Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother



Diamond got a text back from her boss not long after;

—

From: Mr. Phoenix Gray

Good, I'm going to have a conversation with Vincent's ex-slut. Don't worry. I got it all covered from now. 

You can go back to your home and rest, Diamond.

"Vincent's ex-slut?" Diamond's eyes peered suspiciously. She tried to remember all of Vincent's ex-slut, since she had gathered that information before. 

None of them had an important background. Most of them were just a bunch of beautiful, young, white girls around Diamond's age that came to New York with a big dream of becoming something. 

But they ended up broke and desperate after a while.

Of course, the idea of becoming Vincent Gray's woman was a dream come true. Who wouldn't want a rich and handsome sugar daddy, after all?

"Hmm, none of them are important enough, but Priscilla is the longest to stay with him. She's been with Vincent for seven years. He picked her up since she was a freshman in university and basically banged her for seven years, giving all the promises that everything would be alright and he would divorce Chloe and marry Priscilla," Diamond recalled. "Well, who would've expected that you cannot take a man's word for granted, and she got ditched instead?"

"But, I don't think Mr. Phoenix Gray will meet her, no way, right?" Diamond asked herself. "What's the point of meeting Priscilla? Vincent ditched her already, and Vincent will never take something that he already ditched."

Diamond didn't know what was going on in her Boss' mind, but all she could do was trust that he made the best judgment, "Oh well, I'll just pray that he doesn't screw things up. We're so close to getting Chloe's freedom, I will do my best for her."

Meanwhile, Vernon parked his car in the parking lot of a Walmart. He already promised to meet that woman in person and private while on her lunch break.

Vernon was surprised when she told him about her new workplace. It was quite funny because she actually believed that she would become the next Mrs. Gray, while in actuality, she was just one of Vincent's used condoms. She might stay the longest, but she could stay that long as his main condom because Vincent was too happy screwing over Chloe's life, so he didn't care which woman was on his side as long as Chloe was locked inside the house forever. 

Vernon leaned his head on the car window, staring at the snowstorm in front of him and wondering, "She—and many other young women, don't realize there is a big reason why Vincent hasn't divorced Chloe yet despite his constant bullying and cold behavior towards her."

"Vincent is very similar to our late Dad. He likes seeing women he love becoming hysterical and acting mad, so he would always be the one in control," Vernon said. Naturally, he also knew what Vaughn did to Dorothea when he was just a kid.

Vaughn beat Dorothea many times and laughed at her each time she turned hysterical. Vaughn would taunt Dorothea until she became half crazy, just to make sure that Dorothea was in check. 

So Dorothea fought all of her husband's torment by drinking excessively and taking drugs when she was young. 

How did Vernon know all of this?

Well, because he witnessed everything right in front of his eyes. Though Vaughn was decent enough not to exhibit his sex scene with other women in front of Dorothea, he didn't even hesitate to beat Dorothea in front of Vernon before. 

Of course, Vernon did nothing back then. He didn't even try defending Dorothea back then because he hated his mother. 

Dorothea unleashed her fury and frustration at him, beating him with whatever bottle of alcohol she had in her hand. So Vernon thought this was a little revenge for what she did to him. It was a punishment for his bad mother because now she was beaten by the devil, aka his Dad. 

That was why he had a hard time accepting Dorothea despite the old woman's efforts.

Because in Vernon's childhood memory, Dorothea was an even bigger monster than Vaughn. Vaughn tormented him as well, but he never hit him, unlike Dorothea, who unleashed everything on him.

As he grew older, he knew that Dorothea was in too much depression because of Vaughn.

He also knew that he was the product of a rape. 

Vaughn raped Dorothea despite her refusal and cry for help, and Dorothea ended up hating him once he was born.

It was all coming together like pieces of a puzzle.

But it was still too hard to erase his resentment towards his mother.

"It was hell," Vernon murmured. "I was living in hell for so long. I can't believe I turned all right after that. Thanks to Chloe, of course."

Vernon knew that he kept reminiscing about the past. But that past was what shaped him now.

Before meeting with Chloe, he thought he was destined to live in hell. His heart was so cold and dead. No matter how many smiles he threw at every party the Gray family held, the Young Master of the Gray family never saw them as family. He saw everyone in those parties as pigs he could slaughter once he got older because everyone in his family deserved to rot in hell for all the bad things they did. 

Until he met Chloe.

Everything about her was beautiful. Not only her face but her heart was truly a beauty that you would never find anywhere else.

Thus, Vernon wanted her. He wanted her so badly that he didn't care if he had overstepped his boundary because Chloe was already Vincent's fiancé. All he cared about was that he had to obtain Chloe's love, so they would be together.

He knew he'd go insane without Chloe by his side.

'Which I did,' Vernon admitted. 'I did go insane for ten years of her absence. So I will do absolutely everything for her to stay with me.
