"I have told you the truth about this matter. It is entirely up to you to stay or leave," Ran Yan said, looking at her and enunciating each word. "If you want to expose me, then go ahead, but I want to say that I am not your timid wife, nor will I submit to adversity."

Her pen paused for a second before she continued to write: To avenge my lady.
