Chapter 18 — After Firing Me, My Husband Lost the 6 Billion Dollar Project!

"I can't stand that feeling. I can't stand being your shadow. So when Lam Nhuoc Khe said he would help me get rid of you, I agreed."

He stopped.

"But I didn't know she wanted to harm you. About the money transfer, I knew. The investment proposals in ghost companies, I signed with my own hand. But about arranging the 'unintended accident', I really didn't know."

I just looked at him without saying a word.

“Do you believe it?” he asked.

“It doesn't matter anymore.”

He smiled wryly: "Yes, it doesn't matter anymore." He took out an envelope from his pocket, placed it on the table and pushed it towards me.

“What is this?” I don't touch.

"Divorce agreement. All assets belong to you. House, car, savings, everything. In addition, regarding the company's affairs, I will coordinate with the Economic Police to investigate. I will shoulder whatever responsibility I have to bear."

I kept my eyes glued to the envelope.

“You don't have to do this.”

"I know there's no need. But I want to do it." He looked at me, "To Van, I owe you too much. I can't pay it off in this lifetime. These things can be considered a start."

I did not accept the envelope. I asked: "Co Canh Tham, do you think giving me a few houses and a few cars can erase what you've done?" He shook his head: "Impossible."

"Then don't use your assets to exchange for peace of mind. If you really want to make it up to me, then go to court and declare everything clearly. How many words did you sign, how much money did you transfer, what did she say to you, what did you nod in agreement with, honestly declare it all."

He was silent for a long moment, then nodded: "Okay." He stood up, picked up the envelope to put it away, then put it down again.

"Just look at the divorce agreement. I'll fix the conditions myself. No matter how you fix it, I'll sign it."

He turned and walked away. When he reached the door of the coffee shop, he stopped for a moment and looked back at me one last time. I saw those eyes very clearly. It's not love, it's not hatred. It's an endless regret. After he left, I sat alone in the shop, staring at the envelope in front of me for a long time. Then I picked up the phone and texted Ha Tinh: "Help me draft a divorce agreement." Ha Tinh replied immediately: "What are the conditions?" I replied: "He said he left all his assets to me." Ha Tinh: “Do you agree?” Me: "I don't agree. I don't need his money. I'll share what needs to be divided, what's mine I'll take, what's not mine, I don't need a penny." Ha Tinh: "Understood. Let me take care of it." Putting my phone away, I finished my cold cup of coffee. Coffee is very bitter. But compared to the days of the past five years, this bitterness is still bland and boring. The next month, things progressed extremely quickly. The Economic Police officially prosecuted the case, Lam Nhuoc Khe was arrested on many charges: appropriating official property, money laundering, and attempted murder. Co Canh Tham, as a person with detailed information and involvement, was also banned from leaving the country. As promised, he was very cooperative. In the testimony of the Economic Police, he detailed the entire process of smuggling money: which projects he signed, which accounts he opened, and what Lam Nhuoc Khe whispered to him. what, and how he nodded in agreement. This deposition became one of the prosecution's strongest pieces of evidence. Lam Nhuoc Khe's cousin, Jenny Chen, also got caught in Singapore and was extradited back to her country. During interrogation, she declared that over the past three years, Lam Nhuoc Khe had dispersed more than 9 million yuan through her account, part of which was used to buy an apartment and complete investment settlement procedures in Singapore. All that money comes from the Co Group. Tham Dao also found out more things than that. Lam Nhuoc Khe's marketing company in London, although it closed the file due to lack of evidence, but in the investigation report at that time there was a small detail: her partner was an Englishman named Marcus. This Marcus guy is currently the actual controller of three ghost companies registered in the Cayman Islands. That means, since she was in London, Lam Nhuoc Khe has started building a network to disperse assets. Returning home, she immediately transplanted this entire system into the Co Group. Co Canh Tham is just a tool in her hands. As for me, I am an obstacle that she must destroy. On the day of the trial, I went to court. Not as a litigant, but as an auditor. Lam Nhuoc Khe wore a gray detention camp uniform, her hair was cut short, her face was yellow and haggard. She stood at the defendant's stand, her face looking very calm. When the Judge read the indictment, she still stared blankly forward, not moving at all. Only when the Judge read the crime of "Attempted Murder" did she slightly raise her head.

"Defendant Lam Nhuoc Khe, in the process of colluding with accomplice Co Canh Tham to disperse assets, planned to endanger the life of victim To Van, committing an incomplete crime."

This crime was added later.
