Chapter 6 — After transferring 150,000 Yuan, I turned the table on the marriage
Ton Nhue's face... was completely pale. She gets it. From beginning to end… she was just a pawn. After using it... throw it away. I turned off the recorder and looked at her.
“Do you still think I'm lying to you now?”
She sat slumped in her chair, her eyes empty. After a long while, she raised her head. There was despair in his eyes... and a hint of hatred. Not hate me. I hate Khuong Vi... and Truong Lan.
“They destroyed me…”
She muttered.
“They destroyed everything I had…”
“I can give you a chance.”
I looked at her and spoke slowly.
“A chance for you to get some of it back, and make that mother and daughter… pay a heavier price.”
Ton Nhue suddenly raised her head. Like a drowning person... grasping at the last straw.
“What chance?”
I smiled softly.
“Very simple.”
“I want you… to do something.”
“I want you to take a DNA test.”
"And I want you... to give me all the messages, the money transfer history, everything you and Truong Lan have discussed since the first day we met."
Ton Nhue was stunned.
"DNA test? Why?"
I looked straight at her, saying every word clearly.
"Because I suspect... your child is not Khuong Vi's child at all."
Ton Nhue's eyes opened wide. There was shock and disbelief in the pupils.
"Cannot!"
She jumped back immediately, her voice shrill.
"How could the baby not be Khuong Vi's! At that time, I was only with him..."
But the words gradually weakened. A trace of insecurity flashed across his face. I didn't push, just quietly watched. I know what I just said... was like a rock thrown into her heart. The ripples… were something she didn't want to face.
“Just him?”
I asked softly, my voice cold and piercing.
“Think carefully.”
“She met Khuong Vi at a gathering half a year ago.”
“You drank a lot that day.”
“Then he took her home.”
“Then you two started going back and forth.”
“Tell me, were you really sober that night?”
“Are you sure… from beginning to end it was only him?”
Those words were like a key... opening up locked memories. Ton Nhue's face became whiter and whiter. The whole person started shaking.
“I… was drunk that day… a lot of things… I don't remember clearly…”
Her voice became smaller and her eyes showed fear.
“I just remember… the next morning when I woke up… Khuong Vi was lying next to me… he said he would take responsibility…”
“So you believe?”
I laughed coldly.
“Ton Nhue, your problem is not stupidity… but greed.”
"You are greedy for the life he gives you, greedy for the future he has drawn."
"So she chose to ignore all the abnormalities... and then rest assured that she would be someone else's family and give birth."
“You think you have a lifeline.”
“Actually… just running myself into another hole.”
I took out the last document and pushed it through.
“List of everyone present at the gathering that day.”
“There is one person in there… Trieu Khai.”
“Khuong Vi's best friend.”
“That night, he left early.”
“But the dash cam shows... he didn't come home.”
“He drove to her place, stayed for two hours before leaving.”
“That time… coincided with the time Khuong Vi said he was ‘taking you home’.”
Ton Nhue looked at the name "Trieu Khai"... like seeing a ghost. Her lips trembled, unable to utter a word. I stood up and looked down.
“Are you still sure... the baby is Khuong Vi's now?”
“I give you three days.”
“Go get tested, give me all the evidence.”
“I can quit over an amount of more than three hundred thousand yuan.”
"I can still give you some more money... so you can take your child and leave this place and start again."
“But if you still persist…”
I stopped, my voice cold as ice.
“What awaits you… is only a lawsuit and a ruined reputation.”
“You choose.”
I turned around and left the shop. No need to look back. I know... she has no other way. Two days later, everything was strangely quiet. I stay at home with my parents, taking care of Nac Nhat. Khuong Vi was temporarily detained. Truong Lan is still hospitalized. Khuong Dao disappeared. Attorney Ly has prepared all divorce documents. Just waiting for the right time. I'm waiting. Waiting for Ton Nhue's results. That would be… the last blow. Tuesday afternoon, my phone rang. It's Ton Nhue. Her voice was hoarse, as if she had been crying for a long time.
