Chapter 20 — The Onyx Bracelet Shatters, The Husband's Secret Is Also Revealed

Updated 10/08/2026 5 min read

It's a social network account that just posted a new post. Posted by: The content is only three words.

"I have proof."

It's an old photo. Photo was taken in the hospital. The time shown is three years ago. My mother was lying on the hospital bed. And the person standing next to her... Is Ha Chinh Duc. We just got out of the car. The hotel lobby manager rushed over. She lowered her voice:

"Miss Tham, there are a few people outside claiming to be your family."

I looked in the direction she pointed. Through the large glass of the hotel. I saw Ton Phuong Anh standing outside the door. Besides, there are also a few relatives of the Ha family. Everyone holds their phone. Point the lens straight towards the hall. Ha Chinh Duc was also present. He sits in a wheelchair. His face turned yellow. The legs are covered with a thin blanket. Outsiders looking in. They will definitely think I'm a cruel daughter-in-law. Forced a sick old man to personally go to the hotel to beg. Just saw me. Ton Phuong Anh immediately cried.

"Duong Duong!"

"Come out here!"

"I know you're still angry."

"But you can't make your father this angry!"

The surrounding guests simultaneously turned their heads to look back. Someone started holding up their phone to film. Several relatives of the Ha family also immediately followed suit.

"Tram Duong, do you still have a conscience?"

"Ha Nghien has anything wrong with you?"

"No matter what misunderstanding, everyone closes the door and talks."

"Do we have to make it this big?"

I stood in the hall. Don't step out. Lawyer Dieu lowered his voice and asked:

"Do we need security to ask them to leave?"

I shook my head.

"No need."

I took out my phone. Turn on video recording mode. Then step closer to the glass door. The door is still closed. I stand inside. Between us there is only a layer of transparent glass. I quietly looked at them. Ton Phuong Anh cried even more fiercely.

"Duong Duong!"

"What should I say?"

"We are one family!"

I hold the phone. Calmly look at her. Then raise your voice loud enough for everyone around you to hear.

"One person?"

Ton Phuong Anh immediately nodded vigorously.

"Is there anything that cannot be negotiated between a family member?"

I looked straight at her. The voice was calm and cold.

"Will someone from my family steal my seal?"

Her crying stopped. I continue.

"Will a family member forge my signature?"

"Will a family member mortgage my house?"

"Will a family member prepare a debt note of one thousand six hundred thousand yuan to make me bear it instead?"

There were immediately whispers around. The faces of several relatives of the Ha family changed simultaneously. Ton Phuong Anh stammered:

"I... I heard someone say that..."

I didn't give her a chance to explain.

"If we were one family."

"So why did you call a safe opener to come to my house this morning?"

"Why did you search my mother's trust records?"

"Why did you send someone to move my things to Luong Man's apartment?"

Every single question. All made Ton Phuong Anh's face a little whiter. Right at that moment. A relative standing next to him couldn't bear it any longer. Say loudly:

"Every family is confused at times!"

"What need do you have to push people into a corner?"

I turned to look at that person. Then slowly raise the phone. The lens is pointing straight at them.

"I also want to ask."

"When you take it my money."

"Use my property."

"Want me to bear the debt instead?"

"Did anyone ever think you were pushing me into a dead end?"

The atmosphere outside immediately froze. Right then. Someone's phone rang with a notification. Next is the second one. Then the third one. Lawyer Dieu's expression suddenly changed. She lowered her head to look at the screen. Then turned to me.

"Duong Duong."

"Luong Man just posted a new post."

I took the phone. On the screen was a hospital photo from three years ago. My mother was lying on the hospital bed. Next to him is Ha Chinh Duc. But what attracts the most attention. Not a photo. It's the comment line below.

"There are some things, only the deceased know the truth."

Right below. Luong Man also posted a short sentence.

"If Tram Duong wants to investigate to the end."

"Then let's investigate what her mother signed before she passed away."

In the hotel lobby. Everyone was dumbfounded. First time of the day. Slowly squeeze the phone in your hand. Because I know. Luong Man is not counterattacking. She is scared. Which people fear the most. Often people accidentally reveal the secret they most want to hide. I looked straight at Ha Chinh Duc.

"You always talk about fame."

"So when you applied to change beneficiary three years ago..."

"Why don't you think about reputation?"

"Why don't you think about the consequences later?"

Ha Chinh Duc's face immediately changed. Ton Phuong Anh was also stunned. Obviously they didn't expect me to say it directly in front of so many people. The crowd outside immediately stirred.

"What's the beneficiary?"

"Change the right to inherit property?"

"What just happened?"

Ha Chinh Duc tightened his grip on the wheelchair armrest.

"Don't talk nonsense."

I raised my phone.

"An application was rejected in the trust system."

"The applicant is you."

"Want to change the backup beneficiary from me to yourself."

"Do you want me to put it on speaker so the trust manager can explain again?"

Ha Chinh Duc's face was visibly pale. Ton Phuong Anh instinctively turned to look at her husband. Just that one look. Said too much. I suddenly understood. Perhaps even she doesn't know the whole truth. But definitely know some of it. That's why this morning I was so anxious to search for the trust records. Ha Chinh Duc said in a deep voice:

"That didn't work out."

"I'm just asking for help."

I laughed.

"Ask for help?"

"Who are you asking for help?"

"Help me or help yourself?"

No one can answer. Right at that moment. Lawyer Dieu's phone vibrated. She looked at the screen for a few seconds. His eyes suddenly turned cold.

"The results are out."

I turned. Lawyer Dieu gave me the phone.
