CHAPTER 244: CHAPTER 244: DECIDED TO BREAK THE CONTRACT FOR HIM

"It’s President Huo’s assistant!"

Old Sir Huo’s expression turned contemplative upon hearing this. If no one had brought Lin Banxia up, considering she wasn’t an employee of the Huo Family, she would never have been able to reach his office door.

Why would Qi Han bring her here? It seemed that she and Yan Ting had yet to sever their ties completely.

"Let her in!" Old Sir Huo decided, this time he must issue another stern warning.

Lin Banxia stepped into the office and saw Old Sir Huo seated majestically in his office chair, his cloudy yet sharp eyes fixed on her.

"What is the matter you’re here for?" Out of politeness and decorum, Old Sir Huo kept his tone relatively civil.

Lin Banxia nodded. "Yes, Chairman. You are incredibly busy, and I didn’t want to disturb you today, but your granddaughter Huo Anya has really gone too far. Early this morning, she brought more than ten people to my pear garden and caused havoc, nearly destroying the entire place. Chairman, we signed an agreement, and you explicitly stated that nothing in my pear garden would be touched. But now... I must ask you to intervene on my behalf."

"Is this true?" Old Sir Huo’s brows knit tightly, his face darkening.

"If you don’t believe me, you can call your granddaughter and ask her if she’s the one behind this mess." Lin Banxia’s eyes reddened as she thought of the destruction caused.

"Hold on, I’ll get to the bottom of this!" Old Sir Huo wasn’t someone unreasonable; since Lin Banxia had brought it up, he would naturally inquire further.

So, right in front of Lin Banxia, Old Sir Huo dialed a call to Huo Anya.

At that moment, Huo Anya was in a great mood, treating the gang of thugs to a banquet with the money she had on her.

Receiving her grandfather’s call, she immediately acted coy. "Grandpa, what brings you to call me?"

"Anya, let me ask you—did you bring people to smash up Lin Banxia’s pear garden this morning?" Old Sir Huo questioned sternly.

Huo Anya, hearing this, immediately answered smugly, "That’s right, I wrecked her pear garden. Grandpa, you know how hateful that woman is. Last time, she even reported me to the police, embarrassing the entire Huo Family. Of course, I had to vent my anger by destroying her property. Originally, I was planning to go beat her up..."

"You fool!" Old Sir Huo’s face turned livid at his granddaughter’s conceited response. "All you ever do is cause trouble. Next month, you’re going to study abroad."

"Ah... Grandpa, what are you mad about? What did I do wrong? Isn’t teaching that shameless woman a lesson my right? Did I commit a crime now?" Huo Anya still had no understanding of the severity of her actions, her tone filled with aggrieved sobs.

"Hmph, it’s criminal behavior through and through! You can’t accomplish anything worthwhile; you only cause trouble. I’ll have to educate you further when you come home."

Having uncovered the truth, Old Sir Huo felt a wave of frustration, tossing his phone onto the desk, his face dark and grim.

Lin Banxia stood nearby, stealing glances at Old Sir Huo’s expression. Seeing that he was genuinely angry, her beautiful eyes flickered thoughtfully.

Her mind replayed what Huo Yanting had told her earlier. Perhaps now was the chance to dissolve the agreement with Old Sir Huo.

If she succeeded, wouldn’t she then be able to openly be with Huo Yanting?

"I sincerely apologize, Miss Lin. This matter was entirely my granddaughter Anya’s fault for being excessively foolish. But rest assured, as her grandfather, I will ensure that this issue is properly handled. Everything damaged in the pear garden will be repaired by my people. Your emotional distress, financial losses, all damages—I will personally see that you are fully compensated."
