Chapter 11 — Never Look Down on Women

My voice... was calm like nothing had ever happened. The car rolled again. Leaving behind... the small shadow of an orange shirt. I don't turn around. At that moment, I suddenly understood. True revenge... is not about making the other person suffer. It's not to make them hate you. Make them... completely disappear from my world. Becoming… no longer important. Even... not qualified to exist in memory. To me. He… is dead. Along with that stupid marriage. Buried forever. I leaned back in the chair and closed my eyes. The sunlight through the glass window... warmly fell on my face. The phone rang. It's Khuong Ninh.

"Nguyet Nguyet, are you ready for tonight's celebration party? We won big this year!"

I opened my eyes. Look at the stream of cars outside drifting backwards. The corners of the lips... slightly curled.

"Of course."

19 Uninvited guests Tham Thi's celebration party... covers the entire top floor of the most luxurious hotel in the city. Crystal chandeliers are as brilliant as the Milky Way. The scent of perfume, laughter... interwoven like a symphony. Everyone's face lit up because of survival... and future aspirations. The central figure of the party. Surrounded by countless congratulations.

“President Tham, please pay your respects. Under your guidance, Tham Thi will definitely be even more glorious!”

"Young and talented Chairman Tham is truly a role model for the business world!"

I hold a glass of champagne. Respond to each person. Every sentence… is just enough. Maintain dignity. There is also no lack of politeness. Khuong Ninh stood next to me, winking at me.

“How is it, my queen, are you used to the feeling of being praised by the whole world?”

I smiled softly. Lean closer to her… whisper.

“It's okay, just a bit noisy.”

We looked at each other and smiled, understanding everything without needing to say anything. Just as the atmosphere at the party rose to a climax, the large, intricately carved door of the banquet hall... was suddenly pushed forcefully from the outside. Two tall bodyguards dressed in black stood apart on both sides. Just then, a man... slowly walked in. He wore a perfectly tailored dark gray handmade suit, no tie, two shirt buttons half open, revealing honey-colored skin and sharp collarbones, carrying a dangerously wild aura. His appearance... was like a block of ice thrown straight into a pan of boiling oil. The entire banquet hall... was silent in the blink of an eye. All eyes... were on him. And curiosity that cannot be hidden. I squinted my eyes. The real crown prince of the tycoon world, the person in charge of the Luc Thi group. A person famous for being cruel, acting erratically... like a madman. Why did he appear here? I don't remember sending invitations. Khuong Ninh stood next to me, her face also changed. She leaned close to my ear, her voice very low.

"Nguyet Nguyet... it's Luc Kieu... why did he come? We're not in a relationship with him."

My voice turned cold.

“We do.”

"Last week, in the bidding package for the Nam Thanh project... I just took a big piece of his mouth from him."

Khuong Ninh took a cold breath. Luc Kieu completely ignored everyone's gaze. His eyes as deep as a cold abyss... pierced through the crowd, falling precisely on me. The corners of his lips curled into a predatory smile. He strode, straight towards me. Where he passed… the crowd automatically separated. As if... the king was walking in the middle of his domain. Last Finally, he stopped in front of me. With a height of nearly nine feet, the pressure from him... almost pressed down on the entire space. He conveniently took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray. Raise towards me.

“President Tham, I have admired you for a long time.”

His voice is low, hoarse, like the sound of a low cello, gliding through people's hearts.

“President Luc, a rare guest.”

I smiled politely and kept my distance.

“I came uninvited, Chairman Tham… do you mind?”

“Sorry.”

I replied directly.

“My party… has never welcomed uninvited guests.”

After hearing this... he wasn't angry, on the contrary he laughed. A low laugh, echoing softly in my chest. He looked at me, his eyes carrying an undisguised invasion.

“Chairman Tham's tricks… I really enjoy them.”

He bowed slightly, the distance between us was closed.

"Trampling a few ants to death... is not called bravery."

He is talking about the Co family. In his eyes… they were just ants. My smile turned cold.

“So in Chairman Luc's eyes… what is bravery?”

“For example…”

He gently shook the glass of wine, his deep dark eyes locked on me.

“Conquering a lioness with thorns.”

That naked look... made me feel disgusted.

“President Luc… maybe you drank too much.”

I raised my glass, intending to end the meaningless conversation. But he... suddenly said something that made the entire banquet hall speechless.

“Tham Thi... merged with Luc Thi.”

His eyes deepened, his voice lowered.

“Chairman Tham… married into the Luc family.”

“You choose one.”

20 Declaration of war Luc Kieu's words... were like a torpedo exploding in the middle of the water. Everyone… was stunned. Merged into Luc Thi. Or... marry into the Luc family. This is no longer arrogance. It's a blatant insult. Khuong Ninh stood next to me... her face was pale, she almost couldn't help but explode. I raised my hand... to stop her. Laugh until your shoulders shake. Like I just heard the funniest thing in the world.

“Chairman Luc…”

I had to try very hard to suppress my laughter, looking at his handsome yet obnoxious face.

“Are you talking about a dream?”

“Or is it that the Luc Thi Group is so poor that it has to rely on medieval marriage to expand its territory?”
