Chapter 23 — After My Roommate Robbed My Dad

The next morning, I pulled back the curtains. The three of them were still kneeling there. Everyone was drenched by the rain and looked as pitiful as a rat. Face turned white. Lips are purple. Trieu Le Hoa is old, clearly she is about to be unable to hold on anymore, her body staggers as if she could fall at any moment. Lam Vy and Lam Dao were also so cold that they shivered non-stop.

"Because she has been expelled from school, lost her main source of income, and all the assets in her name will also be used to repay the previous fraud."

“From today onwards, the remaining debt will be converted into debt repayment labor.”

Lam Vy bewilderedly raised her head.

“Labor…pays debt?”

Lawyer Qin nodded.

"That's right."

“In the next three years, she will work at the entire chain of nursing homes belonging to Hua Thi's charity fund.”

“Accommodation included.”

“No salary.”

"Each month, we will base on the market salary of the position you hold to convert it into debt repayment."

“Until you pay the full amount.”

Lam Vy was stunned. Trieu Le Hoa and Lam Dao were also stunned.

“No… no salary?”

Lam Dao immediately jumped up.

“You people are exploiting labor!”

“This is illegal!”

Lawyer Tan calmly looked at him.

“Mr. Lam Dao.”

“First, this is a voluntary debt repayment plan.”

“Second, if you don't agree…”

“We will immediately initiate criminal proceedings.”

“By then, I'm afraid it won't be such a simple three-year labor anymore.”

Lam Dao immediately shut up. The whole room fell silent again. I bowed my head and took a sip of hot tea. This is the punishment I prepared for Lam Vy from the beginning. What about ten years in prison? After being released from prison, she can still continue to resent, continue to blame society, continue to feel like a victim. But labor to pay debt is different. I wanted her to see with her own eyes… Old people that she had never laid eyes on before. Want her to clean, take care of, and serve herself. I want her to use three years of her youth to understand one thing. It's never been easy.

“Nursing home…”

Lam Vy muttered, her eyes gradually becoming desperate. She used to live in a five-star hotel. Used to wear Cartier and carry Hermes. Standing in the middle of the crowd enjoying the admiring gazes of others. But now... You want her to take care of the elderly? That was more painful than killing her pride.

“I won't do it!”

Lam Vy suddenly screamed.

“I won't do it even if I die!”

“I would rather go to jail than do that low-class job!”

A crisp sound echoed. Trieu Le Hoa slapped her fiercely.

“You shut up for me!”

Her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse.

“Do you really want to go to jail?!”

“You want to drag the whole family to die together to be satisfied, right?!”

“What about taking care of the elderly?!”

“What's so embarrassing?!”

"When the whole family is about to starve to death, what dignity do you have left?"

Lam Vy was hit with her head tilted to one side. Tears fell drop by drop. But this time... She was no longer crying and screaming. It was like all my strength had been drained away. I looked at her. Suddenly remembered the first year girl on the first day she entered the dormitory. When I received the birthday cake I bought for me, my eyes were red and I said thank you. When did people finally start to change? From the moment she discovered that just by pretending to be a little pitiful, she would make money. From the first time I wore a shopping bag sign and then see the admiring eyes of others. Maybe… From the beginning, she was already like that. It's just that before... I was too poor so I didn't have a chance to express myself.

“There is also a second part.”

Lawyer Qin pushed another piece of documents in front of her.

“This is a public letter of apology.”

"After signing, we will post it on the school's official website and send it to all media who have followed this incident."

“In the letter, you need to publicly admit all your acts of fraud, slander, fake scholarship and defamation of others.”

“On the other hand…”

“You must publicly apologize to Miss Hua Giai.”

Lam Vy looked at that document. Fingers tremble violently. This is more cruel to her than the debt of one hundred seventy-eight thousand. Because once she signs... She will forever be nailed to a pole of shame. After that, it doesn't matter where you go. Other people just need to look up her name online... They will all know who she is.
