Chapter 15 — Husband Went On Business Trip, Mother-in-law Locked Me Up To Steal The Dowry House

Just pitiful. This is his mother. A selfish woman. Stupid to the point of being irreparable. He let go. Staggered back two steps.

"It's come to this."

"Do you still think it's all someone else's fault?"

His voice was full of fatigue.

"If it weren't for mom peeking into that house."

"If mother hadn't pushed Tu Nhiem into a corner."

"Did she go to this extent?"

"Is our house going to end up like this?"

"It was you who ruined me!"

First time in my life. He pointed directly at his mother and said those words. Luu Ngoc Mai rolled her eyes. Unbelievable.

"Are you blaming mom?"

"Who do you do everything for?"

"Isn't it because of this house?"

"Isn't it because of your little brother?"

"If something happens now, will you blame it all on mom?"

"Chu Minh Khai!"

"Do you still have a conscience?"

Mother and daughter stood in the middle of the living room. A place once filled with laughter. Now they're screaming at each other. Blame each other. Blame each other. Like two animals locked in a cage. Crazy biting the opponent. Meanwhile. The person they were arguing with. Sitting leisurely in lawyer Tan's office again. I hold a cup of coffee. Quietly looking at the sunlight outside the window. Lawyer Qin's assistant is reporting the latest situation.

"Chu Minh Khai was fired from the company."

"Lin Na was also fired."

"Chu Minh Khai's lawyer unilaterally terminated the representation contract."

"On the internet, evidence of his adultery is spreading very quickly."

"Accounts that have attacked you before."

"Now everyone is turning to criticize Chu Minh Khai."

"Here are the latest search rankings."

The assistant handed me the tablet. On the first position of the hot news board. There was a prominent line: #ChuMinhKhaiThe Traitor Of The Year# I looked at that title. His face remained calm. Not excited. Not gloating either. Because of all this. All within previous predictions. Lawyer Tan took a sip of coffee. The corners of the lips curled slightly.

"Next is only the final step."

"The court's decision will be issued soon."

"And you..."

"We're about to be free."

I nodded slightly. His eyes looked towards the blue sky outside the glass window. First time in three years. I feel like my future is so bright. There is no more Chu family. There are no more words of patience. No more days of having to live for others. My life. Finally about to start all over again. I looked out the window. The sky is very blue. The clouds are very white. A whole new world is slowly opening its doors before my eyes. 12. ALL THINGS CLOSE The day of the official trial has finally arrived. Inside the courtroom. The atmosphere was strangely quiet. Chu Minh Khai sat in the defendant's seat. Like a statue that has lost its soul. He did not hire a new lawyer. Because all excuses now become meaningless. All the evidence is so clear. He is like a mouse running across the street. Everyone wants to stay away. Liu Ngoc Mai and Chu Minh Hao were also present. But blocked outside. Luu Ngoc Mai wanted to rush into chaos. Immediately received a stern warning from judicial officers. She could only stand outside the door. Staring at the courtroom with eyes full of resentment. Like a ghost that refuses to escape. The judge began reading the verdict. Clear voice. Solemn. Echoed throughout the room.

"Rank most."

"Approving the divorce request of plaintiff Tu Nhiem against defendant Chu Minh Khai."

Listen here. I gently let out a long breath. The shackles weighed heavily for three years. Finally completely broken.

"The apartment owned by plaintiff Tu Nhiem in residential area XX is personal property that existed before the marriage."

"Continues to be in the possession of the plaintiff."

That's a completely reasonable result. Chu Minh Khai bowed his head. Shoulders trembled slightly.

"For joint savings after marriage, it is 300,000 yuan."

"It is considered that defendant Chu Minh Khai committed a serious violation of marital obligations."

"Specifically, extramarital sex."

"Causing serious mental damage to the plaintiff."

"The court decided to divide assets as follows."

"Plaintiff Tu Nhiem received 70%, equivalent to 210,000 yuan."

"Defendant Chu Minh Khai received 30%, equivalent to 90,000 yuan."

"In addition."

"Defendant Chu Minh Khai must compensate the plaintiff for mental damage in the amount of 50,000 yuan."

The whole courtroom was slightly stirred. Chu Minh Khai suddenly raised his head. Bloodshot eyes. Not only did he lose most of his savings. You also have to pay an additional 50,000 yuan in compensation. The money he worked hard to accumulate over the years. After all. Only 40,000 yuan left. For someone like him who just lost his job. That was no different from a fatal blow. Not only can I keep the apartment. But also receive 210,000 yuan in savings. Along with 50,000 yuan in compensation. I became the only winner in this war. After the verdict is over. The judge tapped his gavel.

"The trial is over."

Everything. Finally closed.
