Chapter 4 — My Husband Fake His Death To Hurt Me, It Ended Up...

Each line of text appeared... like a knife cutting straight into my heart.

"Goal: through pretending to be dead, get rid of Lam Van's burden, and at the same time transfer assets, and start over with Snow White."

“Step one: create an accident scene, use a body as a distraction.”

"Step two: take advantage of public opinion to attack Lam Van, making her a target of criticism and losing social support."

"Step three: through Snow White's identity, gradually recover the assets in Lam Van's hands."

“Step four: make Lam Van 'accidentally die' in despair, completely eliminating the disaster."

I put down the documents. Close your eyes. Try to keep yourself calm. From the beginning, he never intended to let me go. Three years ago, he targeted my money. Three years later, I will make him pay back... both capital and interest. And the last step in his plan... Is to want me dead.

“Good… really good…”

I smiled softly, my voice trembling slightly.

“Co Mac Han, your plan… is perfect.”

I opened my eyes again. There was no peace left in it. Only cold remains.

“If you want me dead…”

“Then let me see… who dies first in the end.”

I took my phone and took all the documents and pictures. Send it to a lawyer.

“Lawyer Truong, prepare a set of lawsuit documents for me.”

I left the basement and went back to the living room. Outside the window, the sky was starting to get light. I stood in front of the glass door, watching the dawn gradually appear.

“Co Mac Han, do you think you can escape everything by pretending to die?”

“No… this is just the beginning.”

“Three years ago, you took advantage of me and took my family's assets.”

“Three years later, you faked your death, wanting to get rid of me… and wanting me to disappear.”

“But you forgot one thing.”

I turned around and looked at the photo hanging on the wall. The corners of his lips curled into a cold smile.

“I… am no longer the weak woman I was three years ago.”

“I will make you pay.”

The phone suddenly vibrated. Snow White's message.

"Van Van, how are Mac Han's inheritance procedures going? Do you need my help?"

I looked at the screen.

“Snow White… you're really in a hurry.”

I texted back:

"No need, the procedure is over. Oh right, I was cleaning Mac Han's things and discovered some interesting things. Do you want to see?"

The other party responded very quickly:

“Documents… related to you.” I type.

This time, the other person was silent for a long time. Then replied:

"Van Van, what are you talking about? I don't understand..."

“Don't understand?” I smiled softly.

"It's okay. You'll understand."

“Very soon… everyone will understand.”

I put down the phone. Look out the window again. The male lead faked his death... why? The answer... Has gradually emerged. What's waiting for him ahead... Is the revenge I've been preparing for three years. The next morning, I arranged to meet lawyer Truong Minh at a coffee shop. He is the Co family's long-time legal advisor, and is also the person Co Mac Han trusts the most. But I understand, in this world... no one is without weaknesses.

“Miss Lam.” Truong Minh pushed up his glasses, his voice cautious, "What are you looking for me for?"

I put down my cup of coffee, took out a file from my bag, and pushed it towards him.

“Lawyer Truong, I want to ask you to help me investigate some things.”

He took it, glanced at it, and his face immediately changed.

“This… this is Mac Han's private document… where did you get it from?”

"That you don't need to know.” I said softly, “I just want to ask you a question.”

He swallowed hard, his voice a little tense. “You… just ask.”

"You have followed Co Mac Han for so many years, you must understand very well how he works." I looked straight into his eyes, "I want to know, three years ago... my company went bankrupt, is it really just a coincidence?"

Truong Minh's face became even more unsightly, his eyes instinctively avoided.

“Miss Lam… this… I…”

“Lawyer Truong.” I interrupted, my voice a bit colder, "I know you are Co Mac Han's man. But I also know that he is not a bad person. About that year... he definitely knows something. I just need the truth.”

He was silent for a long time. Finally said.

“Miss Lam... I can only say, what happened that year... was definitely a problem. But I don't know the specifics. Mac Han never let me interfere."

I looked at him.

“So will you help me look it up?”

He hesitated a bit, then nodded.

“Okay. But I have one condition.”

“You say it.”

“This matter… must not be known to the Co family.” He lowered his voice, "If they find out... I'm done."

I smiled softly.

“Don't worry, I will protect you.”

Leaving the cafe, I went straight to the bank. Most of Co Mac Han's assets are cash, stocks and real estate. But I know… That's not all. His real assets... lie in a place only he knows. Will find that place.

“Miss Lam.” The bank manager hurriedly continued, his attitude extremely respectful, "What assistance do you need?"

“I want to check all of Co Mac Han's accounts, including personal accounts and company accounts.”

His expression immediately changed.

“This… takes time…”

“I know.” I took out a document and placed it in front of him, "This is the court's investigation order. I hope you will cooperate.”

He took it, looked at it, his face became even more serious.

“Miss Lam, please wait a moment, I will have someone extract the data immediately.”

Half an hour later, I held a detailed statement in my hand. His eyes stopped on the numbers. I laughed.

“Co Mac Han… you hid it so deeply.”

According to the cash flow, a month before his "death", he transferred a large amount of assets abroad. The account receiving money is in the name of a stranger. But just a little research... I knew that was his fake identity.

“Fake death… transfer assets…”

I muttered softly.

“Co Mac Han, your plan… is perfect.”

“But you forgot one thing.”

I took the phone and made a call.

“Hello, I need to hire a private investigator… yes, to follow someone… Snow White.”

In the evening, I returned to the villa. Start organizing all the evidence you have collected. Co Mac Han's plan to fake his death. Cash flow transferred abroad. Snow White's unusual behavior. Every single thing... is a weapon. I took the pen and wrote each line on paper.

“Step one: expose the truth of Co Mac Han's fake death.”

“Step two: recover all transferred assets.”

“Step three: make Co Mac Han and Snow White…pay.”

I put down my pen and looked out the window. The night is very deep. But inside my heart... it's bright.

“Three years ago, you destroyed everything for me.”

“Three years later, I will make you pay back… double.”

“Co Mac Han, Snow White… are you two ready?”

“My revenge… has only just begun.”

The phone vibrates. Message from Truong Minh.
