Chapter 16 — Husband Announces Stepson as Heir, And I Reach Top 47 Global Assets

He raised his glass of wine.

“For the future.”

I raise my glass. Gently touched his glass. Then drink it dry. That brief confrontation. Attracted the attention of the entire hall. Everyone understands. From today. On the world asset map. A new star from the East has officially appeared. Cannot hide. And the name of the On family. The family was silent for nearly a century. Will also use the strongest position. Back to the top of the world. The evening party ended. I returned to the presidential suite where I stayed. Uncle Tan was waiting at the door.

“Eldest lady.”

“Everything went very smoothly.”

I replied softly. Take off your high heels. Walk barefoot on a soft carpet. Then step in front of the ground-level glass window. Zoom out to see the panoramic view of Davos with brilliant lights.

“Is there any news in the country?”

I asked leisurely. Uncle Tan hesitated a bit. Finally speaking up.

“Luc Thanh Vien...”

“Going to the company today to cause trouble.”

“Was kicked out by security.”

“I heard that morale is very bad right now.”

There was no emotion on my face. I just quietly looked at the night scene outside. Like the story he just told. Just the story of a stranger.

“Yes, young lady.”

“Notice down below.”

“Freeze all dividends from the 10% shares in his name.”

"Simultaneously."

“In the name of Summer Solstice Investment.”

“Apply to the court.”

“Revocation of ownership of the villa he is living in.”

“Used to offset debt due to embezzlement of public funds to buy luxury goods for An Nha and her mother in the past.”

Uncle Tan was slightly shocked. He understood. This is the real fatal blow. Luc Thanh Vien's last refuge. With some remaining dignity. Will be completely stripped away.

“Yes, young lady.”

I turned around. The late afternoon light of the day covered his cold face.

“I want to contact all the world's leading financial newspapers.”

"Tomorrow."

“Their front page.”

“My name must appear.”

“Along with the entire value of my assets.”

What I want. It wasn't just that he lost everything. What I want. Is to let him live his whole life in regret. In looking up. In despair. I wanted him to see it with his own eyes. The woman he threw away like a worthless item in the past. After all, how huge the treasure is. I want that distance between heaven and abyss. Becoming a nightmare that he can never escape from. Early the next morning. Sunlight shines through the dusty windows of the cheap motel. Shining on Luc Thanh Vien's extremely emaciated face. A headache from a night of drinking made him groan in pain. He sat up with difficulty. Looking at the small, damp, musty room. Spider webs cover the corner of the wall. The bed sheet has turned black and gray. There was also an unpleasant sour smell in the air. Everything is reminding him. That he has come from the top of the clouds. Fall straight into the mud. He reached for his pants pocket. Inside there were only a few wrinkled bills left. Not even enough to buy a pack of cigarettes. Luc Thanh Vien laughed at himself. Then he dragged his heavy body out of the motel. He needs to find something to eat. Even if it's someone else's leftovers. This moment. He is nothing more than a real wanderer. Indeterminate step above street. Passersby who saw him stayed away. It's like avoiding a plague. But he no longer cares. His heart had been numb for a long time. Right at that moment. A newsstand on the corner caught his eye. The boss is displaying the latest newspapers and magazines in the most prominent position. Which is almost all the covers. The same person appeared. I stand on top of the world. So bright that it makes people unable to look straight. That light made Luc Thanh Vien's eyes sting. As if possessed by a ghost. He stepped forward. My eyes stopped on the most prestigious financial magazine in the world. He reads every number. People who appear on the cover of this magazine. They are all characters with the ability to influence the global situation. But today. The person on the cover is his ex-wife. The giant red headline stands out. Straight into the reader's eyes.

“The Coming of the Queen of the East: Wen Zhixia and the Wen Family Empire Behind Her!”

Right below. Is a smaller line of text. But it's even more shocking.

“Global wealth rankings for the year XX updated in real time: Wen Zhixia owns a personal fortune of 98,000,000,000 US dollars, ranked 47th in the world!”

Luc Thanh Vien felt like his mind was exploded by a bomb.
