Chapter 14 — The Day You Pulled Your Lover On Stage, I Recovered All My Investment

Trieu Tue Lan's crying suddenly stopped. Co Trach helped her stand up.

“Khuong Le.”

“I have changed.”

“Humans will eventually have to learn what you have taught them.”

Chu Du stepped forward.

“Miss Khuong.”

“Everything in the building has been cleaned up.”

I nodded. Suddenly, Co Trach asked:

“What is your next step?”

I looked towards the main door. The group of workers is completely removing Minh Chau's old sign. The new sign has not yet been installed. Chu Du said:

“Miss Khuong.”

"Mr. Luong's side has finished preparing."

“We can sign a new lease tomorrow.”

Heard the name Mr. Luong. Co Trach's eyes moved slightly.

“Are you planning to open a new company?”

I don't answer. Co Man spoke up for me.

“Old brother-in-law.”

“Stop being curious.”

“Now your only connection to this building…”

“It's just a deadline to move out.”

Lam Man came to me on the evening of the third day. She doesn't wear makeup. Wear a wrinkled jacket. Standing at the gate of the residential area and being stopped by the security guard. When I went downstairs. The first thing she did was put the USB in front of me.

“There's one more copy.”

I don't accept.

“What you gave me last time was enough.”

"This is a recording of a private conversation between Co Trach and General Manh."

“They intend to push all the responsibility onto me.”

She spoke very quickly. As if if you were just a little slow someone would drag you away. I looked at her.

“Why did you come to find me?”

Lam Man laughed. Ugly, pitiful smile.

“Because I found out…”

“I thought I stole a ship.”

“But it turned out to be just a leaky pot.”

“You are not innocent.”

"I know."

She raised her head to look at me.

“I don't expect your forgiveness either.”

“I just want to live.”

The security guard sits in the duty room. Pretend to read the newspaper. But the ears stood straight up and heard clearly.

“You can call the police.”

Lam Man shook his head.

“Co Trach kept in his hands a lot of evidence that I used to work for him.”

“If I call the police.”

“He will also drag me into the water.”

“Khuong Le.”

“You are more cruel than him.”

“But also more principled than him.”

“So I can only find you.”

I received the USB.

"Condition?"

“Give me a job.”

I looked at her. Lam Man immediately added:

“No need for a high position.”

“Receptionist is fine.”

“Assistant is fine.”

“I know how to work.”

“I know who in Minh Chau can use it and who only knows how to flatter.”

“I also know what holes Co Trach still hides.”

“Why do you think I would use you?”

She was silent for a few seconds.

“Because you need a villain.”

“Put me under your eyelids.”

“It's more beneficial for me to go out and bite around.”

This time it sounded sincere. Right at that moment. The elevator door opens. Co Man walked out carrying late night food. Just saw Lam Man. She immediately raised her eyebrows.

“Has the future mistress moved to work for the new house?”

Lam Man's expression immediately became unbearable.

“Stop making fun of me.”

Co Man gave me the food bag.

“I'm not being sarcastic.”

“I was just making an announcement.”

“When you sat in Khuong Le's position.”

“Should have thought about today.”

Lam Man gritted her teeth.

“I can apologize.”

Co Man immediately replied:

“Then please go.”

Lam Man looked towards me. She tightened her grip on the bag strap.

“Holiday ringing bells listed.”

“I shouldn't have gone on stage.”

“You shouldn't Let Co Trach send that message to you.”

"You shouldn't wear the bracelet at the Co family's house."

“You should not be accused of stealing company documents.”

Co Man clicked his tongue.

“Pretty complete.”

“Is there more?”

Lam Man's face became even whiter.

“Records should not be deleted.”

“I can't delete it.”

“But I've thought about it.”

“And already done.”

She bowed her head.

“Khuong Le.”

“I admit I'm evil.”

"I'm not the person who was deceived by Co Trach and didn't know anything."

“I want to win you.”

“Wanted to show everyone that I am more useful than you.”

“Do you know now?”

Her voice grew smaller.

“I know.”

“What I won…”

“Just a fake victory.”

Co Man's phone suddenly rang. She answered the phone. His face immediately changed.

“Khuong Le.”

“Something happened.”

“Co Trach just posted a video online.”

“Say you colluded with outsiders to rob Minh Chau.”

"And you said you've had a man behind you for a long time."

Lam Man suddenly raised her head.

“Is he crazy?”

I took out my phone. In the video. Co Trach sat in an empty office. Tired eyes. The voice choked. He said that he was plotted by his ex-wife. Five years of marriage turned into betrayal. He said I had an older man named Luong behind me. The collapse of Minh Chau is not a business failure. It's because I use all means to get revenge. The comments section exploded.

“Does a housewife have someone to back her up? It's disgusting.”

“Look at Mr. Co, he's so pitiful.”

“No wonder she has the ability to take down the entire company. Turns out there was someone behind it.”

Co Man was so angry that he cursed.

“It's truly shameless.”

Lam Man stared at the video. Suddenly spoke up:

“I know what his next step will be.”

I looked at her.

“Early tomorrow morning.”

“He will lead the media to Mr. Luong's door.”

“He knows Mr. Luong's niece is sick.”

“The biggest fear is being disturbed.”

I put my phone away.

“Are you sure?”

“Co Trach has used this trick before.”

“Who doesn't listen to him?”

“He will force his way to that person's door.”
