C43 Revenge!

Cao Nana's hands trembled, but she was rooted to the spot by Huo Niannian's sudden surge of formidable energy, too frightened to move.

What had come over Huo Niannian? It was like she had become a completely different person, her aura incredibly intense.

"I'm a whore? Then what are you? Someone who steals a whore's boyfriend?" Huo Niannian sneered, her tongue grazing her swollen gums where Cao Nana's hit had left a mark, the metallic taste of blood in her mouth.

The crowd around them perked up their ears, not wanting to miss a moment of the unfolding drama.

Cao Nana's face paled as she glowered, her teeth grinding in anger. "Huo Niannian, don't kid yourself into thinking you can do whatever you want just because you managed to marry the president of the Imperial Group! What rich man would want you? You're just an uneducated, wild girl who's even stooped to theft!"

Cao Nana's tirade was fueled by her rage.

Since that encounter at the Civil Affairs Bureau with Huo Niannian, He Feng had been distant. His mind seemed elsewhere during their meals, and at night, despite her seductive attire, he had no interest in her.

How could she, a newlywed, endure such neglect?

"Huo Niannian, you're just a bad woman! He Feng rejected you! Do you think you're something precious?" Cao Nana hissed venomously.

"At least I don't snatch my best friend's boyfriend. What's your take on that?" Huo Niannian replied with a smirk, refusing to engage in a pointless squabble with Cao Nana over who was the true floozy. After all, this was the Imperial Group, and Huo Niannian was anything but naive.

She wouldn't let her reputation be tarnished any further.

Turning to Ding Xuelan beside her, she said, "Secretary Ding, please call security to remove this woman."

"How dare you? You're just using your position to bully me!"

Confronted with Cao Nana's shrill shrieks, Huo Niannian raised her hand to her chin thoughtfully, her gaze appraising. This scrutiny made Cao Nana squirm uncomfortably, though she still puffed out her chest defiantly.

"First off, whether you qualify as a human is debatable. And secondly..." Huo Niannian's lips curled into a sly smile as she stepped closer to Cao Nana, lowering her voice to a whisper, "I am indeed using my clout to bully—so what? If you're so capable, why don't you marry a President yourself? Then you can enjoy the privilege of pushing people around. Oh, but I forgot, you're the second-hand leftovers that He Feng has discarded. I highly doubt any President would spare you a second look."

Cao Nana was left staggering by Huo Niannian's biting words.

She looked at the woman before her in disbelief. Since when had Huo Niannian become so sharp-tongued?

"You're way out of line!"

"We'll just see about that," Huo Niannian replied coolly, raising her hand as security, previously summoned by Ding Xuelan, began to drag Cao Nana away.

Huo Niannian's eagle eyes didn't miss Lin Lele, a previous troublemaker, darting out as well. It seemed Cao Nana had come to the company in search of Lin Lele. But what was their connection?

After delivering her verbal blow, Huo Niannian's edge seemed to soften.

"Secretary Ding, let's go," she said.

Ding Xuelan followed silently, her hands clenched at her sides. It was clear that Huo Niannian was far from the innocent figure she portrayed.

This battle would not be easily won.

And without realizing it, Ding Xuelan's eyes were filled with envy as she watched Huo Niannian walk away.

The office atmosphere relaxed only after Huo Niannian had left. People seemed to awaken from a trance, quickly immersing themselves back into their work.

My goodness, the President's wife was a force to be reckoned with!
