Chapter 30 — Post-Divorce Rebound: Claiming My Daughter and Starting Over

He is not merely a leading commercial lawyer. Furthermore, his law firm maintains an exceptionally intimate relationship with several investigative agencies, and even with the media. Recently, beyond the messy divorce proceedings of Diep Thanh Uyen, he seems to have been secretly investigating another matter entirely. As for the specifics, we have yet to confirm the details, but the trajectory of his inquiries appears to be inextricably linked to Ms. Lam.

Linked to Lam Vy Vy? The heart of Co Dinh Tham sank into an abyss. Once the seed of suspicion is sown, it roots itself with frantic intensity, sprawling and multiplying. He began to reflect. At times, a flash of sharp, piercing coldness would cross Lam Vy Vy’s eyes—a look that felt entirely incompatible with the gentle, virtuous persona she cultivated. He recalled how she was overly attentive to his business dealings, how she masterfully pandered to his mother and won over the children, and yet, it dawned on him that she had never truly opened her heart to him.

What if this had been a calculated gambit from the very beginning? What if the three sons he viewed as his rightful heirs, the ones he had poured so much effort and soul into raising, were merely pawns in that grand design? The thought sent a jolt of ice down his spine, followed immediately by a surge of overwhelming fury. It was the rage of a man deceived, of a man betrayed.

Continue to monitor Lam Vy Vy closely! I want to know everything. Every phone call she makes, every time she leaves the house, who she meets, what is said. And one more thing—find a way to get your hands on that box, whatever the cost!

He roared into the receiver, his voice raspy and jagged with a cruelty that suggested he had burned every bridge behind him. Yes, Mr. Co.

The line went dead. Co Dinh Tham slumped back into his chair, his gaze vacant and hollow as he stared up at the ceiling. Enemies at the gate and traitors within. Everyone was abandoning him. Could it be that Co Dinh Tham was truly destined to collapse here? No! He bolted upright, his eyes glinting with a vicious, predatory light. Even if he were to fall, he would drag everyone down to hell with him. Diep Thanh Uyen, Lam Vy Vy, and all those currently hiding in the shadows, waiting to witness his downfall—not a single one of them would escape. He reached for the internal line and issued a cold command to his secretary.

Prepare the car. I am going to the old estate. Notify the legal department and the head of media relations. In one hour, I expect them in the boardroom.

The storm was gathering velocity. Those standing at the eye of the hurricane held their own secret agendas, waiting for the perfect moment to deliver a fatal blow or be torn to shreds by their opponents. Who would emerge as the ultimate predator? Who would be the beast cornered into a desperate end? Beneath the surface of what appeared to be a calm sea, the undercurrents had coalesced into a violent whirlpool, baring its jagged fangs.

The first blow to break the silence was an anonymous post on a financial forum. The article did not state names explicitly, using only initials and industry jargon, but it detailed the activities of a real estate tycoon surnamed C with such precision that the intent was clear. It spoke of illicit gain, collusion with government officials, and a blatant disregard for ethical boundaries. It even made pointed allusions to his private life and his children. The writing was sophisticated and the details felt authentic. Although the post was quickly scrubbed, screenshots had already begun to circulate through every relevant circle.

A real estate tycoon surnamed C, currently under investigation. Beyond Co Dinh Tham, who else could it be? Almost immediately, a well-known investigative news outlet, famous for its audacity, published an in-depth report targeting the South City project belonging to the Co Group. The article suggested that the bidding process had been marred by irregularities and that the corporation’s cash flow was riddled with suspicious activity, hinting at ties to shell companies acting as fronts. While the piece refrained from naming Co Dinh Tham directly, the implications were unmistakable, leaving anyone with a shred of industry acumen to draw the only possible conclusion.
