Chapter 8 — After Divorce, I Made Tra Nam Bankrupt

The corners of my eyes heated up a bit, but I still maintained my professional smile.

“I'm honored.”

“We can discuss further details of cooperation via email.”

“Looking forward to working with you, Ms. Phoenix.”

“Me too, Monsieur Pierre.”

The meeting ended. I looked at the dark screen, it didn't move for a long time. After a while, I stood up and walked to the glass window. Look at the vast skyline of the city stretching out before your eyes. I slowly let out the breath I had been holding for so long. You can do it. Really... did it. At this moment, the phone rang, it was lawyer Chu.

“Tu Nhien, Co Chinh Hoang recently contacted me.” Her voice turned slightly serious.

“He wants to talk to you.”

“What are we talking about?”

“He wants to reconcile.”

Lawyer Chu continued: "He offered her a three-room apartment in the inner city, an additional car, and also paid five hundred thousand in cash compensation."

"The condition is that you must immediately withdraw the lawsuit and sign a confidentiality agreement, ensuring that from now on, no mention of any relationship between you and the Co family will be made."

After hearing that condition, I burst out laughing. If it was an hour ago, I might have wavered a bit. But now… In my eyes, it's not worth a penny. A house, a car, five hundred thousand... Do you want to use that to buy off my self-esteem and the next half of my life?

"Older sister." I said, my voice calm and clear.

“Please help me answer him.”

“House, car, money... I will have it myself.”

“Besides, it's more than what he gave.”

“I don't need alms.”

“What I want is justice provided by the law.”

“I want Co Trinh to pay for everything he has done.”

“I want him to leave empty-handed.”

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds, then I heard a very soft laugh from lawyer Chu.

"I got it."

“Tu Nhien, you… are really different.”

I am different now. From the moment I threw that glass of wine away. From the moment I finished drawing that phoenix. From the moment I was recognized by Maison Reve. My life has turned to a completely new page. As for Co Trinh and his family, they were just old pages... which I brutally tore up. Hua Vi's three-day period has expired. The account I specified is still empty. Not a single penny was transferred. I had already guessed this result. At exactly five o'clock one minute that afternoon, lawyer Chu submitted the entire lawsuit against Hua Vi on the charge of "illegal possession of property" to the court. Including Co Trinh's entire transfer history, along with a recording of the call between me and her. The chain of evidence is complete, the truth is clear. The court immediately accepted the case. Just waiting for Hua Vi to receive the summons. I can almost imagine her blank face when she received the summons. I originally thought she would call again, continue to cry or curse again. But no. She seemed to disappear from this world, her phone couldn't be reached, her messages weren't answered, even her circle of friends - where she liked to show off the most - stopped updating. On the contrary, Co Trinh started trying to contact me. I don't know where he found my new number, but this time, the message was no longer screaming or angry, but full of condescension and begging.

“Nien Nhien, I know I'm wrong Already."

“I really know it's wrong.”

“Can you give me one more chance?”

“Why are you suing Vi Vi? She is innocent, she knows nothing.”

"That money was given by you on your own initiative, it has nothing to do with her."

“Can I withdraw my application? Whatever you want, I'll give it to you.”

“I beg you… don't ruin her.”

I looked at those messages and just felt nauseous. Until now, the thing he cared about most was still his "white moonlight", afraid that she would be hurt even a little bit. As for the resentment I had endured for three years, he never really paid attention. I didn't reply to any messages and directly blocked his new number. The next day, even bigger news broke out in their relationship circle. Lawyer Chu officially submitted a divorce petition between Co Trinh and I to the court, along with a notarized prenuptial agreement, all the results of the investigation of his post-marital assets, and two money transfers showing signs of asset dissipation. My request is very clear: First, divorce decree. Second, based on clause twelve of the prenuptial agreement, request Co Trinh as the guilty party to leave empty-handed. Third, request Co Trinh and Hua Vi's mother to return all assets that were illegally transferred, a total of eight hundred thousand. This lawsuit is like a bomb exploding in the center. The flashy shell of the Co family was torn apart in the blink of an eye. It is said that that day Co Chinh Hoanh was so angry that he had a heart attack and had to be hospitalized. As for Co Trinh, he completely collapsed.
