Chapter 15 — After Divorce, I Made the Chu Family Pay the Price

Chu Duc Hai. My father-in-law. The factory only recorded a serious error and was transferred to another job. Two years later. Reformed chemical factory. He was also assigned a house. This is the house we are living in now. How ironic.

“My father has been in a wheelchair for twenty-five years.”

Director Tran's voice was terrifyingly calm.

“Every day he lived in pain and humiliation.”

“And Chu Duc Hai.”

“The oligarch causes everything.”

“Living happily again.”

“He used my father's blood and tears to get married and have children.”

“Enjoy family fun.”

“Hua Tinh.”

“You tell me.”

“Is that fair?”

I opened my mouth. But I couldn't say a word. My heart is like a raging wave. I finally understood it all. This is not simply a workplace purge. It was a revenge that had been planned for twenty-five years.

“So…”

“From the first day I joined the company.”

“You were aiming at me?”

He nodded.

"That's right."

“When Professor Ly sent me your resume.”

“I've had someone investigate your background.”

“I know you are Chu Hao's wife.”

“She is Chu Duc Hai's daughter-in-law.”

“At that moment.”

“I knew.”

“My chance has come.”

His gaze was like a net. A huge net has been spread for me for a long time.

“You intentionally treat me well.”

“Remind me.”

“Use me.”

“Just to make me the most important economic pillar of the Chu family.”

“Then wait until I stand at the highest peak.”

“And then pull me down painfully into the abyss?”

"That's right."

He admitted emphatically. Not crooked at all.

“I want Chu Hao to taste what my father felt like back then.”

“Just overnight.”

“From breadwinner to invalid.”

“I want the Chu family to lose the money tree that is you.”

“Let them once again fall into poverty and disease.”

“I want them to pay for their past sins.”

His eyes flashed with a crazy but delighted light. Like a hunter who has been lying in ambush for many years. Finally waiting for the day to collect the nets. Just the most important piece in his revenge plan.

“What about Ton Man?”

“What is her story?”

“She was just a tool that appeared at the right time.”

Director Tran said very indifferently.

“I need someone to carry out this plan.”

“A person with money.”

“With brains.”

“And hate you to the core.”

“Ton Man is the most suitable choice.”

“I sent all your information to her anonymously.”

“Tell her that.”

“Just get rid of her.”

“Then Chu Hao will be hers.”

"Indeed."

“She didn't disappoint me.”

I leaned back in the chair. It feels like all the strength in my body has been drained. I thought I was fighting Ton Man. I thought I was fighting against the Chu family. My true enemy. Still hiding in the dark. Coldly observing everything. Watching me walk step by step into the trap he had set up.

“I won.”

I closed my eyes. Hoarse voice.

“Now I have nothing left.”

“Are you satisfied?”

Director Tran burst out laughing. He stood up. Step in front of me. Looking down from above.

“That's not enough.”

“Far from enough.”

He threw another file down in front of me. That's one debt transfer agreement.

“Chu Duc Hai was diagnosed with kidney failure last month, right?”

“Every week I have to have dialysis.”

“The next stage requires a kidney transplant.”

“It's a huge expense.”

“The Chu family has long been stripped of all their money.”

“To cure him.”

“Chu Hao borrowed a lot of money from outside with high interest rates, right?”

My heart suddenly jumped. This story. I don't know at all.

“Through some private channels.”

“I bought back all his debt.”

The corners of Director Tran's lips curved up into a cruel smile.

“In other words.”

“I am the Chu family's biggest creditor.”

“I can anytime.”

“Causing them to lose their fortune.”

“Causing Chu Duc Hai to be interrupted from treatment.”

“Then slowly wait to die in pain.”

He is truly a demon. I looked at him. Feeling cold down my spine.

“What do you want anyway?”

“Hua Tinh.”

Suddenly he reached out his hand towards me.

“Let's make a deal.”

His eyes became hot.

“What transaction?”

"Help me."

“Help me completely destroy the Chu family.”

“Trample them into the deepest hell.”

“Making them unable to raise their heads for the rest of their lives.”

I was stunned. I didn't expect him to make such a request.

“Why should I help you?”

“Because we have a common enemy.”

“Also because.”

“I can give you everything you want.”

He leaned close to my ear. Enchanting voice.

“Just nod your head.”

“Tomorrow you will be reinstated.”

“That denunciation.”

“I will clean it up.”

"Even."

“I can even let you sit in my place.”

“Become the highest leader of this branch.”

“This deal is very good, right?”

He looked at me. Waiting for answer. The sunlight outside the window penetrates through the gaps in the curtain. Light and dark mixed on his face.
