Ch. 606..610: Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother Chapter 606-610
Chapter 606
Chelsea locked the door and threw herself onto the bed. She stared at the ceiling for a while and couldn't help but get annoyed whenever she remembered how her mother dared to talk back at her, even going as far as slapping her once.
When she was Tommy's wife, it was fair for her mother to reprimand her once or twice.
But she would be Mrs. Chelsea Gray soon. How dare she reprimand her when the whole world wouldn't dare? Was she not afraid of Vincent's rage?
"Ugh, I got to call Vincent. I know he is a perfect man with so much sympathy. But he shouldn't be telling this to Judith. That old, greedy bitch will try to use the money for unnecessary stuff!" Chelsea remembered her fight with her mother because she refused to bring her two feverish children to the hospital.
Chelsea thought it was just a simple fever that would go down, so she told her mother to give those boys some fever pills.
But her mother insisted on bringing them to the hospital because their fever was too abnormal, and fever pills for adults weren't suitable for a toddler below the age of five like them.
"I don't know where she got her money from. But oh well, at least she doesn't need to use my hard-earned money to go to a useless pediatrician," Chelsea complained.
She grabbed her phone and started texting Vincent, wanting to complain.
--
To: Vincent
Babe, don't tell my mother about the money you send every month, okay? She is a greedy old woman. She kept asking for money and even slapped me once because I didn't want to give her money.
She is using it for useless stuff!
--
Chelsea pressed send and giggled as she imagined the smile on Vincent's face.
Vincent never told her to call him Babe or any other endearing name. But Chelsea took the initiative because she thought they would eventually be married anyway. What was wrong with giving each other sweet names before marriage?
"Well, I'm sure that he is happy with my name call anyway," Chelsea convinced herself. She waited for an answer. Usually, Vincent wouldn't reply at all, but that was normal since Vincent was very busy.
But once he replied once or twice per week, it could send Chelsea into a euphoria that she had never felt before. She felt that her body had been lifted to the sky just thinking about Vincent, who spared his busy time just to text her back.
She was about to put her phone away when Vincent replied in less than five minutes!
Ding!
"Oh my god!" Chelsea squealed. "Is he starting to catch feelings for me? He can't wait to text me? I bet he keeps thinking about me when he's working!"
Chelsea quickly opened the text, expecting Vincent to give her a long endearing text on how much he couldn't wait to meet her again.
But there was only one sentence there.
-
From: Vincent.
Check Twitter trending.
-
Chelsea's smile faltered, "Huh? What's wrong with twitter? Is there any gossip that I should know?"
Chelsea wasn't exactly the tech-savvy millennial, but she knew that anything that popped up on Twitter trending was not good news.
It was either a celebrity drama, some big cases, or just random things happening in life that blew out of proportion simply because people were bored.
But Chelsea followed the order of her future husband. She opened Twitter and then checked the video that popped up in the top trending.
And the moment she read the title, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
-
Trending: Sisters fight. Two sisters are related to Vincent Gray?!
-
And the thumbnail of the video was her glaring at Chloe with her scary eyes and scar on her cheek. She really looked villainous just looking at the thumbnail.
Of course, she could quickly identify what the video was about even before playing it.
It was her and Chloe fighting in the parking lot because Chloe was a bitch who dared to torment her by acting all sweet and kind while she was actually the filthiest, most cunning witch in the world!
Chelsea didn't have a good feeling about this, "Why the hell they use that face as the thumbnail. People will think that I'm evil," she complained.
But she pressed the video anyway. She wanted to see what it was all about.
--
"Then you should blame this bitch! She is a two-faced bitch who sends someone to attack and carve this scar on me!"
"Watch your mouth, Chelsea! If you keep slandering me like this, then don't blame me if I take this to the court! Let's see how much you can pay for your bullshit!" Chloe yelled, which triggered Chelsea even more.
"I AM THE FUTURE WIFE OF VINCENT GRAY! DO YOU THINK I CAN'T PAY YOU? I CAN FUCKING BUY YOUR LIFE, YOU UNGRATEFUL PIECE OF SHIT!"
--
That was it.
The video ended with her yelling at Chloe.
Chelsea watched the video a few times and frowned, "That's it? What's wrong with this video?" She asked herself. She thought it was a normal video and there was nothing bad about her.
"All I do is to fight back, and claim something that I have the right to. Of course Vincent won't be mad if I say that I am his future wife, it's a fact anyway, and he will eventually broadcast our relationship in the media," Chelsea said lightly.
She closed the video and checked the comment section.
Then her heart dropped after she read hundreds of comments bashing her, calling her the Female Joker, ugly, evil, and a crazy woman.
Everyone seemed to have the same opinion about her, and everyone only praised Chloe because she was beautiful and could stand still in front of a scary woman like Chelsea.
Chelsea's body trembled. She paled instantly.
Of course, she believed that she was prettier than Chloe. But it was just this goddamn scar that made her ugly. She was a lot better than that ungrateful bitch in any aspect.
"I--I have to call Vincent. I don't want him to be sad just because people online are bullying me."
Chapter 607
Chelsea quickly dialed Vincent's number. She kept imagining Vincent's reaction when he discovered this video going viral and how many people bullied her online.
'I bet he must be very angry,' Chelsea thought. 'I don't want him to fight with so many people just because of me. Even though I know that he wants to protect me.'
Chelsea saw herself as a victim of this situation. She got bullied simply because of her scar. If she didn't have it, she was sure that Chloe would get bashed instead, not her.
Beep. Beep.
"Come on, Babe. Pick up the phone!" Chelsea begged. She got even more worried and started thinking if she should just come to the Gray office building or to Vincent's mansion just to find him and give him a hug to calm the beast in her man's heart.
Fortunately, Vincent finally picked up after the third ring.
—
"…"
"…"
Chelsea felt her heartbeat accelerate as there was nothing but silence on the phone. She wondered if Vincent had done something, maybe tracking who dared to slander her online.
It was so sweet of him since he dared to hunt people for talking shit about her, but she didn't want to burden him. She wanted Vincent to ignore this kind of bullshit and focus on working to maintain his billionaire status, or else Chelsea would lose 50% of her attraction to him if he lost that status.
"B—Babe, are you there?" Chelsea asked.
"…"
There was no answer, but Chelsea was convinced that Vincent must be listening right now. He might zip his mouth because he didn't want to accidentally yell at Chelsea.
So she confidently said, "I just checked that trending video. Please don't be mad at them, okay? I know that you want to protect me from those slanderers on the Internet. But they are just people who have too much time in their hands, all they can do is speak bullshit!"
"Please don't do anything rash just because you're mad that I got slandered, okay? I already know that you love me so much, you don't need to prove it!" Chelsea begged, thinking she was doing God's work to save those people and save trouble for her beloved Mr. Gray.
…
Again, no voice came from the other side of the phone. But there was a chuckle of some sort.
"Babe?"
"Do you love me?" Vincent suddenly asked.
Chelsea was caught off guard by the question. It seemed that Vincent had become too emotional to keep his usual cool and aloofness.
So she replied, "O—Of course, I've always been in love with you. Since the first time that ungrateful bitch Chloe brought you home to introduce to us, I've fallen in love with you."
"I want to tell you that Chloe is not worth it. She is not good enough for a perfect man like you, only me, Chelsea Gray—I mean, Chelsea Carlson, knows what's best for a man like you."
"You are a busy man, with a lot of work that you have to tackle everyday. Of course, you need a supportive woman who understands you, and knows what to do to make you happy," Chelsea said, releasing all the things she had in mind to her future husband. "I know that you have been heartbroken by that whore. But it's not too late for us to be together. We can be the new Mr and Mrs. Gray, and people will love us."
"I know that you may see me as Chloe's replacement at first. But it won't be long for you to completely forget about that whore and love me instead," Chelsea said, then she blushed, thinking about all the good things that Vincent had done for her. "I mean, it's quite obvious that you've slowly moved on from Chloe. You visit me when I get attacked, and you keep sending me a lot of money. You're such a tease, Vincent."
"… meet me in the park in front of your apartment. I'll be waiting there around ten."
Ba-dump!
Chelsea felt that her heart could jump out of her chest anytime soon. She was so excited that she wanted to scream and squeal on the floor.
"W—What are we going to do there? Do you want me to do something?"
"… just come, I have a surprise for you."
Beep.
—
Vincent hung up before Chelsea could ask more about this apparent gift he had. She expected many things in her mind already.
"Could it be that he wants to confess, but is too embarrassed to do it on the phone, so he wants to meet me in person?" Chelsea started making up romantic scenarios in her head. It was cold outside since it was already December, and the snow started falling.
So, Chelsea thought that Vincent wanted to make a proposal in the middle of snowfall, followed by him showing an engagement ring, and then finished with them embracing each other and kissing.
It was straight out of old Christmas movies!
"Oh my god! I have to take a bath now and prepare myself!" Chelsea checked the time and was relieved she had at least three hours of preparation before meeting with Vincent.
So she got up and rushed to the wardrobe to check her stuff first. She planned to wear a beautiful dress and high heels, but it was cold outside and might be out of place. So she decided to wear a pair of warm Ugg boots, latex pants, and a stylish brown winter jacket.
"Okay, these are perfect, time to take a shower—no, bath! I need to drench myself in a lot of fragrance before going out. I want to look, smell, and taste absolutely amazing for my future husband!"
**
Vincent hung up the call after he told Chelsea what to do. He was still in the office, sitting on his executive chair, staring at the family photo in his hand.
It was the photo of him, baby Mackie, and Chloe, and this was the last photo with all of them together in the same frame.
Chapter 608
"You should thank me for being so kind and patient, Chloe," Vincent said as he slowly caressed her cheek in the photo. She was a bit ugly in this picture since she had gained plenty of weight after giving birth to Mackie.
But she was still tolerable for Vincent until she piled up at least ten more kilos. She became unbearably disgusting for him to fuck.
"You are truly a troublesome woman, but you should've realized that you're the only special woman in my life," Vincent said. "Maybe I can be harsh when treating you, but this is all for your own good. You're a woman, therefore, you're prone to be a cheating bitch. I'm just putting you in place."
"If I am truly cruel to you, then I will quickly flip the entire New York just to find you, and then beat the shit out of you until you're dead. Do you not see how much tolerance I give to you?" Vincent sighed. "You're marrying Mr. Vincent Gray, Chloe, you should be able to bear with the problem since you get all the benefits of being Mrs. Gray."
Vincent opened the drawer and put the framed photo inside. He checked his phone and got another text from that female Joker.
-
From: Chelsea
You're making me so nervous right now. I hope the surprise is worth it!
-
Vincent chuckled when he read it, "Oh, don't worry, the surprise will be worth it for all the troubles you've given me."
"I thought I could use you to make Chloe return, or expose her whereabouts somehow. But you seem to be more of a trouble than your worth. So let's just get this over with."
Vincent got up and grabbed his car key.
He drove his car to the nearest jewelry store. He bought a diamond ring that was the cheapest, not because he couldn't afford the most beautiful and expensive one. But because he thought Chelsea wasn't worth that much.
In fact, he wanted to just buy a faux diamond ring at the side of the street, but that was too much of a hassle for him. So he purchased the cheapest diamond ring in this random jewelry store and got it complete with a ring box befitting a proposal.
Vincent sat in his car, staring at the diamond ring in his hand. He chuckled as he found it amusing, "Chloe's wedding ring is a hundred times more expensive than this one, but she just left it in a drawer in the master bedroom before she left."
"Which is funny, because she could just sell that wedding ring and she won't be short of cash for a long time, probably for a lifetime if she can live a modest life," Vincent said. "But I don't think you'll ever find a vendor that wants to buy it. It's way too expensive for anyone to afford."
Vincent always thought that Chloe was an idiot.
All women were idiots in his eyes, but Chloe was a special kind.
She was so adamant about leaving him, but she had no plan. She just left with Mackie with no money.
"Well, that doesn't matter. Since she got herself a benefactor, an old rich man who is probably well-connected with the White House. I should praise her for being an effective whore," Vincent tried to laugh it off. But there was a brewing rage inside his heart.
No matter how much he tried to make it casual and acted as if he didn't care, he still couldn't shake off this rage whenever he imagined Chloe under another man except him.
Could you call it love? Perhaps.
But that didn't matter much for Vincent.
All he knew was that he had to get Chloe back and punish her for daring to run away.
Vincent clenched the ring in his hand, squeezing it inside his fist as he tried to curb his anger, "You will see, Chloe. You may be able to evade me. But your family can't. I will make sure to destroy everyone you love, so you will learn not to fight back against your own husband. You damned woman."
Thus, Vincent drove to the park where he was supposed to meet that stupid female Joker. He had everything planned and was certain that a stupid woman would fall for it.
**
Meanwhile, Judith and Aaron had just returned from grocery shopping. They took a cab on their way back because it was too cold, and Judith's body wouldn't survive such cold temperatures.
Aaron tried to drag the grocery upstairs because he didn't want his Gran to carry too much weight.
"Thank you for your help, Aaron," Judith said as she saw Aaron trying to remove her shoe because her back hurt when she crouched.
"Um, you don't need to cook if you're tired, Gran…." Aaron said.
"No, no, I'm fine with cooking. Your brothers must be starving as well," Judith said.
She opened the door and was greeted by the three boys eagerly waiting for them.
"Welcome back, Gran! Big bro!"
They quickly helped their Big brothers to carry the heavy grocery bag to the kitchen while Aaron slowly guided his Gran to the kitchen.
Judith didn't actually need help once she was home. She needed his guide on the road because her eyesight wasn't good anymore, especially at night.
She looked down at her oldest grandson and sighed pitifully, 'I'm sorry that you have to experience terrible things at such a young age, Aaron….'
Judith first drank a glass of warm water because of the cold outside and then started cooking for her grandsons.
Aaron helped her to prepare the plates, et cetera, while the three boys were watching TV.
Judith was busy in the kitchen cooking late dinner around nine-thirty when she heard the boys in the living room ask in a loud voice, "Mommy, where are you going? Stay with us, Gran is cooking dinner!"
Judith turned around and saw Chelsea wearing stuff as if she was ready for a night out.
"Where are you going, Chelsea?" Judith asked.
Chapter 609
"Where are you going, Chelsea?" Judith asked. "It's so cold out there."
"It's none of your business, you old bitch," Chelsea replied curtly."
"CHELSEA!" Judith snapped when she heard Chelsea could easily curse in front of her children. It wasn't the first time Chelsea did it, but Judith would always snap and yell at her for doing so.
Chelsea looked over her shoulder and scoffed, "You're going to be homeless soon. I suggest you not yell at me, and that includes all of you—" Chelsea looked down at her sons. "—if any of you dare to make a mess or noises at home, I will fucking kick all of you out or sell you to some black market organ dealer. I don't have time to take care of four little shits at the same time."
Judith was speechless, while the boys were too terrified to say anything to their mother, especially when their mother smirked while looking down at them. She was like a monster, ready to swallow them whole if they dared to make a noise. They just nodded and lowered their eyes.
"Good," Chelsea walked over to their small children and then to the front door. "You guys can eat that meat or whatever. That kind of dinner is so beneath me, ew," Chelsea said.
After all, she would be meeting with Vincent soon. She believed Vincent would bring her to a fancy restaurant, maybe fine dining. It would be a great treat for her since she had to endure eating peasants' food cooked by her mother for so long.
'Mm, Tommy also never brought me to any fine dining restaurant before. This will be the first time for me!' Chelsea thought. She almost squealed excitedly as she left her family's apartment and went downstairs.
She opened the main door, and her body shivered instantly when the cold hit her. But the energy from her sweet winter romance imagination helped her fight off the cold, and she walked to the park not far from the triple-decker apartment.
It was a small park with a few lamp posts to light up the area.
Chelsea saw only one person—a handsome man wearing a suit and long jacket to cover himself from the cold. His hand was tucked inside the pockets on each side of the jacket. He leaned on the lamp post, staring straight while snow slowly fell around him.
It was none other than Vincent Gray, the handsome man, the billionaire, the man that every woman in this world wished for in their dreams, and also the future husband of Chelsea Gray—Well, Chelsea Davis right now, but not for long.
Chelsea held her breath. Vincent Gray looked so ethereal. He truly looked like a handsome man from a movie, which made Chelsea fall in love again!
She made quick steps towards him, unable to contain her excitement about what would happen soon.
She approached Vincent, who was dazed, and then made a little surprise by hugging his arm, "Babe!"
Vincent instinctively pushed Chelsea away until she fell to the snow-piled ground, "Ah!"
Vincent frowned when he finally turned around to see who dared to touch him, and he was surprised when he saw Chelsea.
"Don't startle me like that," Vincent said.
Chelsea pouted, but there was no cuteness when the ear-to-ear scar was so grotesque, especially when highlighted by the lamppost light.
"Babe, you're so mean…." Chelsea whimpered. She raised her hand and asked, "Help me up pleaseee~."
Vincent was almost unable to hide his disgust. But he persevered in the end and smiled at her. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her up, and Chelsea used the situation to throw all her weight on him until she fell into his embrace.
"Ouch, Babe~ Why are you so naughty?" Chelsea giggled as she circled her hand around his neck and rested her head on his chest. She could feel his warmth, and it was all she needed to fight the winter.
Vincent's jaw tightened, and the veins on his temples popped as he was so angry because this filthy bitch dared to rest in his embrace. His whole body trembled underneath his suit and jacket, but again, he tried to act calm because this wouldn't be fun if he lost his temper now.
He gently pushed Chelsea away, but Chelsea hugged his neck tighter, "Let me stay like this for a while, Babe. You know it's very cold, or…." Chelsea looked up and smiled, which only made Vincent's hair stand up. "Do you want us to spend the night somewhere warmer?"
"Let me go now, or I will change my mind," Vincent said harshly. He had had enough of her and her stupidity.
But Chelsea didn't see it as harsh or a threat. She got so excited when she heard that Vincent might 'change his mind.'
'Does that mean he has everything set in his mind now? Does he want to actually propose here? OH MY GOD!' Chelsea quickly released her arm around his neck and took a step back.
She tried to keep calm, but she just couldn't, so she had that permanent smirk on her that disgusted Vincent so much.
Vincent took a deep breath first.
'Bear with it, Vincent. This won't be long. You will see some funny stuff after this,' Vincent told himself so he could continue his act.
"Chelsea…" Vincent called her name with his deep yet mellow voice. "I've been waiting for you here one hour earlier than our schedule. I… I can't shake off the nervousness, because I will meet you tonight for a special occassion."
Vincent almost snickered when he said that line because that was total bullshit. He came here ten minutes ago, but he reckoned these kinds of words would melt a stupid bitch like Chelsea.
"W—Why are you nervous? It's just me, I'm nothing special…." Chelsea said. Though she just played along because she knew that Vincent would definitely 100% propose to her here, maybe with a ring as well.
Chapter 610
"It is exactly because of you," Vincent said. "You make me... terribly nervous. You're very special in my eyes, Chelsea, maybe more than Chloe ever would."
Vincent almost spat out when he said that. Because that was the biggest lie he had ever told anyone in his entire life.
Chelsea was nothing special. She was always very average. She wasn't as smart as Chloe, nor as beautiful. She didn't have the same brightness and softness that made Chloe endearing in Vincent's eyes. The only special thing about Chelsea was how deluded and ugly she was right now.
'Well, I'm going to use her delusion anyway. It's time to show Chloe what kind of terrible thing will happen if she keeps avoiding me.'
"D--Don't say frivolous stuff. You know that I have an ugly scar right now...." Chelsea said. She kept baiting Vincent to keep praising her because she liked to get praised by the handsome and perfect man in her eyes.
She grabbed Vincent's hand and placed it on her scar, "See? I have a bad scar. I'm trying to get it fixed with plastic surgery. But it would take time, I'm so sorry, Vincent."
Chelsea could feel Vincent's hand trembling as he caressed her cheek. Chelsea thought Vincent must be furious because someone dared to hurt his beloved. It warmed her heart. It also gave Chelsea reassurance that Vincent was truly in love with her.
Though they barely had any meaningful interaction when Chloe was around, now that bitch was out of the picture, and Chelsea believed that Vincent could finally see what he had been missing out on for the past ten years.
He had been missing the beautiful woman that would make him happy for the rest of his life.
"I--It's okay. You're still the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life," Vincent said. His voice became shaky because he tried his best not to spit on this woman's face. This whole thing was too disgusting. He couldn't wait to just end it as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Chelsea took Vincent's shaky voice as a sign of love because he was too upset.
She leaned her cheek on his palm and asked, "I wish you can be more active, Vincent. I know that you love me, but I... I want more than just this non official relationship between us. It's time for you to move on and find a new woman to replace that ungrateful whore."
"I--I understand," Vincent said. He pulled his hand from her, unable to bear having to feel the weird texture of her scar. "That's why I'm here, Chelsea. I want to make us official. I want to forget Chloe."
"R--Really? You're really going to forget that whore?" Chelsea was genuinely surprised this time. She expected Vincent to at least defend Chloe a little because he seemed to be in love with Chloe for so long, and he looked so devastated when Chloe suddenly left. "I thought you loved her...."
"I did," Vincent replied. "But I've been searching for her everywhere and she is nowhere to be found. I think she just wants to leave with her new man, so I... I have to move on as well."
"YES!" Chelsea cheered out of the blue, then she quickly covered her mouth because she knew it was unladylike to do in front of a man like Vincent. "Oh, I'm sorry. I was just too excited when I heard that. I want the best for you, Vincent, that's why I'm happy for you as well."
Vincent took another deep breath to tolerate her and took something from his jacket pocket.
Chelsea almost fainted out of joy when she saw that small heart-shaped red box in his hand.
"I want us to be a thing, Chelsea," Vincent said. He opened the small box and showed a diamond ring that sparkled under the light from the lamppost.
"V--Vincent, that is..."
"Yes, it's a diamond ring," Vincent said. "This is one of a kind diamond ring, it is a hundred times more expensive than what I gave to Chloe back then. I just thought it's very befitting for a beautiful and special woman like you."
"Oh my god, I can see how special it is," Chelsea agreed. "It's a hundred times more... amazing than what Chloe has."
"Do you want it?"
"Of course! Damn, I want to wear it and show it off to everyone!"
Chelsea stared at the diamond ring with awe. Truthfully, she couldn't see the difference between that special diamond ring versus the one sold in random jewelry stores. But that was just because she had never had a diamond ring in her life before, and Tommy was too poor to afford one.
So when Vincent said this was a hundred times more expensive than what Chloe had, she just believed it because Vincent was obviously a billionaire! No billionaire bought a cheap or faux diamond!
Again, Vincent almost laughed at how ridiculously pretentious Chelsea was. She pretended to know this diamond ring was a hundred times more expensive than Chloe's just because he said so.
'At least back then, when I presented Chloe the special made ring worth millions of dollars. She just got anxious and said it was too expensive, and she was afraid to get robbed wearing it. It's very sweet in my eyes...' Vincent thought.
He didn't want to compare Chloe and Chelsea since the winner was already obvious. But he couldn't help it.
He just imagined how different Chloe was compared to her degenerate sister. If she was as stupid and deluded as Chelsea, then Vincent would never look at her.
'Ah, I can't wait to meet her again. I want to see her meek expression after so long. I miss seeing her begging to be forgiven while I kick her body on the ground. It's such a good time,' Vincent thought. He refocused at Chelsea again and smirked, 'Just a little more.'
"So, Chelsea Carlson, do you want to be my bride?"
