Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Husband, I’ve Been Betrayed

"So it really is about money! You actually sold me out! What grudge do you have against me for you to do this to me?" Banxia immediately questioned her furiously.

The old aunt’s expression turned somewhat panicked. While picking up the money from the bag, she said, "I have no grudge or hatred against you, but Luo Mei is the second mistress of the Huo Family. How could I defy her orders? Miss Lin, please don’t make this hard for me. I’m just an old woman. I don’t know what the second mistress did to make you so angry, but I really didn’t mean to betray you. I was forced into a corner."

"Would you dare repeat everything you just said in front of Mr. Huo?" Banxia scoffed, unwilling to believe her excuses. Now that she’d been found out, she was trying to come up with reasons to exonerate herself. Ha, earlier she was the one calling Banxia shameless.

The old aunt’s expression froze instantly. She realized Banxia was not buying into the soft approach.

She immediately summoned the demeanor of a senior servant in the Huo Family, sneering coldly, "Young lady, are you threatening me? How naive you are! Do you think I’ve been in the Huo Family for over ten years just messing around? Even if Mr. Huo finds out about this, he won’t do anything to me. As for you—women like you, using their youth and beauty to stir trouble—Mr. Huo will definitely get tired of you."

Banxia saw through it entirely. Even the Huo Family’s servants were this arrogant. No wonder there’s a saying about dogs flaunting their master’s power.

"I know you’re not someone to mess with, but don’t assume I’m easy prey either. How about we make a bet? See if it’s you who gets kicked out of the Huo Family or me." Banxia was done arguing. This situation needed someone with authority to step in.

Banxia forced herself to calm down. Now, she needed to find a phone and call Yan Ting to tell him what had happened today.

It wasn’t as if she deliberately wanted to trouble him, but that man had said before that when it came to anything concerning her, she wasn’t allowed to hide it from him.

This matter, she shouldn’t keep it from him either.

The old aunt snorted coldly with confidence, as if she could already see Banxia being thrown out of the Huo Family’s door.

Banxia went back upstairs, picked up her phone, and dialed Yan Ting’s number.

The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. Yan Ting’s deep voice came through, "What is it?"

"Luo Mei was here just now. She took pictures of me sleeping and threatened to post them online. Do you want to handle this or not?" Banxia described the incident lightly. She didn’t want to exaggerate her plight to gain pity. After all, Yan Ting didn’t truly love her, and she didn’t want to play the role of a pitiful, resentful woman.

"Of course I’ll handle it. Wait for me!" Yan Ting’s voice, when he spoke again, was tightly restrained with anger. Then he ended the call.

Just moments ago, Banxia had been determined not to come across as pitiable, but hearing his words now, an indescribable sadness and bitterness crept over her, as if all the grievances she had endured suddenly became unbearable.

At the Huo’s Empire Group Headquarters, the massive conference room was deathly silent.

Over thirty senior executives held their breath collectively, incredulous yet unable to take their eyes off the documents in front of them.

It was the first time ever that Yan Ting had broken one of his own established rules. Today, shockingly, he had answered a phone call in the midst of such a critical meeting.

While everyone was already astonished as if the sun had risen in the west, something even more surprising occurred.

"This concludes today’s meeting!" The man spoke, then left the head seat immediately. His long strides out of the room carried an unusual urgency.
