"Worthless! Useless trash! I had hoped that with her marrying into Xiawu, I could implement the next step of my plan, yet she ruined it all."
"Master, you were wise not to disclose the true reason for marrying her off to Bert ahead of time—just telling her that S Country could no longer accommodate her and that you were helping her find a good match." After speaking, the subordinate sneaked a glance at the furious master.
The master narrowed his eyes slightly. "To prevent anything unforeseen, send someone to eliminate the associate she had contact with."
The subordinate froze for a moment before hurriedly responding and retreating.
