Chapter 17 — You Lost Me In The Paris Snow Season

When the video verification call from the notary office came, I had just changed my clothes and was preparing to go to the exhibition hall. On the screen, the notary had an extremely cautious attitude: "Miss Tham, your parents have just submitted a power of attorney. Is this your personal wish?" I looked straight into the camera: "No." The employee's face immediately became serious: "Do you confirm that you have not authorized anyone to withdraw the lawsuit or conduct mediation on your behalf?"

“I confirm.” I said loudly, "The signature on the power of attorney is not mine. Neither are the fingerprints."

From outside the camera's hidden corner, my mother's panicked voice rang out: "Tri Y, don't make a fuss in front of outsiders. We only want the best for you." I didn't even look at her, just said to the notary: "Please keep the scene and all documents intact. My lawyer is on the way. At the same time, I have also called the police." My mother's face immediately entered the frame, her red eyes streaked with excitement: "Tham Tri Y! Do you really want to send your biological parents to jail?" I looked at her: "It wasn't me who sent her away. It was my parents who walked in there with the fake authorization paper." My father, standing next to me, roared: "We are your biological parents! What's the point of signing a word for you?" I still kept a calm tone: "Sign on my behalf to withdraw the lawsuit, helping Manh Nha clear the debt of more than three million yuan. Do you think that's simply 'signing a word'?" My father's face was so choked that it turned red. The notary staff signaled the security guard to block off the scene. Manh Nha sat in the back, wearing a mask and covering her belly with a jacket. At first, she intended to play the role of a weak person, but seeing that the situation was not good, she immediately stood up and tried to run away. But Duong Tranh arrived earlier than lawyer Luong. He pushed the door open and stepped in, blocking the path: "Miss Manh, are you planning to run away so early?" Manh Nha's eyes were evasive: "I don't feel well." Duong Tranh glanced at the file bag in her hand: "When he falsified the power of attorney, he was so strong." Manh Nha gritted her teeth: "I'm not pretending. Tham Tri Y's parents volunteered to help her reconcile." Duong Tranh laughed: "Who prepared the power of attorney?" Manh Nha was speechless. Lawyer Luong followed closely behind and entered. Without wasting any more words, he immediately submitted all documents to the notary: "This is the passport information, electronic signature sample, and the latest video statement of the owner, Ms. Tham. The signature on the power of attorney clearly does not match. At the same time, we request to extract the surveillance camera and recording at the scene of the notary office." At this point, my father really panicked: "We don't intend to break the law. We just want to stop him from making a big deal out of it." I looked at him through the video screen: "Dad, I gave you a chance. When we were talking on the phone just now, you only said one sentence because Manh Nha forced me, I would not have taken this last step. But you cursed me for being unfilial, and then tried to use my name to fill her hole." My father's lips moved, unable to squeeze out even half a word. My mother burst into tears: "We're just afraid that after you get divorced, you won't have anyone to support you." My voice was cold: "The biggest storm in my life has never been divorce. It's been from people who always use the name of 'wanting to be good'. for me'.” Manh Nha suddenly hugged her stomach: "I'm in so much pain. I have to go to the hospital.” She has used this trick over and over again. The notary did not fall into the trap: "Miss Manh, if you feel unwell, we can call an ambulance for you. But documents at the scene must be registered and sealed first.” The bottom of Manh Nha's eyes finally showed horror. She wanted to call Ha Thua Chu, but as soon as the phone rang, it hung up. She called Ha's mother again. This time the phone didn't even ring, her number was blacklisted. I watched the expression on her face change continuously. This is the "support" that she wasted her time trying to steal. When the weather is calm and the sea is calm, everyone competes for protection. When something happens, everyone runs faster than a rabbit. The incident at the notary office was quickly transmitted to the hospital. After Ha Thua Chu heard, his face was as pale as a dead person. Duong Tranh later recounted that at that time, Ha Thua Chu was sitting on the hospital bed and could only utter one sentence for a long time:

“Do her parents also treat her like that?”

Duong Tranh replied bluntly: "Didn't you know a long time ago? In the past, they advised her to give up the project, advised her to have an abortion, and advised her to take care of your mother. You are the one who benefits from all of that.” Ha Thua Chu remained silent and did not say another word. That evening, the divorce agreement with his signature was sent to lawyer Luong. The division of assets is no longer subject to any bargaining. Compensation for mental damages is also clearly stated in the appendix according to my request. Ha Thua Chu only attached an additional page of handwritten letter at the end. Lawyer Luong asked me: "Do you still store it?" I replied: “Save it. My life is not a trash can. There is no need to accept his regret.” As soon as I ended the call, my mother called again. This time, her voice was completely weak: “Tri Y, you were wrong. Please don't take back the house." I looked at the lights gradually brightening in the exhibition room: "We have to move out before the end of the month." I will ask the apartment management board to accept the handover.” My mother cried and screamed: "Your little brother doesn't have a job yet. Your father's health is also not good." I coldly said: “Then go find Manh Nha. She didn't promise to give her parents 500,000 yuan?" On the other end of the line, there was only a choking sound of breathing. I turned off the computer. A few seconds later, Duong Tranh texted: "Manh Nha just walked out of the notary office when a man blocked her way. That guy said the baby was his. She also said that she doesn't only owe money to He Thua Chu."
