Ch. 601..605: Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother Chapter 601-605

Chapter 601

Chelsea dragged Aaron back to her car after her fight with Chloe in the parking lot. To say that she was pissed was an understatement. She was goddamn mad at her bitch sister that she couldn't wait to claw her beautiful face, so Chloe would know what to feel when her face was ruined by an anonymous attack.

"Mommy, it hurts…." Aaron said as his Mommy gripped his arm tightly until he felt pain. He struggled a little so his Mommy wouldn't be too harsh on him, but Chelsea glared at her son when he pulled his arm.

"Do you want to run away again?" She asked.

"N—No, but it hurts…." Aaron said, looking at his arm, which might be blue now.

Chelsea smirked maliciously and then dug her sharp nails into her son's skin, which made the little boy scream as he saw blood trickling from the tip of his mother's nail.

"Mommy—Mommy, it hurts!"

"THEN SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" Chelsea yelled. "The more you try to struggle, the more I will beat the fucking shit out of you!"

Aaron zipped his mouth instantly. He dared not to struggle when his mother dragged him until they reached their car.

Chelsea opened the car door and just rudely shoved the little boy into the back seat before she sat in the driver seat. She looked at the rearview mirror and saw the little boy biting his lips, trying hard not to sob despite his eyes being already red with tears pooling at the corner of each eye.

Chelsea scoffed, "Why are you crying? Do you not realize that you ruined my visit today? I'm here to consult the doctor and see what kind of plastic surgery I need to have!"

"Don't you want to see me happy? I will fix this scar, and then my eyes, my cheek, my jawline, my nose, and then getting botox in a few spots, I will become MUCH MORE beautiful than that ungrateful bitch Chloe!" Chelsea yelled even harder.

She knew that Aaron was too young to understand what she meant, making her even more pissed because nobody was on her side right now.

"Mommy, don't say bad things about Aunty..." Aaron muttered.

Chelsea couldn't handle it anymore and twisted her body to face Aaron sitting at the back. She glared at Aaron with eyes that could kill, and the scar on her cheeks only made her even scarier, like a monster in the boy's dream.

"Don't you dare to defend her, you little shit! I will fucking punch you in the face if you try to take her side!"

Aaron almost pissed himself out of fear. He retreated until his back hit the backseat and nodded, "I'm sorry, Mommy…."

"Heh, your sorry won't change a thing," Chelsea said. "But that's better than being a little shit who ruins my day."

Chelsea finally calmed down a bit after scaring her son. It was a little revenge, so Aaron would understand not to comment on anything she did or said, or he would be beaten. So far, it had been very successful because her kids dared not to make a mess around the house these days.

'I'm still pissed though, I can't wait to get surgery and see Vincent. I bet he will fall in love so hard when he sees me again,' Chelsea thought. 'He definitely wants to see me after the surgery is done. Why else he keeps sending me money?'

Chelsea had gotten at least ten thousand dollars each month from Vincent. He said it was because Chelsea got laid off from her job as a teacher because she scared the kids too much.

Though, it was actually Chelsea who resigned voluntarily because she thought she didn't need to work hard when she had a future husband as rich as Vincent.

She used the ten grand for different stuff, though.

She used two thousand dollars for her family, which included four children and an elderly mother, so they had to be mindful of their spending. Meanwhile, Chelsea kept the eight thousand all for herself.

'Well, of course, I have to save a lot! I have to get the best doctor for plastic surgery! Those burdens will eventually know that my decision is right and would also benefit when Chelsea gets married to Vincent sooner or later.

Chelsea drove back to her three-decker apartment she shared with her kids and elderly mother. She parked her car, and her mood was instantly ruined again when she saw her three children playing in the playground not far from their apartment.

"Go bring your brothers back to the house. I'm too lazy to watch over them," Chelsea said to Aaron, and the little boy simply nodded and went to the playground to fetch his little brothers.

Chelsea got out of the car and went up to the second floor where her family apartment was located. They used to rent a much smaller and uglier apartment when they were young, but it was thanks to Chloe who asked for Vincent to give her family a better livelihood, so Vincent allowed Chloe's family to live in one of the triple-deckers that Vincent owned.

While they didn't need to pay rent anymore, that didn't mean they were all safe. Because Vincent could kick them out if he wanted to.

'Hah, I bet Vincent doesn't even love Chloe that much. If he does, he wouldn't allow Chloe's family to live in a triple-decker like this. He would simply give a luxurious apartment near Central Park for all of us.'

'Just wait and see me getting that,' Chelsea said. 'Once I get married to Vincent, I will be able to get all the things I want. After all, I will be married to a billionaire, of course I deserve all the good things in life.'

Chelsea started imagining her wedding with Vincent again. It was her only way to make herself feel better after her face got ruined, 'It will all be worth it in the end.'

Chapter 602

Chelsea opened the door and saw her elderly mother, Judith sitting on her wicker chair while watching TV. Judith had gotten weaker these days, so she mostly sat on her wicker chair and watched TV to spend her days.

She couldn't even cook and clean as much as she used to, much to Chelsea's annoyance.

'Someone got to pull her own weight around here,' Chelsea thought. But she still respected her mother enough not to say that.

At least her mother still had the initiative to clean the house and cook dinner for all of them. It was the least she could do so she wouldn't be a burden in this house.

She strode through the living room and passed her mother without even saying hi, so Judith turned her neck towards her and asked, "Chelsea, where did you go today?"

Chelsea halted her step and turned around to face her mother, "When did you learn to be a pesky old bitch?" Chelsea asked rudely. Though she wouldn't kick her mother out because she was partly useless these days, it didn't mean she would tolerate any bullshit from her old mother.

Judith's heartbeat skipped for a second. She was scared of her own daughter these days because Chelsea had become crazier after Tommy left her, and she got attacked by a mysterious man that ruined her face.

Aside from that, Judith also had this strange feeling the moment his son-in-law, Vincent Gray, stepped in and tried to help Chelsea during the hard times.

It felt like… Vincent's presence only further drove Chelsea insane with all the delusion that he would marry her eventually.

Even Judith knew that would never happen.

Chloe was obviously much more beautiful than Chelsea. Their appearance was like earth and sky. Chelsea was very average-looking because she took her facial features from Judith.

Meanwhile, Chloe took the facial features of her bastard husband, who ran away, leaving Judith and her two daughters in a difficult situation for years.

'Vincent is still a man. No man wants to marry an average looking woman when they have the chance to get the most beautiful woman on earth with his money,' Judith thought. 'Besides, Chelsea's face is ruined now, and she has become unhinged too. I don't think Vincent will ever consider her to replace Chloe, especially when I know really well that Vincent loves Chloe so much.'

'But why does he keep sending money to us? Is it just to take care of us?' Judith asked herself. 'He is a kind man. But I don't think he has enough reason to send us so much money when Chloe has betrayed him….'

"S—Sorry, I was just curious. Besides, the boys are asking your whereabouts," Judith said.

Chelsea frowned, "I went to the hospital with Aaron. I want to consult with the doctor about my plastic surgery. I want to get the work done as soon as possible so I can meet with Vincent again."

Judith tried to hide her disgust as much as possible, not wanting to trigger Chelsea's unstable rage.

She just couldn't imagine Chelsea getting married to Vincent. There was an icky feeling in her heart. She always saw Vincent as her son-in-law who married Chloe, not Chelsea. And the reason why she always took his side because she believed Chloe should be grateful to have such an amazing husband like Vincent.

"I—I see…." Judith nodded reluctantly. "What did the doctor say?" She asked further.

Chelsea's mood turned bitter instantly. Her eyes darkened, and she replied, "I failed to meet the doctor, because I accidentally bumped into that ungrateful bitch Chloe."

Judith's eyes widened. She almost jumped out of her wicker chair when Chelsea mentioned Chloe's name, "How is she? Is she alright?"

"Well, she's alive at least," Chelsea sneered. "Why do you ask? Don't tell me that you still care for that ungrateful whore. I thought she's dead in your eyes."

"I never say that!" Judith denied. "Although she made a huge mistake by leaving Vincent, doesn't mean that I disowned her. I just want to teach her a lesson, so she will return to her husband and be a good wife."

"A good wife? Hahah! I am a much better wife than she will ever be! I will be a good wife for Vincent and mother for our child in the future!" Chelsea said. "You shouldn't care about her anyway. She left her husband and abandoned all of us for another man that is probably a lot worse than Vincent anyway. She belongs in the street, not with a handsome, rich, responsible man like Vincent."

Judith couldn't hold her disgust, so she said, "And he should marry someone like you?"

"Obviously," the corner of Chelsea's lips perked up, which made her scar rise up as well, giving the sinister image of a female joker planning on something devious. "Don't you see how suitable we are? Vincent and I are both hard workers. He is a CEO of a billion-dollar company that makes him busy all year round, while I am an independent woman who can get my own money without a man's help—at least when I was still working as a teacher."

"There is no correlation whatsoever," Judith said.

"Of course there is! For a busy man like him, he'd want an understanding wife who will not pester him. Unlike Chloe—that ungrateful whore who just stands still and complains about Vincent's busy schedule. I can work with him as well. Maybe he will give me a small loan of a million dollars to start my own company, then we will be a powerful couple, husband and wife, both becoming great business moguls!"

Judith shook her head. She didn't understand how things went so bad after Chloe left Vincent.

From their money getting cut, Tommy leaving, Chelsea getting attacked, and now she started to get crazy over her sister's husband.

It was as if Chloe's disappearance opened a pandora's box that ruined the lives of everyone around her.

"Stop thinking about him, Chelsea. Vincent is Chloe's husband, they're not even divorced.

Chapter 603

"Stop thinking about him, Chelsea. Vincent is Chloe's husband, they're not even divorced."

Chelsea's smirk disappeared instantly when Judith reminded her of one vital fact about Chloe and Vincent.

She was right.

Vincent and Chloe weren't together, but they were still technically married. Vincent told them once that he refused to divorce Chloe because he loved her way too much and was willing to accept her back if Chloe returned home.

Meanwhile, Chloe herself didn't seem to care enough to divorce Vincent. She simply ran away, as if she was taunting her real husband so that she could fuck with all the other men she wanted, and Vincent would still love her.

Judith sighed when she saw Chelsea's smirk falter. Chelsea seemed to have woken up temporarily from her stupid delusion of marrying Vincent, "Please stop all this, Chelsea. Though she betrayed her husband, Chloe is still your sister. We should just focus on bringing her back to her rightful husband."

"I don't have a whore sister," Chelsea sneered. "Besides, why do I have to bring her back to Vincent when I can bring myself to him. Do you think I'm lacking something compared to Chloe?"

"That's not what I mean—"

"I am obviously smarter, more independent, prettier, and much more understanding than Chloe could ever be. Vincent will eventually realize how stupid he is to be so dedicated to a whore like Chloe!" Chelsea claimed. Unfortunately, that brief snap to reality wasn't enough to bring her back from her delusion. She still believed that she genuinely had a chance to be Mrs. Gray.

"You haven't even divorced Tommy yet," Judith said. "You and Vincent are in a similar situation, and look at him struggling to put his life together without Chloe by his side. Do you think that he won't move on as soon as possible if he doesn't love Chloe?"

"That's easy. Once Vincent proposed to me, I'm sure that he will help me to find Tommy and let me divorce his ass!" Chelsea claimed. "Besides, why do you keep thinking about putting Chloe and Vincent together. Obviously, Chloe is not trying to get back together with Vincent. You should focus on me and my happiness instead. I've suffered long enough when I was married to Tommy. So, it's time to move on, mother."

Chelsea said the last line sarcastically since her old mother kept defending Chloe for no reason.

"Besides, I am the one who's taking care of you. You should always be on my side instead of her."

"This is not about picking a side, Chelsea," Judith sighed. "Both of you are my daughters, and I just want the best for both of you."

"And the best for me is to stay with Tommy? Oh don't fuck with me, you old bitch," Chelsea started getting heated as she felt that Judith obviously picking Chloe's side in this situation. "You should be grateful that I allow you to be in this house. You should know how much I want to kick you out for being useless."

Judith gasped.

She never expected her daughter to have that kind of malicious idea of kicking her out. So she got up from her wicker chair and walked towards Chelsea until they faced each other.

Judith looked at her daughter and said, "You have no right to kick me out of my house. This apartment is given by Vincent because Chloe asked for it. I still allow you to live here because your husband has no real job, and you can't afford to rent another apartment with your salary when you have four kids to take care of."

"Oh yeah? Well, Chloe is gone now, and I am your only ticket to stay in this apartment," Chelsea claimed arrogantly. "You know I can always kick you out once I get married to Vincent. He will obey all of my commands, so if you want to have a place to live, kneel down and kiss my feet, you old bitch."

PA!

"AH!" Chelsea was shocked when her mother suddenly slapped her right on the face. She staggered and fell to the floor. She covered her hot cheek and glared up at her mother. "You bitch! How dare you slap me!"

Judith looked down at her daughter and replied with a cold voice unbefitting her small stature, "You deserve it. Get over that stupid idea of marrying Vincent! He is obviously in love with Chloe because she's beautiful. You're not as beautiful as her, Chelsea, just admit it!"

Chelsea gritted her teeth. She got up and then stated, "Just wait and see, you old bitch. You will regret ever slapping me. I was thinking about throwing you to the nursing home out of kindness. But you deserve to fucking die as a homeless!"

Chelsea turned around and walked away from her mother. Judith should be glad that Chelsea had self-control, or else she would slap that old woman until her head fell off!

Judith saw her daughter enter her room and slam the door. She sighed pitifully.

She returned to her wicker chair, sitting idly while staring at the mindless TV program, "I don't know what's wrong with my family. I thought things were looking up when Chloe got married with Vincent and I don't have to worry about money anymore. Then she just ran away after ten years of good life, and now things are turning upside-down."

Judith glanced at Chelsea's room and felt humiliation crawling inside her heart. She knew that Vincent gave her a lot of money after Chloe left, but she never shared enough of them with her old mother and also her children.

She remembered having to shamelessly extort money from Madam Dorothea Gray because she faced a difficult situation. Two of the boys were sick and had to be hospitalized because they were very young, but they had no money, and Chelsea refused to give her money to go to the hospital.

So when Madam Gray called her and asked for Chloe's contact, Judith found the chance to get the money she needed to go to the hospital.

Chapter 604

"Maybe I've been too harsh on Chloe…." Judith pondered. She thought she did a great job teaching Chloe how to be a good woman and wife, so her husband wouldn't leave her, just like what Chloe and Chelsea's father did to them.

Judith realized that sometimes Chloe looked sad—too sad for a woman who married a handsome, loyal, and loving billionaire.

But she didn't tell Judith, and Judith didn't want to ask because she was afraid it'd break the small paradise they created after Chloe hit the jackpot and married a man like Vincent.

Judith remembered how devastated she was when Vincent came to her and said that Chloe ran away with another man because he was too busy with his work as a CEO.

He looked so heartbroken that Judith instantly took his side.

"I called her a whore at that time. What was I thinking?" Judith asked herself. She was so angry and disappointed in her second daughter when she confronted her. That word just slipped out of her mouth, something she truly regretted after Chloe left the apartment.

She tried calling her daughter many times after that incident. She wanted to apologize for what she said. She regretted how she would have handled the situation better and persuaded Chloe to return to Vincent, so things would return to normal and everyone would be happy once more.

But she got blocked. Everyone in the family got blocked by Chloe as if she just wanted to cut ties with her own family, which only piled the regret even more for Judith.

"Now I don't know what to do. We're stuck in this situation. Without Chloe's presence, things become really bad somehow…."

While Judith was lamenting about this whole thing, the boys knocked on the door before opening it from outside.

"We're home, Gran!"

Judith turned her head towards the little boys standing near the door. She smiled at them as always, but her smile faltered when she saw Aaron's cheek. It was swollen red as if someone had struck him hard.

And that someone was obviously the female Joker who called her mother an old bitch just now.

The boys went to the kitchen to drink a glass of water, but Judith called Aaron, "Aaron, come here."

"Um…" Aaron walked towards the wicker chair and stood at the side. He looked up to his Gran, waiting for an order.

Judith pinched his chin and lifted the boy's head so she could see the swollen cheek better. She squinted and asked, "Who did this?"

"…" Aaron dared not to answer. He was scared that his mother would beat him even harder if he dared to report it to Gran.

"It's your mother, isn't it?"

"…"

"It's okay, I won't do anything if you say yes."

Aaron finally hesitated. He nodded reluctantly and replied, "I'm fine, Gran."

"You're not fine. Let me get some ice first."

Judith treated the swollen cheek with ice. The little boy winced in pain a few times but always shut his mouth, afraid that making noises would only further infuriate his mother.

Judith sighed when she saw this. Her heart was aching, but she didn't know what to do against her unstable daughter. It felt like Chelsea was on her way to being truly deranged.

'Is it because of Tommy's absence? I don't think Chelsea actually loved him enough to care for him when he was gone. Tommy has no job, and spends his time loitering around the city with no purpose.'

'Or is it because of Vincent? But I don't think Vincent did anything to Chelsea before. It's just Chelsea who starts having funny ideas about him when he started helping us after Chloe left.'

…

'Or is it because of Chloe?' Judith pondered. 'Chelsea has always been jealous of Chloe's beauty. She was also jealous of her when Chloe got the scholarship to go to an elite private high school. She also got envious when Chloe brought Vincent into our old apartment. She got very bitter when Chloe married the most perfect bachelor in New York….'

…

To be honest, Judith already knew the answer. Chelsea's deranged behavior came from her crazy jealousy towards her own sister.

But at the same time, Judith also couldn't do anything to solve this problem. Sister's jealousy was normal to some extent, and she thought Chelsea would eventually grow out of it.

'Who would've expected that she would become like this just because of envy?'

"Gran…"

"Yes?"

"Will Mommy get better?" Aaron asked. "She is so cruel these days…."

"… I don't know, Aaron," Judith replied honestly. It was too late to lie to the boy at this point because he had been hit plenty of times already. All the boys had been hit by Chelsea. She really didn't hold back against any of them.

In fact, it seemed that Chelsea liked seeing the boys cower in fear under her abuse, and all of this happened after she got attacked. Vincent started paying more attention to her.

Aaron lowered his head pitifully. He said nothing, but the trace of sadness in his eyes lingered, "I hope I can be with Aunty. She is kind, and she never yells or beats me."

Judith's heartbeat skipped for a second. She just realized that Aaron must be with Chelsea when she met with Chloe in the hospital.

"Did you meet with your Aunt?"

"Yeah, after Mommy hit me, I ran to the parking lot and met Aunt Chloe there," Aaron replied.

"Is she alright? How does she look?" Judith asked.

"Um…" Aaron lifted his head again and tried to remember Aunt Chloe's face, which was actually a bit different from what he used to see. "Aunt Chloe is not sick anymore. She is not too pale, and not too thin. Aunty brought me to her car and bought me many snacks and soda. I wish I could keep the chocolate bars…."

Judith had a spark of hope upon hearing Aaron's explanation, "Did she tell you something about her life and condition? Did she give you something, maybe her location, or her phone number?"

Chapter 605

"Did she give you something, maybe her location or phone number?" Judith asked. She came out a bit too excited because she thought there was finally a sign of her second daughter.

She wanted to apologize. Maybe they could talk about this whole problem. Because Judith believed it was partly her fault because she was so angry and disappointed at Chloe she didn't even want to listen to her daughter's explanation back then.

'I want to make things right,' Judith thought.

Aaron stared at his Gran, who got so excited. He glanced down at his breast pocket, where he had a piece of paper containing Aunt Chloe's phone number.

'But Aunty told me not to tell anyone that I have her number, and I should only call her when I really need her help…' Aaron remembered the warning from his Aunt.

At first, he didn't know why he had to hide it. They were family, after all, and he always believed that his Aunt Chloe never meant any harm to him.

But then he saw how Mommy was so angry when she saw Aunty, even wanting to attack her many times.

Thus, he realized that he had to keep her number a secret, or else Mommy would confiscate it, and Aaron would have no way to escape his crazy mom.

He stared at his Gran momentarily and said, "Nothing, Gran. She just gave me snacks and drinks and brought me back to Mommy…."

"Really?" Judith couldn't believe that for some reason. Chloe was a very caring woman with a strong motherly instinct.

Chelsea always threw all the boys into Chloe whenever she visited. Chloe would take care of them without complaining even once.

In fact, it seemed that she really liked having many children and loved the child-rearing process. So Judith sometimes asked her if she really wanted another child. She should've asked Vincent about it since nothing held them back.

Chloe would just smile bitterly at her and reply, 'Vincent is too busy.'

"Mhm," Aaron nodded. He lowered his head again, not wanting to stare at Gran's eyes, afraid that he might slip and say something that would get her in trouble. "I wish I can meet with Aunty again. I'm always at my happiest when I'm with Aunt Chloe, with my brothers, and also with Boss Mackie. I miss my boss too."

"…" Judith said nothing in the end. She was also disappointed that Chloe didn't give anything to Aaron. It would be nice if Chloe gave him her phone number, so Judith could call her and maybe smoothen things between them. She didn't want to be estranged from any of her daughters.

The other boys came to Judith after washing their hands and feet in the bathroom. They sat on the long sofa and said to Judith, "Gran, it's time for dinner! Can we eat something?"

"I'll make a mac and cheese for you all," Judith said. But the boys pouted.

"Can we get something else? We've been eating Mac and Cheese every dinner. I want something more!"

"Yes!"

"Um! I want chicken!"

Judith sighed.

She had some money left in her under-the-bed savings to buy some meat and veggies for her grandsons. But she wanted to keep it in case one of the boys was sick again, and Chelsea refused to give them money to go to the doctor.

"Let me ask if your mother can give us money for it," Judith got up and walked towards Chelsea's room. She knocked at the door a few times until Chelsea opened the door annoyedly

"What?" Chelsea asked rudely.

"The boys. They want to eat meat," Judith said. "Please give me some money to buy groceries."

Chelsea rolled her eyes, "I don't have money."

"Don't lie, Chelsea," Judith confronted. "I know that Vincent gives you a lot of money every month. He always calls me to make sure the money has been transferred to your bank account, and he always gives me the amount."

"You're given ten thousand dollars each month, right? How come you only give us two thousand? Do you think that's enough for all of us?" Judith asked. "Don't be greedy, Chelsea. You will regret it."

Chelsea's eyes widened, but she said nothing. She just slammed the door shut and then opened it again with a one-hundred-dollar bill in her hand.

However, she didn't simply hand it to Judith. She crumpled it first and then threw it to the ground.

She stepped on it and said, "There, take it."

Judith stared at her first daughter with hatred and humiliation in her eyes. She clenched her fist, ready to fight Chelsea, who was being so cruel to her family.

But she had no time or strength to fight, so Judith crouched carefully and picked up the crumpled dollar bill on the floor.

Chelsea smirked and then spat on her mother's head while Judith was crouching, "I'm going to make you homeless once I married Vincent, you old bitch."

SLAM!

"…"

Judith slowly got up and pocketed the one-hundred-dollar bill. She sighed and went to the kitchen to pull out some tissue sheets and clean the saliva on her hair.

She had no energy to keep fighting against Chelsea, but at least she got one-hundred-dollar, enough for her to buy meat from the local butcher.

Thus, she returned to her grandsons with a smile on her face, "Aaron, let's go out and buy groceries, we're going to eat something delicious today."

"Whoo!"

"Thanks, Gran!"

"Gran is the best!"

Aaron got up and went to their room to bring out his Gran's warm sweater as it was very cold outside for her frail old body.

"Mike, you should take care of your little brothers while we're away, okay?"

"Okay!" Mike nodded, as he was the second oldest.

Aaron handed the sweater to Gran and asked, "We can eat meat tomorrow, Gran. It's very cold outside."

Judith smiled, "It's fine. The grocery is not far from our place. Besides, it'll be warm in the store."

"Um, okay then….
