Chapter 1 — Ten Awakening Slaps

The CEO forced the security guard to slap me ten times. When the secretary calmed down, she transferred me one million in compensation. The next day, seeing that my seat was empty, he asked the staff and only received one question: "She just asked for a month's leave to get married." My husband, Co Than, in front of all employees in the company, ordered the security guard to slap me ten times. The reason is so ridiculous that it's funny. His favorite secretary, Lieu Y Y, at the company's year-end party, pretended to fall down and pointed at me with red eyes. "Mr. Co, I... I know Ms. To Tham didn't mean it." "Maybe she just found me annoying." Just one sentence convicted me. I, To Tham. Married for three years, living at my own company and living like an invisible person. No one knows I'm the general manager's wife. I'm just a lowly employee of the project department. Co Than hugged Lieu Y Y in his arms, his eyes were as cold as ice. "To Tham, come here and apologize to Y Y." I stood still, my nails digging into my palms. "I didn't push her." Lieu Y Y cried even harder, tears like rain, looking extremely pitiful. "Boss Co, stop it, I'm fine. Sister To Tham probably didn't mean it." The more she said that, the more pitiful Co Than's face became. gloomy. He thought I made him lose face. Especially in front of the woman he loves. He let go of Lieu Y Y and walked towards me step by step. "I'll say it again, sorry." I stubbornly looked straight into his eyes. "I wasn't wrong, why should I apologize?" Colleagues around me whispered, looking at me with disdain and sarcasm. In their eyes, I'm just an idiot who doesn't know how to measure himself and dreams of climbing high. And Lieu Y Y is the recognized soulmate next to the president. Co Than laughed. But the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes. "Okay." "Very good." He turned around, his voice not loud but loud enough to echo throughout the hall. "Where are the security guards?" Two tall security guards immediately ran over. "General Co." Co Than pointed at me, saying each word: "Fight." "Fight until Secretary Lieu vents his anger." The two guards looked awkward, looking at me. Co Than's voice suddenly became higher, carrying an order that no disobeying was allowed. "Ten slaps on the ear." "Not even one." The whole world seemed to fall silent. I looked at the man I loved for five years. My heart grew cold little by little. The first slap landed, my mind was pounding. Painful. Burning. But I don't cry. The second one. The third one… I stared at Co Than, hoping to see even a hint of sadness on his face. Do not have. Absolutely none. He just stood there coldly looking at me, as if I were a stranger who had nothing to do with him. As for Lieu Y Y, in his heart, he slightly curled his lips and smiled proudly, his eyes filled with the posture of a winner. The ten slaps ended. My face was swollen, the corners of my mouth were bleeding. At this moment, Co Than stepped forward and looked down at me from above. "Do you know how to apologize now?" I looked at him. Suddenly doing something that he completely did not expect. I laugh. That smile made Co Than stunned. There is no meanness in that smile. No begging. Only a piece of silence remained. Lieu Y Y moved in his arms and said coyly: "General Co, you look at her... she seems to have gone crazy." Co Than frowned, an annoyed look appearing in the bottom of his eyes. Perhaps in his eyes, my appearance right now makes him lose face. "To Tham, don't stand here and lose face anymore." "Go away." I didn't move. Just looked at him, using his red, swollen lips to say each word clearly: "Co Than, I..." Before he could finish his sentence, he impatiently interrupted. "Enough!" He took out his phone and made a few operations right in front of everyone. Very quickly, my phone rang with a notification. “Bank account

Your number ending in XXXX has just received 1,000,000.00 yuan. What can I exchange for a million? "If it were me, I would stand in line every day waiting to be slapped." Lieu Y Y also looked at me with the eyes of a winner, as if to say: "See? In his eyes, you are not even equal to a strand of my hair. Your self-esteem is only worth a million." I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth, stood up straight. I didn't look at the gloating faces around me. I also didn't look at Co Than anymore. I turned around, step by step leaving the hall that had made me suffer all kinds of humiliation. Every step felt like I was stepping on a knife's tongue. But I knew. From this moment on, there were a few things... Completely dead. Returning to the cold villa still called "home". I didn't turn on the light. I sat in the dark, letting the pain on my face and the despair in my heart swallow me up. This wasn't the first time he humiliated me because of Lieu Y Y. I stayed up for three nights to complete the plan.
