CHAPTER 245: CHAPTER 245: NOT GIVING HER ANY CHANCE AT ALL

Just as Lin Banxia was contemplating whether she should bring up the topic of terminating the contract, Old Sir Huo’s words made her entire body stiffen.

Old Sir Huo continued, "I will invite the most skilled artisans in the world to restore everything for you. If something is truly beyond repair, I will compensate you ten times its market value. I guarantee you won’t be at a loss."

Lin Banxia was momentarily frozen, stunned. She had originally thought Old Sir Huo would handle the matter with indifference.

After all, Huo Anya was his granddaughter. Naturally, he would protect his own family, and it was expected that the old man likely disliked her to some extent, so he wouldn’t bother addressing her grievances.

But...

Old Sir Huo turned out to be so reasonable, full of sincerity, leaving Lin Banxia at a loss for words.

"Are you still dissatisfied with this resolution? Moving forward, I will warn my family not to damage your pear garden again. With this, you should be satisfied, correct?" Seeing her in a daze and silent, Old Sir Huo thought his resolution might not be to her liking and added a few more words.

"No... it’s not that. The chairman’s approach is already very fair, it’s just..."

"Since you’ve placed your trust in me, I will ensure justice for you. We are neither robbers nor bandits; we are businessmen, and businessmen value integrity above all. Miss Lin, I, Old Sir Huo, will not bully you excessively." Every single word from Old Sir Huo made Lin Banxia feel deeply ashamed.

Her heart was tense and uneasy, her gaze increasingly flustered and unfocused.

"Is there anything else?" Old Sir Huo noticed her hesitating to speak, so he inquired calmly.

"No... nothing else. Thank you, Chairman, for your fair handling." Lin Banxia realized that, in the face of Old Sir Huo’s words, she couldn’t bring herself to mention the termination of the contract. Sigh, things just never go as hoped.

"Then I will have my assistant accompany you later to handle the follow-up matters. If you have any conditions, feel free to raise them with him. Regarding this incident, my family member Anya is at fault, and I will have her personally go to apologize to you."

Old Sir Huo was still speaking, but Lin Banxia’s thoughts were already hazy. All that filled her mind was the realization: this agreement cannot be terminated.

Lin Banxia left the chairman’s office in a daze, leaning weakly against the wall as she waited for the elevator.

At this moment, inside the chairman’s office, Old Sir Huo was giving instructions to his assistant to handle the pear garden issue.

His assistant asked with visible confusion, "Chairman, why are you treating this woman so politely?"

"I don’t want her to breach the contract. It’s clear she hasn’t fully severed her feelings for my Yan Ting. If this issue isn’t handled properly, I fear she’ll use it as an excuse to terminate the contract herself."

"She definitely wouldn’t dare."

"She may not dare, but my grandson does. Only by separating them can this matter slowly fade away." When Old Sir Huo mentioned Yan Ting, he couldn’t help but feel a tightness in his chest, suffused with anger.

"Chairman, are you suspecting that the eldest young master still has lingering feelings for this woman?"

"Lingering feelings don’t even begin to cover it." Though elderly, Old Sir Huo’s eyesight remained sharp, and his mind was as astute as ever.

He could clearly see that his grandson’s mood these past days had been low, undoubtedly because of Lin Banxia.

"The chairman’s actions are indeed wise. This way, that woman won’t have the face to bring up the matter of terminating the contract."
