Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 542 - 523 Huo Yanting’s Anger

Lin Kunhuai walked in and headed straight toward Huo Yanting and Lin Banxia.

Lin Banxia’s face changed instantly upon seeing Lin Kunhuai. She tugged at Huo Yanting’s sleeve and whispered, "My foster father’s here!"

Huo Yanting’s frosty gaze swept over, landing on Lin Kunhuai, who was walking directly toward him.

"Banxia, today is your and Mr. Huo’s joyous engagement day. I shouldn’t be here causing trouble, but last time you showed me no respect at all. I’m still half a father to you—how could you be so cold-blooded and ignore me entirely?" Lin Kunhuai deliberately raised his voice so that all the guests present could hear him. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Huo Yanting narrowed his icy eyes and spoke coldly, "Lin Kunhuai, are you really going to cause trouble at my engagement ceremony?"

Faced with Huo Yanting’s piercing gaze, Lin Kunhuai’s body trembled with fear, but for the sake of money, he forced himself to muster some courage. "Mr. Huo, it’s not that I want to disrespect you, but you didn’t even consult me before marrying my daughter. That doesn’t seem quite reasonable, does it?"

"Your daughter? You mean when you treated her like merchandise and sold her off? Did you really regard her as your daughter then?" Huo Yanting sneered, his tone laced with intimidation.

Lin Kunhuai’s expression shifted as he blurted out his denial: "Mr. Huo, I know you’re powerful and influential, but you can’t go around falsely accusing people. When have I ever sold my daughter?"

"When I was dating Banxia, you had her come to me asking for money. One billion—hardly a small amount, wouldn’t you say?" Huo Yanting smirked coldly, exposing his past immoral deeds without mercy.

The surrounding crowd consisted mostly of business professionals. Many revered the Huo Family, and of those who knew Lin Kunhuai, most had a poor opinion of him. Seeing him cause a scene, the crowd waited eagerly to watch his downfall.

Lin Kunhuai was already shaky in confidence. Now thoroughly suppressed by Huo Yanting’s relentless words, he found himself at a loss for a reply.

"Mr. Huo, as long as you give me another billion, I promise I’ll never bother Lin Banxia again, nor will I disturb your future happiness together," Lin Kunhuai declared, now caring only about getting the money, indifferent to whatever remained of his father-daughter relationship.

Lin Banxia stood to the side, her face pale with anger. Hearing him shamelessly ask Huo Yanting for money yet again made her want to erupt in fury.

But Huo Yanting reached out to hold her, gently soothing her by clasping her delicate hand. His icy gaze flickered over Lin Kunhuai’s face like a blade. "I can give you the billion. Are you sure you want to take it?"

Lin Kunhuai felt the thick killing intent in Huo Yanting’s eyes, his entire body tensing up in fear.

"Think carefully!" Huo Yanting’s tone carried a veiled threat, sending chills down everyone present.

Some in the crowd, eager to witness the drama, noticed Huo Yanting’s chilling and deadly aura. Realizing the danger, they wisely turned away, no longer daring to spectate.

Lin Kunhuai hadn’t expected Huo Yanting to threaten him so openly in front of everyone.

Indeed, Lin Kunhuai had underestimated Huo Yanting—a truly extraordinary figure, far beyond someone he could afford to provoke.

Lin Banxia glared at Lin Kunhuai, her anger reaching its peak. She was absolutely unwilling to let Huo Yanting give him any money.

"If you’re bold enough to give it, I’m bold enough to take it!" Lin Kunhuai, remembering the debt collectors who had stormed his home wielding bats and knives, felt his rising dread.

"Fine. Qi Han, write him a check!" Huo Yanting’s gaze flickered with a cold smile at the exact moment Lin Kunhuai made his decision.
