefer hatred. At least hatred is something I can feel."
