Chapter 9 — Husband Announces Stepson as Heir, And I Reach Top 47 Global Assets

But he carries an aura that makes others dare not underestimate him. It's like every step steps on everyone's heartbeat. She did not wear any elaborate jewelry. But it's her. It was the most blinding light. That is the temperament forged through many years of standing at the highest position. The aura of someone used to holding power. Used to deciding the fate of others. So powerful that it takes one's breath away. The moment she entered the hall. The light illuminates that face. The entire meeting room immediately fell silent. So quiet that you can clearly hear breathing. Everyone took a deep breath at the same time. Luc Thanh Vien's pupils constricted violently. In just a blink of an eye, it was as small as a pinhead. His mind was completely blank. Time seemed to stop in that moment. That face. The face he had looked at for ten years. So familiar that it couldn't be more familiar. Not Wen Qing. The woman in front of her had the same face as Wen Qing. But eyes. Everything has changed to a landslide. If Wen Qing used to be like a warm and gentle jade. Then the woman in front of me. It was a sharp sword that had just left its sheath. The sword light was cold. Sharp to the point of being blinding. Luc Thanh Vien felt his heart being squeezed by someone. Difficulty breathing to the point of almost suffocation. He looked at me blankly. Watch me step by step up to the podium. Stepping to the position that once belonged to him. Wen Zhixia's gaze faintly swept across the entire hall. Finally stopped on Luc Thanh Vien. Less than half a second. That look. It's like looking at a stranger who has nothing to do with you. I took the microphone. The clear but ice-cold voice rang clearly in everyone's ears.

“I am Wen Zhixia.”

“From today onwards.”

“This place…”

“It's up to me to decide.”

I am Wen Zhixia. From today. This place is decided by me. Just two short sentences. But he carries the aura of a person standing at the top of power. Don't allow anyone to doubt. The whole hall was as quiet as paper. Not a sound. Everyone was so shocked by this earth-shattering reversal that they were speechless. Who would have thought? The woman was once publicly humiliated by her husband in front of all shareholders. People leave empty-handed. The person who once became the laughing stock of the whole city. Appeared again with the posture of a returning king. I didn't come back to beg. Don't come back to cry and tell your suffering. I'm back. To take back what belongs to you. To be more precise... Taking back the things I once gave to others. Luc Thanh Vien felt the blood in his body freeze. He stared at me on the podium. It was like he wanted to pierce my entire body with his eyes. On Tri Ha... That moment. All the clues are connected together. The partners suddenly turned against each other. Suppliers cut off supplies. Banks coldly recover capital. The invisible hand pulled him into the abyss. It turned out to belong to the woman he despised the most. It's so ridiculous. He is unacceptable. Better to believe that we were defeated by a powerful commercial competitor. Better than admitting that. The one who destroyed everything was the woman he once gave him that you have to rely on yourself to survive. That was more painful than killing him.

“No way…”

“No way…”

He muttered like a lost soul. His face was as white as paper. The full content of the meeting follows. He couldn't hear a word. He only saw me standing on stage. Use foreign languages fluently to communicate with international investors via online screens. Calmly deploy future development strategies. Every decision is correct. There was no hesitation at all. The new senior leaders looked at me with eyes full of respect and admiration. Even the old gods who had followed Luc Thi for many years. This time is like finding a pillar. Continuously nodding in agreement. Until then. Luc Thanh Vien just discovered it. What he knows about me. How shallow and ridiculous. He always assumed. I'm just a good wife. A great assistant. Until today. He just understood. I am a hibernating lion. And him. Just a stupid hyena allowed by a lion to frolic in his territory. The meeting ended. I was surrounded by a group of senior leaders, preparing to leave. Right at that moment. Luc Thanh Vien suddenly jumped up from his chair. Like crazy, rushing straight towards me.
