Keira Olsen found herself married without even knowing it! What's more, her husband-out-of-the-blue turned out to be the richest person in town! As an illegitimate daughter, she's been clawing and scrambling her way up, struggling to survive since childhood. She never expected to wed someone so powerful. When everyone thought she'd be quickly divorced, her husband shocked everyone by a declaration."My dear wife, can we not divorce?"
Keira heard these words, but there was no joy on her face. Instead, she asked, "What's the condition?"
"Complete the task I've set."
Keira scoffed.
She knew that the other party wouldn't tell her what she wanted to know.
She asked straightforwardly, "What if I can't complete it?"
The person on the other side laughed. "Keera, you should know that your mother is a traitor to the South family, right? What do you think happens to traitors caught by us?"
Keira's chest tightened, and her voice trembled. "What will happen?"
"Solitary confinement is the least of it. For someone like your mom, she'd be living in the dudgeon, given only a little bit of sustenance each day. Some might even be subjected to public protests and floggings... The most severe would be killed by submersion."
The other party's threatening words made Keira feel as if she were in a daze.
