Chapter 505 505
Vernon clenched his fist.
To say that he was angry was an understatement, right now. He truly wanted to rip that old woman in half! The hatred in his heart that had been accumulated since he was a child almost burst out, and he almost lunged at her.
"I don't care if you will tell him or not. In his eyes, you're the crazy one, and I can always kill you later, you old hag," Vernon said, then he mocked her; "Heh, why do I need to kill you anyway? You're just a dying bitch that nobody likes. You'll die alone, and Vincent will probably toss your body to the trash bin. That's where you're supposed to be!"
There was a trace of sadness in Dorothea's eyes, but she quickly turned her head straight and walked to the front door. She didn't want to look back anymore because if she did so, they would see her tears.
Dorothea walked out of the main door, leaving Chloe and Vernon alone in the apartment room.
Chloe had been chewing her lower lip for a while. She was trying to find a solution to this because she refused to believe that Dorothea was evil.
Chloe might not be the smartest or the most scheming person in the room like Vernon, but she had her heart.
And her heart told her that Dorothea was not evil. She probably did this so there would be no further fight between the three.
Chloe glanced at Vernon, who had been staring at the main door with his hawk-like gaze. There was a deep hatred in his eyes, which greatly saddened Chloe.
Because for a few seconds, she thought she could persuade Vernon to stop Dorothea from leaving.
"Stop thinking about it, Chloe," Vernon said coldly as his eyes were still staring straight. "I know that you want to stop her from leaving. But you should know that she's an old bitch. She's the worst woman I've ever met, and nothing will ever change that."
Chloe shook her head. She opened her mouth, wanting to argue with Vernon.
But she thought that it was useless to do that now.
What she needed to do right now was to stop Dorothea from leaving.
Thus, Chloe dashed to the main door, trying to chase Dorothea.
"CHLOE!" Vernon rushed to catch her.
"Dorothea! Dorothea, stop!" Chloe exited the apartment room and saw Dorothea sauntering, heading to the elevator at the end of the corridor.
Dorothea flinched for a moment. She instinctively looked over her shoulder and saw Chloe trying to catch up.
She halted her step, wanting to turn around and tell Chloe to stop her futile effort to reconcile Vernon's relationship with her.
Because it was no use. Dorothea and Vernon's reconciliation would never happen, she was an unwanted old woman, and her sons would be glad to see her dead.
It was a cold, harsh truth that she had to accept. It was her punishment for being such a shitty mother to both of them, especially Vernon.
However, before she could turn around, she saw Vernon rushing out of the apartment room and catching Chloe's wrist, stopping Chloe from running toward Dorothea. Knowing that Vernon would not allow her to get close to her daughter-in-law, Dorothea continued with the act and walked steadfastly toward the elevator.
"Dorothea!" Chloe tried to run towards her, but Vernon caught her wrist tightly, giving her no chance to reach Dorothea. "Ugh, let go!"
"STOP THIS, CHLOE!" Vernon's thundering voice echoed around the corridor. He glared at Chloe as his patience was seriously wearing thin right now.
He wanted to be patient and loving to his woman. After all, this was just a misunderstanding, and Chloe was being used by that manipulative old bitch.
But Chloe's insistence was seriously going to make him explode at some point;
"Do you really want to go with that old bitch? Fine, you can choose," Vernon said. "You can either chase that hag, but that means you will never meet me again after this, or you can stay with me, and you must forget that old hag. She's just manipulating you!"
Chloe was shocked by Vernon's threat. Of course, she couldn't choose between them, because she believed they were supposed to be a family! How could he let her choose between two people she thought were already part of their small family?
Meanwhile, Vernon kept staring at Chloe with a deep gaze. He confidently gave that option, but his heart was full of doubts.
He was scared that Chloe might want to leave him and go with Dorothea instead. After all, he wasn't exactly the ideal man that she'd want in her life.
Thus, Vernon subconsciously tightened his grip around Chloe's wrist, silently pleading for Chloe to stay with him.
Chloe turned her neck to look at Dorothea and Vernon simultaneously. She gave Vernon pleading eyes since she didn't want to choose, but Vernon was firm with his decision.
He would never allow his beloved woman to meet with that old bitch again, or else that hag would try to use Chloe's kindness to do her bidding again.
Dorothea scoffed as she continued sauntering, "Hah, why would you give her those stupid options? She's a confused dumb woman. Of course she can't choose," Dorothea mocked. "Go keep her. I don't want her anyway. All she talks about is how kind you are. How happy she is staying with you. How gentle you're towards Mackie and her. How much she loves you and wants to be your wife. Blablabla... It's so disgusting. I can't believe you fall in love with a lowlife woman like her."
"Dorothea..." Chloe muttered her name weakly. Vernon might not notice this, but Dorothea's words just now were a clear signal, telling Chloe not to leave Vernon's side.
Dorothea pressed the elevator button, and it opened in an instant. She entered the elevator and said, "This is the last time we will meet, Vernon. Remember that I will always hate you, you're forever an unwanted child."
And the elevator door finally closed.
