"Duke Lu Xia, it's wise not to push things too far. I'm sure you understand that principle!"
"But you didn't leave me any leeway either, did you?" Lu Xia was completely unfazed by the threat. In her eyes, both Lady Victoria and Lady Dain were the same kind of people.
'This was the type of person who, even when they were in the wrong, never considered it their own fault. They only ever thought others were being ungrateful.'
Lady Dain hadn't expected to gain no ground with Lu Xia, even after intervening personally. Her temper flared instantly. Having never been rebuffed before, Lady Dain didn't know the meaning of backing down. "Fine. We'll see about that!"
'She'd just see what this Duke Lu Xia was capable of.'
"Okay," Lu Xia replied, her calm acceptance of the threat utterly galling.
