CHAPTER 239: CHAPTER 239 SHE’S GOING TO WIN

Thinking about divorcing Huo Yanting, she couldn’t help but sigh again.

The last time she negotiated with Old Sir Huo, she had a momentary lapse of judgment. Without securing any divorce settlement, she foolishly ended the marriage.

True to form, she’s nothing but a fool, prone to impulsive decisions.

Lin Banxia discussed job-hunting with Aunt Lan, who supported her decision.

So, Lin Banxia started working on her resume.

She had a university degree, but she lacked work experience. Moreover, she was infamously vilified online.

For now, she couldn’t afford to hope for an ideal job.

Of course, if she went directly to Huo Yanting, he would undoubtedly arrange a decent job for her.

But she didn’t want to seek him out—not in terms of material dependency, at least. She needed to maintain some dignity.

Lin Banxia submitted her resume online and awaited replies.

Thinking about tonight’s drama made her blood boil; she couldn’t wait to see Lin Shiyi losing.

A million yuan!

If she had that million, life would certainly become much more comfortable.

Compared to Lin Banxia’s confidence, Lin Shiyi was also brimming with self-satisfaction.

Thinking of seeing her dream man at tonight’s birthday party, she was almost floating with excitement.

The last time she saw Huo Yanting was on a yacht. Back then, she only managed a few distant glances, which had been enough to utterly captivate her.

She hadn’t expected that someone so perfect could exist in this world—an impeccable physique, stunning looks, an innate noble aura, and most importantly... wealth. Enough wealth to satisfy any woman’s dreams.

Lin Shiyi was entirely lost in her fantasies. If she could marry Huo Yanting, it would be the ultimate happiness imaginable.

"Sweetheart, what do you think of this gown?" Cheng Rouyin asked immediately, accompanying her daughter while they shopped.

Lin Shiyi glanced at it with mild impatience and said, "The pattern is so old-fashioned. Mom, you have terrible taste. I’m only twenty-two. At my age, I’m like the most beautiful flower—it has to be a fresh, vibrant color."

Cheng Rouyin didn’t feel offended by her daughter’s criticism. Instead, she admired her assertiveness and cleverness.

"Let’s keep looking; we’ll definitely find something you like. Come on!" Cheng Rouyin hoped her daughter would be the most stunning girl tonight, capable of instantly catching Mr. Huo’s eye.

If Huo Yanting could become her son-in-law, her life would truly be worthwhile.

In the afternoon, Lin Banxia’s phone rang!

Seeing the number displayed on the screen, her delicate brows immediately furrowed.

It was Huo Anya!

What now? Was she coming to stir up trouble again?

Ugh, how many people had she managed to offend? They kept coming one after another, seemingly intent on stepping all over her.

Lin Banxia recalled the time Huo Anya had been detained for days at the police station due to her complaint, which had completely ruined her reputation. At this moment, she could imagine Huo Anya loathing her with clenched teeth.

Lin Banxia didn’t want to take the call. Instead, she turned to Aunt Lan and said, "Aunt Lan, I’m headed out for a bit. Lock the door, and if anyone asks for me, just say I’m not home!"

She worried Huo Anya might come to the pear garden. To spare Aunt Lan from being disturbed, she had no choice but to leave and avoid the situation.

Aunt Lan urged her to enjoy her outing without worry, promising to keep an eye on the pear garden.

Lin Banxia drove off and chose a coffee shop, planning to spend a quiet afternoon alone.

But less than half an hour after she sat down, her phone rang again.
