"I know you came from the Golden Sky academy and got chased for something related to a marriage refusal…" "Does the master want to know why I refused that jerk?"
Lina couldn't tell why William spoke about this all of a sudden. Her heart gave a small, nervous flutter.
She thought he wanted to know why she refused such an offer, despite the fact that she had already touched upon the basic reasons during their initial meeting. To her, it was a closed chapter of personal pride and survival.
"No, I'm not interested in these matters," William waved his hand dismissively, his expression remaining neutral. "I want to know if you heard or saw anything that can be considered a secret."
