Chapter 7
Chapter 7 — The Wedding Was Broadcast Live, I Came Back To Life From The Coffin
When it's time to divide the blame... Everyone just worries about saving themselves. Hua Minh Chau crawled next to my father's wheelchair. Crying so much that my makeup was all smudged.
"Dad, I was wrong. I was forced by mom. Dad has loved me for so many years, he can't leave me alone."
My father looked at her.
“Dad loves you... because he always thinks you're just a child.”
Hua Minh Chau quickly nodded.
“But I'm not a child anymore.”
My father's voice trembled.
“You are a murderer.”
Hua Minh Chau stiffened. My father took out an old photo from his chest. In the photo, I am ten years old. Hua Minh Chau is eight years old. The two of them stood in front of the villa door. She timidly hid behind Chu Lam. And I hugged the strawberry cake, trying to smile at her. That day, my father told me:
“Mien Mien, from now on Minh Chau will be your sister.”
I don't like her at all. But I still gave her the biggest strawberry on the cake. My father slowly closed his eyes.
“Dad raised me for more than ten years, and never expected me to be grateful.”
“But Tri Mien truly considered me her sister.”
“And yet... how could you bear to kill him?”
Hua Minh Chau couldn't cry anymore. Of course she can do it. As long as one person dares to reach out to take something that does not belong to them, the second time they will dare to take someone's life. Before being taken away, Tham Ky Bach suddenly stopped next to me. His voice was very quiet.
“You won't win.”
I tilted my head to look at him.
"The Tham family will not abandon me. Hua Tri Mien, touching me means touching the entire Tham family."
Those words made many people in the hall silent. The power of the Tham family in this city is too great. Tham Ky Bach is the best heir of this generation. Even if he falls off his horse, the Tham family will find every way to pull him out. I admit. He had indeed grasped the last life-saving straw. I smiled.
“Who said I want to touch the Tham family?”
He frowned. I raised my hand and pointed to the second floor of the banquet hall. There, from beginning to end, there was still a man in a gray suit sitting quietly. The man took off his glasses and slowly stood up. Tham Ky Bach's face immediately changed. That's Tham Thua Chuong. A member of the second branch of the Tham family. For many years, he was always oppressed by Tham Ky Bach's father, and in the group he was only in charge of businesses that few people paid attention to. In everyone's eyes, he is a gentle, weak and incompetent person. Only I know. Thirteen years ago, it was he who silently gave clues about my mother's accident to my father. Tham Thua Chuong walked down the stairs and stopped in front of Tham Ky Bach.
“Ky Bach, last night the board of directors of the Tham group approved an emergency plan.”
“Your father also signed his resignation this morning.”
“From this moment on, I will temporarily act on his behalf to exercise the powers of the chairman of the board of directors.”
Tham Ky Bach seemed to not understand what he had just heard.
“No way.”
Tham Thua Chuong gave a file to the person in charge of the project team.
"The Tham Group will fully coordinate with the investigation agency, including Ms. Hua's accident thirteen years ago, the poisoning of Chairman Hua and the suspected embezzlement of the group's money by Tham Ky Bach personally."
Tham Ky Bach suddenly turned to look at me. In the eyes he finally appeared afraid. I said softly:
“The fifth gift... is called alienation.”
It's not like I could convince Tham Thua Chuong. It was Tham Ky Bach who helped me. For so many years, he has been so smooth sailing that he thinks everyone is just a pawn. He used money from the Tham group to fill the financial hole of the Hua group. Use the Hua group's technology to pave your way. Even turning the projects of the second branch of the Tham family into sacrifices. Tham Thua Chuong has been patient for too long. Simply put the knife in his hand. As for when he puts down the knife... That's the private matter of the Tham family. When Tham Ky Bach was escorted away, the wedding music still played automatically. In the gentle sound of piano.
