Chapter 28 — After the Fire Ends, I Return

Tham Duat blocked the way: "Uncle Hai, where are you going?" Uncle Hai tried to appear calm: "I feel unwell." I looked straight at him: "Are you unwell, or are you afraid I'll ask you, where are you from the villa fire twenty-four years ago?" Aunt Hai screamed: "Don't spit blood on people!" I turned to her: "Aunt Hai, just now you told me I was dead. Twenty-four years ago, everyone said the newborn baby was missing, no one was alive, no body was found. Why did you confirm I was dead?" Aunt Hai stepped back: "I... I heard what people said."

“Hear who?”

She hesitated and couldn't answer. Grandma Tham signaled the housekeeper: "Bring someone in." An old woman was helped into the lobby. Seeing the old woman, Aunt Hai's face instantly turned white: "Nanny Luu?" The old woman lowered her head: "Old lady, I'm sorry to you. That year the young lady didn't die, but the Second Lady told me to take the baby away. She said that as long as the child was no longer here...the Tham family would no longer have a direct heir to Tham Van." The whole hall was silent. Aunt Hai almost rushed forward, her voice high-pitched:

"This old woman is talking nonsense! She is confused! Mom, don't listen to her nonsense!"

Nanny Luu knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

"I'm not talking nonsense. That year, the Second Lady gave me a sum of money and told me to take the young lady far away. She said that as long as the child was no longer in the Tham family, the Tham family's assets would sooner or later fall into the Second Room's hands."

Grandmother Tham tightened her grip on the cane, her fingers shaking.

"The baby is just a month old. Can you guys also take action?"

Tim Hai took a step back, still trying to argue:

"It wasn't me! I didn't know anything! It was she who slandered me!"

I looked at her and slowly said:

“So why twenty-four years ago, right after the child went missing, did you insist on telling everyone that he was dead?”

Aunt Hai's face turned pale. Uncle Hai suddenly stood up and pointed at Aunt Hai:

"Did you do it? Did you do what happened to the missing child?"

Tim Hai turned to look at him and smiled coldly:

"What are you pretending to be? If it weren't for the fact that you resent Tham Van every day for taking away the position of heir, would I need to pave the way for you?"

Uncle Two's face immediately turned gray. Saying that is like tearing off the last layer of mask yourself. Grandma Tham closed her eyes, tears rolling down her wrinkled cheeks.

“It turns out that our Tham family has raised wolves in our house for twenty-four years.”

Tam Duat said coldly:

“Butler, call the police.”

Aunt Hai panicked:

"No! Don't report to the police! Mom, after all, I have been the daughter-in-law of the Tham family for many years. I was just confused for a while!"

Grandma Tham opened her eyes.

"Ambiguous? A newborn baby was thrown out by you guys and self-destructed. Tham Van died without closing his eyes. Tieu Duong wandered outside for twenty-four years. Do you guys say one stupid thing and want to erase it all?"

I stood still. It's clear that all the truths are gradually being revealed, but in my heart I don't feel as happy as I imagined. Just feel tired. It turns out that a person's life can be arbitrarily pushed, arbitrarily arranged, and arbitrarily distorted by others to this extent. I used to be Hua Duong of Duong Ky. She was once a fiancee who was overlooked by Luc Canh Xuyen. Used to be a pawn in the hands of the Luc family, the Lam family, and the Tham family. Until today, I just realized that I was originally Tham Duong. She is Tham Van's daughter. A person who should be loved, not thrown away. The police arrived very quickly. Ms. Luu handed over the recording from that year, along with the evidence of the transfer that she secretly kept. Aunt Hai collapsed on the spot, and Uncle Hai had no blood left on his face. Before being taken away, Aunt Hai still turned her head and glared at me.

"Hua Duong, do you think you've won? You're just a child that people threw away!"
