Chapter 13 — Husband Takes Tieu Tam to Duc, I Immediately Lock 2.9 Million Yuan of Joint Account
I raised my head to look at him. Haven't opened my mouth yet. Lawyer Tran's phone also rang. He answered the phone for a few seconds. His face suddenly became extremely serious.
“Miss Trinh.”
“The court just announced.”
“Shen Nghien Chu submitted a video showing her signing her name.”
“The person appearing in the video...”
“I'm actually wearing your clothes.”
After hearing what lawyer Tran said, my first reaction was not panic. I just want to laugh. To drag me down into this mud puddle, Tham Nghien Chu had prepared much earlier than I thought. For three months now he has been talking about the project in Germany. Say it's the future. Three months ago, he had begun to pave the way for his betrayal. Ha Vy's face turned pale.
“What video?”
“Tri Ha, when did you sign?”
I shook my head.
“I didn't sign.”
But Tham Nghien Chu seems to have just found some confidence again. He looked at me. The voice calmed down.
“Tri Ha, I don't want to push things too far.”
“I originally didn't intend to take that video out.”
“But you pushed me to the point where there was no way back.”
I looked at him.
“It's true that you have real bravery.”
“Every sentence you say can perfectly throw dirty water on someone else.”
Duong Man stood behind him. A look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
“Ms. Trinh.”
“If it's signed, it's signed.”
“It's useless for you to deny it now.”
“The court cannot only listen to one side of your story.”
I didn't pay any attention to her. But turned to ask lawyer Tran:
“Is it possible to get that video?”
Lawyer Tran replied:
“The court will conduct an assessment.”
“But we can ask to see the documents the other side submitted.”
“If there are signs of collage or counterfeiting...”
“The consequences will be very serious.”
Tham Nghien Chu's face changed slightly. I immediately caught that change. On the contrary, I feel more secure. Real evidence... Don't be afraid of being appraised. Only fakes are afraid of being closely scrutinized. At that moment, Cao Minh Thanh spoke:
“Miss Trinh.”
“If two people are having a dispute over property.”
"The company recommends temporarily suspending all foreign actions."
“We can temporarily hide online posts.”
“And you should stop sending documents to the press or media platforms.”
I turned my head to look at him.
“Are you teaching me to shut up?”
Cao Minh Thanh's face darkened.
“I'm just leaving a way out for everyone.”
“If you reveal the whole thing.”
“Shen Nghiem Chu is ruined.”
“Hang Rui is affected.”
“I'm not sure if you can fully retreat.”
I picked up my bag.
“Then we can't retreat together anymore.”
“I have no other advantages.”
“There is only one bad habit.”
“Who stole my money…”
“I will bite to the end.”
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the meeting room. Lawyer Dieu went out to answer the phone. When you come back. His face was clearly different. He leaned close to Cao Minh Thanh's ear and whispered a few words. Cao Minh Thanh's face also changed.
“Is there any more good news?”
Lawyer Dieu looked at me.
“The project file archive has lost part of the original documents.”
“Includes original certificate of joint debt.”
“And also the mortgage appraisal of Ms. Trinh's pre-marital home.”
Lawyer Tran immediately stood up.
“Your company's documents are lost.”
“Again, it is directly related to my client.”
“Recommend immediately Seal off all surveillance cameras.”
Duong Man's hand holding the bag strap unconsciously tightened. I looked over at her. She immediately avoided my eyes. Tham Nghien Chu also took a look at her. His eyes were very heavy. There was no pity in those eyes. Just a warning. Suddenly I understood. They have never been a unified bloc. When there's money left. They are allies. When the money is gone. Everyone wants to put a knife in someone else's hand. I looked at lawyer Dieu.
“Who has the right to enter the archive?”
He replied:
“Project leader.”
“Legal department.”
“And the corporate partner's assistant.”
I looked towards Duong Man.
“Partner assistant?”
Duong Man gritted his teeth.
“What are you looking at me for?”
“Today I was with Nghien Chu the whole time.”
Ha Vy coldly continued:
"In the morning, you said your body was not feeling well."
“In the afternoon, I ran to the rescue company.”
“Recovering really fast.”
Duong Man's face was sometimes red, sometimes white. Tham Nghien Chu shouted:
“Trinh Tri Ha.”
“Isn't your goal just money?”
“Now the account has been blocked.”
“I can't win.”
“Just withdraw your application.”
“Posted a statement saying it was all a misunderstanding.”
“You may not get a divorce.”
“We will still be the same as before.”
I looked at him. Suddenly I felt a cold feeling in my stomach.
“You think not getting divorced is a reward?”
“Tham Nghien Chu.”
“Who gave you that confidence?”
His face immediately turned pale. Right at that moment. Lawyer Tran gave me the phone.
“Photo of the document sent by the court.”
“Look at the cover photo of the video.”
I bowed my head. In the screenshot. A woman is sitting in front of a desk in my study room. I'm wearing my light gray lounge suit. The hair obscures part of the face. She bowed her head and signed the document. The bottom corner of the screen displays the time. 11:42 p.m. last Wednesday night. I stared at that outfit. That night... I was at the hospital with Ha Vy getting a health check-up. Absolutely not at home. That outfit. Yes, I have a set. Not true. Suddenly I zoomed in on the photo. On the woman's left wrist there is a very small red mole. I don't have it. But Duong Man's face turned pale at that moment. Ha Vy also saw it. She immediately raised her head.
“Duong Man.”
“Give me your wrist, let me see.”
