This type of black card can only be issued when a certain amount of funds is reached, so Lin Kunhuai had no doubt that the card contained a substantial amount of money.
He simply found it hard to believe. His least favored daughter had sohow managed to secure ten billion in just one day. It was nothing short of a miracle.
Cheng Rouyin, who had been casually shaking her crossed legs, stopped abruptly and stood up, her expression filled with disbelief.
Lin Shiyi, being narrow-minded and shallow, sneered and said, "Dad, don't fall for her nonsense. She says this card has ten billion, and you believe her? She's probably bluffing. Dad, you should go check it out. Let's see if she has the nerve to keep fabricating such lies."
Lin Kunhuai completely ignored Lin Shiyi's words and kept his gaze fixed on Lin Banxia. "Unless you tell where this ten billion ca from, I'll still take your property deed to Huo Qinglin. I'm a legitimate businessman, and I won't break the law."
Lin Banxia felt a chill in her heart. She had brought the money, yet her father suspected she had engaged in criminal activities and wanted to sever ties with her, avoiding any involvent.
Is this what family is supposed to do?
No, the true aning of family is unity, support, and solving problems together—not suspicion, division, and a complete lack of trust.
Cheng Rouyin imdiately responded with aggressive words: "Exactly, exactly! Don't break the law and drag us down with you. You'd better explain where this money ca from. If it was obtained through illegal ans, you'd best turn yourself in quickly and not implicate your father."
Lin Banxia looked at the ugly expression on this stepmother's face and rely let out a cold laugh. "I need to ask the person who gave this money before explaining, but rest assured, it's not dirty money—it's not tied to any cri."
"How much of what she says can we believe? Honey, don't trust her. This girl's been scheming since she was a child—don't let her fool you," Cheng Rouyin imdiately warned her husband, trying to ensure he wasn't duped.
Lin Shiyi promptly chid in with a sneer, "Exactly, Dad. You need to be cautious about the money she gave. I asked her just now, and she said she earned this money by selling herself. But honestly, who would pay ten billion just to sleep with her a few tis? That person must have water in their brain!"
Just as the atmosphere in the Lin Family's living room reached its peak of tension, a cold voice ca from the doorway: "I gave her the money, and I did so with a clear head. Anyone who dares spout nonsense again better be ready for to tear their mouths apart."
The low, commanding, and nacing male voice instantly sent a jolt through everyone present, and the room collectively turned toward the entrance.
A tall, upright figure ca into view, strolling slowly through the small garden under the night sky.
As he drew closer, his appearance beca clear, and it was utterly jaw-dropping.
That impeccably handso face—apart from Mr. Huo Yan Ting of the Huo Family—who else in this city could possess such charisma?
He wore an iron-gray suit paired with a deep black shirt underneath. His aura was both refined and enigmatic, exuding a depth that was impossible to fathom.
"H-H-Mr. Huo?" Lin Kunhuai's voice took ages to find, and when he finally spoke, he was stamring.
Lin Shiyi stood frozen like a statue. Every word she had said monts ago felt like a slap to her face—resounding and humiliating.
The very man whom she believed could never exist—the one who would give a woman ten billion for just a few nights—was here now. Suddenly, she began to think that maybe it was all true.
Lin Banxia had sold herself to Huo Yan Ting?
A deep resentnt overtook Lin Shiyi, almost drowning her entirely.
Her gaze at Lin Banxia was laced with daggers, as if she wanted to shred the face of the woman standing before her.
