Chapter 1 — My Husband Had an Affair with His Secretary, I Recovered the Hundred Billion Empire I Created

My Husband Blatantly Kissed His Secretary, I Caused His Hundred Billion Corporation to Collapse Overnight The seventh year after the wedding, it was my birthday. I witnessed with my own eyes my husband, Luc Tham, passionately kissing his secretary, Lam Van Van, in the private seating area of a bar. On the phone, his voice was full of mockery and impatience:

"Diep Khinh Khinh, it's just a joke between friends, who are you showing your face to?"

"If you don't apologize, don't expect me to go home."

On the other end of the line, the laughter and shouting of his playboy friends rang out. They even loudly bet on how I would cry and kneel down to beg him tonight. They didn't know that... The 10,000,000,000 yuan corporation that Luc Tham was always proud of, from every core policy decision to every line of foundational source code, was all created by me. I hung up, blocking all his contact methods. Three minutes later, I posted a status line:

"Love yourself forever, and allow anyone the freedom to leave."

The lights in the bar were dim. The bass was heavy and heavy like a punch hitting straight into the chest. The smell of alcohol mixed with cheap perfume lingered in the air, so stuffy that it made people nauseous. I stood in the dark, less than five meters from the private seating area. Before my eyes, Luc Tham was holding his personal secretary Lam Van Van tightly in his arms. Lam Van Van raised her head and wrapped her arms around his neck. The two kissed passionately, so attached that it was difficult to separate. Around him, the group of "good brothers" that Luc Tham was always proud of were continuously shouting and cheering. Whistles and laughter rang out non-stop.

"The sixth brother is really great!"

"If my sister-in-law knew about this, she would be angry to death."

"Are you so angry? Have you forgotten what kind of person Diep Khinh Khinh is? As long as Luc brother raises a finger, she immediately kneels down and crawls back."

My stomach churned in waves. Not because of heartache. Which is simply disgusting to the point of nausea. Today is my birthday. It's also our seventh wedding anniversary. This afternoon, Luc Tham also texted to say the company had an urgent meeting and had to work overtime until late, telling me to go to sleep first and not wait for him. Yet right now, he is holding another woman in his arms, celebrating his so-called "freedom". I didn't step forward and overturn the wine table. Nor did she scream and cry like an out of control woman. I just watched quietly. It's like watching a ridiculous comedy that has nothing to do with you. The phone in my pocket vibrated. It was Luc Tham calling. One of his "good brothers" must have seen me standing in the dark and deliberately ran to tell me the news. I turned around and walked out of the bar. The heavy door closed behind them, completely blocking out the deafening music inside. I pressed listen.

"Diep Khinh Khinh, are you following me?"

Luc Tham's voice was tinged with alcohol, carrying a questioning and annoyed tone full of superiority. I said nothing. Only quietly heard Lam Van Van's cooing voice on the other end of the line:

"Brother Luc, don't be angry anymore. Maybe Ms. Khinh Khinh misunderstood..."

"Misunderstanding what?"

Luc Tham snorted coldly. When he spoke to me, his voice became even colder.

"Friends just joke around a little, touch a little so what to do? Who are you showing your face to?"

"In front of so many of my brothers, you left like that. Do you understand the rules?"

I almost burst out laughing. A little touch? The two people's tongues are about to penetrate into each other's stomach, so what's called a little touch?

"I apologize immediately."

"Otherwise, for the rest of your life, you don't expect me to step foot in that house again."

He issued an ultimatum. I will definitely bow my head. Just like every time for the past seven years. As long as he frowns, I will be heartbroken. As long as he gets angry, I will reflect on what I did wrong. He is used to my patience. Get used to my condescension. Just like those other friends. Everyone believes that if I leave Luc Tham, I cannot live.

"Luc Tham."

I finally spoke up. His voice was as calm as a dead lake.

"Let's get a divorce."

The other end of the line suddenly went silent. Even the loud laughter disappeared. A few seconds later. Luc Tham's unbelievable angry roar rang out:

“Damn! What did you just say?

"Diep Khinh Khinh, you're good, aren't you?!"

"I said..."

I slowly repeat each word.

"We are divorced."

"Tomorrow morning, nine o'clock, meet in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau gate."

"I won't take a penny from your property."

"As for my things, don't you dare touch them."

I didn't give him a chance to finish his sentence. Hang up directly. The world is finally quiet. I open WeChat. From WeChat, phone numbers to QQ. All of Luc Tham's contact methods were blacklisted by me. Then I opened my circle of friends. Post a photo of the night scene in front of the bar just taken a few minutes ago. Accompanied by a status line:

"Love yourself forever, and allow anyone the freedom to leave."

Having finished everything, I raised my hand to call a taxi. Read the driver an address. Not the house I and Luc Tham share. Which is a villa in the south of the city. That's my home. The car rolled in the middle of the night. The neon light strips outside the window continuously receded. My phone started receiving text messages like crazy. Luc Tham's friends took turns sending mockery.

"Is your sister-in-law playing the soft and tight game? That's enough. Luc brother is really angry."

"Diep Khinh Khinh, don't be an elephant asking for a fairy. Luc brother keeping an eye on you is already a blessing left by your ancestors."

Immediately after that was a voice message from my mother-in-law, whom I always called mother. As soon as I opened it, I heard a loud scolding:

"Diep Khinh Khinh, that hen doesn't know how to lay eggs!"

"You dare to ask for a divorce from my son?"

"I tell you, our Luc family doesn't have divorced men, only abandoned women!"

"Go away and apologize to my son right away!"
