Chapter 22 — Husband Gifted 8 Million Yuan Villa to Thanh Mai, I Recovered All Assets

Once that document was sent to the lawyer's office, I was no longer panicking. As for the falsely signed papers, I had prepared myself mentally in advance. But when I saw with my own eyes my own signature grafted onto an unfamiliar commitment, I still found it ridiculous and absurd. The content of the document is clearly stated.

"I, Khuong Thu Y, voluntarily give up all rights related to my current house.

Agree to let Ha Tranh have full authority to dispose of this real estate." The signature is real. But the date is fake. Tan Tri Vien placed the paper under the lamp and observed it for a long time.

"The signature page and the body text are not printed in the same batch."

"The paper fibers and the time the ink adheres to the paper are completely different."

"Can be assessed."

Ha Tranh sat next to him, his face gray.

"This page was signed by me at the hospital two years ago."

"At that time, you said you used it to make the company's audit records."

I looked at him.

"What you called 'just in case'... turned out to be digging a hole to bury me."

Ha Tranh's voice was hoarse.

"At that time, I never intended to use it on the house."

"Later Lam Niem So said, if you don't cooperate, both the project and the house will be blocked by you."

"She told me to gather all the documents that could be used."

I smiled softly.

"So I did."

He bowed his head. This admission comes too late. But at least... It filled out the last piece of the puzzle. Tan Tri Vien quickly arranged the appraisal. At the same time, Lam Niem So and Han Lap Minh were placed under measures to restrict the transfer of assets to serve the investigation. The company accounts in the names of both people were frozen. The lakeside villa transaction was officially cancelled. The house that she once showed off on social networks seemed like the beginning of a new life... In the end, only a series of cold contract codes remained. Three days later... The appraisal results were announced. The time the signature was created and the content did not match at all. The document had additional content after signing. Also on that day, Ha Tranh submitted a written report, admitting the origin of the falsely signed papers, and confirming that their use without my actual consent could not be used as a basis for property disposition. The first time Phuong Mai proactively sought me out... It was in the lobby of the law office. She no longer looks as bossy as before. Hair is a bit messy. The face is also more haggard.

"I know you don't want to see me."

I stopped walking. Her eyes were red.

"My mother treated me poorly before."

"I always thought that if you marry into the Ha family, you have to be patient."

"Mom was wrong."

That apology... Has appeared in countless of my fantasies. But when I actually heard it... I didn't feel any joy in my heart. There is only silence. I looked at her.

"I don't apologize because I know I'm wrong."

"I'm sorry... because I lost."

Phuong Mai's face immediately turned pale. I continued walking. She called after him.

"What about Dau Dau?"

"After this... will you still get to see her?"

I turned my head to look at her.

"When Dau Dau grows up, if she wants to meet you..."

"That will be your own choice."

"And before that day comes..."

"I hope you will comply with the regulations."

Phuong Mai's shoulders slowly collapsed. I didn't look at her again. Two months later... All procedures were completed one by one. The divorce agreement is confirmed to take effect. Can The current house has officially been transferred to my name. Savings and all assets that can be divided during the marriage period are done according to the agreement. Ha Tranh waives the right to dispute custody of Dau Dau and fulfills his monthly support obligation. The deposit for the lakeside villa and all money transfers to Lam Niem So are included in the collection list. The forged guarantee documents were also annulled. The bank conducted a re-investigation of the responsibilities of the individuals involved. Ha Giai Giai left her working position. Ha Tranh's company suffered heavy losses. He was forced to sell part of his shares to fill the financial hole, reluctantly keeping the project. As for Lin Niem Chu... She no longer posts any more photos wearing a white dress by the lake in her family group. The so-called partnership between her and Han Lap Minh... In the end, it became a series of financial transactions that she could not explain. I heard she left the hotel. Where to go after that... I don't ask anymore. I don't care if she lives a good or bad life. What I care about... Is just whether the things that originally belonged to me have returned or not. When spring comes... I clean up the balcony. Dau Dau sat in front of a small desk, attentively practicing his writing. After finishing her homework, she suddenly ran to hug me.

"Mom, the teacher told us to write the essay 'My Family'."

"Can I just write about the two of us?"

I smiled and patted my child's head.

"Of course."

The girl thought seriously for a moment.

"So can you write more about the small plant pot that Uncle Tan gave you?"

"So... what about dad?"

After asking, she looked at me a little nervously. I don't shy away.

"If you want to write, just write."

"If you don't want to..."

"There's no need to force yourself."

Dau Dau obediently nodded.

"So I won't write for now."

"Wait until you're no longer afraid and then think about it."

My heart softened slightly. Ha Tranh visited Dau Dau according to the agreed schedule. The location is the open living area of the children's center. I sat not far away. He brought her a drawing book. Dau Dau accepted it. But he no longer rushed into his father's arms like before. A look of loss flashed in Ha Tranh's eyes. But he was not reluctant. He just sat quietly next to his child, drawing with him for half an hour. When he was about to leave... He walked in front of me.

"From now on, I will follow all the rules."

I calmly replied.

"I hope you remember well."

He looked at me for a long time. Then asked softly.

"Are you living well now?"

I looked towards the window. Dau Dau is carefully putting the drawing book in his bag. Sunlight covered the child's face. A light and clear smile. I smiled. Ha Tranh's eyes were red.

"That's good."

After he left... Dau Dau ran to hold my hand.

"Let's go home."

I gently squeezed that small hand. On the way back... The wind blew from the lake, bringing gentle warmth. I suddenly remembered the contract to buy a villa worth eight million yuan last year. I thought I lost a marriage. Only later did I understand... What I got back... was myself. In the evening, Dau Dau showed me the essay. The title is "My Family." The child wrote:

"My house is not big, but very bright.

Mom said, home is not a house given to you by someone. Home is where I am You can rest assured and get a good night's sleep." After reading... The corners of my eyes felt hot. Dau Dau raised his head and asked:

"Mom, do I write well?"

I held my child in my arms.

"It's really nice."

Outside the window... The city lights gradually brightened. I no longer look back at those eight years. Because from today onwards... Every step I take... Belongs only to myself.
