Trieu Tue Lan was stunned.

“You helped him too?”

Lam Man raised her hand to cover the scratch on her neck.

“Stop blaming others.”

“Every debt of the Co family is created by you yourselves.”

After saying that, she herself was stunned. Co Man walked over and gave her a tissue.

“This sentence still sounds like human language.”

Lam Man received it. When the commotion downstairs ended, the police took Trieu Tue Lan away to clarify the old incident. Before getting in the car, she kept calling Co Trach's name. But no one responded. The biggest event of chapter eighteen came faster than everyone expected. To save himself, Co Trach confessed to Tong Manh. General Manh was not willing. He immediately exposed all the dishonest things Co Trach had done over the past few years. When documents are sent to Thanh Hoa. After Chu Du read, his face was extremely ugly.

“Miss Khuong.”

“There's also you in here.”

I received the documents. Inside is a commitment written by Co Trach to General Manh many years ago. In it, he assured that: Once Minh Chau grows strong, he will gradually dilute Phuong Thanh Hoa's interests. At the same time, find ways to make it impossible for the other party to reclaim the initial investment amount. The day he signed that document... It was the second year after he and I got married. Co Man finished reading and immediately cursed:

“So from the beginning he wanted to pay off his debt?”

Lam Man was also speechless. Chu Du said softly:

“At that time, I was still secretly paying the company's salary out of pocket.”

I put the paper down. Turns out there were betrayals... They never appeared suddenly. It was buried inside the gentle words. Just wait until people stand firm. Then suddenly pulled out the knife. In the afternoon, Co Trach's lawyer proactively contacted me. He offered to reconcile. I agreed to meet. The location is a quiet teahouse. Co Trach was sitting in a private room. Beard and mustache not shaved. The cup of tea in front of me is still intact. As soon as he saw me enter, he immediately stood up.

“Khuong Le.”

I sat down. He pushed a settlement agreement in front of me.

“I accept a public apology.”

“I will refund all the money that can be refunded.”

“In return, you withdraw your petition to prosecute me for criminal liability.”

I looked at him.

“That's not for me to decide.”

“But I can influence.”

I calmly asked:

“Before, didn't you always say I didn't understand anything?”

Co Trach smiled bitterly.

“I was wrong.”

“Where did I go wrong?”

He was silent for a long time. The whole room was filled with only the sound of tea gently boiling. After a while, he slowly spoke up...

“You shouldn't betray this marriage.”

“What else am I wrong?”

“Don't let Lam Man go on stage and insult you.”

He frowned, looking like he was being pushed to the point of impatience. I continued for him:

"You shouldn't have started planning to steal Phuong Thanh Hoa's money from the second year after getting married."

The expression on Co Trach's face was completely broken.

“You saw it?”

I put the pledge on the table.

“Explain.”

His lips were dry.

"Back then, the company's pressure was too great. General Manh forced me to express my stance."

“I just wrote it for him, I didn't really intend to do that.”

“But you did.”

“I failed.”

“Not being successful doesn't mean never being successful do."

He finally exploded.

“Khuong Le, what do you want me to do?”

“I had nothing left.”

“Minh Chau is gone.”

“Reputation is gone.”

“My mother was also taken for questioning.”

“What else do you want?”

I calmly looked at him.

“I want you to pay off everything you owe to others.”

“What do I get to pay?”

"Don't you still have the house Lam Man helped you hide in your hand?"

Outside the private room door, there was suddenly the sound of a cup falling to the ground. Lam Man pushed the door and walked in. Her face was pale. She looked at Co Trach.

“You said that house was sold to pay off the company's debt.”

Co Trach stiffened.

“Man Man? Why are you here?”

Lam Man burst out laughing.

"I'll follow Khuong Le."

“She said today you will show your true face.”

“I still don't believe it.”

I don't deny it. Co Trach turned to look at me.

“You took advantage of her?”

Lam Man immediately interrupted:

“Stop pretending.”

“You bought that house under my name, right?”

“You said it was our home.”

“The result is just where you hide your money.”

Co Trach's face gradually darkened.

“Man Man, now is not the time to talk about this.”

“So when will we talk?”

“Waiting for me to go to jail instead of you?”

Co Trach shouted:

“Don't forget that you yourself are not clean.”

Lam Man nodded.

“I didn't forget.”

“So today I brought along the confession documents.”

She placed a file on the table.

“I will admit that I helped you delete data.”

“Ever forged propaganda documents.”

"I will also tell you the entire process that you ordered me to do."

Co Trach stared at her.
