Wang Ma's kowtowing motion froze; her head remained on the ground, and she vehemently denied everything.
Xiang Wan walked up to her, stretched out her foot and lifted her up, making her look directly into her eyes.
"Don't forget, the indenture is in my mother's hands. If my mother doesn't agree, all your plans will fall through."
"Cao Xiangwan, do you think you can get away unscathed by threatening her not to tell the truth? I'm letting you ask now so you can find out the truth. You really are mother and daughter, neither of you knows how to restrain yourself," Cao Xinqian said sneer.
