Chapter 5 — After Divorce, the Esports World Belongs to Me

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds. When she opened her mouth again, her voice had changed to a sarcastic, arrogant one: "Sister-in-law is indeed smart. Yes, I like Mr. Dien, for a long time. He and I - it's not like we don't have feelings. It's just that he has a responsibility and feels sorry for his investor wife, so he's still hesitant." “So you tried to divide us?” “Division?” She chuckled softly, "If your relationship is so strong, can I share it? Sis, Mr. Dien needs someone who can play games with him, understand his e-sports dream, admire him, not an 'investment lady' who is busy with work all day and is lazy to even play games." “Do you know?” Her voice became more and more pleased. "Last night, he was in the office for a long time. Then I brought him coffee. He looked very tired, I just... rubbed his shoulders a little. Don't think too much." I clicked on recording. "Shoulder rub? Your massage service is quite thoughtful, isn't it?" “So what else?” Her voice became even happier: "Mr. Dien is a very decent person. It's just... he said you are gentler and more understanding than me. If only I had met you sooner." "Really?" I smiled faintly, "So did he say when he would divorce me and marry you?" “What's the hurry?” She smiled brightly: "He said he needs time to arrange. After all, you still hold part of the team's investment capital, making you angry is not good. But sister, I advise you to be a little more reasonable, withdraw yourself soon, don't let it end up losing both your husband and money, you'll lose face." I coldly replied: "Thanks for the advice. But my things - if I don't give them to you, don't dream of anyone taking them away. Even... Co Dien." Having finished speaking, I ended the call. In hand, is a complete recording. Enough. 10 The next day, I contacted a divorce lawyer. After listening to my presentation and listening to the recording, the lawyer calmly analyzed: "Miss Lam, this recording proves the ambiguous relationship and the intentional interference of the other party. Although it is not enough to directly conclude adultery, it is completely beneficial in proving broken feelings. Regarding the division of assets..." "The key point is the assets." I interrupted, my voice still very calm. "He and I signed a prenuptial agreement. But the profits from team investment during the marriage, along with common assets such as real estate and vehicles - must be clearly separated. I am an investor. I need to make sure my interests are not violated." “Understood.” The lawyer nodded. “We will immediately apply to preserve assets, preventing the other party from transferring or dispersing.” He hesitated for a moment, then asked: "In addition, your husband is a public figure. If this is exposed, the team's reputation and valuation may be affected. Do you want to..." "No need for now." I shook my head. "Just follow the legal process first. Public opinion — is the final card." I don't want to turn myself into the main character in a drama of 'jealousy'. But if necessary — I won't hold back. The lawyer acted very quickly, in just a few days he prepared all the necessary documents. During that time, Co Dien never returned home. Also don't contact me. Only a few vague rumors began to spread among our mutual friends, saying that we were under serious tension. Bowl Uyen Uyen, on the contrary, is extremely "active" on social networks. She continuously posted half-hidden, half-open sentences like: "The clouds cleared and the sky became bright, I finally saw the moon." “Finally… I can wait for you.” Accompanied by sad lyrics but filled with hope. She thought she had won. Until the third day — when Co Dien received a court summons and asset freeze notice. Finally — he lost his temper. He rushed straight to my company. "Lin Vi! What do you mean?! Are you really doing this?!" His face was pale, holding a file from the court in his hand. I told the secretary to go out, then closed the door: "Didn't you read the notice from the court carefully?" "Just because I'm a little close to Uyen Uyen, you're making such a big deal out of it? It's a lawsuit, it's an asset freeze?! Do you know how this affects the team? What will the investors think?!" “So, what I care about… is this.” I looked at him, my voice calm. “Co Dien, when you choose to protect To Uyen Uyen time and time again, you should have thought about the consequences early on.” “I told you, there is nothing between you and her!” “That sentence, keep it and tell the judge.” I sat down, opened my laptop: "I'm busy, I don't have time to argue." Co Dien slammed both hands on the desk, leaned down and stared at me: "Cancel the application. Lam Vi, there's still time to cancel the application now. We can... negotiate the conditions." "Condition?" I raised my head and looked straight at him: "What conditions? Do I allow you to publicly 'raise your sister'? Or do I continue to close one eye, open the other, playing the role of a 'suffering' investor wife?" "I..." He choked on his words, his chest heaving violently, and finally lowered his voice as if he had compromised: "Okay, I admit - recently I've been somewhat neglecting your feelings. I'll fix it, okay? I'll keep a distance from Uyen Uyen in the future. The team is at an important stage, there can't be any incidents." I shook my head, my voice as calm as still water: "It's too late, Co Dien. As soon as you chose to lie, hide, and abandon me over and over again for her, between us... it was over. Trust - once broken - can never be rebuilt." “Just because of such a small thing?!” He started to get angry again, his eyes red: "Lin Vi, did you already want a divorce?! Is it because of some 'companion' of yours?!" I laughed coldly: "Don't impose your dirty thoughts on others. I divorced because you trampled on the boundaries of marriage - not because of anyone else. As for property - that's the part I deserve. I won't let go." He glared at me, his eyes extremely complex: both angry and unwilling, perhaps also carrying a bit of pain and stubbornness. “Good… good… Lam Vi, you are truly unique.” He stood up straight, nodded, and smiled coldly: "Since you're so heartless - don't blame me for nothing. Team shares, property - it's not easy to get!" Boom! He knocked on the door and walked out, the sound seemed to crack the air. 11 Co Dien began to counterattack. Bloggers specializing in hunting news in the e-sports world began to post hidden meanings: hinting that the famous team owner and his wife were about to divorce, the reason being that the wife was too strong, too engrossed in her career, not taking care of her family. It even vaguely hinted that the female side was also "not clean". Comment below very quickly Someone took the lead and brought up my "companion" story. Right after that, To Uyen Uyen's girlfriend "accidentally" posted on the forum, saying that her best friend was bullied, misunderstood, and pitifully wronged by her "first wife". She was made into a simple, kind girl who only wanted love, while I was a domineering old wife who hindered her husband's e-sports dream. The seeding team and the cyber army immediately got involved. Public opinion began to become ambiguous and chaotic. I watched everything and didn't say a word. My best friend got mad, banged on the table and asked: "Aren't you going to release the recording? If you hold back, they'll think it's true!" I just said: “Wait a little longer.” The higher you jump - the more painful the fall. I want not just vindication, but a complete reversal. During that time, I made an appointment to meet with a few major investors of the team. No crying. Not to mention suffering. Don't talk about feelings. I just calmly analyzed the team's current situation, pointed out the flaws in management, and came up with a restructuring and development plan. I am the largest individual investor, they understand my expertise and abilities. Compared to me — Co Dien is only good at basic techniques and management. But this scandal makes them really worried about the stability of the executive board. I felt their attitudes gradually tilt towards me. Public opinion continued to boil for two more days. Co Dien's side became more and more pleased when I remained "unmoved". To Uyen Uyen threw another blow: She posted a story with the caption: "Innocent people don't need to explain, time will prove everything. Thank you to those who trust and protect me~ [heart]" Attached is a photo taken together during practice: She stood next to Co Dien, smiling brightly. There are also a few other players in the frame, as if they are "proofing their innocence".
