Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

72 Chapter 72

"I—I'm not cheating! Mom, I didn't cheat at all! He is!" Chloe got a shot of courage when her mother called her an adulterer. But what she got was…

SLAP!

Chloe was stunned when she felt the sharp pain on her cheek. She covered her cheek that was throbbing in pain with her palm and stared at her mother with eyes glazing with tears.

She never expected to get a slap from her mother. She was always a good daughter since she was a child. She knew her mother's struggle. Thus, she tried her best not to make her mother's life even more difficult.

But now…

"I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO SLAP YOU!" Judith yelled as she grabbed cupped and clenched her hands together. "GOD HAVE MERCY ON ME TO HAVE A WHORE DAUGHTER LIKE YOU!"

Judith's chest was undulating, rising up and down as she tried her best to hold her rage. She got even more disgusted when she saw Chloe crying.

"Why are you crying? Don't act like you're the victim when you're the adulterer!"

"Mom, what did Vincent say to you?" Chloe asked. She already knew that everything stemmed from that bastard.

"He told me everything, Chloe. He told me he found out about you cheating with so many people about two weeks ago. He tried to be a good husband by confronting you carefully, even wanting to start anew between the two of you," Judith remembered Vincent's expression as he told everything that happened between him and Chloe. Never in a million years, she would expect his filial son-in-law— who was also a billionaire to show such weakness in front of her.

"But you don't want it! You refused to reconcile, even filing for divorce to get his money from the divorce settlement! Oh my dearest God, what did I do wrong to raise this kind of woman as my daughter?!"

"That's— That's a lie!" Chloe retorted. She didn't want to be the one who always is in the wrong here. She never cheated, nor did she ever hurt that bastard.

,m "I never cheated! And I already told him I don't need his money, so he'd leave me alone!" Chloe said desperately. "Mom, you have to believe me! You're my mother. Why would I lie to you!?"

She thought her mother's heart would soften as she told the truth.

But it was far from that.

Her mother only stared at her coldly and said, "Do you really expect me to believe that?"

"How— How am I suppose to make you believe me!?"

"Fine, if you want to make me believe in you, then can you tell me why you refused to go on marriage counseling with Vincent?" Judith asked.

"T—That—" Chloe wasn't sure if she had to answer this in the truest way possible. Surely, Vincent twisted the fact to make himself a victim, right?

"I—I don't want to reconcile! I just want a divorce from that cheating bastard!"

Judith's expression changed, but not for the better. Her lips trembled, and she sat on her bed. Judith covered her eyes with her palms and started sobbing.

"M—Mom?"

"Why are you doing this, Chloe? I trusted you to have a life that I don't have. Vincent is a good husband. Why would you betray him?!"

"Vincent told me the whole thing. He came and cried here, right on the chair you sit on. He told me that you're cheating so many times that you filed a divorce after you got caught red-handed."

"He also begged you to start anew, and when you refused, he begged you to go on marriage counseling. But you refused…." Judith continued sobbing, and from her sobs, the tears started streaming down her cheek and fell on her long skirt.

"Mom, it's him who cheats! He has a lot of women outside, and he doesn't even try to hide it!" Chloe insisted. This was the real truth because she was the one who knew everything— she experienced it firsthand.

"Oh my dear, I can't believe that, Chloe…."

"Why not?! I'm your daughter! You should trust me instead!"

"Because you're obviously lying, Chloe," Judith replied. "If he is the one who cheated, then why did I never see any news of it on the TV? He is famous, right? I remember that he always announced on the TV that he was married and had a daughter at home. He is a loving father!"

"If he was the one who cheated, then why won't you go to marriage counseling? Chloe, your father and I were divorced because he cheated on me so many times, not once or twice. I forgave him three times before I decided to end it all."

"But Vincent… you're the one who loves him, and you have a daughter with him. Are you telling me that you refused to go on marriage counseling if he is the one who cheated?"

"He told me that he doesn't want a divorce, not because of money, but because he still loves you! How could you— How could you be so selfish!? Your daughter's future is on the line! Do you want her to be raised fatherless like you and your sister?!"

"CHLOE CARLSON, I DON'T HAVE A WHORE AS A DAUGHTER!"

Her mother's voice was ringing like thunder that blasted Chloe's heart. Now she knew her relationship with her mother was already ruined.

Everything was ruined because of that bastard Vincent Gray.

Judith continued crying for a while, and the room was completely silent except for the muffled sound of an old lady sobbing, lamenting over her daughter. This good daughter cheated on her husband, even though she had a life everyone dreamed of when they were young. She was a complete ungrateful whore.

Judith got up with difficulty and walked to the door. She opened the door wide, "I can't look you in the eyes, Chloe Carlson. Not after what you've done. You must leave and never return unless you reconcile with your husband."
