Chapter 8 — Husband Announces Stepson as Heir, And I Reach Top 47 Global Assets

Pretend to be busy. Jink. Pity. Even gloating. They all turned into needles that stabbed straight into his body. He wanted to find someone to talk to. But found out again. A large corporation. Yet there was not a single person for him to open his mouth to. Luc Thanh Vien staggered out of the Luc Thi building. The sunlight was blinding. But he felt cold all over his body. He didn't know where he should go. Return to that cold mansion? Or go find Anya and the son he once considered everything? But just think of those two. A feeling of frustration and disgust arose in his heart. He started the car. Drive aimlessly on crowded streets. Right at that moment. The phone suddenly rang. It's a strange number. He picked up the phone. On the other end of the line came Chu Dich's voice.

“Mr. Luc.”

“I called to remind you of something.”

“Three days later, the new Luc Thi Group will hold a meeting of shareholders and board of directors.”

“At the same time, announced the new chairman of the board of directors and future development strategy.”

“As a shareholder holding 10% of the shares.”

“You are required to attend.”

Luc Thanh Vien tightened his grip on the phone. Finger joints turn white. He asked hoarsely.

“Who bought my company anyway?”

“Who is the person behind Summer Solstice?”

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds. Chu Dich replied in a calm, almost cruel tone.

“Until then.”

“You will know for yourself.”

“I guarantee.”

“That will be a day that I will never forget for the rest of my life.”

The phone is disconnected. Luc Thanh Vien parked his car on the side of the road. Hold your head with both hands. A hoarse growl emerged from his throat like a cornered animal. He wants to know the answer. Want to know who it is. Who used such cruel tricks? Steal everything he owns. He must know. Congress after three days. It became the only obsession that supported him to continue living. He wanted to see it with his own eyes. The hidden person behind it all. After all, it's about how scary the character is. He said. It will be a session to answer all doubts. But he didn't know. It was essentially a trial. A trial of arrogance. And his own ten-year stupidity. Three days later. Luc Thanh Vien put on his most expensive suit. He carefully combed his hair. Shave off the beard on your chin. Try not to look too struggling. That's the last bit of pride. Also his last resistance. When entering the familiar large meeting room of the corporation, which can accommodate more than three hundred people. All eyes in the hall turned to him. Some people pity me. Some people have regrets. But what's more is coldness and distance. Because of this place. It's no longer his home turf. He saw many familiar faces. Shareholders and senior leaders used to flatter me. This moment. They are surrounding new CEO Ly Tu. Along with strange faces from Summer Solstice Investment. Everyone laughed and talked happily. Life is hot and cold. People's hearts change. Expressed clearly to the point of nakedness. Position in the middle of the chairman's podium. The place that had always belonged to him. Currently still blank. That is the seat for the new owner who is about to appear. As for his position. Arranged in the far corner of the front row again. One seat belongs only to small shareholders. That huge difference. It was like an invisible slap hit him hard in the face. Luc Thanh Vien sat down. Face without emotion. The back is still straight. Like a statue lost in the crowd. The meeting started on time. Chu Dich, representing Summer Solstice Investment, stepped up to the podium to speak. He briefly introduced the background of the acquisition. Then announced the establishment of a new leadership board of Luc Thi Group. The whole process happened quickly. And cold. Luc Thanh Vien's heart sank little by little with Chu Dich's words. Chu Dich stopped. The volume is increased.

“Everyone is invited to give the warmest round of applause to welcome the new Chairman of the Board of Directors of Luc Thi Group.”

“Founder of Summer Solstice Investment.”

“Miss Wen Zhixia.”

An unfamiliar name. A trace of doubt appeared in Luc Thanh Vien's heart. He raised his head. With everyone looking at the large door of the meeting room slowly opening. He wants to know. This woman named Wen Zhixia. Who is it in the end? The door opened. Under the attentive gaze of the entire hall. A figure slowly walked in. She wore a perfectly tailored white suit. Long hair tied back in a bun. Revealing a bright forehead and a delicate neck like a swan. Every step is leisurely.
