Chapter 4 — Never Look Down on Women

08 Bite and tear in a dead end After the failed negotiation with Co Vien Son, the Co family's counterattack came faster than I thought... and also more stupid than I thought. Perhaps they were cornered. Started regardless of everything, pouring mud on me. The next day, a new series of articles appeared online. This time, they no longer tried to whitewash Wen Ya. But turned the tip... pointed straight at me.

"Shocking coup! General Director Co Thi's ex-wife - Tham Nguyet - is suspected of usurping her position, draining hundreds of millions of company assets!"

"The true face of the poisonous snake beauty: after the divorce, is there a business war plot?"

In the article, Co Thanh appears as a victim. While crying, I denounced, saying that during my marriage, I took advantage of my financial management rights and secretly transferred a large amount of company assets. He painted me as a greedy, scheming, commercial spy. Saying that I took revenge on him... just because after the divorce there was no way to extort money from the company, so love turned to hate, intentionally defaming him. The article is surprisingly detailed, even including a few photos of "internal records" called evidence. As soon as Khuong Ninh saw the news, he immediately called and was so angry that he cursed.

“Are those dogs crazy?!”

"How dare they lie so blatantly! This is illegal!"

"If it weren't for your family's money, Co Thanh wouldn't even be able to open a company! Now he's turning around and saying you're embezzler?"

“Nguyet Nguyet, we must send a lawyer to sue immediately!”

I was strangely calm again.

“Don't rush, just let them make trouble.”

I'm jogging on the treadmill, breathing steadily.

“The crazier he is, the more it proves that he's at the end of his rope.”

“This kind of lie is full of holes, even children don't believe it... how can they fool shareholders and supervisory agencies?”

“He… is digging his own grave.”

Co Thanh forgot one thing. Financial control of the company...from start to finish is in my hands. Every revenue and expenditure is clear in numbers. The "evidence" he released... were just a few lines of innocuous transactions, intentionally distorted. As long as I want, I can take out the original documents at any time... leaving him ruined. But now… I don't want to end the game so soon. I want to watch him... falling into the abyss step by step.

“Are you just going to let them defame you like that?” Khuong Ninh is still not satisfied.

“Of course not.”

I smiled softly.

“Just let the bullets fly a little longer.”

“Wait until he gathers everyone's attention… we'll give him the final gift.”

"I want everyone to see clearly... what exactly is the woman that Co Thanh risked his life to protect."

“I also want to show everyone… how stupid the Co family is.”

Not long after hanging up. An anonymous informant sent me an interesting recording. It was On Nha's call to him. In the recording, On Nha's voice is no longer weak and pitiful. Which is sharp, crazy and poisonous.

"It's you! You sold those things to Tham Nguyet, right?!"

"Traitor! You will not die properly!"

"How much money do you want?! Say it! As long as you come forward and say that Tham Nguyet bribed you to falsify evidence, I'll pay you double!"

“No, times ten!”

"As long as you help me, wait for me to marry into the Co family, I guarantee you won't be able to spend all your money for the rest of your life!"

The informant just laughed coldly.

“On Nha, Do you think the Co family still has money for you now?

“You should take care of yourself first.”

“It is said that her husband in Las Vegas, David Green, because of failed investments... went bankrupt and committed suicide.”

“His family… is looking for you everywhere.”

“They said, it was you who defrauded him of all his money... that led to that outcome.”

On Nha's voice was immediately filled with panic.

“You… you talk nonsense!”

The informant smiled slightly, then hung up. After listening to the recording, my eyes completely turned cold. It turns out... someone died. Her crime... was much worse than I thought. If that's the case, I can't let her escape easily. I replied to the informant.

“Collection of all documents related to David Green.”

“Including his family's contact information.”

“This time… I will send her to court.”

09 The Final Judgment The Final Judgment… descended in an extremely public and brutal way. I will no longer spread news online. Which divides all the evidence that Wen Nha defrauded David Green leading to his death... into two parts. In part, sent anonymously to the domestic economic investigation agency. The rest, through international lawyers... is directly transferred to the police where David Green's family lives. Transnational fraud, suspicion of murder. This... is no longer a matter of gossip. It's a felony... affecting the laws of two countries. When uniformed police appeared in front of the Co family's villa, right in front of the entire media's cameras, taking the title of "an important suspect in the case of transnational financial fraud"... handcuffed Wen Nha. The whole world... seemed silent. The face that she was always proud of, that "harmless innocence" look... for the first time revealed true fear, from the bottom of her heart. She was pale, trembling, her mouth stuttering non-stop.

“It wasn't me… it wasn't me…”

Co Thanh rushed forward to stop him. But was coldly pushed away by the police.

“We are on duty! Please cooperate!”

He could only stare blankly at the bright moonlight that he risked his life to protect... being escorted like a stray dog and stuffed into a police car. And Co Vien Son. The man wanted to use money to settle with me. Right now… standing on the second floor balcony. Overnight… he seemed to have aged twenty years. Black hair mixed with white. He looked down at the humiliating scene below, his eyes empty, his body shaking. The sky of the Co family... has fallen. All was broadcast live through the media's lens, spreading across the country. All the dirty things they used to pour on me... instantly became a joke. A family, in order to protect a fraudster or a person suspected of being involved in a murder... does not hesitate to slander his ex-wife. A wealthy family... stupid enough to be turned around by a professional con artist. Co Thi Group's shares... plummeted steeply. Less than ten minutes after opening the door, it hit the floor. Investors cried. The partner kept calling, asking to terminate the contract. The bank sent a risk assessment team and announced a review of the entire credit limit. The building is collapsing. Just in the blink of an eye. As for me... sitting in an apartment in a foreign country, calmly watching the big drama being broadcast on the news. Khuong Ninh's phone called, his voice could not hide his gloating.

“Nguyet Nguyet! Uncle see! It's too much! What a delight!”

“On Nha finally met his retribution!”

“The Co family is finished! I heard that shareholders are selling off their shares. Co Thanh is in chaos right now, like he's gone crazy!

I quietly said "yes". The outcome... was within expectations.

“Oh right,” Khuong Ninh hesitated for a moment, “Did Co Thanh... call you?”

"Not yet." I replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone screen lit up. A familiar series of numbers... even though I've been added to the block list for a long time. It's Co Thanh. I was silent for a second, then picked up the phone. On the other end of the line... there was no more screaming, no more anger. Just a dead silence. A long time later. There was a voice so hoarse it was almost soundless. he asked.

“Tham Nguyet… why do you have to go to this extent?”

I walked to the window and looked at the rising sun. Golden sunlight fell on the city, warm and brilliant.

“Co Thanh, you are wrong.”

My voice is as calm as a lake without any ripples.

“I'm not taking revenge.”

“I'm just taking back… what belongs to me.”

“Your company, built on the blood of the Tham family… now it should collapse.”

"Your reputation, based on the prestige of the Tham family... should now be returned."

“As for Wen Ya… that is her retribution, it has nothing to do with me.”

“I simply… put a piece of paper that was stained with stains… under the light.”

“Miss…” Co Thanh seemed to want to say something.

But I interrupted.

“Don't call me again in the future.”

“We… have already paid.”

Having finished speaking, I hung up the phone. Then delete that number. Along with that rotten past... completely disappeared. The sunlight shines on my face.
