Chapter 18 — Husband Gifted 8 Million Yuan Villa to Thanh Mai, I Recovered All Assets

17When I heard Dau Dau's voice, my heart felt like it was being squeezed by a hand. But I didn't fall. I understand too well. If I were to be confused right now... Lam Niem Chu would only be more pleased. I tried to keep my voice low.

"Dau Dau, mom is downstairs."

"Be obedient and sit still, don't eat anything strangers give you."

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds. Dau Dau replied in a low voice:

"I don't eat."

"Mom, I still remember what you told me."

Just that sentence is enough to make my nose sting. Very soon, Lam Niem So picked up the phone again.

"Sister Thu Y, she is very smart."

"So... you should also be a little smart."

I looked at Tan Tri Vien. He used another phone to contact people outside. I told Lam Niem So:

"I can go up."

"But first, let me make sure Dau Dau is safe."

Lam Niem So smiled softly.

"Sixteenth floor, room 1608."

"Only you are allowed in."

After hanging up the phone, Ha Tranh immediately reached out to stop me.

"I can't go in there alone."

I looked at him.

"Do you now know the danger?"

Ha Tranh's face turned pale.

"Thu Y, I know I was wrong."

"But Dau Dau is also my daughter."

I don't have time to listen to him repent. Tan Tri Vien lowered his voice and reminded:

"Don't follow her rhythm."

"I reported it to the police and the building management."

"You just take the time first."

I nodded slightly. When I stepped into the elevator, Ha Tranh also followed. I glanced at him. His voice was hoarse.

"I won't move forward."

"I just want to see Dau Dau."

The elevator door closed. The hallway on the sixteenth floor was strangely quiet. There is no one in front of room 1608. I raised my hand and knocked on the door. From inside came Lam Niem So's voice. Inside is a small meeting room. Dau Dau is sitting on the sofa in the corner of the room. The baby doesn't cry. Just a small, pale face. As soon as she saw me, she immediately stood up. I just took a step towards my child. Lam Niem So slammed a file on the table.

"Sign first."

Han Lap Minh sat next to him, holding his phone in his hand. He smiled slightly.

"Miss Khuong."

"Everyone is a presentable person."

"You have to do everything to such an unsightly level."

I looked down at the documents on the table. Mediation agreement. Withdraw request for asset freeze. Give up the right to reclaim the lakeside villa and all transferred funds. Acknowledge that the guarantee contract is valid. Agree to renegotiate the right to raise Dau Dau. Each clause... Is like a blade. Not crashing into me. It's a direct stab at Dau Dau's safety in the future. I raised my head to look at Lam Niem So.

"Do you really think..."

"Shall I sign?"

Her eyes turned red.

"You are required to sign."

"You ruined my house."

"Destroying my company."

"Now I even want to destroy Mr. Tranh."

I calmly replied:

"Those things..."

"It's all the stuff you stole."

Lam Niem So immediately stood up.

"I didn't rob."

"It was Ha Tranh who volunteered for me."

"Aunt Phuong also volunteered to help me."

"In their eyes..."

"You don't deserve those things."

Finally... She doesn't need to pretend anymore. The weak mask cracked. Revealing that there is only resentment inside. Ha Tranh stood at the door. His face was extremely unsightly. Lam Niem So just saw it His eyes flashed with panic.

"Brother Tranh?"

Ha Tranh's voice was hoarse and scary.

"I brought Dau Dau here..."

"Just to force her to sign?"

Lam Niem So's eyes immediately turned red.

"I really have no other choice."

"Everyone is forcing me."

"If you don't do that..."

"I won't have anything left."

I walked to Dau Dau's side and pulled her into my arms. This time Lam Niem So tried to reach out to stop him. But at that moment... There was the sound of rapid footsteps outside the door. The building's security staff and police entered at the same time. Han Lap Minh's expression immediately changed and he quickly stood up.

"This is just a family conflict."

Tan Tri Vien walked in from behind.

"This is not a family conflict."

"There are signs of impersonating another person, forging power of attorney, arbitrarily taking a minor away from school, and at the same time using the child to force the person involved to sign documents related to property."

Lam Niem So's face immediately turned pale.

"I do not have."

At that moment, Dau Dau raised his head. Her voice is very small. But every word is extremely clear.

"She said..."

"If mom doesn't sign..."

"I won't be able to go home to mom."

"She also said..."

"Mom robbed my aunt's house."

The whole room immediately fell silent. Lam Niem So stiffened in place. Ha Tranh was also crucified. I hugged Dau Dau tightly in my heart.

"Mom is here."

The police began taking statements. The settlement agreement on the table was photographed and sealed as evidence. Lam Niem So still wanted to cry. But this time... No one is swayed by her tears anymore. When Phuong Mai and Ha Giai Giai ran over, Dau Dau was already lying peacefully in my arms. Seeing Lam Niem So being taken aside to give testimony, Phuong Mai was completely stunned.

"Niem So..."

"Are you really taking Dau Dau away?"

Lam Niem So did not look at her. She just stared at me. In those eyes... There is no longer any fake intimacy of the call "sister-in-law". Only naked unwillingness remains. I held Dau Dau's hand and left the building. Ha Tranh quietly followed behind. Many times he wanted to open his mouth. But I never turned back. Right before getting in the car, Dau Dau suddenly took out a piece of paper from his schoolbag.

"This is because Aunt Niem So told me to practice writing first."

I took it. On the piece of paper... Repeating just three words. Khuong Thu Y. My signature. Tan Tri Vien just glanced at it. His face immediately darkened.

"She didn't suddenly have an idea."

"She's teaching the child to imitate her signature."
