Chapter 8 — Once I don't hold back, your whole family has to pay the price

I don't want my life to continue being stuck in that cycle anymore.

“I live very well, and I hope you… don't disturb my life.”

Having finished speaking, I turned around and left. He suddenly shouted from behind.

"Do you think I don't know? You're relying on another man now, right?"

“I investigated, the place you work at is the best law firm in the city, your house rents more than 10,000 yuan a month!”

"You just got divorced, where did the money come from? Did you already have a relationship with Luc Trach?"

His voice was full of jealousy and bitterness, distorted to the point of being unsightly. I stopped walking, turned around, and looked at him coldly. Look at the man... when he doesn't have it, he starts defaming others. It's funny.

“Chu Minh, do you think a woman can't live without you?”

“Or do you think… all women's success depends on men?”

“I tell you, I entered Hengtian thanks to my own ability.”

“I can rent a good house because of the money I make myself.”

“Unlike you, a thirty-year-old man… still has to use his wife's money to clean up the consequences for his useless sister.”

Every sentence... hits the sore spot. Chu Minh's face immediately turned red and was so angry that he was distorted. He was poked at a weak point and immediately became angry.

“You… you slut!”

He raised his hand, as if he wanted to hit me. My eyes cooled down, my body ready to react. At that moment— A car screeched next to us. The car door opens. Luc Trach walked down. He glanced at Chu Minh's raised hand, then looked at me, frowning slightly. Don't say a word. He took off his vest and put it on my shoulders. Then he stepped forward, wrapped his arms around my shoulders, pulled me towards him, naturally shielding me. He looked at Chu Minh, his eyes were cold, his voice was terrifyingly calm.

“Harass my client… I can sue you.”

“If you dare to lay a hand on her again… I guarantee you will receive a letter from a top-level lawyer from our company.”

Chu Minh looked at Luc Trach, then at the shirt on my shoulder, at his hand on my shoulder. His eyes… immediately turned red. It was the feeling of being humiliated... as well as being robbed of something that I thought belonged to me. A kind of jealousy... almost crazy. Chu Minh was overwhelmed by Luc Trach's aura, his eyes were glued to the vest on my shoulder and that firmly placed hand, his reason was burned away in crazy jealousy. He was like an angry bull, screaming uncontrollably.

"Very good, Lam Thu! You finally admitted it!"

"I saw something wrong a long time ago! How can an office worker like you understand the law so much!"

“It turned out that I was dating this big lawyer early, give me a green hat!”

The dirty words were like mud thrown straight at me, making my chest contract in anger. My face turned cold, my whole body trembled slightly. Luc Trach's hand gently squeezed my shoulder, a very small force... but enough to keep me standing. He didn't get angry, his voice didn't even raise his voice a bit. It's just that his eyes looked at Chu Minh... like looking at a ridiculous person who was destroying himself.

“Mr. Zhou, the standard for a defamation lawsuit is that fabricated information has been viewed more than five thousand times or shared more than five hundred times.”

“But your current behavior is enough to constitute a serious violation of honor and mental harm to my client. I."

“I can absolutely report it to the police right now, for disturbing public order.”

Luc Trach's every sentence was like a precise scalpel, exposing Chu Minh's empty aggression. I understand the law. And know how to use it... to make the opponent pay the most painful price. Chu Minh's throat was blocked, his face was red, but he couldn't say a word. He is only used to screaming and forcing people with morality. But in the face of true professionalism and dominance… it all becomes meaningless.

“There's more.” Luc Trach's eyes turned cold.

“Lam Thu is a staff member directly recruited by me.”

“Her ability comes from expertise, not any dirty path.”

“If you have doubts, I welcome you to hire a lawyer and argue in court.”

“But if you continue to harass and humiliate her… I guarantee you will regret it.”

Having finished speaking, he did not look at Chu Minh again, put his arm around my shoulder, and decisively left. His movements were strong… but carried a feeling of absolute protection. I was pulled into the car by him, the door closed, blocking the face distorted by jealousy behind me. The car rolled away, merging into the night traffic. The car was very quiet, only soft music flowing. The shirt on my shoulders... still smells of his warm wood. After the last wave... my heart felt strangely calm.

“He won't be easily missed.” I looked out the window, my voice light.

“I know.” Luc Trach replied, his voice was calm.

“Someone like him, when his self-esteem is hurt... will become even more extreme.”

“You should be careful in the next few days.”

"I will." I nodded.

He took me back downstairs to the building, but didn't leave right away. I'm back. His eyes were as deep as the night sea.

“You did very well today.”

“I was neither agitated nor collapsed by his words.”

“You are much stronger than you think.”

The compliment was so unexpected that... my heart trembled slightly. A little sour. A little soft.
