PART 2: THE BILLION-YUAN WITHDRAWAL THAT DESTROYED HIS FUTURE

The divorce papers fell to the floor.

The entire auditorium was silent.

Nobody expected it.

Especially not Chu Van Ban.

He stared at the document as if he had never seen those words before.

【Divorce Application】

His face slowly changed.

From anger.

To disbelief.

Then panic.

“To Van…”

His voice lowered.

“You are really doing this?”

I looked at him calmly.

The same man who, just minutes ago, threatened me with divorce to protect another woman.

The same man who forgot that I was the person standing beside him when he had nothing.

The same man who now believed I would continue accepting humiliation because I was his wife.

I smiled.

“Didn’t you say it yourself?”

“If I fight back, we divorce.”

“Now I’m just fulfilling your wish.”

Chu Van Ban’s expression became ugly.

“You’re using this situation to threaten me?”

I looked at him.

“Threaten you?”

I laughed softly.

“No.”

“I’m finally giving you freedom.”

Behind him, Giang Tuyet was still sitting on the floor, holding her stomach.

She looked at me with hatred.

“You can’t do this.”

Her voice trembled.

“Mr. Chu loves me.”

“He will never leave me for someone like you.”

Someone like me.

That sentence made everyone look at me again.

For three years, everyone believed I was just Chu Van Ban’s ordinary wife.

A woman without background.

A woman who was lucky enough to marry a successful man.

Nobody knew…

The reason Chu Van Ban was standing on that stage today was because of me.

I was the person who signed the first investment agreement.

The person who introduced him to his biggest clients.

The person who secretly solved every crisis behind him.

But I never told anyone.

Because I wanted to know one thing.

If I removed everything I gave him…

Would he still choose me?

Now I had my answer.

The answer was clear.

A staff member suddenly ran into the hall.

“Director To!”

Everyone turned around.

The employee looked nervous when he saw the atmosphere.

But he still walked toward me.

“Sorry for interrupting.”

“The approval documents for the North Star Project have arrived.”

He handed me a folder.

Then he looked at Chu Van Ban.

“Director Chu, the cooperation meeting tomorrow…”

He stopped.

Because he finally noticed the divorce papers.

The entire room became even more confused.

“Director To?”

Someone whispered.

“Why did he call her Director?”

I opened the folder.

Inside was the final contract.

The North Star Project.

Investment value:

10,000,000,000 yuan.

A project that Chu Van Ban had spent months trying to obtain.

The project that would make him a true executive.

The project that everyone believed came from his own ability.

But the final approval belonged to my company.

My signature.

My decision.

I closed the folder.

Then I looked at my assistant.

“Cancel the cooperation.”

The assistant nodded immediately.

“Understood.”

The room exploded.

“What?”

“Cancel?”

“That’s a ten-billion-yuan project!”

Chu Van Ban’s face turned completely pale.

He finally understood.

“Wait.”

His voice changed.

“To Van…”

I looked at him.

“What?”

“You can’t do this.”

“Why not?”

“Because this project belongs to the company.”

I smiled.

“Exactly.”

“That’s why I can decide.”

His lips moved.

But no words came out.

For years, he thought I was only the woman standing behind him.

He forgot that I was the person standing above him.

Giang Tuyet suddenly stood up.

Her previous arrogance disappeared.

“Mr. Chu…”

“Didn’t you say you would give me and the baby a future?”

Chu Van Ban looked at her.

Then at me.

For the first time…

He looked trapped.

I walked closer.

“Chu Van Ban.”

“Do you remember three years ago?”

“When you had nothing, you told me…”

“I will never betray the woman who believed in me.”

His face turned stiff.

Because he remembered.

I continued:

“I believed you.”

“But you proved that you only loved the person who could help you climb higher.”

The entire hall was quiet.

Then I turned around.

“From today.”

“You are no longer my husband.”

“And you are no longer the person representing my company.”

I took my phone.

Sent one message.

“Begin the audit.”

Five seconds later, my assistant’s phone rang.

He answered.

Then his expression changed.

“Director To…”

“The finance department found irregular transfers.”

“Several payments were made to an account under Miss Jiang Tuyet’s name.”

The room became silent again.

Chu Van Ban’s eyes widened.

“No.”

“That’s impossible.”

I looked at him.

“Impossible?”

“The company money you used to support your lover.”

“The luxury apartment.”

“The jewelry.”

“The private trips.”

“You thought nobody knew?”

His face lost all color.

Because he finally understood.

The woman he thought he had deceived…

Had been watching everything.

The assistant lowered his voice.

“Director To, should we report this immediately?”

I looked at Chu Van Ban.

The man who once promised to protect me.

The man who just threatened to destroy our marriage in front of everyone.

Then I answered:

“Yes.”

“Handle it according to the law.”

Chu Van Ban suddenly struggled against the bodyguards.

“To Van!”

“Don’t do this!”

“Think about our years together!”

I stopped.

Then looked back.

“Our years together?”

I smiled.

“Chu Van Ban.”

“The only person who remembers those years…”

“Was me.”

I walked out of the auditorium.

Behind me, I could still hear his desperate voice.

But I didn’t turn around.

Because that night, everyone finally knew the truth.

I was never the woman standing behind Chu Van Ban.

He was only the man who stood on my shoulders…

And forgot who carried him there.
