Chapter 7 — Because of White Moon Light, He Abandoned Me During the Engagement Ceremony
Clearly still angry about the article exploding online.
"Hua Duong."
"Outside public opinion, are you allowing people to counterattack?"
"Not."
"It's best not."
He pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Now Chi Da Bakery needs stability."
"It's not internal fighting."
I turned the computer screen towards him. Open that recording.
"After you've finished listening, tell me about the word 'stable'."
The first few seconds. Luc Tram still frowned. Looks full of impatience. Until Tham Le said:
"If I just tell him that I'm very sad, he will come running himself."
The expression on his face immediately stiffened. Until you hear the sentence:
"Luc Tram is an existing ladder. If you don't step on it, it's a waste."
His hands were clenched into fists. The recording ends. The meeting room was eerily quiet. I looked at his pale face. Suddenly I felt extremely satisfied. It's not because I won against anyone. In the end, I personally smashed the aura that he still covered Tham Le.
"Do you hear me clearly?"
Luc Tram was silent for a long time. The pharynx moved slightly.
"This recording..."
"Where did you get it from?"
"Is it important?"
"I asked where you got it from!"
Suddenly he shouted loudly. As if wanting to use anger to cover up my struggles. I calmly looked at him.
"Luc Tram."
"The thing I care about most right now..."
"It's not whether she tricked you or not."
"It's not that I've become a laughing stock."
"Where did this come from?"
His lips moved slightly. Not even a single sentence can be said. I looked straight at him. Then calmly opened his mouth to continue speaking for him.
"Because I don't dare to admit that the white moonlight that I've missed for so many years, never considered me a human being from the beginning."
"You don't even dare to admit that, because of someone like her, you abandoned me right at the engagement ceremony."
His expression was unsightly as if someone had just slapped him several times in front of everyone. After a long time, he spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Maybe she was just excited at that time so she blurted out that."
I looked at him. Finally burst out laughing. Having come to this point... He still wants to find reasons to defend her.
"Luc Tram, you are truly a coward."
The air in the room immediately froze. He suddenly raised his head to look at me, his eyes both hurt and angry. But I... I don't care anymore.
"You just keep lying to yourself, keep being her life-saving straw, being her ATM, being her tool to prove she's still attractive."
"But from today, don't drag me into the water anymore."
I pushed a file in front of him.
"This is the notice of capital withdrawal and termination of authorization to use the brand that I have prepared. In three days, I will officially send it to the Board of Directors and investors."
"In addition, I also remind you one thing. That anonymous article was released by Tham Le's team, I also have evidence. If you still want to protect her, then don't blame me for taking care of you too."
Luc Tram stared at the document, the blue veins on the back of his hand clearly standing out. It seemed like he was finally cornered, his voice was low and hoarse.
"Hua Duong, do you have to destroy me?"
I looked at him, replied softly:
"It's not me who destroys you."
"It's a pitiful attachment that I can't let go of."
"I'm just bringing the truth before you."
Having finished speaking, I stood up and left. Just opened the door. Tham Le was standing right outside. Her expression was very unsightly. Obviously he heard the second half of the conversation. I wasn't surprised at all. People like her will not miss any opportunity to control the situation. She looked at me. There was no longer the leisurely, arrogant look in his eyes like before. On the contrary, it also carries some bitterness.
"What did you tell him?"
I casually glanced at her.
"Have you forgotten the words you said yourself?"
Her pupils shrank. But the next second, he quickly regained his composure and forced a smile.
"Hua Duong, do you think Luc Tram will believe you or me?"
"It depends." I walked past her, my voice very light. "Anyway, you two are a perfect match. One pretends to be in love, the other pretends to be pure."
That night, Luc Tram didn't come home, nor did he come to look for me. On the contrary, Luc Tram's mother called my mother. When I ran over, the two sides were arguing in the bakery. As soon as she saw me, Luc Tram's mother immediately stood up angrily.
"Hua Duong, what do you want to do? Disturb the engagement ceremony, disrupt the company, and now even use a recording of unknown origin to separate A Tram and Tham Le. Are you determined to force it to the end before agreeing?"
