Chapter 120 Seeing Through Her (Part One)


    Carlson was so surprised that his jaw dropped. For a while, he took dumbstruck, full of astonishment.


    Words failed him and he stammered, "What? Am I hearing things?"


    "I want to y a matchmaker for your aunt, Princess Nicole," Harper repeated as she flung her arm


    around Carlson''s neck. "I have a friend whose father has lost his wife years ago. I think her father has a


    good family background and is a talented man. My friend is looking for a good wife for her father. When


    she mentioned this, I realized Princess Nicole is an ideal candidate. Do you think it''s workable?"


    Carlson swallowed his saliva, recalling what happened to thest man who proposed to his aunt. His


    aunt had brutally beaten up the man and thrown him into the moat.


    "Harrell, I don''t think it''s a good idea. My aunt won''t agree. Thest man who proposed to marry her


    was beaten up and thrown into the moat. If you think he is a good man, then don''t give him a chance to


    be treated in this manner. Get this wild idea out of your head," Carlson replied as he shook his head


    vehemently. Although he was worried about his aunt''s marriage, he did not want Harrell to attempt


    something so dangerous. He was almost certain that Harrell''s friend''s father would eventually end up


    with the same miserable result.


    "Wait! You didn''t give me a chance toplete my words. In fact, I haven''t even revealed who the man


    is, yet you just refused me! Maybe your aunt will be willing to marry him!" Harper said, full of conviction.


    "Don''t you want your aunt to start a family as soon as possible?"


    "Of course I want my aunt to get married as soon as possible. But do you know my aunt''s situation? My


    aunt''s leg..."


    "I know there is a problem with her leg," Harper said as she patted Carlson''s shoulder. "We all know


    your aunt''s situation. But you don''t know the man''s condition. Once I tell you this, you can go back and


    check whether your aunt will agree or not. If it is a positive result, it would be wonderful. If it is a no,


    then never mind. We will still be friends."


    Carlson gave a serious thought to this and said, "Fine. Tell me about that person."


    Harper then continued, "Actually, you also know this man. He is Charles Chu. Even though he is ten


    years older than your aunt, he is upright and strong. And as you know, his wife has been dead for many


    years. One of his concubines is taking care of all the family affairs since he doesn''t have a wife to deal


    with them. And histe wife only gave birth to a daughter; if your aunt gives birth to a boy, he will be the


    only heir. Charles may seem a little bit cowardly, but he is excellent both in appearance and mind. So I


    think he will be a suitable match for your aunt. His only weakness is that he has married once. But that


    doesn''t matter much anyway because his original wife is dead."


    The instant Charles'' name was dropped, Carlson began to frown deeply. Charles did not carry a good


    reputation. To be honest, if possible, neither a upper-ss family nor a noble one would be willing to


    marry their daughter into the Chu n mansion. What happened to Prince Kevin''s family had proved


    that it was not a good idea to have any marriage connection with the Chu n.


    "The Chu n is not a good candidate," said Carlson.


    "Your aunt is not the best choice for a wife, either," Harper simply responded. "Frankly speaking,


    Carlson, I think this marriage is feasible."


    Carlson hesitated and said, "I am not the one to make the decision. I need to ask my aunt. She has a


    bad temper, and because of the innate defect, she bes more irritable. To be honest, the Chu n


    is not a good match, and if my aunt marries into that mansion, I''m afraid the Chu n will be faced with


    a worse situation."


    "Carlson, you don''t need to worry about it. All you need to do is go back and ask for your aunt''s


    opinion. If she agrees, I will ask my friend''s father to ask His Majesty to issue a marriage edict. What do


    you think?" asked Harper tentatively.


    "Harrell, with all due respect, may I know who your friend is exactly?" Carlson asked curiously.


    "It''s Hailey Chu." Without hesitation, Harper decided to take advantage of Hailey''s name. "You know, a


    fairdy is a gentleman''s desire."


    "You are lying! I know it''s not Hailey! Tell me the truth!" Carlson immediately held Harper''s neck. "You''re


    not being honest. Tell me, who is your friend? I won''t help you if you don''t tell me!"


    "Let me go! Let me go!" Harper choked as she patted Carlson''s arm to breathe in some air. "Fine, I


    admit it. It is Harper Chu!" Harper choked out the name.


    Carlson had thought about numerous conjectures, but he had not expected to hear the name of Harper.


    "What did you say? Did I hear it wrong?" Carlson asked, rubbing his ears as if he could not believe


    what he just heard.


    "I said it''s Harper. She is a friend of mine."


    Carlson stared at Harper from head to toe. He then said in a meaningful tone, "I didn''t know you like


    thepany of that kind of woman."


    "Which kind of woman?" asked Harper in utter confusion.


    "The kind who is arrogant, mean, and difficult to get along," Carlson blurted out at once.


    With a smile, Harper said, "Rumor has it that you are a man of unruly and tyrannical character. But in


    my opinion, it''s not true. The rumor is sometimes unreliable, especially when it is about someone from


    arge family."


    Carlson did not deny it. "Okay, for your sake, I will go back and check my aunt''s opinion. But it''s up to


    God whether she will ept it or not."


    "The only thing you need to do is ask her opinion. Tomorrow, at this same time, I will be waiting for you


    here to know her response," replied Harper, nning on ending their conversation.


    "But wait! Where on earth do you live?" Carlson asked curiously.

    The smile on Harper''s face was profound. She did not make any reply. Carlson pressed his lips and


    said, "Forget it. See you tomorrow. I''ll go back and ask my aunt. If she is willing to marry, I''ll tell you.


    But the chances are slim."


    Carlson had no idea why he decided to run away as soon as possible. It was Harrell who had kept his


    secret from him. However, a strange feeling was gnawing at Carlson today. He somehow felt ovee


    by guilt. He once again wondered how Harrell and Harper were friends. He couldn''te in terms with


    the fact that Harrell liked an arrogant and meandy like Harper.
