Chapter 14 — Three Years of Patience, One Day of Flipping the Cards

He turned his head to look at the legal advisor sitting in the far corner. The other person was looking down at his phone. Face pale.

“The focus of the restructuring plan is...”

The old man spoke slowly.

“Cam Huy Investment officially acquired sixty-two percent of the shares of Co Group.”

“From today onwards.”

“The actual control of the Co...”

“Belongs to Cam Huy Investment.”

The whole hall exploded. Someone stood up. Some people's eyes widened and their mouths opened. Some people whispered to each other. But the quietest person... was Co Canh Tham. He sat motionless in the chair. Like someone nailed it down.

“No way…”

His lips trembled.

“What do you mean?”

Old man Co did not look at him. His eyes were old but sharp. Slowly head towards the side door of the hall.

“Next up…”

“Please invite the new Chairman of the Board of Directors to speak.”

The side door opens. The sound of high heels tapping on the marble floor echoed clearly in the quiet hall. A woman entered. Simple black vest. Hair tied back in a bun. Don't wear any fancy jewelry. Except... The blue jade ring on the ring finger of my right hand. Glows a gentle light under the lamp. It's Tham Niem Khanh. I walked onto the stage. Facing more than three hundred eyes. His gaze slowly swept across the hall. Passing by Tien My Hoa was dumbfounded. Passing by To Uyen Ninh with her mouth open until stiff. Stopped on Co Canh Tham's body. He finally stood up. The back seat was pushed and slid a long way.

“Tham... Niem Khanh?”

His voice was hoarse. Like something was stuck in my throat.

“Why are you here?”

I stepped in front of the microphone. The lights of the hall shine down. Three hundred eyes turned towards me.

“Good evening everyone.”

“I am Tham Niem Khanh.”

“Actual Controller of Cam Huy Investment.”

“From today onwards…”

“I will take on the position of new Chairman of the Board of Directors of Co Group.”

I stopped for a beat. Let that sentence have enough time to echo in the minds of the three hundred people present.

“About the future development orientation and personnel adjustments of the group.”

“The company will send an official announcement tomorrow.”

“Everyone feel free to party today.”

I put the microphone back on the stand. The entire hall did not have a single round of applause. Only silence remained. Heavy on everyone. Co Canh Tham suddenly rushed out of his seat. Through the crowd. Go straight to the front of the stage. His face was as white as paper.

“No way!”

“My family is bankrupt!”

“I have nothing left!”

“I still left empty-handed!”

His voice grew louder and louder.

“Where will you get the money to buy my company?”

“Tham Niem Khanh!”

“You answer me!”

I stand on stage. Bow your head to look at him. First time. I looked down from above at the man who had been looking down at me for three years.

“Co Canh Tham.”

My voice is not loud. But the hall's sound system transmits every word to every corner.

“From start to finish.”

“You misunderstood something.”

“The Tham family…”

“Until now, we have never gone bankrupt.”

Co Canh Tham took a step back. There was a look of horror in his eyes. I tilted my head slightly. The corners of the lips curled up gently.

“The so-called entire assets in the divorce agreement…”

“Just something I think has value.”

"Older brother get a shell.”

“And the things that are really worth the money…”

“From beginning to end, it's all in a place you can't see.”

“And still be there.”

“No way…”

Co Canh Tham's lips trembled.

“No way…”

To Uyen Ninh finally reacted. She stepped on her high heels. Panicked, he ran to Co Canh Tham's side. Grabbed his arm tightly.

“Canh Tham!”

“What is this?”

“She's lying, right?”

“She's just a poor woman, right?”

“You say it!”

“You say she's lying!”

But Co Canh Tham did not answer. He just looked at me. Stare. Red blood gradually appeared in his eyes. Like going crazy.

“You plan on me.”

He gritted his teeth. One by one each word burst out of his teeth. I shook my head.

“I gave you a chance.”

“Every step.”

“You all have a chance to turn around.”

“It was you who chose to come to this day.”

I walked down the stage. When passing by him. I stopped.

“Ah yes.”

“And you let someone beat my father.”

I leaned slightly. Lower your voice. Just loud enough for him to hear.

“My father is Tham Hac Nien.”

“Maybe you don't remember this name.”

“Founder of Cam Huy Group.”

“The real investor of Hoa Thanh Center.”

“Richest person in the city for nine years in a row.”

“Those names…”

“Are you sure you've heard it before?”
