Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Chapter 767 767

?

The court wasn't as crowded as Vernon and Chloe expected, which was great because Vernon tried his best to conceal the court event today so that the public wouldn't know about Vincent and Chloe's divorce court.

He didn't want the public to think that Chloe was a mere abused lady who ran away. He wanted her to be glamorous. He wanted her to be remembered by the public as Vernon Phoenix Gray's wife instead of Vincent Gray's abused ex-wife. 

He parked his car and sat in silence for a while, staring at the court. Vernon looked at Chloe, "Don't worry about anything, my Love. I'm with you. I will make sure everything runs smoothly today."

Chloe smiled. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips and said, "I have no worry. I know that I will be safe when I'm with you."

Thus, Chloe and Vernon left their car and held hands as they walked into the court building together. 

They were greeted by Meyer and Diamond, who were already waiting inside the main lobby. 

Diamond looked proper as always, so she was surprised when he saw Chloe in a formal suit and skirt. 

"Gurl, you look so good wearing this kind of outfit! Wait, maybe I should call you Mrs. Phoenix Gray for now since you look all prim and proper," Diamond joked while hugging Chloe for a moment. She did this to make things less stressful because she knew that Chloe must've been extremely stressed and nervous right now.

Chloe giggled and replied, "You can call me that later when I finally get married. Besides, I know you've wanted to wear that purple dress for my wedding."

"Hihi, I can't wait, Gurl," Diamond giggled with her. "That poor dress has been left untouched for a while. That dress needs its debut!"

Vernon momentarily allowed Chloe to joke around with Diamond and asked Meyer, "Where is the waiting room that I asked before?"

"You need to go to the fifth floor, Sir. Diamond and I will show you the way," Meyer replied.

"How about that bastard? Is he already in that room?" Vernon asked again, to which Meyer replied with a nod. 

"Alright then, let's go."

Diamond and Meyer led their bosses to the fifth floor, where the room was located. It was a waiting room but purposely emptied for Vincent because they needed a space where Chloe and Vincent could talk without being disturbed by anyone.

The room also had a big window facing the corridor, so Vernon could watch what was happening inside. 

It also had a CCTV inside, in case the stronger party made an assault. 

"This is the room, Sir," Meyer said as they stood at the door. "Vincent Gray is already inside."

Vernon and Chloe peeked from the window and saw Vincent, who was busy reviewing the trial documents.

Chloe's eyes widened, and her body trembled when she saw that monster who didn't seem bothered that they were about to get divorced. 

She grabbed Vernon's hand tighter to gain support, and Vernon got anxious about her, "Are you sure you want to do this alone? I can stay with you inside if you can't."

Chloe swallowed her saliva as she tried to gather her courage. She shook her head and replied, "I will do it. I—I will face him myself. Just make sure to watch over me in case he dares to do something."

"… I will. Don't worry. I will always protect you, my love…" Vernon assured. 

Thus, they nodded to Meyer simultaneously, and Meyer opened the door for them, so they walked in together.

Vincent sat in the waiting room provided by the court staff. They said the trial would start in about two hours, so he had plenty of time to review everything before it started.

Since he didn't bring any lawyer with him, he had to do everything all on his own, and truthfully, the chance of him stopping the divorce was slim to none.

But he was Vincent Gray, and nobody in the Gray family would give up before the fight, "I just need to make sure that I can exploit this. Chloe is a weak-willed person. I'm sure she will be scared once I press her to admit that she is sleeping with someone else, just like I did."

"I also need to fight harder for Mackie's visitation rights. I can't have her custody, but I want to get a lot more visitation rights at least so I can tell Mackie about many things," Vincent muttered. "I want that little girl to be on my side. I'm sure Chloe would fold once she realized that her daughter doesn't love her anymore."

As Vincent was still busy with his plan, the door suddenly opened from outside. He looked up, and his jaw dropped instantly when he saw none other than Chloe.

She looked much healthier than before and looked much more radiant than from the video recording that went viral a few months ago. 

She was wearing a cream-colored suit and knee-length skirt. Her body looked perfect from head to toe, and her chestnut brown hair flowed beautifully. Unlike the previous Chloe, who was impoverished, her body became thin, and her hair fell out. 

She stared at Vincent with her sweet doe eyes and a little smile that made everything in this world blurry for Vincent. He only had his eyes on her, and he got up instantly, wanting to rush and hug her tightly.

Vincent had a lot on his mind. He wanted to tell Chloe he regretted everything and wished they could start anew as a couple.

He wanted to tell her how much he missed her when she was gone. 

He realized that he felt so empty without her and was willing to discard any relationship with other women outside as long as Chloe wanted to return home and become the mistress of his house again. 

But in the end, all he wanted to say was how much he loved her.
