Chapter 167
There was a short
silence in the shed.
Then the three of them burst out laughing in unison.
âThat is the spirit, Janet!â Morgana cried, âYou have got to make that bitch pay!â
âI believe you already have a plan?â Westin looked at Janet with a grin.
âI do,â Janet nodded.
Kass pursued eagerly, âThen what is it? There are only 3 days left before the wedding, so we better hustle. What can we do to help? Please let me be a part of it. I canât miss out on the fun!
âWe can abduct Harper. Make her miss the wedding,â Morgana suggested.
âOur we can hire somebody to throw paintballs at her wedding dress! It would be a blast to see her walking down the aisle covered in paint!â
âActuallyâ¦â
Janet said, interrupting their heated discussion, âI am thinking something more subtle, something that can keep ourselves off the radar. Westin still needs to get me out of the city that night. We donât want to draw too much attention.â
âDonât worry about that,â Westin smiled at her in an indulgent sort of way. âYou can overturn the entire palace and that is fine. You have my back. But tell us what you were thinking originally?â
âThe thing that Harper cares about the most is her reputation.â
Janet said in an icy tone.
âHer reputation stinks in Riverside Pack. Now she probably thinks that she can start over and become the most powerful woman in a place where nobody knows herâ¦Well, I am not going to let that happen. I will expose her past. I will rub her reputation on the floor.â
Westin rubbed his chin, âMakes sense. But how?â
âThere are pictures.â
Janet said.
âPictures that she will not want her future husband and all the guests at the wedding to see.â
Kass let out an astonished gasp.
Morgana cried out enthusiastically, âWell great! Do you have those pictures with you?â
Janet shook her head, âNo. All I know is that Harper keeps those photos in an album on her phone. If there is a way for us to get hold of this phone-â
âI can do it,â Westin said.
Kass and Morgana looked at him, skeptically.
âYou?â
Kass asked in a highly doubtful manner.
you. A common s
Stealing the Queenâs phone? Seriously, Westin, donât try to
swallow more than you can chew.â
Westin shrugged, âYou said it yourselfâI am not just a common soldier.â
He turned to Janet and pecked her cheek.
âI better get to work,â he said in his usual husky, sexy voice. âCan I see you in your room tonight?â
âOf course,â Janet smiled.
Westin left the shed in long strides..
Morgana snuck up to Janet and whispered into her ear, âSeriously, Janet, do you really trust this guy? He seems off to meâ¦â
âI trust my instinct, which has never betrayed me for once.â Janet patted her shoulder, âNow, shall we go and get your soldier Claire out of that kitchen?â
They went back.
Janet switched places with Claire.
Nobody in the kitchen noticed that she was gone for quite some time. The headmaid was still lashing at the others for being sluggish.
After a long day of peeling potatoes and chopping vegetables, Janet went back to her room, exhausted.
The bathroom wall that Daran destroyed during the fight with Westin had been fixed.
Janet tried the water tap. It was working soundly, now.
She popped in for a quick shower and sat on her bed, waiting for Westin to show up. When the clock struck elevenâfifty, a knock came on the door.
Janet rushed to get it.
To her surprise, Westin did not come alone.
He brought that maid named Gill with him.
Janet stood frozen by the door, holding the door panel with one hand, and looked at Gill with high alert.
This woman was not very nice to her before..
âI ask her to help.â Westin explained, âShe is responsible for changing the bed
sheets in Harperâs room.â
Janet lowered her voice, âCan she be trusted?â
Westin nodded, âShe wouldnât dare to say a word.â
Gill seemed very nervous,
She constantly looked beyond her shoulder to see if there was anyone else in the hallway.
âCan we p
please hurry?â she asked in a strained voice, âI really canât stay for longâ¦! âWhere is it?â Janet asked.
Gill reached into her pocket and took out a cell phone.
Harperâs phone.
âI lifted this from her nightstand. She is in the shower right nowâ¦But when she finishes the shower and comes out looking for her phone and canât find it-â
âI will be done with it in 5 minutes,â Janet said.
She reached out to take the phone from Gill.
Yet Gill clenched onto it and would not let go.
âDonât be mistaken that this means I like you!â Gill hissed, darting a hostile glare at Janet. âI am doing this as a favor for Westin. If I get caught later, I will absolutely throw you under the bus!â
Janet let out a light sneer, âNoted. Now hand it over. We donât have much time, do We?â
She took that phone from Gill. Westin shoved her a laptop.
âI think you might need this.â he t

Janet nodded, â5 minutes.â
her a blink, âGo do your thing. We will be
She went back to her room with Harperâs phone and the laptop and set both things on the table.
She tried to turn on Harperâs phone. It was protected by a 6âdigit password.
Harperâs passwordâ¦
She didnât think Harper was capable of coming up with some super complicated password.
Janet pondered for a few seconds and then tried the date Harper got saved from the kidnappers first. On that day Daran rejected her and Harper always saw that day as a big triumph.
It was wrong.
She then tried Hellenâs birthday.
Still not correct.
Well, the only possible number left was-
Janet entered Harperâs birthday.
The phone unlocked on her third try.
Janet let out a cold snort internally.
It was unbelievably easy but made sense. Because the person that Harper loved the most in the whole wide world was herself.
Janet clicked on the photo album and scrolled down.
She soon found what she was looking for-
A secret album that contained over 80 photos.
Each photo captured Harper in bed having sex with a different man.
This was Harperâs deepest, largest secret.
