She hadn't pulled the trigger on Dan Hanjie, which already counted as her doing more than enough.
How could she possibly continue to pretend everything was fine and stay in love with him?
For several days in a row, Qin Youxuan took advantage of every opportunity to take her son and try to leave, but each time she approached the main gate, the butler would appear just in time.
Even on the off chance she made it to the gate, the guards adamantly refused to let her leave.
"Ma'am, please don't make things difficult for us subordinates. Mr. Jie has given a strict order – if we fail to watch over you and allow Madam to leave with the young master, no one in this villa's service would survive. Nobody dares to let you leave."
The butler caught up to her and, unable to bear seeing Qin Youxuan struggle, spoke honestly.
"..."
Qin Youxuan shuddered, a cold chill racing up from the soles of her feet.
