Chapter 5 — Forced to return 80 tables, I overturned the divorce table and left them empty-handed

I picked up the internal phone, my voice was calm and cold, without any fluctuation.

"Someone is causing trouble in my office, seriously affecting company order. We will handle it immediately."

In just a moment, two tall guards rushed in. One left, one right, hold Chu Hao's hands tightly.

"What are you doing! Let me go!"

"To Van! You bitch! You won't have a good ending!"

He was still screaming and cursing like crazy. I stepped in front of him, looking at his face contorted with anger and humiliation. I leaned close to his ear, my voice so low that only the two of us could hear.

“Chu Hao, this is just the beginning.”

"If you want me to be ruined... then I will make you empty-handed."

Having finished speaking, I stood up straight. Signal the guard.

“Take him out.”

Chu Hao was dragged away. His screams like a pissed off pig gradually faded away. The group of colleagues standing outside the door also voluntarily dispersed. The whole space... was finally quiet. 05 New turning point After Chu Hao was dragged away, the rumors in the company about me almost disappeared overnight. Instead, there was sympathy for me... and disdain for my "ex-husband's" family. I used a "public trial"... to overturn the entire situation. In the afternoon, my immediate superior, Deputy General Director Vuong, called me to his office. I thought he would criticize me, after all this would affect the company's image. But no. He just told me to sit down and poured me a cup of tea.

“To Van, you have worked hard.”

The first sentence… surprised me a bit.

“Everyone has difficulty talking about family matters, I understand.”

“You handled it very well, very decisively, and very moderately.”

“The company will not judge you because of this personal matter, just work with peace of mind.”

My heart suddenly warmed a little.

“Thank you, Mr. Wang.”

“But there is one thing I need to remind you.”

His expression turned serious.

"This morning, the company's most important partner, Thinh Duong Group, general director Lam, just came to discuss contract extension."

“At that time… he was in the reception room outside.”

My heart sank slightly. General Lam, Lam Trach Than. A legendary man in the business world, young, decisive, and extremely sharp in his tricks. And yet… witnessed all that drama? My face got a little hot. It's truly a loss of face to the point of home.

“Mr. Lam… say anything?” I asked carefully.

“He didn't say anything.”

The general shook his head.

“Just before I leave, please let me pass you a message.”

“He said… you have a lot of courage.”

"In addition, Thinh Duong Group's legal department is the top in the country. If you need it, he is ready to help."

I was completely stunned. Lam Ze Than... want to help me? We've never even met. When I walked out of the office, my mind was still confused. Back at work, assistant Tieu Tran gave me a business card.

“Director To, this is what President Lam's secretary left behind.”

A simple black business card with delicate gold-plated lettering. Just a name and a phone number. Lam Trach Than. I held the business card, feeling a bit complicated. Is this… a help, or an opportunity? At that moment, my phone rang. I answered the phone.

"To Van! You cruel woman!"

On the other end of the line was the shrill cry of Trieu Xuan Mai.

“Hotel today Also called asking for money! Relatives laughed in our faces!”

“You want to force my whole family to die!”

It's still the same old tone, changing white for black, familiar taunting. If it were before, maybe I would have softened. But now… my heart is as hard as stone.

“First, the hotel bill is yours to spend, it has nothing to do with me.”

I coldly interrupted.

“Second, being laughed at by others is because you did something embarrassing, and it has nothing to do with me.”

“Third, if you continue to call and harass me, I will directly report to the police.”

I didn't give her a chance to say more. Drag the number to the blacklist. Right after that, my mother called again. Her voice was clearly tired.

“Van Van, people from the Chu family have arrived.”

"They came to my grandmother's house, cried loudly, said I was unfilial, and said my family bullied them."

“There were so many neighbors coming out to watch, my grandmother was so angry that she almost had a heart attack.”

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. The Chu family... is truly no-nonsense.
