Chapter 8 — When Lawyers Are Betrayed

Leaving the yoga room, I felt the plan was progressing smoothly. Bach Nguyet knew the truth, and her anger at Giang Hao was real. As long as she cooperates, Giang Hao will soon taste betrayal. That night, Giang Hao came home in a seemingly good mood. "Wife, I'm home." – while changing his shoes, he said – “Today the project at the company is progressing very smoothly.” “That's good.” – I didn't raise my head, continuing to look at the legal documents. "What are you looking at?" – Giang Hao stepped closer, intending to look at the file in my hand. "Information about a divorce case." – I replied lightly. Giang Hao's movements paused slightly. "Is it another divorce case? Why do your offices have so many of these types of cases?" "Nowadays the divorce rate is high." – I looked up at him – “Especially divorce due to adultery, accounts for a very large percentage.” “… Adultery…” – Giang Hao's voice sounded a bit forced. “That's right, in this case the husband had an affair with a young girl.” - I deliberately said it in detail - "The husband thought he was keeping it a secret, but who would have thought that the wife would have found out early and collected all the evidence." Giang Hao's face started to turn pale. "So... what does the wife plan to do?" "Of course, divorce. And make the husband leave empty-handed." – I laughed coldly – "Men who betray their marriage must pay the price." Giang Hao swallowed his saliva. "Is... is it successful?" "Of course. The evidence is clear, the husband has no chance of winning. And once this matter goes to court, his reputation is considered ruined." - I closed the file - "If his reputation is lost, who still wants to do business with him? Who still wants to socialize?" I stood up and said as I walked to the kitchen: "That kind of person deserves to be turned away by the whole world." Giang Hao sat blankly on the sofa, unable to say a word. And I, in the kitchen, laughed softly. It's good to scare him a little, so he knows what fear is. At that time, my phone rang - it was Bach Nguyet calling. "Lawyer To, I've finished thinking." "What's the decision?" "I agree to cooperate with you." – her voice was firm – "Jiang Hao lied to both of us. He must pay the price." "Good. Then let's meet tomorrow, discuss the details of the plan." "Yes." "Remember, before then, don't let Giang Hao suspect anything." "I understand." Hanging up the phone, my mood was extremely refreshing. With Bach Nguyet's cooperation, my revenge plan can enter a new phase. The next afternoon, Bach Nguyet and I met at a coffee shop. She looked much more haggard, her eye bags were a bit swollen - she must have cried for a long time last night. "How are you feeling?" – I asked. “Very bad.” – her voice choked – “I thought I had met true love, who would have thought…” “It's not my fault, it's Giang Hao's fault.” – I consoled – “Now the important thing is to make him pay.” “What plan do you have?” I took out a file. “First of all, you still have to keep in touch with him, but your attitude must change.” “What do you mean?” “Appear a little cold, a little suspicious. For example, ask why he's always busy, why can't he take you home…” Bach Nguyet nodded. “And then?” “Then, next Saturday, I will arrange a special meeting." "What's the meeting like?" I told Bach Nguyet the entire plan. Next Saturday is Giang Hao company's annual party, with many colleagues and customers attending. I will appear as his wife. And Bach Nguyet will appear as... his girlfriend. When those two identities collide, all of Giang Hao's lies will be revealed. And it will happen in front of all his colleagues and customers. “Is that… too much?” – Bach Nguyet was a little worried. "Too much?" – I laughed coldly – “When he betrayed his marriage, did he think of anything too extreme?” “But… that would also make me lose face.” “Losing face for a moment in exchange for liberation

completely." – I said – "Moreover, then everyone will know that I am also a victim." Bach Nguyet pondered for a moment. "Okay... I agree." "Good. Now let's try out the specific process." We sat at the coffee shop for two hours, carefully discussing every detail. Although Bach Nguyet was a bit nervous, she coordinated very well. It could be seen that she was really hurt by Giang Hao and really wanted revenge. "There's one more thing." – before leaving I said – “In the next few days, if Giang Hao asks, you have to act natural.” “I know, I will pay attention.” “If he mentions the annual party on Saturday, just say I'm busy that day and can't go with him.” “Why?” “Because I want to create a surprise.” – I smiled – “Leaving him completely unprepared to face everything.” Bach Nguyet nodded, her eyes flashing with the light of revenge. Leaving the cafe, I felt like everything was going according to plan. Giang Hao is about to learn what it means to betray a lawyer. And I would watch his world crumble with my own eyes. Saturday's annual party took place on time. Giang Hao left the house early, saying he was going to the company to help prepare the hall.
