Chapter 2 — Unlock Message 8.72 Billion After Divorce

I never looked back. As soon as I walked out of the sales center, a black Maybach was parked outside. The car door opens. A man wearing a black suit stepped down and bowed extremely respectfully.

"Miss To, the boss told me to come pick you up and take you to the To family."

I got in the car. The Maybach quietly left Phi Thuy Loan. Through the rearview mirror, I saw Luc Vien Chau chasing after me. He stood dumbfounded in front of the sales center door, looking like he had just been slapped by someone. Lam Uyen Nhi helped Tien Tu Phuong and also ran out. The three people stood stunned, watching the Maybach disappear, no one could say a word. Inside the car, my phone rang. The screen displays two words: Co Thua Trach. I picked up the phone.

"Is it all done?" A calm voice rang out from the other end of the line.

"Done."

"The loan guarantees, supply chains and relationships with government projects that Luc Thi is relying on are all in my name. From the moment I signed the divorce papers, all of them automatically lapsed. No need for you to act, in three days at most, the bank will send him a debt collection note."

I leaned back in the chair and slowly closed my eyes.

"It's been three years."

"Is it worth it?" Co Thua Trach asked softly.

I don't answer. The Maybach glided through the busiest commercial district of Giang Thanh. Glass buildings reflect bright sunlight. More than half of the office buildings in this city bear the name To Thi Group. But To Thi... is the business that my grandfather single-handedly built. Three years ago, when I insisted on marrying into the Luc family, he was so angry that he had to be hospitalized, and even scolded me for being blind. Three years later, I understand... What you said was not wrong. The Maybach stopped in front of the To family's mansion gate. Butler Chu had been waiting early.

"Miss, the master is waiting for you in the study."

I nodded slightly and walked in. The To family's mansion is more than 2,000 m² wide, designed in the style of a Chinese garden, with rockery, lake and pavilions in harmony like a painting. Compared to the Luc family's 120 m² three-bedroom apartment... Those are two completely different worlds. The study door opened. Grandfather was sitting on a purple wooden chair, holding a purple teapot in his hand. As soon as he saw me, he put down his teacup.

"Finally willing to go home?"

"Divorced already?"

He snorted coldly.

"Good! In the past, I lived and died to marry that guy named Luc. What did you say? The type of person who shouldn't be close will never be close. Luc Thi Construction Materials Company has survived until today thanks to To Thi's orders. And yet she still dares to keep a lover? She has really big guts."

I stood in the middle of the study room. Three years without returning... Everything remains the same. There are still photos of my childhood hanging on the wall. Seven years old won the Gold Medal in the piano competition. At the age of twelve, he went to England to study. At the age of eighteen, he received a letter announcing his admission to Cambridge University. Who would have thought that a girl like me who once stood at the top would choose to marry the son of a construction materials company owner.

"I want to return to the company."

He looked at me for a long moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Thinking clearly?"

"To Thi Group currently has a market value of 40 billion yuan, operating in three major fields: real estate, finance and technology. Which field do you want to manage?"

He paused for exactly one second. Then burst into laughter. The laughter was so loud that even the price was high The book is full of ancient books and it seems to vibrate.

"Good! This spirit is exactly the same as your father and son in the past! Tomorrow at the Board of Directors meeting, he will personally announce it."

Having finished speaking, he took another sip of tea.

"Ah yes."

"And Luc Vien Chau... how do you plan to handle it?"

"No rush."

"Just let him panic for a few more days."

He looked deeply into my eyes, then slowly nodded.

"Your granddaughter... has finally grown up."

That night, I stayed at the To family's mansion. The room remains the same as three years ago. The maid cleans every day. In the wardrobe are the season's latest collections, all from the world's leading luxury brands. Tien Tu Phuong once laughed at me for not knowing how to dress, saying I was only suitable for wearing market clothes. She doesn't know... Just one coat in my closet is enough to buy 100 of the fake "Chanel" outfits she's wearing. The phone vibrated again. Luc Vien Chau texted continuously.

"To Niem, what happened to my account?"

"What the hell did you do?"

"Get on the phone now!"

I turned the phone face down on top of the cabinet and ignored it. Outside the window, the scene of Giang Thanh city at night is as bright as the Milky Way. Three years ago... I gave up everything to marry him, thinking it was love. Three years later... I now understand that there are people who are completely unworthy. The next morning. At exactly 7 o'clock, I woke up like clockwork. I chose a black vest dress from Max Mara, paired with Jimmy Choo pointy heels. Butler Chu has prepared breakfast.

"Miss, the car is waiting outside the gate."

"Which car will you use today?"

"The old man said that today is your first day back at the company, so he told the driver to prepare the Rolls-Royce Phantom."

I shook my head.

"Too ostentatious. Just go to Maybach."

Butler Chu smiled.

"Young lady is still as humble as before."

At 8:30 a.m., the Maybach stopped in front of the To Thi Group headquarters building. The 48-story glass building stands tall in the sunlight, reflecting bright yellow streaks of light. As soon as I entered the large lobby, the uniformed receptionist saw me and was stunned.

"Please... may I ask you..."

At that moment, the elevator door opened. A middle-aged man wearing a gray suit walked quickly over. That is Trieu Duc Hai, Deputy General Director of To Thi Group. As soon as he saw me, his expression immediately changed.

"Miss... Miss To?"

"General Manager Trieu, long time no see."

"You... you're back already?"

"Well. I'll have to ask everyone for help later."

Having finished speaking, I went straight to the elevator and pressed the top floor. Trieu Duc Hai stood frozen in place and quickly took out his phone to call.

"Hello, old man Tien? Something big has happened! The eldest lady of the To family is back."

The elevator stopped on the 48th floor. As soon as the door opened, there was the entire working area of the Chairman of the group. Outside the ground-level glass window is a panoramic view of Giang Thanh's skyline. Grandpa was already sitting in the chair. On both sides of the long meeting table are 12 people, all of whom are senior leaders and members of the Board of Directors of To Thi Group. There's someone I know. There have also been a few new faces promoted in the past three years. Their eyes looking at me were filled with scrutiny and suspicion. Grandpa tapped lightly on the table.

"Today I called everyone here just for one thing."

"From today, my niece, To Niem, officially takes on the position of General Director of To Thi Group, Responsible for all daily operations."

The entire meeting room fell silent. A second later...

"President To, is this too sudden?"

The person who spoke up was Liu Kien Quoc, the shareholder representative sitting in position number three.

"Miss To has left the company for three years, I'm afraid she no longer understands the current business situation..."

"She was nineteen years old and interned at the corporation; twenty-two years old and managed the entire technology department."

Grandpa interrupted.

"But three years ago she left..."

"Now it has returned."

His voice was calm but did not allow anyone to object. Liu Kien Quoc was about to continue speaking when Trieu Duc Hai, sitting next to him, gently pulled his sleeve. He had to keep his mouth shut. I stood at the head of the conference table, slowly looking at each person.
