Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

'If only I could kill her,' Diamond thought. She asked for permission from her boss on the call. She told her about everything, and Vernon vehemently refused, much to her surprise.

-Diamond's call with Vernon-

'You can hurt her, but don't kill her. She has a strong backing of her own. You might get killed as an act of revenge from her father, and I don't want to lose my best employee,' Vernon said. 'Try to do something less risky, but with bigger reward. Try to scare or traumatize her, you can also use the information that my agent gave to your advantage. I know that you can think of something that can absolutely traumatize her.'

'Are you sure, Sir? I mean, Shailene is a threat. She might have told Vincent something that'd harm us,' Diamond said.

'No, she won't,' Vernon replied confidently. 'She has no channel whatsoever with my Big brother. She only has a channel with Dorothea. All I need to do is to eliminate that old bitch.'

'… So far there is no movement from her, maybe you should postpone your plan to eliminate her.'

'Stop overstepping your boundary, Diamond. She is my problem, just do your job.'

-End call-

'Well, I feel like he should be less hostile to Dorothea, since she doesn't seem to be causing anything dangerous these days,' Diamond thought. 'Oh, well, not my problem. Let's just focus on this one bitch first.'

Diamond waited until Shailene finished puking everything. Her appearance was unsightly now, especially since she tried to wipe her mouth with her sleeve.

The stench of her vomit filled the air, and Diamond took another step back just to get away from a disgusting woman like her.

Shailene felt nothing but dread right now. There was an extreme amount of dread filling her heart that she would rather faint.

But she couldn't. The existence of Diamond in the same room prevented her from fainting because she was afraid that Diamond would gun her down when she was unconscious.

"Look up, trash," Diamond said after she had waited long enough.

Shailene instinctively looked up to stare at Diamond. To say that she was scared was an understatement. Right now, the existence of Diamond was enough to make her piss herself.

At first, Shailene thought that Diamond was just trying to intimidate her. But maybe it was the mix of guilty conscience in her heart and how terrifying Diamond was right now. Shailene finally broke down in tears and despair.

What if Diamond snapped and killed her because Shailene reminded her so much of Carter Fallingham?

What if she decided to torture her first because she wanted to hurt someone who acted like Carter Fallingham?

Those thoughts filled Shailene's head, and she was hopeless about it.

Because no matter what she did to save herself, Diamond would always remember her as the second Carter Fallingham, so Diamond's hatred towards her was innate.

"P—Please… please I beg you…" Shailene started begging with her hoarse voice.

"For what?" Diamond raised her brow. She liked taunting this woman, just like how Shailene taunted that poor boy just because she felt like it.

"D--don't kill me. Please just let me go. I won't do it anymore…."

"Do what?" Diamond kept on pushing Shailene to admit all of her sins. To Diamond, she enjoyed the look on Shailene's face.

Her face filled with horror, and her lips trembled as she tried hard to admit her sins one by one.

"I—I won't slander Chloe again, and I won't have any contact with Dorothea anymore. I will never have any contact with the Gray family, I promise," Shailene murmured. "I—I regret what I did to that boy back then, I know I was in a bad mood and made a rash and stupid decision to say those mean things to him. I—I just didn't expect him to kill himself."

Diamond scoffed full of contempt. This woman was still trying to defend herself even in such a state, truly shameless.

"No matter how many times you claimed that you didn't mean it, the damage has already been done. That kid is dead, and I want that to be engraved in your mind forever," Diamond said. "And by the way, you still have one more sin that you haven't admitted."

Shailene was trying to remember everything she did involving her past sin to that kid named Erik and the Gray family.

She shook her head and murmured, "I—I don't think I have anything else to admit…."

Diamond smiled and gave her an order by tapping her heel on the floor twice, "Come here."

Shailene felt she was treated like a dog in front of this woman. But she realized that she wasn't the one in control right now. This woman had Shailene's biggest secret that would instantly ruin her reputation and career. As a psychologist, Shailene knew that Diamond was naturally a little fucked up in the head.

So the possibility of Diamond murdering her was still high.

Shailene swallowed her saliva as she started crawling toward Diamond. She dared not look up and stopped when she could finally see the tip of Diamond's stiletto.

"Do you still not remember your last sin?" Diamond asked, and Shailene replied by shaking her head. She genuinely didn't know what she had done wrong. "I see. Well, I'll help you to remember. Look up."

Shailene looked up, and before she could register the terrifying sight of Diamond's hateful eyes, she felt a sharp pain on her cheek.

"AHH!" Shailene shrieked when Diamond kicked her left cheek until she fell to the side. She got dizzy because Diamond kicked her hard.

"If you still don't know your sin, then let me tell you," Diamond slid one foot towards Shailene's head and nudged Shailene's face with the tip of her shoe.

"You dare to covet Vernon's love, you worthless thing. Just becuase you're in love with that equally-fucked-up man, doesn't give you the right to slander my best friend."
