Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

212 Chapter 212

Honestly, she had no emotional bond with Vincent Gray because, to her— he was just a little boy who resumed Mr. Vaughn Gray's work after his death.

But she had a sentimental feeling over this company because she had worked here for decades, so she didn't want to let it be destroyed because Vincent was an unreasonable asshole who would ruin his father's company for a worthless woman.

"Sir, if you want to find your wife and daughter, why don't you report a missing child instead? Tell the police that Chloe is running away after stealing your money, and also say that Chloe took Mackenzie by force."

"—Or you can also go to the school and meet your daughter. You can force her to say where she lives with her mother, then you can drag her back to your mansion," Maria gave out two easiest and more logical ways to find Vincent's daughter and wife.

But Vincent only scoffed at those ideas, "I don't want to draw too much attention from the public. If I use the first method, the news will leak and those pesky reporters will come, and there's a big chance that Chloe and Mackie's face will be leaked to the public."

"And for the second one, I don't want to look pathetic in front of my wife. This is about the pride of a man, I will make sure that she WILL be the one who crawls back to me, begging for me to take her back," Vincent said.

"A woman like you won't understand a man's pride, so just shut up and do what I told you to do— go make a notice for Gregory Maxwell, saying that the contract for the new project has been terminated, that old man will come begging in front of my mansion in less than a day," Vincent instructed.

…

"Understood, Sir," Maria bowed politely. "Then, please excuse me, I need to write and email the formal notice to his company."

"Hm."

Maria turned around and walked away. She looked calm as always. After all, she was a professional senior secretary who had experienced various troubles at work.

But she couldn't help but feel annoyed by Vincent's clouded judgment.

Obviously, Vincent was being unreasonable right now. Instead of going the easy way, he decided to use a dangerous method that might ruin the company's reputation and even the whole Gray Family's reputation just because he wanted to ensure that Chloe crawled back to him like a beggar.

p 'Hmph, I would rather drag that worthless bitch by her hair and throw her to a cage in Vincent's mansion, so Vincent can continue working normally,' Maria cursed while she returned to her desk and started doing what her boss told her to do.

Meanwhile, Vincent busied himself reading a text from his little brother.

Vernon was truly a hard worker. He went so far as to report every progress their small project had accomplished, even though it was unnecessary.

Vincent didn't reply to him most of the time, but he always read the report that Vernon gave just to appreciate the hard work that his little brother showed.

Though he rarely texted, he would call Vernon at least twice a week just to check on him or talk about random stuff since they were still catching up after ten years.

"Just as expected, Vernon is the only one genuine to me," Vincent murmured. He grew up taking care of Vernon because their dysfunctional parents were too busy dealing with their stupid problems.

He knew that Vernon was a little devil who would throw tantrums over the smallest thing and ruin everyone's day just because he could.

But Vincent never really stopped him from doing anything. He adored Vernon so much that he allowed the little devil to wreak havoc everywhere.

"Well, look at him now. He becomes such an amazing young businessman because I raise him right," Vincent claimed.

He also did the same with Mackie. He allowed his little girl to do anything and buy anything she wanted.

However, she didn't grow up to be a little devil like Vernon because Chloe would often reprimand their daughter if Mackie did something that hurt the maids.

"Heh, that bitch doesn't know how parenting works. Obviously, if she keeps stopping our daughter from doing whatever she wants, Mackie will grow up to be a shy girl," Vincent complained.

"I will make sure to educate Mackie after everything returns to normal, she needs to know that she is a Gray, and she can do whatever she wants."

Diamond was sitting on her chair anxiously. She didn't know what her boss would do to her homegirl, and she was just scared that Mr. Phoenix Gray might lose her patience in front of her and end up giving Chloe even more trauma.

'Oh god, please don't let him hurt her, at least not now when Chloe is in such bad shape!' Diamond prayed in her heart. But she knew that was impossible since Vernon was so well known to be a man with an anger issue.

She waited for a while until the door slowly opened from inside, Chloe walked out of Vernon's office, but she didn't seem to be in distress. She looked…

'Fine? Did nothing really happen there? I thought she would come out crying because Vernon screamed in her face until she had a mental breakdown,' Diamond pondered.

Chloe closed the door and stood in front of Diamond with a thin smile, "Diamond, can I get the lunch bag?" Chloe pointed at the lunch bag that Diamond put on a small seat beside hers. "I need to reheat it, Vernon said that he wants to have his lunch now."

Diamond was still confused. She handed the lunch bag to Chloe and watched her homegirl go to the pantry and return with a plate full of food that looked so delicious.

"Diamond, can you help open the door for me, my hands are occupied," Chloe asked, as she held the plate in her right hand, and two small banana milk cartons on her left.

…

"Girl, are you really fine? Do you want me to defend you in front of him?"
