Chapter 11 — After being divorced for half a year, the Respite Center calls me the baby's mother

I picked up the authorization letter.

“But you guys…”

“Turn my help into a power of attorney again.”

“Turning my patience into something easy to bully.”

“Not anymore.”

The whole room was suffocatingly silent. The police confiscated all authorization letters and related documents. Luc Canh Xuyen needs to continue to coordinate the investigation. Chu Que Lan also had to explain the origin of those blank papers with signatures. Luc Thanh Thanh quietly handed over the USB and all the chats. She bowed her head, her voice very low:

“Lam Tri Ha…”

I took a look at her.

“Sorry doesn't work.”

“New evidence matters.”

Luc Thanh Thanh nodded slightly.

“What I know… I will tell you everything.”

I walked out of the Luc family's old house. The phone vibrates. Tien Minh Vien sent Duyet An's final correction. 【 Duyet An Residing Center confirms: Ms. Lam Tri Ha has never stayed, given birth or authorized anyone to use personal information at our center. Room 8808 records were edited illegally by staff. All related invoices are not related to Ms. Lam Tri Ha. The Center has coordinated the investigation and officially publicly apologized to Ms. Lam.】 I replied: One minute later, a correction notice appeared simultaneously on the Duyet An hall screen, the official account and the cooperation groups. Luc Canh Xuyen was taken out. As he passed me, he lowered his voice:

“Tri Ha… I really never wanted to harm you.”

I raised my eyes to look at him.

“I just thought…”

“I will not protest.”

The elevator door closed. He didn't say another word. The next morning, Duyet An held an urgent explanation session. Tien Minh Vien stood in front of the large screen in the hall, clearly reading each correction.

“Miss Lam Tri Ha has never stayed in Duyet An.”

“Never gave birth at the center.”

"Nor have I ever authorized Luc Canh Xuyen, Chu Que Lan, Tong Vien or Trieu Man to use my personal information."

"All invoices, confirmations and refund documents related to room 8808 are not related to Ms. Lam Tri Ha."

I sat in the front row and didn't speak from beginning to end. After reading, Tien Minh Vien bowed in front of me.

“Miss Lam, Duyet An officially apologizes to you.”

I stood up.

“I accept my apology.”

“For compensation, work with a lawyer.”

“Still cooperating…”

“We will reevaluate.”

Chu Que Lan suddenly stood up. In her hand, she still clutched a photocopy of the 280,000 yuan invoice.

“This money... we really can't get it out.”

"The baby still has to eat and live, now something happened to Canh Xuyen..."

“You were so good before, couldn't you…”

“Impossible.”

I picked up the microphone.

“Whoever stays in the room, pays.”

“Whoever signs the papers is responsible.”

“Who arbitrarily wrote my name on the document…”

“That person will delete it themselves.”

“I will not take on the debt for my ex-husband.”

“Not accepting the child for Tong Vien.”

"Let's not replace Chu Que Lan to clean up these calculations."

The whole hall was so quiet that only the sound of the baby cooing softly remained. Tong Vien hugged his child and walked forward, placing a file on the table.

“This is the entire conversation history between me, Luc Canh Xuyen, Chu Que Lan and Trieu Man.”

“I agree to cooperate in the investigation.”

I didn't respond to her. Tien Minh Vien signaled the staff to receive the money document and then forward it to the police. After the explanation, Ms. Vuong gave me a new contract. Additional terms are written extremely clearly. Unauthorized use of customer information — triple compensation. Damaging partners' reputations - mandatory public correction. The employee operates in violation of regulations - the unit is jointly responsible. I signed every page. This time, I read every word carefully. Ms. Vuong burst out laughing.

“The new contract is much worse than the old one.”

I closed the pen cap.

“Having someone else use my name once…”

“I just realized how valuable a name is.”

When stepping out of Duyet An's big door, the lobby screen was still lit with a correction notice. Yesterday, they wanted to force me to accept debt here. Today, in this same place... You must publicly return my innocence. That's enough. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the lawyer officially submitted all documents.
