The Duke laughed instead of getting angry, his laughter sent chills down Wei Anning's spine. She was sadly aware that her harsh words were meaningless to the Duke. With her current capabilities, she couldn't even handle Dora, let alone shake the Duke, who was like an old fox?
"Then make yourself stronger. Only by standing at the pinnacle of power can you protect those you care about."
Wei Anning clenched her fists, her heart ached as if it had been crushed. She realized that she and he, since she turned away five years ago, were already worlds apart. She closed her eyes, forcing back the tears that welled up, "Fine, I agree to the marriage alliance."
The Duke's expression relaxed, he reached out to pat her shoulder, but seeing her shrink to the car door, he slowly withdrew his hand that was suspended in mid-air, "Ningning, one day you'll understand, everything I do is never to harm you."
Wei Anning responded with a cold laugh.
