"...Will you marry me?"
!!
Silence engulfed the room, a heavy tension permeating the air.
Lin Ruoxi's face darkened, her emotions churning beneath the surface.
She remained silent for a few seconds, her forced smile masking her growing discomfort.
With a determined tone, she addressed Wang Haoran.
"Young Master Wang, I believe I have already given you my answer. If the Wang Group no longer wishes to cooperate with our company, we will find alternative arrangements. Now, if you will excuse me..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a sudden numbness engulfed her entire body.
Panic flashed across her eyes as she realized something was terribly wrong.
Her eyelids grew heavy, and she struggled to maintain consciousness.
"Rouxi, I have tried to convince you. Don't blame me for what happens next..." Wang Haoran's last words echoed ominously in her mind, the gravity of his intentions sinking in.
