Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

"Okay! See you later, Mommy!"

Chloe waved to her daughter until she entered the gate and joined the rest of her friends. Her smile faltered completely, and she closed the car door.

It was already difficult for her to talk about the issue of her separation from Mackie, but as time went on, she knew she couldn't hide this for too long.

"Maybe I don't handle this correctly…." Chloe said. "I should've been more firm and told her slowly about the separation between Vincent and me."

'',

"But I just don't have the heart to see her crying because she would be separated from her Daddy. And there is no way I'll let her stay with Vincent."

Amidst her uncertainty, she tried to calm down. She convinced herself, "Chloe, you can't let him see Mackie, at least not until Vincent has signed the divorce paper and the divorce has been finalized."

Vernon was on his way to his office when he got an idea. He called his big brother, and they were connected after a few beeps;

—

"Morning, big brother!"

"Huh? Ah… Yeah, Vernon, what is it?" Vincent asked. He yawned a few times as he just woke up from a nightmare.

What kind of nightmare?

It was a nightmare where he saw Chloe living a happy life, but without him in the picture. It was so stupid because he saw Chloe smiling and laughing with this new man whose face was undescribable to Vincent.

It was a stupid dream, but Vincent still counts it as a nightmare.

"Where are you now? Let's have brunch together!"

"Oh… I just woke up. I'm on my bed right now," Vincent replied. Usually, when one of his business partners asked him to come together for brunch, he'd refuse unless there was a business deal between them.

But Vernon wasn't just a business partner. He was his little brother. So Vincent asked, "I'll join brunch with you, but can you wait a while? I need to get ready first."

"Ah, no need, big brother! I'll just come to your mansion!" Vernon replied.

"That's…" Vincent hesitated. He didn't want Vernon to see the family pictures of him and Chloe. Because he didn't want to look pathetic in front of his big brother, to be keeping the family pictures of a woman who left you— that was a whole new level of shame.

"It's fine, big brother! We can go together to have brunch! I'm on my way!"

BEEP.

Vernon chuckled when he heard the hesitation in his big brother's tone. He must've felt ashamed to show his mansion without his wife inside.

But that wasn't his problem. He just wanted to investigate his big brother and sister-in-law's life when he wasn't around.

"They must have lots of fun times together while I'm away from their life. How lucky," Vernon said. He pressed the gas pedal, and the car sped up. "Too bad I'm not going to let this off."

**

Vincent sighed when Vernon hung up the call. Though he didn't want Vernon to come, he still couldn't refuse his little brother's request.

So he would be here to check on everything that Chloe had left, "This is pathetic, Vincent Gray. You're the current Master of the Gray family, and you let a woman humiliate you like this? You should be the first one in the family to experience this."

Vincent got up from the bed, washed his face, and shaved his stubble. He wanted to be as presentable as possible in front of his little brother.

After all, he was the Master of the Gray family, and Vincent looked up to him for everything. He didn't want to disappoint that kid.

"If only Chloe is here, she can act like a good, submissive little wife, and everything will be perfect again. That bitch has issues."

**

Vincent already notified the security to open the gate for Vernon's car, so he just passed through the security check.

Vernon looked around the mansion as he drove to the front porch. This mansion wasn't as grandiose as the main Gray mansion. It could be counted as a small mansion, in fact. But it was understandable because this was a private mansion that rarely hosted any party since all parties regarding the Gray family would always use the Gray mansion.

Besides, they only had one child, and this place had the best security in New York. It was most logical to buy this mansion.

But still, for the scale of 'Vincent Gray' the billionaire. The size of the mansion was a joke.

"Heh, this kind of mansion is easy for me to buy. I don't know what's the deal with my sister-in-law's arrogance. It's not like she lives in a castle."

Vernon parked his car on the front porch and saw the wide-open main door. It seemed that his big brother had expected his arrival.

He saw a few maids were still busy cleaning, and they bowed their heads respectfully when Vernon passed them.

Though, he also saw one or two maids enamored by his looks, which had always been a regular sight for Vernon.

But what surprised him was the lack of a man in the mansion.

Other than the security guard. He only saw many maids but no butler. Even the gardener outside was a female gardener. Which made him wonder if this was just a coincidence or a preference.

Two maids stopped Vernon on his track as they bowed politely at the same time;

"Good morning, Mr. Phoenix Gray. Mr. Gray told us to escort you to his office. Please follow us."

"Hm," Vernon nodded. He followed the maids and passed the living room. Surprisingly, he didn't see many expensive items in the living room. Honestly, this whole mansion didn't have much expensive stuff he imagined.

Even without the expensive furniture, it still had its own homey charm, with many small knick-knacks that regular people bought from dollar stores. Even the sofa wasn't a brand name. Yet, it looked comfortable.

There was also a big framed photo of the family right on top of the TV. Lastly, Vernon also noticed a cheap carpet in front of the TV, definitely less than 5 grand.

'This place reeks of her touch.'
