Chapter 5 — Being forced to divorce empty-handed, I made him empty-handed for the rest of his life

I showed her all the evidence that Tran Tu Ngang transferred assets and faked debts.

"Lam Mi, he never thought about ensuring you and the child. He let you give birth to the child, just because his parents respected men over women. When he got the money, the first person to be dumped... was you."

Lam Mi's face immediately changed: "You're talking nonsense!"

“Am I talking nonsense?” I took out my phone, opened the message, "See for yourself."

In the chat, Tran Tu Ngang clearly said: "Lam Mi is just a tool. After giving birth to a son, I will let her disappear. After dealing with To Van, I will take my son to find someone younger." After Lam Mi finished watching, her whole body trembled. She raised her head to look at me, her voice hoarse: "What do you want me to do?"

"Give me all the evidence in your hand. All the messages from Tran Tu Ngang telling you to hide assets, falsify evidence, along with proof of money transfers, I need them all."

“Where can I trust you?”

"Because you have no choice. Once Tran Tu Ngang loses the lawsuit, all the money in your hand has to be returned. But if you testify for me, I can not prosecute, and I will not ask for small transfers."

Lam Mi was silent for a long time. Finally, she took out her phone and sent me all the messages and transfer documents. Before leaving, she asked: "To Van, don't you hate me?" I looked at her, my voice calm: "Yes. But I hate the man who deceived me for ten years more." Lam Mi left. I looked at the phone screen full of evidence and sent lawyer Ly a text message.

"The evidence is enough. Prepare to open trial."

Lawyer Ly replied: "Ninety-nine percent chance of winning." I turned off the phone and looked out the window. Tran Tu Ngang, your end... has come. On the day of the trial, Tran Tu Ngang was dressed neatly, behind him was a newly hired famous lawyer. My husband's whole family sat in the audience, and my mother-in-law even glanced at me with disdain. I sat in the plaintiff's position, next to lawyer Ly, with all the evidence in my bag. The judge tapped his gavel: "The trial begins." Tran Tu Ngang's lawyer spoke first: "Your Honor, my client did not commit adultery during the marriage. The child who is considered a stepchild is actually an adopted child. Regarding the transfer of assets, that is a normal business activity. Plaintiff To Van had no income after getting married, but requested to divide the assets that my client built himself, which is unreasonable." The judge turned to me: "Does the plaintiff have any comments?" Lawyer Ly stood up: "Your Honor, we have enough evidence to prove that the defendant committed adultery during the marriage, intentionally dispersed common assets, and falsified debt." Tran Tu Ngang smirked and said in a low voice to the lawyer: "She's just threatening." Lawyer Ly took out the first evidence: "This is a video of the defendant living with the third person Lam Mi, filmed at apartment complex X, lasting two years." The screen in the courtroom played a video showing Tran Tu Ngang and Lam Mi going in and out together, behaving intimately. Tran Tu Ngang's face immediately changed. Lawyer Ly continued: "The second piece of evidence, the child's birth certificate, the father's part with Tran Tu Ngang's signature, has been handwritten." The judge looked at the defendant: "How do you explain?" Tran Tu Ngang tried to stay calm: "I signed when I was drunk, it's not the child my child.” The judge continued to ask: "Is it necessary to conduct a paternity test?" Tran Tu Ngang was confused: "I..." Lawyer Ly smiled: "No need. The defendant admitted the signature, that was enough. The third evidence, the bank statement shows that the defendant transferred two hundred thirty thousand to Lam Mi's brother's account. The fourth evidence is a fake contract to transfer the apartment purchased by the school district during the marriage to the defendant's parents' name. The fifth evidence, the certificate of debt of three hundred thousand provided by the defendant, was determined by the audit unit to be fake." Each piece of evidence was placed before the judge. Tran Tu Ngang's lawyer began to sweat: "Your Honor, these evidence... we need time to verify." Lawyer Ly did not stop: "The sixth evidence, all the text messages between the defendant and the third person, clearly discussed how to transfer assets and force the plaintiff to leave empty-handed. The seventh evidence, the recording of the defendant threatening the plaintiff, along with the criminal record of sending someone to invade a private house to intimidate." The judge looked at Tran Tu Ngang: "Defendant, are these evidences true?" Tran Tu Ngang jumped up and slammed the table: "Fake! It's all fake! To Van, you harmed me!” The judge banged his gavel: "Defendant keep order!"
