It was none other than his fiancée.
Incredibly, it was her.
They were close enough to touch, and his strike was exceedingly fast, catching her off guard.
Xun Nuo's gaze fixed on his closing fingers, "This is Dad's wish."
Huo Jingyan increased his strength, as if wanting to strangle her to death right there.
Xun Nuo's breathing grew labored as he choked her, but she forced herself to remain calm, "Brother is the Huo Family's firstborn son. Jinjue and the Huo Family should have originally been his. Killing me won't change that fact."
Each of her words leaned accusatorily toward Huo Jingting. Huo Jingyan's eyes turned bloodshot with rage bursting forth. He lifted her entire body and slammed her onto the conference table, "Xun Nuo, I've told you, you'd better not play any tricks with me."
He leaned in oppressively, the atmosphere around them tense yet charged with an ambiguous energy.
A fine sweat broke out on either side of Xun Nuo's nose as she nervously took a breath.
