Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

"He needs to stop playing around, or the company will go downhill just because of one woman," Maria said. "I also have to watch over that little brother, Vernon Phoenix Gray."

Maria knew that Vincent loved his little brother so much he was even willing to lose some money just for Vernon's small project.

But Maria was an old player and knew that Vernon wasn't a simple man.

In fact, she thought that guy was very ambitious and got the vibe of the young Mr. Vaughn Gray; Dangerous, ambitious, and reckless.

Maria didn't have anything against Vernon, "But I dedicated my work and my life to the Gray company. So I am obliged to help Vincent-- the real Master of Gray family, not a second son that's unfavored by everyone."

Maria was about to leave when the coffee shop door opened.

Her son came out of the coffee shop and asked leisurely, "That woman is Mr. Gray's wife, right, Mom?"

"Yes, she is," Maria said. Despite Chloe running away and refusing to return, she was still Vincent's legally wedded wife. "Why do you ask?"

"I see..." Maria's son, who was in his early thirties, smirked as he stared at the coffee on the table. "I was just a little curious. I saw her and was amazed by her beauty. She's so thin but still has that sweet face."

"Mom, I heard from the conversations between you two, that she is running away from Mr. Gray, right?" Maria's son asked. "I wonder if she's free to... you know~."

"Don't," Maria warned. "Mr. Gray might be a playboy outside. But he is extremely possessive of her. He will do anything to ruin your life. So better not play with fire."

"That is all for the meeting today, and I expect this project can be executed perfectly," Vernon said in front of the executives for the project between him and his Big brother.

Everyone clapped for him after he finished the meeting. They were amazed by Mr. Phoenix Gray's charisma, careful preparation, and execution.

He was able to develop a project from Mr. Vincent Gray without a flaw, even getting praise from him.

Vincent had always been well known to be a perfectionist and ruthless, so for Vernon to get praise meant he was doing an amazing job.

The executives left the meeting room until only Vernon, Diamond, and Vincent were inside.

Vernon signaled Diamond to leave for the sake of her safety, thus leaving the two brothers.

Vincent approached his little brother first and patted his shoulder, "You did great, Vernon. This project will be a big success."

The confident Vernon turned sheepish in front of his Big brother, "Thank you, Big bro. I just don't want to disappoint you...."

"Hahaha! What are you saying? You're my pride!" Vincent proclaimed. He was truly proud of his little brother.

Vernon grew up as a very charismatic and clever young man worthy of the Gray surname.

"You're just like me when I was young," Vincent said. "Keep working hard, and you'll be on my level eventually."

"Thank you, Big brother, but I dare not wish for too much. You're much better than me...." Vernon continued acting reluctantly, and his meek attitude brought Vincent even more joy.

"Well, that's true, I am much better than you. But don't worry about it. You have me-- your Big brother. I will always help you in case you need something,"

They continued talking about the project when Vincent got a sudden call.

Vincent checked the caller and frowned, "Secretary Maria? Is there something wrong in the office?"

Vincent picked up the call in front of his little brother. He thought that Vernon was his little bro anyway, so there was no need to be careful with him.

--

"What is it?" Vincent asked straight to the point, feeling annoyed that his time got interrupted by this old hag.

"Sir, I have something for you to see, it's a voice and video recording," Maria said on the call.

"A video recording? Of what?"

"Of Mrs. Chloe Gray, Sir. I met her today," Maria added. "I have her recording in the office, you're free to see it."

"What?!" Vincent's eyes widened. "What kind of recording? Where did you meet her? I never told you to meet her, you fucking old hag!"

Vernon was surprised by his Big bro's sudden hostility. He watched his Big bro's expression intently, trying to make sense of the conversation on his phone.

Too bad it wasn't on loudspeaker, so he couldn't eavesdrop.

"I have my own reason, Sir. You're free to check the recording first, then you might scold or even punish me later," Maria said calmly. Though she knew that Vincent wouldn't do it.

As much as they disliked each other, Maria was still Gray's company's most competent senior secretary. Vincent was stuck with her for a long time until he could find a replacement that wasn't only using her pussy to work under Vincent.

"Didn't I tell you not to meddle with my private matter? I have my fucking reason, you dying old witch!" Vincent continued yelling. But Maria was still nonchalant about it. It wasn't the first time Mr. Gray was abusive to her and his staff anyway.

"It has happened, Sir. I will be waiting in the office."

"Grrh!"

Beep.

Vincent hung up the call. He clenched his phone as he tried to curb some of his anger.

He hated it when someone meddled with his private business, especially when it involved Chloe.

Chloe was his property. Nobody should be able to touch or even talk to her without his permission.

Vernon was curious about what the call was all about since it instantly ruined the good mood that his Big brother had.

Thus, he asked lightly, "What's wrong, Big bro? You seem angry about something."

Vincent darted his eyes at his little brother and replied, "My old secretary met with Chloe this morning. I don't know what she did, but I will strangle the fuck out of her life if she dared to cross the line."
