But then he opened his mouth and replied in a blank voice.
"Then he will be the owner of your properties and you will rot in jail." she gulped and looked straight, too afraid to even say another word.
"Why don't you want to marry anyone?" when she thought that the conversation ended right there, he continued it again.
Though his voice was still blank, she still felt curiosity in it.
