Chapter 10 — Three Years of Patience, One Day of Flipping the Cards

List of assets. I know every item on there by heart. Which item is real? Which item is fake? Any item that at first glance seems worthwhile. But in reality, underneath is a deep hole and debt. This list is like a beautifully wrapped gift box. It's just time to open it. Just discovered it was completely empty inside. But today. I won't tell him. I continued flipping to the last page. Pick up the pen.

"Wait."

I raised my head to look at Co Canh Tham.

“I have one last question.”

He raised his eyebrows.

“You should ask.”

“That day at the restaurant.”

“You were the one who asked my dad to come, right?”

“The story of To Uyen Ninh beating him.”

“Did you know in advance?”

The entire meeting room immediately fell silent. To Uyen Ninh's face changed slightly. Co Canh Tham remained calm. Just slowly adjust the cuffs.

“Nem Khanh.”

“It's an old story.”

“No need to pursue any further.”

“Do you know or don't you know?”

I looked straight at him. He sighed. It's like being helpless in front of a child who doesn't understand.

“I told Uyen Ninh to go talk to your father.”

“Advise him not to hinder the divorce.”

“And then there was a fight.”

“It's because my father's attitude was not good first.”

“I'm not present.”

“I can't manage it.”

“I'm present.”

My voice is very light. But every word is clear.

“I'm standing right next to you.”

“Watch her slap my dad twice.”

To Uyen Ninh immediately intervened.

“One hand claps without making a sound.”

“Your father speaks harshly.”

“How about I teach him a few words?”

“Just a bankrupt old man.”

“What else are you pretending to be?”

I turned my head to look at her. That look made her feel a little guilty. But still trying to puff out my chest.

“What are you looking at?”

“Hurry up and sign.”

“After signing, get the hell out of the Co family.”

“Don't appear in front of me from now on.”

I didn't say another word. Just bow your head. Sign your name on the last line of the agreement. The pen strokes are very solid. No hesitation. I put down my pen. Co Canh Tham immediately picked up the agreement to read. See signature. The corners of his lips curled up with satisfaction. He gave the contract to the lawyer. Then patted the back of To Uyen Ninh's hand.

"Done."

To Uyen Ninh completely relaxed. Lean back in the chair. Looking at me was like looking at a stray cat that was finally kicked out of the house.

“Tham Niem Khanh.”

I stopped at the door. But don't turn back.

“Remember to remove all of your torn clothes from the living room.”

“Don't leave this in my house as an eyesore.”

I pulled open the conference room door. People in the hallway pretended not to look. But when I walked past. The atmosphere was strangely quiet. Secretary Vuong stood at the desk. In his hand he holds a file. When I passed by. He hesitated for a long time. Finally speaking up.

“Miss...Miss Tham.”

I stopped walking. He glanced toward the meeting room. Then lower your voice.

“That agreement…”

“Have you really looked carefully?”

I looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

He hesitated for a moment. Then shook his head again.

"Nothing."

"Nothing."

“You go carefully.”

I don't ask more. Just turn around and step into the elevator. When you get down to the first floor lobby. I took out my phone. Send a message.

“Signed.”

Two seconds later. A reply message appears.

“Initiate option number 3.”

I put my phone in my pocket. Push the building's revolving door. Step out into the sunlight. Behind back. The Co Group's forty-two-story building cast a giant shadow. But I never turned back. Because I know. From the moment that signature was put down. The hunt... has officially begun. That building. With the proud man inside. And the woman always holds her head high, arrogant and does not take anyone seriously. No one knows... What the agreement they just held in their hands really means. They think they have won. But from the moment I signed it down. The new chess game officially begins. Three days after signing the agreement. Co Canh Tham arranged a group of partners to go to the golf course to play. He was in an extremely good mood. Divorce neatly. The ex-wife left empty-handed. No crying. Do not disturb. No fighting over property. New people have moved in. Everything was going so smoothly that he felt like life had never gone so smoothly. Day four. A small thing happened. Co Group's largest material supplier - Hong Dat Construction Materials Company - called. The reason is very simple:

“This quarter's supply contract needs to be reevaluated.”

Co Canh Tham didn't care. He assigned it to the Purchasing Department to handle. Thursday. The second supplier called. Still the same saying:

“Need to re-evaluate the contract.”

Friday. Project to renovate the southern citadel, phase two. Just won the bid less than two months ago. The investor suddenly sent an official dispatch.

“Some terms of cooperation need to be discussed further.”

At the same time, he made an appointment with Co Canh Tham to meet him next week. In the office. Co Canh Tham rotated the pen in his hand a few times. Finally, he frowned slightly.

“Something isn't right.”
