Chapter 10 — My Husband Fake His Death To Hurt Me, It Ended Up...

The women's faces immediately stiffened. They didn't expect me to speak so bluntly. I didn't look at them anymore, but turned to Luc Thien Minh.

“Dad, I want to announce something.”

He nodded.

“You say it.”

I looked straight down at the auditorium.

“From today, Luc Thi will conduct a comprehensive acquisition of Co Thi.”

“From now on, Co Thi will become a subsidiary of Luc Thi.”

The screams rose up again.

“Purchasing?” Co Chan could barely stand, his lips trembled, "Miss Luc... you want to buy Co?"

"That's right."

I replied lightly, as if I was saying something obvious.

“President Co, surely you don't have any comments?”

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word. What else can you say? Compared to the Luc family, the Co family is like a weak chess piece. Purchasing the Co family... for the Luc family, is really not difficult.

“There's one more thing.”

I continue.

“I will pursue all legal responsibilities of Co Mac Han to the end.”

"He took advantage of my family's assets, faked his death to transfer money, and even plotted to take my life."

“Each of those debts…”

“He must pay.”

I stopped, then coldly said another sentence.

“And Snow White…”

“As his accomplice, she will also be punished by the law.”

In the crowd, I don't know who started clapping first. After that, rounds of applause rang out one after another.

“Miss Luc did the right thing!” Someone spoke loudly.

“That's right, Co Mac Han and Snow White deserve to be punished!”

“People like them are really too much!”

I looked at those faces and just felt ridiculous. These people are so interesting. Whichever way the wind goes... that way faster than anyone. I smiled softly.

“Everyone, today I announce my identity…”

“Not to brag.”

“But to make you understand one thing clearly.”

“I have never been the weak type of woman you think.”

“Three years ago, I left the Luc family…”

“It's because I want to live a normal life.”

“But Co Mac Han…”

“destroyed that life with my own hands.”

“So now…”

“It's his turn to pay the price.”

Having finished speaking, I turned around and walked down the stage. The crowd automatically moved aside. Every look that looked at me was no longer contemptuous or judgmental anymore. It's awe. I walked to the door, stopped. Then turned his head to look at the entire hall.

“From today onwards…”

“I'm Luc Van.”

“Heavenly Golden Luc Thi.”

“Chairman Co Thi.”

“And Co Mac Han and Snow White…”

“will be a thing of the past.”

A week later, the case of Co Mac Han and Snow White was officially brought to trial. I personally appeared in court as the plaintiff. In the courtroom, Co Mac Han and Bach Tuyet sat in the defendant's chair. Both of their faces were extremely bad.

“Defendant Co Mac Han.”

The judge spoke sternly.

“He was prosecuted for fraud, embezzlement of public funds, attempted murder and many other violations of the law.”

“Do you plead guilty?”

Co Mac Han raised his head and looked at me. A very complex emotion flashed through those eyes. Regret, unwillingness, or fear... I don't bother to guess. A long time later, he spoke.

“I… plead guilty.”

The whole courtroom was in an uproar.

“Defendant Snow White.”

The judge continued.

“She was indicted on charges of fraud, embezzlement of public funds, attempted attempted murder and complicity in many other acts.”

"Miss Do you admit guilt?”

Snow White's face was pale, her lips trembled so much that she could barely speak.

“I… I plead guilty…”

The judge nodded.

“Okay. Invite the plaintiff to present.”

I stood up and walked into the middle of the courtroom.

“Dear jury.”

My voice was calm, clear, not high-pitched but enough to silence the whole room.

"I'm standing here today to let everyone see clearly all the sins of Co Mac Han and Snow White."

"Three years ago, he engineered my family's bankruptcy and forced me to marry him."

“Three years later, he faked his death to escape, transferred his assets abroad, and at the same time planned to have me 'unexpectedly' die in desperation.”

I turned my head to look at Snow White, the corners of my lips curled up slightly.

“And her…”

“Put on the mask of ‘best friend’, but in every step of that plot…”

“is the most loyal accomplice.”

I took out a file and placed it on the table.

“Here is all the evidence.”

"Co Mac Han's fake death plan, asset transfer documents, evidence of unsuccessful murder..."

“Everything is clear, complete, undeniable.”

The judge took the document, looked it over, and nodded.

“Plaintiff, continue.”

I raised my head.

“Dear jury…”

“I would like to call the first witness.”

The judge nodded, his stern voice resounding in the courtroom.

“Bring in witnesses.”

The door opened. Tran Vi walked in. He stood on the witness stand, clearly so nervous that his throat was dry, and he had to swallow several times to keep his voice steady.

“Witness, tell me what you know.”

Tran Vi took a deep breath.

“Three years ago… Co Mac Han came to me.”

“He asked me… to get my hands on Ms. Lam's… no, Ms. Luc's surgery.”

“He gave me five hundred thousand… so I could create a ‘medical accident’… causing her to die on the operating table.”

His voice trembled.

“But I… I can't do it.”

“Miss Luc… is alive… is still alive.”

“After that, Co Mac Han threatened me, forcing me to keep this matter a secret.”

"I didn't dare to say it... until Ms. Luc came to me... I decided to stand up."

The whole courtroom immediately erupted. Everyone's eyes turned to the defendant. Co Mac Han's face turned pale. He didn't expect... Tran Vi to betray him.

“Defendant Co Mac Han.”

The judge spoke up.

“Do you have anything to say?”

He was silent for a long time. Finally he spoke, hoarse.

“I… have nothing more to say.”
