Raina North was completely stunned.
Then, even more horrified.
Raina’s anger surged, and she fumed indignantly, "What kind of lousy weapon have they developed? It’s so pretty, and the way it attacks is so strange. If one isn’t careful, it might lead people to misunderstand and think this is a proposal, for goodness’ sake!
But how is that possible? Who would propose to their assassination target? Doing that would only lead to dying from a massive mix of surprise and terror. If becoming a ghost were possible after death, I’d come back as a ghost just to get even with them."
After venting her frustration, Raina shot Jonah Rivers an angry glare and cursed, "You jerk!"
Jonah couldn’t take it anymore and said, "How do you know I’m not proposing to you?"
Raina replied as if it were obvious, "Of course, I know. Back when I tormented you so badly you even questioned your sexual orientation, it’s already surprising enough you didn’t stab me a few times with a knife."
Jonah gritted his teeth at her words and angrily said, "You also know what damn thing you did!"
"Not really." Raina quickly added before Jonah erupted, "Wasn’t that because you were such a player with the other girls? I was just standing up for them."
Although the damage was quite severe, Jonah seems to have changed for the better. I heard that even during the years I’ve been away, he hasn’t caused trouble for any girl.
"Haha." Jonah let out a cold laugh, "We’ll deal with our issues later. For now..."
Raina wasn’t concerned about what followed. Just hearing the first part made her happy enough, and she said joyfully, "Later? I still have a ’later’? I don’t have to die this time? That’s wonderful! Since that’s the case..."
Jonah felt a vein twitch in his forehead and said darkly, "If you don’t shut your mouth now, disrupting my mission, I’ll challenge you unilaterally."
Raina immediately fell silent.
Raina looked at Jonah with a reproachful gaze.
How could someone exist...
Jonah couldn’t be bothered with Raina.
If he truly argued with Raina, he’d probably die from anger; he was quite experienced in this matter.
Jonah silently suppressed the memories of being tormented, and then, under Raina’s angry glare, he placed down a square box, took the small square box, and slowly opened it.
Under the LED light inside the box, a sparkling diamond ring lay on the black velvet surface.
Raina’s nerves were even more taut: "What is this? Is it the newly replicated flurry of pear blossom needles? Or a colorless, tasteless poison? Or does it contain a bugging device? If not, then is it a powerful bomb?"
Raina kept imagining scenarios, feeling more and more that the thing was dangerous, and looked at it with vigilant eyes.
Jonah closed his eyes, trying hard to endure, raising his voice, "Marry me."
At this moment, the wind stopped, the clouds paused, and the air froze.
Raina was filled with disbelief, and after a long while, cautiously asked, "I seem to have heard you say marry me? Haha, maybe I misheard, it’s not that I mean to say..."
"You didn’t hear wrong." Jonah interrupted Raina, and said once again, "Marry me."
Immediately after, the piano piece "Today You Will Marry Me" started playing.
Raina expressed that she was completely dumbfounded, almost scared to death. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel⁂fire.net
In fact, Raina wasn’t the only one who was dumbfounded.
All this time, Elias Hawthorne and Quinn Thorne, who were closely monitoring the scene through a drone, also had a bewildered expression.
