Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother Chapter 596-600

Chapter 596

Vincent massaged his temple as he had a headache thinking about his evasive wife whose whereabouts were difficult to trace.

She changed Mackie’s school without notification, so she was likely trying to put a fake document for Mackie so she could study in another school, which wasn’t all that difficult when you had money.

She also blocked his number to avoid being traced and changed her car. She basically disappeared from his radar, and he didn’t like it.

He didn’t like when he wasn’t in control of everything. It made him feel itchy in his heart as if something was missing in his life.

“And the identity of her benefactor. I am yet to find out about his identity,” Vincent clicked his tongue annoyedly. “Vernon keeps sending me names, but they are definitely not the one who hides her. They all almost pissed themselves when I accused them of hiding my wife, and they begged on the floor like rats.”

“The man who dares to go so much just to hide Chloe from me must be someone with power as big as his guts,” Vincent said. He had already stopped taking suggestions from his little brother.

He knew Vernon meant well. His little brother wanted to help. But Vincent already guessed that the man who hid his wife must be someone with a higher power, maybe even a politician who was well connected with the white house.

Thus, Vincent had to tread this carefully, or else things would get even messier from now on.

Vincent closed his eyes again as he tried to rest before going to his mansion. Somehow, he felt that the mansion wasn’t comfortable anymore when Chloe wasn’t there.

It had lost its charm, and now he preferred to rest in the office to busy himself right after waking up.

“Get off my mind, you bitch,” Vincent murmured as he cursed Chloe, who kept on appearing in his mind.

Unfortunately, he didn’t get his desired sleep when he heard knocks on the door.

Knock. Knock.

Vincent frowned. He opened his eyes again and turned his head towards the door. He was annoyed because someone disturbed his sleep, “Who’s there?”

“It’s me, Sir.”

Vincent’s brows creased even deeper, “Don’t come in yet, Maria. Just tell me what’s wrong first before I let you in.”

Vincent didn’t like Secretary Maria’s presence these days. He felt that Maria had become the carrier of bad news. Whenever she knocked on that door, except during work hours, she would always come with bad news.

‘Fuck, what’s wrong this time? Is it Dorothea again? Did she do something even more fucked up? I thought I already told Nigel to freeze any command from Dorothea, so she has zero power over the Gray foundation now,’ Vincent wondered.

Secretary Maria went silent for a while before replying, “This is regarding Chloe, Sir.”

Vincent’s eyes widened, “Come in!” He said without thinking twice.

He sat straight instantly, eager to finally get a glimpse of his wife’s whereabouts, so he could regain control over that evasive bitch again after a month or so.

Secretary Maria pushed the door open. She didn’t look as happy as Vincent expected.

In fact, her expression was gloomy, as if a dark cloud was hanging above her head, and Vincent knew this news wasn’t a good one.

Vincent’s smile dissipated slowly, and he peered at Secretary Maria, “What’s wrong?”

Secretary Maria stood before her boss and said, “Sir, there is news about Chloe. But it is not a good one–no, it’s actually very terrible.”

Vincent frowned. He had plenty of bad assumptions in his head already. One of them was about Chloe, who got killed by her benefactor because he was bored of her.

Vincent scoffed as he entertained his own imagination.

Of course, he would be angry if he saw his wife’s corpse near the trash can, where she truly belonged.

But he also found it funny if he saw Chloe getting killed by his own benefactor. That would be great karma for a cheating, ungrateful bitch like her.

“Tell me then,” Vincent ordered.

Secretary Maria took out the phone from her blazer pocket and then scrolled through something before flipping the phone and showing the screen to her boss.

Vincent frowned when he saw a video that was yet to be played, but he could read the title of the video.

–

Trending: Sisters fight. Two sisters are related to Vincent Gray?!

–

“Related to me?” Vincent snatched the phone from Secretary Maria’s hand and played the video.

The first thing he saw was Chelsea Davis, that ugly woman who happened to be Chloe’s sister. She was very noticeable because the ear-to-ear scar on her cheek was highlighted in the video, and she glared at everyone like a mad woman.

Vincent was disgusted when he saw that creepy scar, complete with her bulging eyes as if it was about to pop out of their eye sockets. He always remembered how Chelsea tried to act cute and sweet. It made him vomit his guts out once because he was too grossed out.

He saw Chelsea pointing out at the woman in front of her and yelled, “Then you should blame this bitch! She is a two-faced bitch who sends someone to attack and carve this scar on me!”

Vincent’s eyes shifted to the woman facing Chelsea in the video. He didn’t even look at the woman facing the female Joker because Chelsea’s creepy scar was the highlight of the video.

However, once Vincent took a good look at the woman’s side profile in the video, his body stiffened instantly.

The woman had long chestnut hair, a ruddy complexion, a healthy body, sweet doe eyes, and thin lips that reminded Vincent of Chloe when they married that day.

Vincent had to admit that he was enamored by how beautiful Chloe was during their wedding, they were standing side by side that day, and he couldn’t help but glance at her many times to admire the beauty from her side profile.

‘And she was the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met in my life. She was perfect on our wedding day.’

Chapter 597 Vincent was dazed as he kept staring at the woman, who was obviously Chloe. But the Chloe he had known for the past ten years was either a literal whale or a skinny twig that could break anytime.

So he wasn’t used to seeing Chloe at a healthy weight and with a ruddy complexion. His mind started recalling that day when he met Chloe for the first time in high school.

She was always the school beauty, the kind of woman you couldn’t take your eyes off.

She was popular, and despite being born as a lowlife, she was about to mingle with other students. She was also top of her class, even beating Vincent in all subjects, which was a huge feat on its own because Vincent was incredibly smart academically.

Vincent was attracted to her naturally, and it wasn’t hard for him to pull her off because he was THE Vincent Gray. Who didn’t want to date him?

He thought she was an easy girl he could hook up with, and it was also true. Though Vincent didn’t admit it, it was also his first time, so both of them were taking each others’ virginity back in high school.

Chloe was just perfect, like a suit tailored just for him.

She was beautiful, smart, well-mannered, kind, and caring.

Thus, Vincent decided to prolong their date for one year, two years, three years… up to the point that he actually proposed to her when they were twenty-five.

Of course, he had to do something to kick his little brother away because Vernon started showing signs of obsession with Chloe.

‘Well, that little trick I did with Dad’s help was efficient enough to make Vernon hate his Big sis Chloe instantly. So I don’t need to worry about that kid getting too obsessed with my wife,’ Vincent thought. ‘Vernon should thank me for that. He needed to learn his place as someone lower than me.’

That wedding day… It was the day when Vernon felt something change within him.

He realized how beautiful Chloe had become. She attracted so many men that almost every man in their wedding ceremony had their eyes solely on Chloe.

Vincent realized he had to do something because one thing he learned from his late Dad was.

–

‘You need to make sure your woman is subservient to you. Women are promiscuous. They can and will cheat on you when they have the chance. So you need to break her before she breaks you first,’ Vaughn told Vincent once.

‘Don’t you see your mother? I tried breaking her so many times, but she still acts like a crazy bitch. If you want your wife to be an obedient one, you need to keep breaking her over and over until she will be completely dependent on you.’

‘But how about us, Dad?’ Vincent asked. ‘Is it okay for us to be promiscuous?’

Vaughn laughed when he heard his son’s question, ‘Foolish, of course we can! We’re men! Men have a strong libido. Of course we can have sex with any woman that we want, we are the Gray family, we have everything that a woman wants!’

-ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Thus, after that wedding day, Vincent decided to break Chloe slowly. He didn’t want his wife to cheat, so he had to break her as much as possible.

While in the process of breaking his wife, Vincent also realized that he actually developed a fetish just like his late Dad.

He liked seeing Chloe crying and begging to be spared. He liked seeing her cowering in the corner of the room like a rat, covering her head with her arms, which was a futile attempt because Vincent could just kick her body.

It was all fun and games.

Unfortunately, Chloe became ugly after she gave birth. She became super fat and could not lose weight for at least five years straight.

He immediately lost his sexual interest in her. He just couldn’t bear to have sex with an ugly bitch, so he slept around even more, to vent out his sexual drive outside.

Chloe blamed her depression, saying that she wasn’t happy, so it was difficult for her to lose weight. But Vincent beat her even harder because she was so fucking ungrateful after all the things he gave her.

Then, Chloe started to lose weight, thanks to him shaming her every day, ‘It’s an effective way for her to lose weight. She will eventually realize how ugly she was,’ he thought.

But then, she started losing weight rapidly to the point that she was nothing but skin and bones, which wasn’t something that Vincent liked, so he didn’t feel like having sex with the skinny version of his wife either.

‘I’ve endured ten years staying with an ugly woman I call as a wife. I should be getting a medal of honor at this point.’

He was lost in his own thoughts that he didn’t hear Secretary Maria calling him repeatedly.

“Sir, SIR!”

“…” Vincent finally lifted his head and stared at Maria. “What?”

“Sir, you’ve been staring at the paused video for at least thirty minutes. May I know if there is something bugging your mind?” Secretary Maria asked.

“… it’s nothing. I’ll resume watching it by myself,” Vincent said before he handed the phone back to the old secretary.

Maria accepted her phone call, but she couldn’t help to question her boss’ sudden change of behavior, “Sir, this is a very important video. We should take swift action about this, or else this will spread like a wildfire in gossip news, and even official news sites.”

“Just tell the PR team to do whatever necessary,” Vincent ordered.

“They are already doing their best, Sir. But we still need your command,” Secretary Maria insisted, but Vincent wasn’t in the mood to do anything right now. The image of Chloe on their wedding day lingered in his head, making him unable to think straight.

So he waved his hand and said, “Just leave now, Maria. I will give you a command tomorrow. I’m too exhausted to talk with you.”

Chapter 598

Secretary Maria clenched her fists. She felt that Vincent had become too lax, unbefitting for his current position.

But he was still her higher-up, and Maria had to obey the man above her. She bowed respectfully and said, “Then, I will be waiting for your command, Sir. This is a very grave situation we’re facing. Please excuse me.”

Vincent waited until the old secretary left him alone in his office and then took his phone out of pocket.

He checked Twitter and opened that top trending video again. He didn’t care about anything now except seeing his wife’s face again.

He played the video but paused right when it highlighted the side profile of his wife and then stared at it dazedly. Again, his mind started going back to the day he married Chloe and how he fell in love for the second time when they stood side by side while the pastor recited their script in front of them.

“You glanced at me, and smiled so sweetly. You’re the only woman who makes my heart beat faster, Chloe. You’re the only woman who makes me feel love….” Vincent murmured while staring at Chloe’s face in the video with eyes full of warmth, something that he rarely did.

But then, he snapped out of his daze and quickly shook his head, “Damn, why am I talking as if I’m actually in love with her? I can’t let her get into my mind. It’s dangerous if I let a woman control my mind and heart.”

Another thing that Vincent learned from his late Dad was how easy it was for a woman to enter your mind and make you act like an idiot under her order. Vincent thought that was stupid initially because he never allowed anyone to get close to him. Even with Chloe, he still had boundaries with her, enough to make him realize he wouldn’t be her stupid love slave.

He had also witnessed firsthand how love could make a man stupid.

His little brother was obviously stupidly in love with his Big sis Chloe when he was young. He acted like a dog, staring at Chloe with awe and following her everywhere.

There was a big invisible tail wagging behind him, and he would do anything his Big sis Chloe ordered. He was like a literal dog.

Which was a disgrace in Vincent’s eyes.

He would never allow himself to be manipulated by a woman, so when he realized he started feeling things for Chloe, he beat her up to show her who was the one in charge.

It was a power play that he needed to keep his heart in check.

However, he couldn’t help but wonder.

“Why do you regain your healthy weight once you’re away from me? It’s impossible for you to be sad when you’re with me, right? You’re Mrs. Gray. We have so much money that you don’t need to worry about anything. You live in a lavish mansion, and you’re married to me, the man that everybody wants.”

“Do you intend to do this because you want to get revenge on me? Because you want to show that you’re much happier without me? That’s impossible.”

“Did you gain your healthy weight because you want to hook another man?” Vincent sighed. “You know that I won’t cheat on so many women in the past if you can maintain that beauty. Don’t blame me for sleeping with a younger and prettier woman, when you can’t even take care of your own body.”ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

“Well, if you decide to return to me with your current beauty, then I will consider not beating you for leaving me. Isn’t that a good deal? You get spared once you return home with our daughter.”

After ten years of feeling cold in their marriage, Vincent felt his whole body warm again. He couldn’t wait to get Chloe back to his mansion and lock her inside.

“Maybe I should also make sure that she maintains her weight this time, so I can fuck her daily,” Vincent thought. “I got bored and tired sleeping with random women outside, maybe it’s Chloe’s time to sleep with me after ten years. Consider that a reward for regaining her beauty once more.”

Vincent calmed down after staring at Chloe’s face for more than an hour. He wanted to stare more, but maybe he should do it in his mansion instead. He wanted to compare Chloe in this video and the one in their wedding photo to see whether Chloe’s current appearance matches her old self or not.

“Well, time to work then,” Vincent said. “Let’s see what this ugly bitch Chelsea did. Maria seems so worried about this whole thing.”

Thus, Vincent pressed the lay button once more and resumed the video where he had left it off.

—

Chloe gritted her teeth and yelled at Chelsea, “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!”

—

pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ Vernon paused. He frowned when he heard Chloe yelling back at Chelsea. It had never happened before.

Usually, Chloe only cowered in fear and kept silent against her sister. She would nod to everything, and everyone was used to it, including Vincent.

“First she dared to fight back when I taught her a lesson at the Principal office, now she dared to yell back at Chelsea. I guess she has become too brave after leaving me,” Vincent complained. “This is no good. She needs to know that she’s a woman—my woman to be exact. I don’t want to keep a disobedient wife. I’ll have to teach her again later.”

Then he resumed the video.

—

Chelsea’s eyes widened even more as if it was about to pop out, and her mouth wide open as she was ready to blast Chloe with her next word. She truly looked villainous in this video.

“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!”

—

Chapter 599

Vincent’s heartbeat skipped for a second, and his jaw dropped as he could not comprehend what he had heard just now.

He pressed play again and skipped right at the end to make sure he heard it right.

–

“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!”

–

Vincent gritted his teeth. His whole body was shaking out of fury when he heard that. He clenched his phone before smashing it to the floor.

“THAT BITCH!” Vincent yelled as he vented out his anger. “She fucking dare to mention my name in public! Does she not realize how fatal that is?”

“I AM VINCENT GRAY, DO YOU NOT REALIZE HOW HEAVY THAT NAME IS?!”

Vincent’s voice echoed inside his office. All his good mood when staring at Chloe disappeared instantly, replaced by rage because Chelsea was stupid enough to say his name when she was being recorded by everyone.

“Fuck! I’ve been too lenient on that ugly bitch! I’ve been trying to be kind to her because I thought she could help me to find Chloe’s whereabouts!” Vincent clenched his fist until his whole body shook, and his face was so red out of anger. He kicked the coffee table in front of him until it flipped. He then started thrashing his office, smashing and kicking anything he could see.

“I WILL KILL THAT BITCH!”

He had never been enraged by a woman before. Even Chloe wasn’t stupid enough to use his name in public, knowing the repercussions, and she was the ACTUAL Mrs. Gray, the woman who actually had all the right to mention it.

Vincent’s chest rose up and down as he looked around his surroundings. His office had been destroyed, “Look at what that ugly woman did to me. I can’t even control my anger because of her.”

Vincent felt like a disgrace as he saw his reflection in the wall mirror in his office. He looked unsightly, with his neatly-combed hair ruffled, his usually cold face that had turned red with rage, and his eyes that looked crazy. He was embarrassed because he had lost control over that insignificant woman.

Thus, he took a deep breath and then picked up his phone from the floor.

He checked the video again and then checked the hashtag.

#VincentGrayWife

#VincentFutureWife

#VincentandJoker

#JokerLady

And he also read the comments below the video.

There were so many people laughing at him. They said he had bad taste because he’d marry a crazy, ugly female joker. They also started questioning whether the ever-loyal and loving Vincent Gray they knew all this time was just a farce because there might be a chance of him cheating on his own wife.

Vincent gritted his teeth as he held himself so he wouldn’t lash out again. He didn’t like to get emotional over a woman except for his wife.

He continued reading the comments despite his ever-growing rage and then stumbled upon one comment that almost made him explode for the second time.

–

‘Maybe both of them are his mistresses. Maybe he has a lot of women out there! I bet he cheats a lot with so many women, and the only reason why he doesn’t allow anyone to see his wife and daughter, is because they already left him long ago!’

–

“HOW DARE YOU! CHLOE WILL NEVER DARE TO LEAVE ME FOR LONG! SHE WILL COME CRAWLING BACK AND BEGGING TO BE SPARED!”

He couldn’t handle it anymore. He wasn’t used to getting slandered or gossiped about in a bad way by people.

He always had a good image that he carefully maintained for the public all this time. Everything was ruined just because that Joker lady dared to mention him during her fight as if he was her savior.

Thus, Vincent quickly searched through his contact and called Secretary Maria.

It only took one beep before Maria picked it up.

–

“Do you need something, Sir?” Secretary Maria asked.

“Where is the PR team?” Vincent asked. “You told me that they’re doing the best they could to handle this mess.”

The old secretary was relieved because it seemed that her boss already saw the full video. She actually expected Vincent to simply explode in front of her. But he had that long thirty-minute pause, staring at the phone screen dazedly, and then another hour until he finally called her and addressed the problem.

She wondered if he saw something he liked in that video because he had a soft gaze when he watched it.

‘Could it be that he actually fell in love with Chelsea?’ Maria pondered. ‘But I don’t think Vincent is blind enough to like that ugly woman.’

“Secretary Maria?” Vincent called her.

“Yes, Sir. The PR team is doing their best for damage control. They have been trying to delete every video about this problem on the internet, but some are just impossible to do because they are already too popular, and everyone is sharing them.”

“The best thing the PR team can do right now is to temporarily stop all kinds of gossip media to cover this problem. So it won’t spread even further,” Secretary Maria explained.

“YOU—BUNCH OF USELESS FUCKS!” Vincent snapped. “I PAID ALL OF YOU FOR NOTHING!”

Secretary Maria wasn’t fazed by her boss’ anger. It was natural for him to get angry over this, “I’m sorry that I can’t do much about this, Sir. It went viral in less than six hours, and the PR team is scrambling to do something about this. We’re still waiting for your command as well.”

Vincent clicked his tongue. As much as he wanted to keep yelling at her, he knew that wouldn’t change a thing. So he commanded, “Block off all the official media that wants to cover this. Try calling the head director of Twitter to delete that trending video!”

“We have done those, Sir. Twitter already deleted the trending video, but each time someone uploads it, it will explode again and again and it only makes people grow suspicious because it keeps getting taken down, making it a futile effort.”

Chapter 600

“Futile?” Vincent didn’t expect that word to come out of Secretary Maria’s mouth. She usually devised the most ingenious idea that helped him in dire times. So when Maria said that word, Vincent felt a sense of hopelessness for the first time in his life, and he didn’t like it.

“Is that all you can say? It’s futile? FUTILE?!” he yelled.

Secretary Maria sighed, “Pardon me, Sir. This issue is too big for us to cover, I recommend you to just ignore it, and tell the PR team to stop taking down the video, because it will only rouse even more suspicion on the internet.”

“You’re telling me to ignore it? Don’t you see how many people are making fun of me?!” Vincent remembered some of those comments that hurt his pride. He was so used to people praising him daily that he simply couldn’t ignore those comments from faceless people on the internet.

“It is difficult, Sir. The internet is a tricky place. We cannot control the people’s mind. All we can do is to shift the topic so they will have a different topic to talk about, but Chelsea’s face is just far too interesting so they just can’t stop talking about it,” Secretary Maria patiently explained this whole thing to her boss, knowing that her boss wasn’t used to see himself getting slandered in public.

Vincent scoffed, “You’re no different than those useless fucks I hire in the PR team.”

“… pardon my inability, Sir.”

“Tsk, then what should I do other than ignoring this?”

“…” Maria paused for a while before giving out a sinister suggestion, “Find that woman, and do something to her. I can do it for you, Sir.”

“Chelsea?”

“Yes, she is the center of this whole thing. If you don’t shut her up as soon as possible, she might start getting interviewed left and right, so you need to do something before that happens,” Maria said. “Because you know she will say something stupid that will only put the spotlight on you for a long time.”

“This spotlight is bad for you and the company, Sir. I can clean her life for you, including everyone in her family except Chloe, of course,” Maria suggested herself, knowing how efficient the old secretary was at her job. “I will do anything to keep the company running.”

“Chelsea…” Vincent murmured that bitch name. Secretary Maria was right. Chelsea was the one who started everything. If she hadn’t said a thing about him, then everything would never start guessing about his relationship with both of them.

“You’re right, Maria. If I allow Chelsea to keep living, she will eventually get enough exposure to get interviewed, or start making shit up on social media. We have to take her down as soon as possible.”

“I can do that, Sir. I can clean her family easily,” Maria said.

“No, I don’t want to kill her,” Vincent refused. “I have a better way to do this, actually.”

“Are you sure, Sir? I see that she seems to be unhinged, so the only way to shut her up is to kill her,” Maria reasoned. “We have to do this swiftly, Sir.”

“Yes, I know, and I don’t need to kill her just to prove a point that she’s crazy,” Vincent had a bad smile as he started forming a malicious plan in his head. He never spared pity for anyone except his wife, so Chloe should be thankful that he hadn’t done anything too dangerous—except just a simple beating and humiliation to her for the past ten years.

“What are you going to do, Sir?”

“I will tell you later. You don’t need to worry about Chelsea,” Vincent said. “But I don’t want to hear you say that everything is futile, and I should just ignore the bad comments. I fucking hire those PR team to handle these!”

“… pardon my words, Sir. But do you have another way for us to tackle this problem? The PR team has been doing their best, and I’m not familiar with the internet enough to give a proper solution.”

“I’ll think about it first,” Vincent said. He also had to admit that he got no solution for this whole thing, but he would never allow those faceless people on the internet to talk shit about him. “Since you said taking down the video is futile, then let them be. Try to stir up something big enough in the celebrity circle so people’s attention can be shifted.”

“We will try our best, Sir.”

“Good, I will have to meet with that ugly female joker tonight. I don’t want to wait,” Vincent said.

Secretary Maria was relieved that her boss quickly decided to eliminate that ugly female joker Chelsea. She worried he would go soft just because Chelsea was Chloe’s sister.

After all, it wasn’t difficult to see him getting all mushy. Just look at how inefficient he was in tackling this Chloe problem.

He wouldn’t even allow Maria to just drag Chloe by her hair and throw her back into the mansion, something that Maria could easily do when Mackenzie was still in that school.

‘Now that Chloe has successfully transferred her daughter away, it becomes awfully difficult for us to track them down,’ Maria complained in her heart.

“Please handle that ugly woman as soon as possible, Sir. The company’s future lay in your hand,” Secretary Maria reminded, ensuring that Vincent didn’t forget his role as the CEO of Gray’s century-old businesses.

“Yeah, yeah, I understand.”

Beep.

—

Vincent finally let out a relieved sigh after he called Secretary Maria.

Though he was yet to get a proper solution to his problem, at least he knew what to do next: eliminate Chelsea Davis.

Vincent’s smirk grew deeper as he had a glimpse of what would happen next, “I wonder if I should kill that old woman too. Or maybe I should just keep her hostage. I don’t think Chloe has enough sympathy for her sister anymore, but she still has one for her poor mother, right?”
