Chapter 12 — The Onyx Bracelet Shatters, The Husband's Secret Is Also Revealed
I looked at her without blinking.
"Watching because I'm afraid there will be valuables..."
"Or watch it because you're afraid there might be something inside that proves something?"
Ton Phuong Anh's face immediately sank. Instinctively, she wanted to use her position as mother-in-law to oppress me.
"Tram Duong."
"I have good intentions to help you."
"What do you mean by talking to mom like that?"
Lawyer Dieu stepped forward.
"Please stop touching these items immediately."
"They may be related to property evidence."
Hearing that, Ton Phuong Anh's momentum immediately weakened. She forced a smile and stepped back.
"I didn't take anything."
Right at that moment. Inside, there was the sound of metal hitting each other. I immediately walked quickly into the room. In the master bedroom dressing room. A strange man is squatting in front of the safe. Also holding a lock opening tool in his hand. Seeing us appear, he immediately panicked.
"Didn't everyone say that the family had already agreed to open the safe?"
I turned to look at Ton Phuong Anh. Her face was pale.
"I just want to help you see if there are real estate documents in there."
I asked coldly:
"How did you know there might be real estate documents in there?"
Ton Phuong Anh immediately choked up. Right at that moment. Ha Nghien also ran over. As soon as he saw the scene in the dressing room, his expression immediately changed.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
As if finding someone to back him up, Ton Phuong Anh immediately said:
"Didn't you do that for me?"
"What if those documents are really used to sue me?"
Ha Nghien shouted in a low voice:
"Mom, I told you not to touch it!"
I looked at the mother and daughter. Just find it extremely ironic. Last night when my bracelet was smashed. He told me not to make a big deal out of it. And now. When Ton Phuong Anh wanted to open my safe. He knows what not to touch. Not long after. The police also arrived. The two moving staff were brought to the living room to give testimony. The locksmith was so scared that he immediately handed over all his tools. He claimed that it was Ton Phuong Anh who called him. Tell your daughter-in-law to leave home. Need to clean up the furniture. He also said that everything is the property of the house so there is no need for any procedures. Ton Phuong Anh blushed frantically.
"I didn't tell him to leave home."
"I just said he quarreled with Ha Nghien."
I'm no longer interested in hearing her explanation. There were a few scratches on the surface of the safe. Luckily it hasn't been opened yet. I enter the password. The safe door slowly opened. On the top floor are my mother's medical records and a copy of her will. The second floor places a dark blue velvet box. I picked up the box. Inside is empty. My whole body immediately stopped. Lawyer Dieu quickly asked:
"What was inside before?"
"Another bracelet."
"It's the other one in the pair of bracelets from the one that was broken last night."
The whole room immediately fell silent. Ha Nghien's face suddenly changed.
"Do you still have another one?"
I looked at him.
"You don't know?"
His eyes immediately avoided. In my heart. The rope that had been taut since last night felt like it was being pulled hard again. I turned the box upside down. At the bottom there is still a card my mother left behind. It's still intact. The familiar handwriting is as gentle as ever. Sugar Sugar. A pair of these bracelets, one for your child to wear. Mom kept one for her child. If we meet later If someone truly loves you, you can give the other one to that person as a family member. If you don't meet someone like that... Then keep both for yourself. I looked at those words. The bridge of my nose suddenly stings. The past three years. I never took out the other bracelet. Not out of regret. But because I have never met someone who deserves it. But now. It disappeared again. Ton Phuong Anh immediately spoke up.
"I don't take it."
"I just got here."
"The safe can't be opened yet."
Lawyer Dieu turned to ask:
"Mr. Ha, do you know this bracelet exists?"
Ha Nghien was silent. I put the empty box down in front of him. A very long time later. He quietly replied:
"I saw it once."
"Since when?"
"Not long after we got married."
"What about after that?"
He lowered his eyes.
"I don't know."
That expression is too familiar. Every time I feel guilty. Ha Nghien avoided my eyes like that. The police began to inventory each item in the safe. Attorney Dieu asked me to remember the last time I saw the bracelet.
"Two years ago."
"The anniversary of my mother's death."
"I opened the safe that day."
"At that time the bracelet was still there."
"After that time, I never opened it again."
Right at that moment. Ton Phuong Anh suddenly muttered:
"Who knows, maybe you brought it to sell yourself."
I turned to look at her. She immediately fell silent. But at that moment. A moving employee outside the living room suddenly spoke up:
"She told us earlier that we must find a red box."
Everyone turned their heads to look at him. Ton Phuong Anh's face immediately turned pale.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The workers were also frantic.
"I'm not talking nonsense."
"She also said that if she couldn't find that item, it would be difficult to tell Mrs. Luong."
Those three words just rang out. The air in the room immediately froze. I slowly turned my head to look at Ha Nghien. His face was now extremely unsightly. I took out my phone and called Luong Man. The bell rang for a long time before she picked up. Hoarse voice.
"Tram Duong, what else do you want?"
I asked directly:
"Is the agate bracelet left in my safe with you?"
The other end of the line was silent for two seconds. Then she laughed.
"Are you sick?"
"Last night's broken one wasn't enough, now you want to slander the second one?"
Before I could speak, I suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside. The building manager brought a security guard and ran over.
"In the basement, someone stopped a car."
"In the car there were boxes of things that were delivered from your apartment."
"There's also a red jewelry box."
When we arrived at the underground parking lot, the white commercial vehicle was stopped right in front of the exit. The driver's face was filled with panic. The rear trunk is open. Inside there are two cartons. And a red jewelry box. The box is placed right at the top. As if intentionally letting me see. I stepped forward. Reach out and open it. On the velvet lining inside, there is still a pale concave ring. The bracelet is no longer there. Inside was just a folded piece of paper. Lawyer Dieu put on gloves and carefully opened them. There was only one line written on it. If you want your items back, withdraw your application. The handwriting is very bad. The pen strokes were so strong that they almost tore the paper. As soon as I saw that piece of paper, Ton Phuong Anh's feet limp, almost falling to the ground.
"Not me."
"I didn't know there was that piece of paper inside."
"I just told people to move things, I didn't tell anyone to write this."
I looked at her.
"So where did Mom tell them to move the things?"
She stammered.
"Go... back to your old home."
But the moving driver immediately shook his head.
"Not the old house."
"The address was sent to me by Mrs. Luong."
"It's Ngu Canh apartment in the west of the city."
The apartment is in Luong Man's name. Hearing that, even Ha Nghien closed his eyes.
