Chapter 18
Chapter 18 — Forced to return 80 tables, I overturned the divorce table and left them empty-handed
21 Tran Ai calmed down, my heart had a place to belong. I left Lam Thi Group, leaving behind Tan Lam sitting alone on the top floor, his expression lost and soulless as if he had just lost the whole world. I know she will bow her head, because the evidence is enough to drag her and the entire Qin family into the abyss with no way out. Of course, I didn't find those things, but Lam Trach Than. Before I went to meet Tan Lam, I told him about my father's workshop. The other end of the phone was silent for a long time and then only said two words. Just an hour later, his top assistant appeared in front of me, handing me an encrypted USB, his voice calm but respectful.
"Miss To, this is what Lam told me to pass on to you. He said... this is a weapon for you to counterattack, as for his mother, I will handle it myself, but the battle belongs to you. I hope you will win with your own hands."
I held that tiny USB tightly, filled with countless emotions. This man always silently cleared away all obstacles for me, but still kept the most precious thing for me. Self-esteem. When I returned to the hospital, as soon as I reached the door, I heard my mother's voice full of excitement, trembling and happy as if I couldn't believe my eyes.
“Dear man, please see!”
I pushed the door open and walked in, seeing my dad sitting up, his hand holding the phone shaking, his eyes filled with surprise as if he had just witnessed a miracle. His phone continuously receives messages and calls.
"Boss To, sorry sorry! We will deliver the ingredients immediately!"
“We have no eyes, the order not only did not cancel but also tripled!”
“The bank has approved you for a three-year interest-free extension!”
Good news poured in like rain. My father held the phone with his hands shaking. He looked at me, his eyes red.
“Van Van… what is this?”
I walked over and held his hand, my voice was as light as the wind but steady as a rock.
“It's okay, everything... is over.”
At that moment my phone also rang, it was the communications director of Lam Thi Group, her voice was so respectful that it seemed like she was talking to a superior.
"May I ask, are you To Van? I was assigned by General Tan to discuss with you about purchasing your family's factory."
"Lam Thi Group is willing to buy back at three times the market price, and at the same time invite Mr. To Quoc Cuong to hold the title of honorary director for life, and enjoy deputy general treatment."
I turned on the speakerphone, every word on the phone rang out clearly, my parents stood there... completely dumbfounded. I looked at them, smiled slightly, then calmly spoke into the phone.
“Okay, bring the contract to my company tomorrow.”
My father looked at me, wanting to say something, but I shook my head and spoke softly as if to comfort him.
"Dad, you don't need to say anything. This is what they owe you. Now they can give it back. You can rest assured and recuperate. In the future, just live comfortably."
That evening, both Lam Thi Group and Thinh Duong Group released a shocking announcement, Lam Thi purchased the To family's food factory at a high price, and Thinh Duong announced a news that shook the entire business world. Chairman Lam Trach Than... is engaged to To Van. The wedding will take place after a month. That news was like a bomb exploding in the sky, spreading throughout the business world and then into society, taking with it all eyes and gossip. From a woman who was betrayed by her husband's family Oppressed, pitied and despised, in the blink of an eye, he stood in a position that countless people would never reach in their entire lives. All the eyes that once looked down on me... were silent. My phone almost exploded with messages and calls, some congratulating, some flattery, some getting to know each other. I don't answer to anyone. I turned off the phone, sat next to my father's hospital bed, and quietly looked out the window. Moonlight falls, gentle like water. I know, from this moment... my life has turned a page. I am no longer To Van who has to endure and bow my head for anyone. I am Lam Trach Than's fiancee. A woman who will stand next to him, on equal footing with him. And my future… is as bright as a galaxy.
