Chapter 17 — Tell My Husband's Phone Number In LV, I End My Eight-Year Marriage
I put down the microphone. Amidst the chaotic scene and countless eyes focused on me... I slowly walked down the stage. Go straight in front of Chu Yen. Look at his pale, bloodless face. I calmly spoke:
“Let's get a divorce.”
Then I gently pointed at the neat suit he was wearing. On his lips was the brightest smile of the past eight years.
“This outfit…”
“It really suits your outcome today.”
Having said that... I didn't look at him again. Just turn around. Step out of the hall. The place where all my dreams were once stored. But now... Only filth remains. The night outside is very deep. But the atmosphere... It's strangely fresh. The car left the hotel. I lowered the window to the lowest level. The cold night wind immediately rushed in, hitting my face with pain. The source of strength that supported me throughout the entire process of revenge... Along with the burning anger... All followed the constantly receding scene outside the window and gradually left my body. Only endless fatigue remains. Like big waves, slowly engulfing me. I don't cry. From the moment I opened that iron box... My tears dried up. I just drove quietly. No purpose. Wandering through the city at midnight. The phone placed on the passenger seat vibrated continuously. I don't need to look to know. The caller can only be Chu Yen or Lam My Lan. I immediately turned off the power. Then throw that small phone into the storage compartment. The world... Finally quiet. The car stopped below my parents' apartment complex. I raised my head to look at the still-lit window. It's the only light in this city... Always for me. I carried the bag containing all the evidence. One step at a time. Go upstairs. The person who opened the door was my mother. She was still wearing her pajamas. She was always awake waiting for me. As soon as she saw me... Her eyes immediately turned red.
“Nguyet Nguyet…”
I can't hold on any longer. The bag in my hand fell to the ground. I was like a child rushing straight into my mother's arms. So much self-pity. How much pain. How much disgust. Suppression for several days and nights... It all turned into sobbing. My father came out of the room. He looked at me. Heavily sighed. Then he slowly walked over and clumsily patted my back.
“It's good to be back.”
“It's good to be back.”
“My parents are here.”
That night... I told you everything. Don't hide anything. From the gift story at LV. Go to To Tinh at Bach Duyet Phu De. The stepson was hidden for five years. Every time my mother heard it, her body trembled. She was so angry that her lips turned white. Both hands held mine tightly. Constantly choking:
“My stupid daughter…”
“Why do I have to endure so much humiliation…”
As for my father... From beginning to end, he didn't say a word. It's just that his face became more and more serious. He picked up my phone. Restart the machine. Looking at the series of missed calls and cursing messages filling the screen... He said nothing. Just holding the phone Chu Yen once bought for me. Throw it hard on the floor. The phone immediately broke into many pieces.
“Such filthy things…”
“We don't need it anymore!”
He stood up. The decisive voice did not allow anyone to doubt.
“Nguyet Nguyet.”
“Tomorrow I will take you to find the law the best monk.”
“This marriage... must be divorced!”
“Does the Chu family want to force you to leave empty-handed?”
“Dad, tell them…”
“Don't dream!”
“Every penny of dirty money Chu Yen has spent…”
“We will force it to release both capital and interest!”
Looking at my father's angry and determined face... My floating heart was finally put down. I have never had to fight alone. The next morning... The scandal at Chu Thi Group's party immediately exploded across financial newspapers and social networks. #General Director Chu Thi had an affair in her marriage, her stepson was exposed, a trillion-dollar contract broke down# #Results of DNA testing hidden in LV tailor-made vest# #The revenge of the main wife was the most shocking of the year# Each headline sent chills down readers' spines. Chu Yen company's stock price plummeted that day. Almost lost half of its value. Countless reporters flocked to surround Chu Thi company headquarters and the Chu family villa. Everyone wants to dig up more secrets behind this scandal. After just one night... The Chu family became the laughing stock of the whole city. Under the accompaniment of my parents... Enter the most famous law office in the city. Lawyer Truong... Is the person I contacted before. After hearing all the new details. Looking at all the irrefutable evidence on my USB... Even she couldn't hide her surprise.
“Mrs. Chu…”
She stopped slightly and smiled to correct her words.
“It should be called Ms. Tham.”
She pushed her glasses up and looked at me firmly.
“You can rest assured.”
“This lawsuit... we will definitely win.”
“It's not just divorce.”
“But it can also make him pay the heaviest price for everything he has done.”
When I signed my name on the petition... The sunlight penetrated through the leaf curtains, shining down in front of me in dappled streaks of light.
