Chapter 7 — Forced to return 80 tables, I overturned the divorce table and left them empty-handed

I took out my phone and opened a video. In the video, Chu Hao and a young girl are sitting in a luxury restaurant, having intimate gestures, feeding each other. The background music is a romantic candlelight dinner. Filming time... was last month. My third marriage anniversary. That day, he told me he had to work overtime.

“This girl's name is Liu Qian Qian, she's a new intern at your company, right?”

“The apartment you rented for her, the monthly rent is 5,000 yuan… it was also swiped from my supplementary card, right?”

“Chu Hao, do you still need me to say more?”

Chu Hao looked at the video, his face immediately turned pale, there was no blood left. He let go of my hand and staggered back two steps. It's all... done. That was the only thought left in his mind right now. I put my phone away and looked around at the neighbors.

“Aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters.”

"Bad things at home shouldn't be talked about, but today they forced me to the point where I couldn't help but say it."

"I, To Van, have been married to the Chu family for three years and have never done anything wrong to anyone."

“But what I got in return was endless exploitation… and betrayal.”

“Today, I just want to take back what belongs to me, start my own life again.”

“If even that is wrong… then I accept it.”

Having finished speaking, I bowed deeply. After that, I held my parents' hands.

“Dad, mom, let's go home.”

Under everyone's gaze. We walked through the crowd and into the stairs. Behind, was the sound of Trieu Xuan Mai crying hysterically. Along with the sound of Chu Hao roaring in despair. But all those sounds... could no longer reach me. I took my parents back to my small apartment. Close the door, block out all the noise outside. My mother looked at me, her eyes red. She held my hand, her lips trembled but she couldn't say anything. In the end, she only uttered one sentence.

"Van Van... it's my fault for you."

My father stood next to me and sighed heavily. He patted my shoulder, his voice hoarse.

“Dad supports you, do whatever you want.”

“The daughter of the To family… cannot be bullied for no reason.”

My heart suddenly tightened, tears almost fell. I shook my head, trying to smile.

“Dad, Mom, it's over.”

I have never been better than I am now. After arranging for my parents to rest, I returned to my room. Standing in front of the window, looking out at the city shining with lights like a galaxy. The phone suddenly rang. I thought it was someone from the Chu family who was harassing me. Look closely... it's a strange number. I picked up the phone, my voice cold. On the other end of the line, a low, powerful male voice rang out.

“Is it Ms. To Van?”

“I am Lam Ze Than.”

I was stunned. Lam Ze Than? Is that Lam Trach Than of Thinh Duong Group?

“General Lam?” I asked again uncertainly.

There was a slight hint of laughter in his voice.

“This morning at your company, I was quite impressed with the way you handled it.”

My face got a little hot. That whole drama… it turned out he had witnessed it from beginning to end.

“Let me laugh.”

“You have a lot of courage.”

He paused for a moment then continued.

“I heard Mr. Vuong say, you intend to resolve it by law.”

“Thinh Duong's legal department has handled many similar cases.”

“If you need it, they can help.”

“I will bear all costs.”

I was completely stunned. What is this… what is it? Opportunity falls from the sky?

“General Lam… I don't understand.”

“We don't know each other, why are you helping me?”

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds. Then I heard him laugh softly.

“Let's just say… a pioneer enjoys someone with potential.”

“Miss To, you deserve better.”

Phone turned off. I still held the black business card with gold trim in my hand. Lam Trach Than. The name has only ever appeared in financial magazines. Now he entered my life in an unexpected way. This is an opportunity. A rare opportunity... for me to completely escape the quagmire called the Chu family. I didn't hesitate for long. I called the remaining number on the business card.
