"Nathaniel has asked this question straightforwardly, so Magnolia was surprised."
Go ahead.
She smiled faintly and picked up the teacup in front of her to take a sip of the tea.
"Nathaniel knew that he was asking this question abruptly, but he did not intend to avoid it. He asked, ""Ms. Xiao, you've been involved in complicated situations in Angolla all these years. Therefore, I want to ask you something. You've probably prepared a backup plan in advance just in case someone exposed your real identity, right? So how did you end up in such a terrible situation?"""
"When Magnolia heard Nathaniel's question, her hand trembled, and a trace of pain flashed across her eyes."
"I did prepare a backup plan indeed. Even if I've been exposed, I wouldn't have ended up like this. But I didn't one of my men to be a traitor. Alas, I was careless! If it weren't for the traitor, I wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state."
