He had been dragged into a perfect trap, a trap that had been set for more than thirty years. Kwan felt as if the world was crumbling beneath his feet. He stared at the papers on the board, the papers that he had signed, without knowing that they were the trap that Mrs. Than had set up long ago.
He clenched his fists, his voice trembling with anger. She lied to me. Mrs. Than calmly sat down on the chair, took a sip of tea, and looked at him coldly.
No, I didn’t lie to you. I made it very clear from the beginning. You agreed to it yourself, signed all those papers without checking.
I didn’t force you. Kwan felt cold all over. Yes, he had signed it without looking at it.
He had thrown himself into her trap. Kwan gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to ask. So all of this was just to take revenge on my father? You married me just to make me suffer the consequences.
And for him, Mrs. Than smiled faintly and put her teacup down on the table. Not only that I want you to feel what I went through, I want you to understand what it means to lose an eye, what it means to be betrayed, what it means to be cornered with no one to help. Your father promised to cooperate in business with me and my husband, but then he burned all my family’s assets, leaving us penniless.
My husband committed suicide out of anger, and my son left the country with no news of him. I went from being a woman who had everything to suddenly losing everything. Mrs. Than narrowed her eyes, her voice low and full of resentment.
I have lived with that hatred for more than thirty years, and now I want your father to throw that feeling away through his only son. Those words were like a knife stabbing into the soldier’s heart. He clenched his fists.
It turned out that he was just a pawn in this revenge. Kwan trembled as he looked back at the papers on the table. He read each line carefully, and the feeling of despair rose in his heart.
The debt amounted to billions of dong. He was speechless. Madam, are you really going to make me shoulder all this debt? She shrugged.
I didn’t force you to do anything. It’s in black and white you signed it. Now you can only blame yourself.
Kwan sat down in despair. He remembered the days of poverty. He remembered his dream of changing his life.
Remember the hope when you signed. This marriage. And now it’s all just a nightmare.
You can take all my assets, but I won’t let you ruin my life. The army was near. Mrs. Than laughed.
You think I need your property? I have everything I want. Now just seeing you suffer like I did. I’m satisfied.
That sentence made Kwan want to go crazy. He knew he couldn’t continue like this. He needed to find a way out of this trap.
In the dark of night, Kwan quietly left the villa. He couldn’t just sit there and wait to be destroyed. He had to find a way to prove that Mrs. Than had illegally set him up.
The key point was whether the papers he had signed were legal. He remembered Luan a friend of his who studied law. If anyone could help him find the rightful owner in this matter, it was Luan.
Kwan immediately went to Luan’s law office. Luan frowned as he told him everything, then spoke slowly. Sounds like you really fell for her trap.
But first, do you remember anything unusual about the papers you signed? Kwan thought silently, then suddenly remembered. That’s right. Some of the papers showed signs of alteration.
When I signed, there were terms that were not mentioned at all. Luan nodded. That’s the key point.
If you have proof that she changed the contents of the document after you signed it, then you can sue her for fraud. But how can I find the proof, Luan thought for a moment, then said, can you check the surveillance cameras in the villa? If there is a recording of when you signed the document, we can compare it with the current content. Kwan understood that this was his only chance to save Li himself.
That night, he returned to the villa. The house was quiet. Kwan quietly entered Ms. Tan’s office where the computer system stored the camera data.
His hands shook as he opened, the hard drive his heart pounding. He had only one chance to get the evidence. After a while of searching, he found a video recording of himself signing the papers.
He opened the video and the horrifying truth appeared before his eyes. After the soldier signed the papers, Mrs. Tan quietly took out another set of papers to replace the one he had just signed. She was the one who had stolen the papers.
Kwan could not believe his eyes. His hand gripped the mouse tightly, his heart pounding. Just then a cold voice sounded behind him.
I knew you would do this. Pants jerked. Mrs. Tan stood at the door, her eyes cold, her face expressionless.
He tried to stay calm, his voice firm. She had lied to me. I have the evidence in my hand.
You can’t hide from this truth. Mrs. Tan looked at him for a long time. She laughed.
You think you can get rid of me that easily? Those words made Kwan use himself. Mrs. Tan was not afraid at all. On the contrary, she seemed to have prepared for this situation for a long time.
Kwan began to realize that things were not over here. This was only the beginning of a fierce confrontation. The atmosphere in Mrs. Tan’s office became stifling and frightening.
Kwan stood still, his eyes still fixed on the computer screen where the video of Mrs. Tan exchanging the documents, right after he signed, was displayed. Mrs. Tan stood behind him, her eyes cold and calculating. Do you think you can turn the situation around with just this video? She spoke calmly, but there was a clear threat.
She buttoned her pants hoarsely, trying to stay calm. With such clear evidence, do you think I will let it be whether you let it? Be or not is up to you, but remember you are on my territory. Mrs. Tan chuckled.
The army used me. That’s right. This was still her home, and he was all alone.
He needed to leave immediately. Take this video with you before it’s too late. Kwan immediately pulled the USB out of the computer.
He was about to turn around and run away when bang! A hand squeezed his arm. It was Mrs. Tan. She held him tight.
Her eyes were full of power. I advise you not to be foolish. If you walk out of here with that video, I guarantee you won’t.
Be able to escape again. Kwan clenched his fists, trying to force himself out. She couldn’t stop me, but at that moment a figure appeared at the door.
It was Mrs. Tan’s two bodyguards. Kwan was stunned. He didn’t expect her to have everything ready like that.
Hold him back, Mrs. Tan ordered. The two bodyguards rushed towards him. There was no other way.
Kwan stood up, shook off Mrs. Tan’s hand, and ran straight to the window. Damn he rushed out of the room, jumped over the second-floor balcony, fell to the grass below. His head was in excruciating pain, but he couldn’t stop.
Behind him Mrs. Tan shouted, catching him immediately. Two bodyguards rushed down the stairs, chasing him. Kwan ran headlong towards the villa gate, only a few meters away.
Powder of strong force hit him on the shoulder. Kwan lost his balance and fell to the ground. One of the two bodyguards caught up, grabbed his collar, and pulled him back.
Do you think you can escape from here? The guard was near. Kwan struggled trying to get out, but at that moment stopped a voice rang out, all of them matched. Kwan looked up and saw Luan, his lawyer friend, standing right outside the villa gate, along with the police.
Mrs. Tan appeared on the second-floor desk, looking down at the police, her face showing confusion. A policeman stepped forward, flashing his badge. Mrs. Tan, we have a warrant to search your villa.
We have received evidence of your fraud and deceit. Mrs. Tan turned pale. Luan walked over to Kwan and helped him up.
I knew she wouldn’t leave. You alone, so I called the police before you got here, and guess what the police found fake documents in her financial records. Kwan was happy, but still in disbelief.
He looked at the police. So will she be arrested. The police officer nodded.
The evidence was too clear. Not only was there fraud in the marriage contract, but there were also signs of money laundering. We will investigate further.
Mrs. Tan stood on the work desk, her hands gripping the railing. You can’t do this to me. I spent my whole life building this business.
