Chapter 83. Threat

"I'm not forcing anyone; I'm giving you time to think it over before giving me your answer. But be careful, saying ‘no’ isn't an option," Priyank's voice exuded confidence and threat simultaneously.

His eyes sharply assessed Priya and Mary.

"Are you threatening us?" Mary inquired.

"Do you want me to?" Priyank's gaze narrowed as he focused on Mary, who returned his stare with eyes full of resentment.

"We don't need time to think. And even if you don't accept ‘no’ as an answer, our response remains unchanged: you can't marry Priya," Mary asserted, her words tinged with uncertainty.

"Understand this, old hag. I don't think you can handle refusing me. You have much to lose, so maybe you should reconsider your so-called denial," Priyank chuckled, suppressing a few curses.

Priya looked at Daisy, silently pleading for help. Daisy was the only one who could influence Priyank; he had always held a soft spot for his mother, so perhaps she could intervene.
