Chapter 7 — When Lawyers Are Betrayed

"Some personal issues happened, I need to evaluate how it affects work." Ms. Truong was silent for a few seconds. "Lawyer To, can you reveal what it was?" "Adultery. The subject is a young yoga instructor." "What?!" – Ms. Truong's voice was full of surprise – "Are you sure?" "Sure, I have proof." "This... is really a big problem. Our industry values reputation and image very much. If this gets out, his career will be severely affected." "I know. Ms. Truong, can you help me skillfully spread this news in the world?" "But... is it okay to do that?" "Sister Truong, Giang Hao is my husband." On the other side of the phone a ringing rang. a sharp intake of breath full of surprise. "Lawyer To, I... I don't know what to say." "No need to say anything, just help me spread the news. I believe the story will quickly reach his company's ears." "Understood. Lawyer To... try to keep your strength." "Thank you." Hang up the phone, I know Giang Hao will soon have trouble at work. The investment industry says big is not big, says small is not small, but rumors spread very quickly. I guess in less than three days, his affair story will spread throughout the industry. Next step: Let Bach Nguyet know the truth. I don't intend to continue chatting via WeChat – it's too slow. I wanted a more direct approach. I decided to go to the yoga room to find her. Thursday afternoon, I went to Yoga Retreat. This time, I didn't disguise myself - I appeared proudly as To Can. "Hello, may I ask if coach Bach Nguyet is here?" – I asked the receptionist. "Yes, she just finished teaching and is in the break room. May I ask who you are...?" "I'm To Can, want to talk to her a bit." "Yes, let me call." Soon, Bach Nguyet walked out of the break room. She looked a bit tired, but still very beautiful. "May I ask why you came to me?" "I'm To Can. I want to talk to you about Giang Hao." Bach Nguyet's face immediately changed. "You... who are you?" "I'm Giang Hao's wife." Bach Nguyet took a step back, her face pale. "No... impossible, Giang Hao told me he's single." "Single?" – I laughed coldly, took out my phone – "This is our marriage certificate." I showed Bach Nguyet a photo of the marriage certificate, along with a wedding photo of me and Giang Hao. Looking at those photos, the light of hope in her eyes gradually faded. "And here." – I continued to show her Giang Hao's credit card statement – "The money to buy gifts for you is all my husband and I's common property." Bach Nguyet trembled as she took the phone and looked intently at the transactions. She recognized a few items - they were indeed gifts Giang Hao once gave her. "No... it's impossible..." - Bach Nguyet shook her head, tears began to well up. "Bach Nguyet, I know you could also be a victim." – my voice softened a bit – "But now that you know the truth, what are you going to do?" Bach Nguyet completely collapsed, sitting on the ground, sobbing. "I... I didn't know he had a wife... He never told me..." Looking at her crying, my anger subsided somewhat. She was indeed deceived by Giang Hao. But that doesn't erase the fact that she ruined my marriage. "Bach Nguyet, crying is useless. The important thing is what to do next." "... I will break up with him." – she raised her head, her red eyes filled with indignation – "I will break up!" "Good. That's a wise choice." "But... but how do I face this? I feel like I just did something terrible..." "You did do something wrong, but the main responsibility lies with Giang Hao. He deliberately deceived you." Bach Nguyet burst into tears again. I sat down next to her. "Bach Nguyet, I have a proposal." "What proposal?" "Come with me to deal with Giang Hao." She looked up.

me, my eyes full of doubt. "What do you mean?" "Jiang Hao has hurt both of us. We should let him pay." "But... how?" "First of all, you should break up with him. But don't say it's because you know he's married." "So what's the reason?" "Say that you feel like he's not been good to you lately, and you suspect he has another woman out there." Bach Nguyet frowned. "That's helpful." "Then he will think that you are suspicious, and still think that you are in control of the situation." "And then?" "Then, at the appropriate time, we will reveal his true face in front of everyone. Let him lose all face." Bach Nguyet pondered for a moment. "I... need time to think." "Okay, but not for too long. The longer it lasts, the more disadvantageous it will be for us." I gave her my phone number. "When Once you decide, contact me. Remember, Giang Hao is our common enemy."
