Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Chapter 623 623

"Ma'am?" Officer Derek called her name again. He thought she was being dazed again, but the troubled look on her face said otherwise.

It seemed that Mrs. Gray was contemplating really hard about something right now, which was a surprise for Officer Derek.

He genuinely thought that Mrs. Gray would defend her husband and said Vincent Gray was a good Samaritan. A respectable man that would do no wrong, and a man who upheld justice, all the good things that would eliminate him from any chance of bad press and investigation.

'Why is she contemplating this?' Officer Derek asked himself. 'I thought she had a good relationship with her husband. I mean, I never met her once, and I don't know what happened inside their house. But Vincent Gray always told the media that he is in love with his wife and daughter, that's why he never wants to show their faces, because he wants to protect their privacy.'

'Did he lie about it? What if Vincent Gray actually did something to his wife like an abuse, that's why nobody on the internet ever got the glimpse of Mrs. Gray?' Officer Derek started theorizing inside his head. He observed Mrs. Gray from head to toe and refuted his own theory. 'No, there is no way Vincent Gray would abuse his wife. She looks so beautiful and healthy. I see no sign of trauma or abuse in her.'

'Then what's with the hesitation?' Officer Derek pondered. 'Did they have a fight and now Mrs. Gray wants to create bad press for her husband as revenge? Goddamn, that's one vindictive woman!'

Chloe finally opened her mouth after a while, "Officer."

"Y—Yes, Ma'am."

Chloe glanced at the Officer for a moment and then asked, "What will happen if I say that Vincent might have been involved here?"

"Then we will put him as a witness first," Officer Derek replied. "We're implicating him in this case because Chelsea Davis keeps on calling Vincent Gray's name, and says that Vincent wants her to kill her family in exchange for a hand-in marriage."

"We know that Mr. Gray is a very important businessman. He is even a celebrity at this point. So we thought she was just being crazy and delusional. It's not the first time we have to deal with the case of delusional fans doing crazy stuff in the name of their idols."

"But, once we discover that she is related to you, Mrs. Gray, we know that means Chelsea Davis at least has direct in-laws connection with Mr. Vincent Gray," Officer Derek said. "That's why we asked you to come and see the situation yourself because I think you have the most say in this."

"I see…" Chloe nodded. She thought that Vincent would be directly persecuted for this case. After all, Chloe was 100% convinced Vincent must be the mastermind behind this murder. He must've used his charm to trick Chelsea into doing such a heinous act.

But he'd only be called as a witness, and with his charm, money, and connection, he'd just walk out scot-free.

So the only one who'd be at a disadvantage was Chloe because Vincent would definitely hunt her down this time if she dared to say a thing to this Officer.

'I should just stay silent,' Chloe said in his head. But her heart told her that she should at least try to disturb Vincent with bad press.

More bad press meant more leniency for Vernon to do whatever he liked to gather his resources against Vincent.

Besides, she also wanted Vincent to know she was a different woman. She wouldn't be stomped so easily this time.

But still, she had to do this carefully.

"Officer, if I say that my husband isn't as perfect as he looks in public, will you believe it?" Chloe asked.

Officer Derek swallowed his saliva with difficulty. He didn't have any bad opinion of Vincent Gray, at least. However, he did admire that man because he had done many great things, especially for charity. He had done it for years, so whenever people talked about Vincent Gray, everyone always assumed the same thing.

-

A rich but generous man, very respectable, and loved by everyone. He was also a great husband and father because he tried his best to protect his family's privacy.

-

That idea had been perpetuated inside people's minds for so long. Just the idea of him being something different could send them into confusion.

But this was Mrs. Gray he was talking with. This woman knew Vincent Gray much more than everyone in this world.

"I'm unsure, Ma'am," Officer Derek replied. "I mean, personally, I wouldn't believe it, because it's not something I'm used to hearing. But you're his wife, so you should've known more than I or most people."

Chloe nodded, "Indeed, know more, of course. I've been with him for more than ten years, and I'm telling you, Officer. He is far more sinister than any man you will ever meet in this world."

Officer Derek held his breath, trying not to freak out over that accusation. He didn't want Mrs. Gray to tell too much of her private life, especially when all that he needed was a yes or no answer from Mrs. Gray initially.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. But I just want to know if you think your husband is involved in a romantic relationship with Chelsea Davis, so we can either scratch his name or put him as a witness for this case, since Chelsea keeps mentioning him."

"… can you promise me that you will never reveal to him that I am the one who tells you about all this?" Chloe asked.

Officer Derek nodded, "Your anonymity is also your right, Ma'am. We won't tell him that you're the one who tells us about everything."

Chloe didn't believe that.

This Officer could confidently say that she was safe, but Chloe knew that Vincent had more than enough to crack any information from the NYPD.

But she found another way to keep her anonymity.
