Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother



"Sit, Nigel. I want to talk to you about a few things," Dorothea said. 

Nigel was hesitant initially, but he obliged in the end and sat directly facing Madam Gray, believing that Madam Gray had no hostile intention towards him. 

He stared at Madam Gray for a while and realized how much had changed after she disappeared.

She looked older, weaker, and softer, but at the same time, she looked like she was at peace. 

Nigel remembered how cold and indifferent Madam Gray was before. She looked youthful and strong despite her age, but she was miserable. So, Nigel had to admit this old woman in front of him looked more pleasant to the eyes compared to the previous Madam Gray. 

Nigel glanced at Mr. Phoenix Gray on the CEO's desk, busy reading some documents, acting as if Nigel and Madam Gray were invisible. 

"There are two topics that I want to talk about with you," Dorothea said. She chuckled as she noticed Nigel's restlessness, "Don't worry, you won't get fired by my son. I've requested that you continue to work here, but not within your current position."

"Nigel, I know that you don't like working with Vincent before, and I'm sure your calling is not within this company. That's why I'm going to hire you as the manager of a new foundation," Dorothea said.

"A new foundation?"

"Yes, since the Gray Foundation will disband soon, I plan to build a new one, and I want you to manage everything in that new foundation. Of course, I will be watching over your activity there," Dorothea said as a subtle warning, making sure that Nigel was still the same loyal coworker of hers. 

Nigel was still trying to process what was currently happening. The idea of Madam Gray still alive and well was enough to put him into shock, and now Madam Gray asked him to manage a new foundation.

Of course, he wanted it.

His true calling had always been about charity work. He liked helping people, and managing a charity foundation was his most favored field. 

"That would be an honor for me, Madam," Nigel said. "And yes, you're right, I don't enjoy working in this position. I prefer to work in the charity foundation like before…"

"That's good. Then I will trust you to manage this new foundation."

"But what is the name, Ma'am? And which kind of charity work will we work on this time?"

"Oh, we will continue funding the same charity as the Gray Foundation. On top of that, we will also fund the impoverished, mostly single mothers with children and no child support from their husbands," Dorothea replied. "About the name…"

Dorothea looked at Vernon, who finally opened his mouth, "Clover Foundation," he replied nonchalantly. "It's her idea, not mine, by the way."

Dorothea smiled, "Yes, it's Clover Foundation, derived from the name of the two founders, Chloe and Vernon. Right, Vernon?"

Vernon's cheeks reddened a little. He always thought the name was a bit tacky. He preferred a cooler name, like his company's name, Golden Star, but Clover Foundation was Chloe's idea, so he didn't dare to say no. 

"Clover Foundation…" Nigel murmured. He was pondering about something for a while. 

As he expected, Vernon Phoenix Gray must be the one who hid Mrs. Chloe Gray the whole time. After all, for someone to evade Vincent Gray's clutch and stop any manhunt, that man needed to be stronger than Vincent and had a lot more influence than him.

New York might be filled with plenty of billionaires, but none would be willing to take Chloe, Vincent's wife. It was too much of a risk.

So that mysterious man who became her benefactor must be madly in love with her, mad enough to risk everything for that woman, and nobody except Vernon Phoenix Gray could do that. 

Vernon wasn't worried about someone else finding out about his relationship with Chloe. He won against Vincent, and there was nothing to hide anymore. 

In fact, Nigel could call Vincent right now and tell him about everything, and Vernon wouldn't even budge. 

Dorothea trusted Nigel enough for him to be on their side after knowing the truth, that's why she made it casual, to signify that Vernon and Chloe had been in love for a while now, and it wasn't a salacious scandal.

"So, what do you think, Nigel? Can you work in this foundation?" Dorothea asked. "Or maybe you're too shocked after realizing that Chloe is with Vernon now?" 

"Not at all, Madam. I guessed about Mr. Phoenix Gray and Mrs. Gray," Nigel said. "I just think that someone with a very dangerous position as Mrs. Gray needs an equally powerful man to protect her, and I guess it narrows down to Mr. Phoenix Gray."

"Do not worry, Madam, Sir, I won't tell this to Mr. Gray," Nigel said. "After all, I've dedicated my work to the Gray company and foundation, not him."

"That's good. I know you can be trusted, Nigel," Dorothea said. "So? What's your final answer?"

"I will gladly work there, Madam. It is my greatest pleasure to work with you. Thank you for giving me a second chance," Nigel replied.

"Oh, you should thank my daughter-in-law instead. She's the one who accepts my proposal about building a new charity foundation and persuades my son for it," Dorothea giggled, much to Vernon's embarrassment.

"Thank you so much, Sir. I will not disappoint," Nigel bowed respectfully at Vernon. 

Vernon replied with a simple nod but then added, "Your job here is not done yet. Dorothea still has something else to say."

"That's right. I also have a favor to ask you, Nigel," Dorothea said. 

"Whatever it is, I will do it, Madam," Nigel said piously towards the old lady. "My loyalty is for you, not for Mr. Gray," he added as he wanted to assure Madam Gray about where he poured his dedication. 

"That's relieving to hear," Dorothea said. "Well, I want to discuss about the inheritance."
