Chapter 3 — Husband Takes Tieu Tam to Duc, I Immediately Lock 2.9 Million Yuan of Joint Account

Customer manager of Khuong bank. She was waiting for me in the VIP room. As soon as she saw me walk in, she immediately observed my face.

“Ms. Trinh, are you sure you want to do the procedure today?”

I put my bag on the table.

"Sure."

Manager Khuong stood up and closed the door.

“The current balance in the joint account is two million nine hundred and six thousand four hundred and thirty-two yuan.”

"There is a part of the term deposit in there. If you withdraw it before maturity, you will lose part of the interest."

I raised my head.

“How much did it cost?”

She typed a few things on the keyboard.

“More than thirty-one thousand yuan.”

“Let's count it.”

Manager Khuong paused.

“Does your husband know about this?”

I opened my bag and took out a file.

“This is a pre-marital property certificate.”

“This is the house sale document.”

“Here are all my income statements from my personal projects.”

“This is an authorization agreement when opening a joint ownership account.”

I pulled out the last page and pushed it towards her.

“The terms are very clear.”

“Any cardholder has the right to request account closure.”

“And transfer the entire balance to a personal account of the same name.”

After Manager Khuong finished reading, his attitude immediately became more serious.

“In terms of procedures, it is completely valid.”

“But the amount is quite large, I need to report it to the risk control department.”

“Just report it.”

She looked at me.

“Miss Trinh, can I ask the reason?”

I picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip.

“To prevent family assets from being transferred inappropriately.”

Manager Khuong understood and did not ask further. She took the file out. The VIP room immediately became quiet. The electronic clock on the wall displayed: 11:47 am. Tham Nghien Chu's plane has not taken off yet. I opened my phone. Three missed calls appeared in the blocked list. It's all his. I didn't bother to open it. At that moment, Ha Vy sent a text message.

“I found out the identity of that vixen.”

“The name is Duong Man.”

“Two years ago, I joined Tham Nghien Chu's company.”

“Since last year, I have often gone on business trips with him.”

I replied:

“Continue to investigate.”

Ha Vy sent back a thumbs up symbol.

“Are you really not going to the airport to catch cheats?”

I looked at the screen for a few seconds.

“Just let him fly.”

“The farther you fly, the easier it is to handle.”

Tham Nghien Chu thinks that distance can bind me. He thinks four years is enough to wear down a woman. Let me become someone who holds an empty house every day, pays the mortgage, and obediently waits for my husband to return. He thought he could take Duong Man to Germany. And I will stay in the country to take care of his mother for him. Raise your sister. And continue to keep his wallet. His calculations were perfect. Just a pity... He forgot one thing. The money in that co-owned card... Didn't just fall from the sky. A while later, manager Khuong returned. She had another stack of papers in her hand.

“Ms. Trinh, the risk control department has approved.”

“Please sign here.”

I picked up the pen. Right at the moment the pen nib touches the paper. The phone vibrates again. This time it wasn't a blocked call. Ma Ngoc Cam. I pressed listen. Her voice was almost screaming right into my ear.

"Tri Ha! Where are you?"

“I'm outside.”

“Come back to me immediately!”

“Just now, Nghien Chu texted and said His card can't be swiped anymore!”

I looked at the signature box in front of me. Calmly sign your name. Ma Ngoc Cam almost went crazy.

“What is that ‘is that so’?!”

“He was buying things at the airport and the payment failed!”

“Did you touch the card?”

I signed the second page. The other end of the line was silent for exactly one second. Immediately followed by even more deafening screams.

“Are you crazy?!”

“That's money that saved Nghien Chu's life abroad!”

“Who let you touch it?”

I signed the third page.

“Because most of that money is mine.”

“What's the difference between yours and his?”

“Money between husband and wife is joint money!”

“Nghien Chu went abroad because of this family!”

“Don't cause trouble at this time!”

Manager Khuong stood next to him, his eyes lightly glanced over the table and then quickly moved away. She is very professional. From beginning to end, don't interrupt half a sentence. My voice is still calm.

“Did he go to Germany alone?”

The other end of the line immediately became choked.

“What do you mean?”

I curled my lips.

“Go ask him yourself.”

Ma Ngoc Cam immediately raised his voice.

“Don't talk strangely!”

“Isn't it good for men to go out and have someone to take care of them?”

The pen in my hand suddenly stopped. She knows. I signed the last page. Raised his head to look at manager Khuong. She nodded slightly and collected all the files. On the phone, Ma Ngoc Cam was still cursing non-stop.

“I tell you!”

“Restore that card immediately!”

“Then immediately transfer five hundred thousand yuan to Nghien Chu!”

“He still has to rent a house!”

“We still have to build relationships!”

“You are a woman, what is the use of holding so much money?”

I laughed. First time since the call started.

“That's right.”

“I am a woman.”

“But I earned that money.”

“And your son…”

I saw the words 'Account closed successfully' appear on the confirmation screen. The corners of the lips slowly curled up.

“Want to use my money to support my lover in Germany.”

“Do you think I should agree?”

I looked at the busy stream of people outside the glass window.

“Mrs. Ma Ngoc Cam.”

The other end of the line immediately went silent.

“What...what did you just call me?”

This was the first time I called her by her name. Before, I called her mother. Called for eight years. But now... She's not worthy anymore. I calmly said:

“From today onwards, if he wants to spend money, he will earn it himself.”

“If you want to spend money... don't look for me anymore.”

On the other side, the sound of a tea cup breaking was heard.

“Counterfeit!”

“You are really being dishonest!”

I didn't reply. Hang up directly. Conveniently drag her number to the block list. At that moment, manager Khuong returned.

“Ms. Trinh, the request to close the account has been sent to the system.”

“Now only the final step remains.”

"Please enter your password to confirm and you're done."

She pushed the tablet towards me. The screen displayed clearly: Receiving account: Trinh Tri Ha Transfer amount: 2,906,432.17 yuan My finger stopped on the confirmation button. Right at that moment. The phone vibrates. It's a strange number. The first message appears.

"Wife, what's wrong with the card?"

I don't answer. Immediately, a second message was sent.

"Can you stop causing trouble? I'm about to board the plane."

The third message followed closely behind.

"Do you know what happened?"

I stared at the last few words. Then Calmly press down on the confirmation button. Account closed successfully. Right at that moment. Messages kept pouring in like rain.

"Tri Ha, listen to my explanation first!"

"Me and her are not what you think!"

"Please, return the money first!"

I placed the phone screen face down on the table. Manager Khuong gave me the receipt.

“Ms. Trinh, the procedure is complete.”

I took the receipt and put it in my bag. Right at that moment. Suddenly there was an argument outside. A young woman's voice was filled with impatience.

“I want to meet Trinh Tri Ha!”

“I'm an employee of her husband's company!”

“She can't take that money away!”

I raised my head. Through the glass door. Duong Man took off his sunglasses. Being stopped by security in front of the VIP area.
