Chapter 5 — Baby Turtle And Little Sunshine

Ky Minh Tuan suddenly stood up and slapped her hard in the face, causing the words he was about to say to choke in his throat. Continuous slaps rang out like thunder in the middle of the meeting room: "You bastard! Do you even dare to dream about my wife's shares?! You deserve it?! Are you so despicable for money? Without any tricks! I saw you wrong!" Diep Han cried without a sound, the corners of her lips were bleeding, and a few teeth fell to the floor. She was stunned, kneeling on the ground, her throat felt like it was being cut by a knife, her mouth trembled as she opened and closed but couldn't make a sound. "Call the police! Pull her out!" When being pulled away by the security guard, Diep Han did not struggle at all, just like a piece of wood being dragged away, her eyes were dull, as if she were immersed in chaotic thoughts. The security people who dragged her away looked like they were rescuing her, because otherwise, Ky Minh Tuan could have beaten her to death on the spot. Ky Minh Tuan's face was cold, as if nothing had happened, he patted the dust on his shirt, calmly sat down, and began to wipe the blood on his hands. Her hair, which was originally neat and tidy, was now somewhat messy. He stroked his hair with his hand, straightened up as if nothing had happened, and said leisurely: "Let's put the matter of shares aside for now. Now that the president has passed away, then... where is the will? We'll just follow the will." He looked at me with gentle eyes, then spoke softly: "Dad left a will. At first I didn't intend to announce it, I was afraid you would be heartbroken... But now the situation is so confusing, I have to announce it." The lawyer stood up, opened the will, solemnly read aloud: "Dear Ms. Manh Y Van - according to your father's will, all assets in his name will be transferred to your husband - Ky Minh Tuan. The position of Chairman of the group will also be taken over by your husband..." The whole hall was silent, everyone's eyes widened, in disbelief. I - the young lady of the Manh family - was not only dismissed from the position of Chairman, but also did not receive even a penny of assets. I hugged my stomach, bowed my head and leaned on the table, my whole body trembling as if I was about to collapse. Ky Minh Tuan stepped closer, thinking I was extremely heartbroken. He was like before, gently holding my shaking hand. "Y Van, don't misunderstand. Dad was just afraid that you would work hard, so he gave it all to me. Don't worry, I'm your husband, everything that's mine is also yours." After a while, I raised my head. My face didn't look painful, nor panicked. Just a faint smile, the corners of the eyes curled slightly, and there were sparkling tears rolling down - not sure if they were tears of joy or tears of bitterness. Ky Minh Tuan was a bit stunned. Those were tears that I burst out laughing — because that will was so ridiculous. I squeezed his hand tightly, my fingers trembled slightly, but the cold voice rang out clearly: "Ky Minh Tuan... you are so cruel." I've seen it all. Tonight, he said he would give me divorce papers. He also intended to accuse my child of being a "bastard child". My identity, money, reputation, relatives — everything I have... will be burned by you in one night! How much do you hate me?! Suddenly, there was the sound of steady, decisive footsteps outside the door. “Who said I'm dead?!” Manh Nguyen Duc - my father - walked in, sat straight in the Chairman's chair of the Board of Directors, his aura was like a mountain collapsing. He looked at Ky Minh Tuan with angry eyes and questioned: "Who built it?" up that will?!” Then he turned and coldly clapped his hands: “My good son-in-law — really good! After so many years of patience and painstaking planning, it's been hard for you!” His voice suddenly rose high, like thunder in the middle of the meeting room: "But unfortunately... our Manh Thi Group cannot raise a living Buddha like you that eats people without spitting out bones!" Ky Minh Tuan stood frozen, eyes wide open, expression extremely shocked. He took a step back, staggered and fell to the ground. “It can't be… I obviously sent someone…” “The news… that news… isn't Manh Nguyen Duc dead?!” I smiled faintly, my eyes filled with contempt: "What a pity, before my birthday, I already sent someone to protect my parents. As for the 'death news' — I intentionally released it." "Without spreading fake news, how can you 'let go of all your cards' on a night like this?" “You pretended to arrange a trip for my parents, but in reality it was an assassination attempt. You wait for your people to take action and then rob Manh Thi Group!” “Step one, quietly sell off my shares. Step two, accuse me of being a 'fake genius'. Step three, kill my parents so there are no heirs left.” “Step by step calculation, layer upon layer of planning — even if the previous step fails, the next step is still cruel enough to finish it off.” I trembled and pointed at him, tears flowing out like a stream: "Ky Minh Tuan! What did I do to make you hate me so much?! Hate so much that I'm afraid I'll leave your trap alive?!” I remember... the day I knelt down in front of my parents and firmly said: besides you, I will not marry anyone else - at that time, you had already planned it, right? When I endured pressure from the entire board of directors for you, did you laugh at my pitiful stupidity? The nights he said he was "working overtime" — was he lovingly whispering in Diep Han's ear? The day I was hit by a car when I was pregnant, did you hate me because I didn't die at that time?! My mother - still standing outside the door - finally couldn't hold back any longer and rushed in like the wind. “POP!” – A heavy slap fell on Ky Minh Tuan's face! She used all her strength to hit. “How can you treat my precious daughter like that! How much he has sacrificed for you! In the past, he knelt down in front of my husband and I and said he would only marry me! Do you know how heartbroken I am?!” “It had so many better options — but it chose you, the worst…!” “Aren't you embarrassed?! What did she do wrong that deserves you to arrange and plot every step for so many years?!” Ky Minh Tuan suddenly stood up. Hair is messy, clothes are messy. He again tried to smooth his hair and fix his collar, as if wanting to save the last bit of dignity. But that perfect mask has completely collapsed. He gritted his teeth, rasping each word as if he wanted to devour it: “Your daughter is like an angel! Beautiful, talented, always loved! She made me useless!” “Her love is just charity — it makes me nauseous!” He screamed, his eyes bloodshot like a wild beast: “Everyone praises her! Everyone forced me to go to her! She's the arrogant lady of heaven, and I'm the rat in the sewer! She makes me unable to hide, unable to live, unable to breathe!” “I envy her — every single thing! All the glory it should be is mine!” “I spent all these years preparing, just for today! I am the one who deserves to be at the top!”
