"Miss Li, it's not that we lack the ability to stop the wedding, it's just that this time Quan Dongting has put in strict preventive measures. If we act during the wedding, it would be counterproductive." The voice on the other end seemed to be processed through a voice changer, completely masking any gender, mechanical and sinister, with a hint of mockery that was unsettling.
Li Qiyun sneered, dismissive of the explanation, coldly saying, "Just because Duke Habsden took preventive measures, you're afraid to act? With that kind of attitude, why should I partner with you?"
"Miss Li, haven't we had pleasant cooperation before?"
Li Qiyun cut him off, "That was before! The previous cooperation is over, now is now."
Before, she was too aggressive, now...
She touched her abdomen where something seemed missing, a deep pain flashed through her eyes.
