CHAPTER 240: CHAPTER 240 THE PEAR GARDEN WAS SMASHED

This time, it was Aunt Lan who called. She sobbed on the phone, saying, "Banxia, you have to come back quickly. Someone came to the pear garden and started smashing things. They broke a lot of stuff and even uprooted many of the flowers and plants in the garden."

"What? Aunt Lan, don’t cry. I’ll come back right away!" Lin Banxia’s heart clenched in her throat. It must have been Huo Anya’s doing.

Unbelievable—can’t find her, so they destroy her pear garden.

Filled with anger, Lin Banxia rushed back to the pear garden, only to find its main gate forcibly torn down. As she walked inside, she saw evidence of destruction everywhere: shattered antiques, ruined landscapes. The pear garden was unrecognizable.

"Ah..." Lin Banxia let out an enraged scream on the spot. These destroyed items were what she had fought so hard to protect.

Aunt Lan ran out crying and said, "Banxia, they stopped me from calling you... There were more than a dozen of them. I couldn’t stop them."

Seeing Aunt Lan trembling in fear, Lin Banxia quickly embraced her to comfort her. "Aunt Lan, as long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters. I’ll handle this. You should go home for now."

"I’d better hurry and clean up here. Banxia, the leader was a young woman. She was aggressive, smashing everything she saw. Truly outrageous." Aunt Lan, looking at the devastation of her hard work, was equally heartbroken and upset.

"I know who it is, Aunt Lan. Stay here and watch over things; I’ll step out for a bit." Lin Banxia held back the tears welling in her eyes as she tried to reassure Aunt Lan.

"Banxia, if they’re difficult to deal with, don’t go overboard trying to confront them. I’m scared for you." Aunt Lan spoke with deep worry.

Lin Banxia crouched on the ground, covering her face with both hands as she finally broke down into tears.

"Banxia, listen to me. If they’re people with power and influence, we shouldn’t provoke them. Although some parts of the pear garden were smashed, the majority is still intact." Aunt Lan was terrified that Lin Banxia’s impulsiveness might lead her straight into harm’s way.

Earlier, when Huo Anya stormed in with her people, her demeanor was full of venomous threats as if she wanted to kill Lin Banxia. It made Aunt Lan feel chilled to the bone.

Lin Banxia’s eyes burned with fury. This Huo Anya truly wouldn’t let up for even a moment.

Now she had even brought people to wreak havoc in her pear garden. This matter could not simply be brushed aside.

"I know exactly who to find. Aunt Lan, don’t worry; I’ll be fine. Please keep an eye on this place for me." With that said, Lin Banxia turned and ran out.

The grief and pain circulating in her eyes never stopped, but she forced them back.

Tears wouldn’t solve anything. She had to seek justice.

Lin Banxia drove straight to the Huo Group’s corporate headquarters.

As she walked through the lobby, every pair of eyes turned to her, laden with judgment and curiosity.

Now, everyone in the entire company knew that Huo Yanting had kicked her out, that they were divorced, and she no longer had Huo Yanting to stand behind her.

Not long ago, when Mrs. Huo hit her, because Huo Yanting had been spoiling her, people in the company didn’t dare to gossip openly about it.

Now, Lin Banxia no longer held that kind of status where people treated her with deference.

"Oh, isn’t this the fallen young mistress of the Huo Family? How dare she show up here?"

"Exactly. Is she upset about the breakup with Mr. Huo and came here to cause a scene for some compensation?"

"I really don’t understand how Mr. Huo could ever marry a woman like her. It’s so disappointing."

Standing by the elevator doors, Lin Banxia could hear the group of women behind her speaking loudly, deliberately ensuring she heard every word.
