Chapter 12 — The Last Three Minutes of a Ten Year Marriage

Updated 10/08/2026 4 min read

An absolute silence. Everyone looked at me. Those eyes were like looking at a monster. Co Ngan reacted even more violently. He suddenly raised his head. Looking at his father in disbelief.

“Are you crazy?!”

Maybe he didn't even think about it in his dreams. The father always stands by his side. Don't just agree to dismiss him. But he also wants to give the entire company to the woman he hates the most right now. Even I was a bit surprised. I never thought Co Kien Quan would make such a decision. In the original plan. After dismissing Co Ngan. I will let Uncle Ly temporarily take on the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors. As for me, I will use my status as a major shareholder to join the board of directors. Take back control of the company step by step. Co Kien Quan looked at me. His eyes are deep and hard to fathom.

“You are very smart.”

“Also very clever.”

“Give the company to you…”

“I feel more secure in handing this useless son over.”

He stopped for a moment. First time. There was a plea in his voice.

“I only have one condition.”

“Respect this old man.”

"I also respect the love between the two of you for ten years as husband and wife."

“Leave him a way to live.”

Gu Jianjun's words were like a stone falling into a calm lake. Stir up each underground wave. Give me the company. This is beyond my expectations. But think again. It was more like a last move that this old fox made after losing everything. That way. He had just saved the last bit of face for the Co family. I just put on my body a shackle called mercy. He's betting. Bet I still remember ten years of love. It won't really push Co Ngan into a corner. Co Ngan also thought so. On his pale face. Finally there is a glimmer of hope. He looked at me. There was no longer resentment and hatred in his eyes like before. Which gets complicated. Bring a little prayer.

“On Tinh...”

He just opened his mouth. I coldly interrupted.

“Chairman Co.”

I looked straight at Co Kien Quan. The voice was calm and without ripples.

“Your terms.”

“I accept.”

“But I also have a condition.”

Co Kien Quan raised his eyes and looked at me.

“You say it.”

“I want Co Ngan.”

“In front of all the shareholders here.”

“Tell clearly every story over the past ten years.”

“How he lied to me.”

“How assets were transferred during marriage.”

"Colluded with Bach Nguyet to calculate the number of shares in my hands."

“One story at a time.”

“It must be said clearly.”

“I want him to tear off his mask of hypocrisy himself.”

“And officially apologize to me for everything he did.”

Those words just ended. The ray of hope that had just appeared in Co Ngan's eyes immediately disappeared. Make him publicly admit his own despicableness? That was more painful than killing him.

“Don't be too much!”

He screamed in despair.

"Exaggerated?"

I laughed coldly.

“Compared to your entire family working together to force me to leave empty-handed.”

“Even wanted to make me ‘disappear’ from this city.”

“I just need a word of truth.”

“And an apology.”

“Is that considered too much?”

Co Ngan was blocked by me. His face changed from white to blue. But it cannot be countered I have a word. Co Kien Quan looked at me deeply. He understands. This is my final limit. It's also the last concession I make to the Co family. He slowly closed his eyes. When I open my eyes again. In his gaze, only endless fatigue remained. He turned to look at Co Ngan. Hoarse voice. Co Kien Quan's voice carried a majesty that did not allow anyone to resist. Co Ngan's body trembled slightly. It was like all the strength in my body had been drained. He slumped down in his chair, depressed. The entire meeting room was immersed in a stuffy atmosphere. Everyone held their breath. Under the attentive eyes of dozens of shareholders. The young General Director was once enthusiastic and was the pride of the Co Thi Group. This moment. Again like a criminal standing in front of the dock. Pause each sentence and each word. He began his penance. He talked about initially seeing it all as a “temporary measure.” Then gradually get used to lying. Telling about how he enjoys the peaceful life I built behind him. While still blatantly going back and forth with Bach Nguyet outside. Talk about being jealous. Because of fear of the shares in my hand. Should quietly transfer assets.
