Chapter 18 — Prosperity Three Jewels

17

After the children go to school, I have more time to handle the work of the charity. In one year, "Nhuyen Chau Fund" developed very quickly, helping more than a thousand girls who had to drop out of school. To support my career, Tham Thinh Chau also specially bought an entire office floor right next to the headquarters of Tham Thi Group. He said if I was tired from work, I could just walk a few steps and go to his office to take a nap. That extreme favoritism causes all employees in the company to have to "eat a full salary". But celebrities have a lot of gossip, and the charity fund's success quickly made some rivals jealous. After Bach Mong Dao went to prison, although the Bach Thi Group declined, a few distant relatives of the Bach family were still active in the business world in Van Thanh. Among them is a person named Lam Dai Cuong, who used to sell medical equipment and always wanted to take over our fund's projects. Seeing that he couldn't compete directly, he started spreading rumors online. He said the cash flow of the "Nhuyen Chau Fund" was unclear, suspecting that the Tham family used charity to launder money. They even hired a team of online "marines" to pull up Tham Tinh Chau's old medical records, saying it was all just to hide the family scandal. When this news reached me, I was surveying in the mountains with volunteers. The assistant angrily showed me the tablet.

“Lady, this guy Lam Dai Cuong is really too much, he even said that you used your children to climb to your current position.”

I closed the document, feeling extremely calm. Three years of living in a wealthy family, combined with the influence of Tham Tinh Chau, I was no longer the girl who only knew how to cry in the past. I immediately called him.

"Thin Chau, this time I want to handle the fund's matter myself."

On the other end of the line, Tham Nhinh Chau was preparing to open a business war. Hearing that, he was silent for a moment and then smiled slightly.

“Okay, Mrs. Tham, I will be your rear guard.”

After returning to Van Thanh, I did not issue an explanation statement, but directly held a press conference. I invited all of Van Thanh's major media agencies and the government's financial audit experts. In the hall, Lam Dai Cuong mixed in with the group of reporters, preparing to cause trouble. I stood on the podium, wearing a neat white suit, with a calm expression.

"Regarding the recent rumors targeting the 'Nhuyen Chau Foundation', today I will give a complete answer."

I signaled the staff to turn on the projector. On the screen were not vague explanations, but the entire fund's books for the past year, detailing where each coin was spent. Not only that, I also published a copy of the DNA test report when the three children were born. This report has the seal of approval from three leading international organizations.

“If anyone is interested in my children's bloodline, then today I will satisfy everyone's curiosity.”

“Slandering others can be done by just opening your mouth, but the law requires evidence to punish others.”

I looked straight at Lam Dai Cuong, my eyes as sharp as knives.

“Mr. Lam, evidence that your company falsified financial statements and evaded taxes has been sent to the economic investigation team.”

Lam Dai Cuong's face immediately turned pale, pen in hand landfall. He originally thought I was just a young lady living happily at home, not understanding anything about business or law. But he forgot that Tham Thinh Chau invited a team of professional consultants to teach me for three years. The press conference immediately turned into Lam Dai Cuong's "trial". As he was led away by the police, the whole hall erupted in applause. I don't know when Tham Thinh Chau was standing at the door of the hall. He held a bouquet of bright red roses and walked steadily towards me. In front of all the cameras, he gave me flowers and then leaned down and gently kissed my forehead.

“Very good work, Mrs. Tham.”

That moment immediately made the front page the next day. The headline is: “Women are not inferior to men – Mrs. Tham strongly smashes rumors.” When I got home, Trieu Hue Phuong was playing with the children. Seeing me, she immediately ran to hold my hand, excited like a fan.

"Nhuyen Nhuyen, today you are really cool! I watched on TV and saw you making that guy named Lam bow his head and not dare to say anything, I felt extremely happy!"

An An ran to hug my leg, raising her small face full of admiration.

“Mom is a superhero, catch the bad guys!”

Chau Chau still kept a cold expression, but secretly stuffed a pre-peeled candy into my hand. Tham Quoc Dao sat on the sofa and nodded in approval.

“On Nhuyen, you are now more and more like the mistress of the Tham family.”

At that moment, I felt unprecedented strength. I know I am no longer just a protected person, but also have the ability to protect this family. Tham Thinh Chau hugged me from behind, his voice low.

“Wife, you're so good that it puts a bit of pressure on me.”

I turned around and gently pinched his nose.

“Then you have to treat me a little better, otherwise Mrs. Tham will lead the children to expand their territory.”

He laughed lowly, hugging me tighter. Moonlight fell into the living room, the children's immature laughter mixed with the family's conversation. I closed my eyes, leaned against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. This place is the strongest fortress of my life.

After life got back on track, the three children gradually revealed completely different talents. Chau Chau has an incredible sensitivity to numbers. At just five years old, she was able to understand the financial reports on Tham Thinh Chau's desk. Niem Niem again stands out in the field of art, the family picture she drew is hung in the most visible position in the Tham family's living room. As for An An, the most naughty boy in the family but also the most observant. Whenever Trieu Hue Phuong and Tham Quoc Dao quarreled over small matters, he could always use a few sweet words to make the two reconcile. In the blink of an eye, it was the children's sixth birthday. The Tham family decided to hold a private family party for the three children. No business people invited, just a few closest friends. Before the party started, Tham Tinh Chau was sitting in the office with a pensive look on his face. I brought coffee in and saw him staring at an old file. That is the full testimony about Bach Mong Dao bribing doctor Truong Khai Minh in the past.

“Are you still watching this?” I put down the coffee and gently rubbed his shoulder.

Tham Thinh Chau pulled my hand and let me sit on his lap.

“You thinking... even though the truth was clarified that year, Dr. Truong Khai Minh still hasn't received the appropriate punishment."
