Chapter 13 — On the Day of Divorce, I Withdrawed My Entire Capital of Hundreds of Billion Dollars
Her voice is not loud. But just enough for those around to hear. Everyone's expressions immediately became meaningful. No one responded. Anyway, everyone knows now. The Co family just kicked Lam Van out the door. Turn around. He has become the heir to the Lam family. No matter how you look at this, it's like the Co family has no eyes. Right at that moment. The party entered the charity auction. The host walked onto the stage. Smiling and declaring:
“Next is the typical work 《Dawn》 by famous artist Tran Mac.”
“Starting price is three million.”
The auction officially begins.
“Five million.”
“Eight million.”
“Ten million.”
Prices are continuously pushed up. Lam Van held up the number plate.
“Twenty million.”
The whole hall was quiet. The host was so agitated that his voice raised his voice.
“Twenty million times one!”
“Twenty million times two!”
“Twenty million—”
The words haven't ended yet. Suddenly a cry of alarm rang out in the hall.
“Where is the picture?”
Everyone turned their heads to look at once. Only saw the painting display area. It was empty. The scene was immediately chaotic. Staff rushed to check. The host's face turned white.
“What happened?”
A few minutes later. The security captain rushed over. His expression was extremely serious.
“The painting was stolen.”
The entire hall immediately exploded. A famous painting worth twenty million. Disappeared again right in the middle of the auction. This is absolutely no small matter. While everyone was still talking. A voice suddenly rang out.
“Just now I thought I saw someone approaching the display area.”
Everyone immediately looked towards the person who had just spoken. That person is Lam Vi. She pretended to hesitate. His eyes turned straight to Lam Van.
“Sister, don't misunderstand.”
“I just feel…”
The sentence was left hanging. But the inner meaning was too clear. The atmosphere in the hall immediately became quiet. Countless eyes simultaneously focused on Lam Van. Lam Vi bowed his head. But the corners of his lips curled up silently. This was the trap she had prepared in advance. Just suspicion fell on Lam Van's head. So whether or not it can be proven innocent in the end. Her reputation will still suffer. The very next second. A low, cold voice suddenly rang out.
“Miss Lam has never been near the exhibition area.”
Everyone turned their heads simultaneously. Tham Nghien slowly walked out from the crowd. Cold face.
“Because in the last twenty minutes.”
“She is always by my side.”
Just one sentence. Directly extinguished all doubts. Lam Vi's face immediately changed. She didn't have time to speak yet. The hotel manager rushed over.
“The camera has been extracted!”
The big screen instantly lit up. The recording begins to play. A few minutes later. Everyone was stunned. Because of the person appearing in the video. Not Lam Van. It's Lam Vi's assistant. Taking advantage of employees' inattention. That assistant secretly took the painting out of the display area. The evidence is clear. The whole hall fell into silence. The blood on Lam Vi's face immediately drained away.
"Not me!"
“I didn't know this at all!”
Now no one believes her anymore. Mr. Lam's face was so gloomy that it was scary.
“You better give me one explanation.”
Lam Vi's legs were soft. The first time I really felt fear. Meanwhile. Co Tram Chu looked at Lam Van standing in the middle of the crowd. Suddenly remembered the past years. No matter what trouble the Co family encounters. She can handle everything calmly. It's never been about luck. But because she herself is already excellent enough. It's just that you've never seen it. That moment. Regret comes late. Finally, madness began to grow in his heart. The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. On a giant electronic screen. The recording from the camera is still playing over and over again. In the video. The scene where Lam Vi's assistant secretly takes the painting away is so clear that it cannot be denied. No matter how you explain it. It's all useless. The way everyone looked at Lam Vi was completely different from before. Ordinary day. This lady of the Lam family is always considered noble, elegant and understanding of decency. But now. She became the biggest joke of the whole party. Lam Vi's face turned pale. The voice trembled.
“Grandpa, I really don't know about this…”
Mr. Lam's eyes were as cold as ice.
“So how do you explain your assistant showing up there?”
Lam Vi opened his mouth. But words could not be uttered. Of course she knows the reason. Because it was all arranged by herself. But even in her dreams she didn't expect it. The hotel's camera recorded the video so clearly. Even more unexpected. Tham Nghien directly testified for Lam Van. The trap was carefully prepared. In the end, she pushed herself down the cliff. The chatter in the hall grew louder and louder.
“So it was her.”
“Just now, you deliberately blamed Ms. Lam.”
“This method is too low.”
“It seems that the golden man is really anxious.”
Every sentence and every word entered my ears. Lam Vi only felt her face burning. From small to large. She had never suffered such humiliation. Right at that moment. The security captain stepped up again.
“The painting has been found.”
Staff quickly brought the painting back to the hall.
