Chapter 777 Chapter 777: The Divorce Verdict
"Mr. Vincent Gray. Mrs. Chloe Gray, please come to the front and stand side by side. I have come to my decision regarding this divorce trial."
Chloe and Vincent looked at each other silently and then walked to the podium directly facing the judge.
The judge reviewed her decision for the last time before staring at the soon-to-be-divorced couple.
She wouldn't lie that Vincent and Chloe Gray looked good standing side by side. But at the same time, she could also see the hatred emanating from Vincent.
The judge had been handling so many divorce cases in her career that she could see the craziness in his eyes. Chloe Gray wasn't lying when she said that he was abusive.
'And so I will give them what they want.'
The judge cleared her throat and declared, "After a thorough review of the divorce case between Vincent Gray and Chloe Gray, motivated by the abuse and neglect from Vincent Gray to his wife, Chloe Gray, and his daughter, Mackenize Gray."
"On top of that, we have the video evidence of Vincent Gray attempting to assault his wife after getting taunted."
Vincent smirked when the judge mentioned his attempted assault.
He glanced at Chloe, who looked very serious as she stared at the judge, waiting for the verdict.
Vincent had to admit that Chloe had become gorgeous after leaving him for a year. She had returned to her healthy weight and regained the same beauty she had ten years ago.
'Ah, this only makes me want you more,' Vincent sighed. 'You are so beautiful, and now I want you in my life. I want you to be my wife once more.'
'Just wait and see, Chloe. Even if we get divorced, I will still get visitation right,' Vincent thought. 'Why? Because the judge recognized that you often taunted me until I lost control. Everything that I did is absolutely justified.'
'And once I get visitation right, it's not hard for me to influence our innocent daughter to hate you for divorcing me,' Vincent couldn't hide his malicious smile. He had a long plan on how to steal Mackie's heart until she trusted her Daddy completely.
He would eventually tell Mackie to run away and live with him, thus forcing Chloe to return home. After all, Mackie was the reason she left.
'And Mackie will also be the reason she returns to our mansion.'
Meanwhile, Chloe rubbed her palms nervously. She silently prayed that the judge could give her the divorce she wanted and also forbade Vincent from visitation rights.
She knew what was in Vincent's mind.
It was too dangerous to let him meet with Mackie when he was still the same monster from one year ago.
"Therefore, I, Judge Melinda Parr, grant the divorce for Vincent and Chloe Gray. Mr. Vincent Gray does not need to pay for a child's support, and no divorce settlement is necessary. This is all the request of Mrs. Chloe Gray as the plaintiff."
"Mackenzie Rose Gray is eight years old, and thus the full custody is given to Chloe Gray as the mother."
"On top of that…" the judge stared at Vincent, who seemed to have guessed everything. He looked eerily calm and confident. Vincent also had a smile that could only be described as malicious.
"I also grant Mrs. Chloe Gray's request to deny visitation rights for Mr. Vincent Gray. Therefore, Mackenzie is not obligated to visit her father. She is free to cut contact with her father as well."
"This is the final verdict of this divorce case."
Vincent was still on cloud nine until the judge suddenly denied his visitation right. His eyes widened, but before he could say a thing, the judge raised her gavel and banged on the wooden surface three times.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
Chloe was so relieved and happy that she began to sob.
She didn't even know how to express herself right now.
Meanwhile, Vincent took a while to process everything until he protested, "Wait, this is not fair!" He yelled to the judge.
The judge wasn't even surprised by his protest. He wasn't the first to protest after the divorce verdict, and the judge was willing to debate this crazed maniac who beat his wife.
"And what do you think is unfair, Mr. Gray?" the judge asked.
Vincent gritted his teeth. He pointed at Chloe with his elbow and said. "This is not right! How come this bitch gets all the good things, and I get nothing?"
"Your ex-wife doesn't ask for divorce settlement and child support. You are free to walk out of the courtroom without losing a single dime. It is very fair," the judge replied.
"I'd rather pay those than lose my visitation right! I want to see my daughter!" Vincent insisted. "Why am I not allowed to see my daughter anyway? Is it because this bitch looks pitiful? This is why I don't agree that a woman like you can be a judge. You whores can't use your fucking brain!"
The guards were about to escort Vincent out of the courtroom, but the judge stopped them. She wanted to talk with this man first.
"Mr. Vincent Gray, you testified that your ex-wife taunted you. That's why you lost control before the trial started and attempted to assault her. You also said that you would get violent when angry," the judge mentioned. "Do you think a violent and uncontrollable man is allowed around children?"
"But I never hurt my daughter!" Vincent denied. "I've never even yelled at her! I only beat and yell at Chloe!"
"Why? Because she is an adult, and your daughter is a child?" The judge asked. "Then what will happen once your daughter is a teenager? Will you start beating her by then? Vincent Gray, you have a twisted and disturbing way of degrading women. Just like what you told me just now, we are whores that can't use our brains."
"Do you think that kind of man will appreciate and love his daughter? I doubt that."
The judge ended their argument with a small piece of advice;
"You should be thankful to your ex-wife because she is saving your daughter from a monster like you."
