Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother



Meyer went silent while listening to his female boss' story. He didn't want to react, but curiosity got her when Mrs. Phoenix Gray said his scary boss was cute when he was young. 

"Does that mean he also had a good heart like Miss Mackenzie when he was young, Ma'am?" Meyer asked. 

"Oh, he was a good child!" Chloe replied without hesitation. "He was very cute and had a good heart. He would follow me around, even insisting on staying with me when I was in the bathroom. He would always wait for me to return to that mansion, and he'd be enthusiastic whenever I said that I would cook for him."

Chloe sighed. 

She loved the current Vernon. He had grown into a handsome and powerful man. But that also made him very different from the cute Little Vernon. 

It was as if they were two different people in one body. 

Meyer listened to Mrs. Phoenix Gray's story, and the more he listened to it, the more he realized that his boss must've developed his obsession when he was very young.

Chloe recalled her story with Little Vernon as if it was a very sweet memory, and maybe it was for her because Chloe had no malicious or perverted intention towards Vernon when caring for him.

She simply saw him as a little brother that she needed to take care of, and she seemed to do a great job.

Too good that the said 'little brother' had developed an obsession with her.

'I feel like, if she doesn't see things with her rose-colored glasses. She would realize that her Little Vernon is a little scary for a kid,' Meyer thought. 'But it's not my right to say things like that. I just hope that they can stay together for a very long time. They seem to fit each other very well.'

"Alright, it's time to leave now, Meyer," Chloe said. "Can you drive me to the office? I want to visit Vernon today."

"Sure, Ma'am. But please, sit at the back, Mr. Phoenix Gray will kill me if he sees us sitting side by side like this," Meyer mentioned. He shuddered as he imagined how scary his boss could be when he was enraged.

Chloe laughed, but she followed his request to sit at the back, and they went to Vernon's office. 

**

Diamond was busy with her job, as always. Being Vernon's secretary wasn't easy, but she still enjoyed it because the pay was amazing, and she was working with her favorite people.

And one of those favorite people was her homegirl who just walked out of the elevator.

"CHLOE!" Diamond stood up from her chair and rushed to hug her homegirl. "Oh my God, it's been a while! How are you doing, Gurl?"

Chloe laughed and hugged back.

Indeed, it had been a while since the last time they met in person because of the situation revolving Vincent and Maria and the concern of their safety.

They did plenty of video calls but couldn't meet in person because Diamond was still busy with so many things to do in the office.

After all, Vernon didn't want to miss the golden opportunity of taking control of almost everything when the Gray company was under fire. So many people were boycotting their products, and so many also mocked Vincent for being a liar. 

The public image that Vincent had painstakingly tried to build over the years was destroyed in less than an hour because of that press conference. 

And Chloe felt nothing but joy.

She was so happy that she could finally go out of the apartment and do things such as grocery shopping, sending her kids to school, assigning the other boys to preschool, and shopping in a mall with Dorothea.

And the most important one;

Coming to the office to support her soon-to-be husband. 

It was a freedom that she never knew she needed, and now she was finally a free woman.

Well, at least halfway. She still needed to get an official divorce from Vincent, which shouldn't take long since he was in a bad state right now.

'We need to make sure that Vincent can't fight back once you filed for divorce in court. So everything will be smooth sailing, and I can marry you as soon as possible,' Vernon said as he tried to assure her a few nights ago.

"How have you been, Diamond? I know that Vernon must've given you a lot of work to do. I'm sorry that I can't be of much help, but you should tell me if you need something. I will try my best to help, okay?"

"Ah, I'm doing fine, gurl," Diamond giggled. "Well, yes, it's very hectic in the office. But Mr. Phoenix Gray isn't that evil anymore. He allows me to leave when it's time to clock out, and he gives me a bonus, a lot of bonus enough for me to live comfortably for decades to come if I decide to retire early."

Chloe got worried when Diamond mentioned retiring early. She asked, "T—Then, are you going to retire early?"

"Eh, of course not! I enjoy working in the office despite all the hectic schedule!" Diamond giggled. "Don't worry, Chloe. Even if I want to retire early, I will make sure that you're still my best friend."

Chloe's cheeks reddened. She felt shy because this was the first time someone truly wanted her as a best friend.

She had plenty of friends before she married Vincent but lost them all once Vincent began restricting almost everything, including her phone, to the point that she had no friends and was estranged from her family.

Nobody wanted to reach out back then, so she was glad Diamond took their friendship seriously.

They hugged long before Diamond said, "By the way, you should surprise Mr. Phoenix Gray right now. He is exhausted with so many things to do, and your support will be very helpful."

"O—Okay, I will talk to you later, Diamond," Chloe said. "How about we sit and talk in the Starbucks downstairs?"

"Sure! Now go and meet with him first. He has been waiting for you," Diamond said.

Chloe nodded and entered the office without knocking since it was supposed to be a surprise.

"I don't need another coffee, Diamond. I'll call you again if I need one," Vernon said with his eyes still on the document. He was in full focus because he didn't want to miss anything while dealing with Vincent's company. 

Chloe said nothing but continued walking to approach Vernon until she stood right next to him. 

Vernon clicked his tongue. He put his document down and said, "You're too close, Diamond. The only woman who can do that is Chlo—"

Vernon lifted his head, and his eyes widened when he saw his angel smiling. 

Chloe had her usual gentle and loving smile at Vernon and said, "Good morning, Mr. Phoenix Gray. Do you want me to make you a coffee?"

"—CHLOE!" Vernon got up and opened his arm to hug Chloe immediately. 

Chloe giggled, but her giggle soon disappeared when Vernon began to lift her easily like a child and sat her on the desk. 

He put his hands on each side of her thighs and asked, "Are you here to surprise me?"

Chloe nodded, "I know you've been working hard. So I thought that my presence would help. If there is something I can do, just tell me!"

"Well, since you are here, then let me get my daily dose of vitamin C."

"Vitamin C? Do you want me to bring you fruits—" Chloe was stunned when Vernon suddenly kissed her. His kiss was gentle at first, but as he began to kiss her lips more and more, Chloe began to feel it, and she closed her eyes in response.

Vernon wrapped his arms around her waist while Chloe draped her arms on his broad shoulder. 

Their kiss turned hot, but Vernon ended it abruptly when Chloe wanted to do more. 

"Ah—" Chloe was at a loss while staring at Vernon. "You don't want it now?"

"I do, but I still have so many things to do. I don't want to think about anything but you when we do it," Vernon replied. "Besides, I already got my Vitamin C. Vitamin Chloe, hahahah!" 

Chloe's cheeks reddened, and she scolded, "Bad boy, you really know how to talk sweet."

"Anyway, since you are here, then I also have good news for you," Vernon said. "I just got an update about Vincent. He just woke up from his whole week of coma, and he is currently having trouble making a difference between reality and imagination."

"It seems that what you did to him during the press conference was a huge blow, huge enough to shock him until he can't accept reality," Vernon said. "In short, it will take a while for him to truly return to normal, if that's even possible right now."
