Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

"He also said he didn't beat me too hard, so I should stop overreacting…."

Diamond covered her mouth as she tried not to gasp too much. She had been wondering why Chloe hid so much of the abuse she had experienced.

Every time Diamond asked, Chloe often just glazed at the fact that her ex-husband just beat her as if it was nothing serious.

This wasn't 'just beat her.' This was real torture!

Vincent Gray tortured her!

It was so fucked up when she realized that Chloe was so used to the abuse she didn't even try to cry anymore.

Diamond gently supported Chloe's hand on top of hers, so Diamond could check them without hurting Chloe.

She shook her head out of disbelief, "Chloe, let's go to the hospital. You can't fix this alone, you need to go to the ER!"

Chloe pulled her hand and tried to hide it behind her back, "It's nothing much. I think I just need to dip it in a bowl of ice for a while and it'll return to normal."

"He crushed your joints! You won't return normal because of fucking ICE!" Diamond grew frustrated with Chloe's reluctance, so she grabbed Chloe's wrist again to lift her hands up, showing Chloe how bad her hands were.

But before she could say a thing, the door was suddenly slammed open.

Vernon stood right at the doorway, his eyes darted and focused on Chloe. He could see all the bruises around her body in just a second.

Her face had plenty of bruises, but her hands were swollen so bad it didn't look slender anymore.

His rage shot up the next second, and he turned around, ready to find his Big brother.

"I WILL KILL THAT FUCKER!"

Chloe and Diamond panicked. They rushed towards Vernon. Diamond quickly blocked Vernon at the entrance while Chloe hugged him from behind.
"OUT OF MY WAY!" Vernon shoved Diamond to the side, but he couldn't walk as Chloe was still hugging him from behind, and he for sure didn't want to hurt her even more.

Diamond quickly recovered and stood in front of her boss again. She flinched when Vernon glared at her, but she stood still as she knew that Chloe was also trying her best to hold Vernon.

Vernon grew frustrated by this. His rage was uncontrollable, and he knew what he could do to appease his fury.

And that was to beat the shit out of his Big brother.

"Vernon, don't!" Chloe yelled, trying to stop him as well. She wrapped her hands around his stomach, trying to pull him back into the office.

"WHY ARE YOU PROTECTING HIM? DON'T YOU SEE HOW BAD YOU LOOK?!" Vernon's voice continued thundering around the office that it was practically impossible for anyone not to hear his voice.

"I'm protecting you!" Chloe yelled. "I don't want you to get hurt, please stop!"

"I WILL JUST KILL HIM, THEN EVERYTHING WILL BE OVER!"

"NO!" Chloe grew increasingly desperate. She tried to reason with Vernon, but it didn't seem to work. "I don't want you to go to jail!"

"I DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT JAIL!"

Amidst the chaos, a little girl sitting on the sofa was stunned when she saw her raging Uncle. He had never been this angry before. Even when he fought with Mommy, he never roared like this.

So that scared her so much she started calling his name, "U—Uncle…."

Everyone's attention quickly shifted to the little girl trembling and getting pale out of fear.

They went silent instantly, including Vernon, who was screaming like a madman before.

Mackie gulped as her Uncle's scary eyes glared at her. She saw how bad Daddy beat Mommy in the mansion before.

He would be screaming at her, but he was never as scary as angry Uncle right now.

So she thought… Uncle would beat Mommy too…

Mackie gathered her courage and jumped from the sofa. Her little feet trembled, but she walked towards her Uncle, who glared silently at her, waiting for what this little girl was about to do next.

Mackie raised her small hands and tried to hit her Uncle's strong thigh, "U—Uncle, don't get angry! You're scaring Mommy!"



…

"Uncle, stop being angry! Mommy will cry again! Daddy already beat Mommy today!"

…

The situation was tense, and Chloe quickly released her arm around Vernon and covered for her daughter instead. She hugged Mackie and looked over her shoulder, looking up at Vernon, who glared at the mother-daughter pair.

She was bruised, beaten, and obviously in so much pain. But she still decided to shield Mackie, afraid that Vernon might do something.

She believed that Vernon wouldn't hurt Mackie, but he was in so much blind rage she was afraid that he might lose control over himself.

…

…

Vernon clenched his fist. He was repressing so much anger that his veins popped around his neck.

But he turned around and tried to speak in a calmer voice at Mackie, "I won't beat your Mommy. But I need to talk to her. Come in, Chloe."

Vernon walked into his office and stood solemnly near the sofa. He said nothing, but his eyes looked straight, not wanting to look at Chloe.

Chloe slowly released her daughter and said, "You should stay here with Diamond, okay? Mommy will talk to Uncle first."

After witnessing what happened today, Mackie was afraid Uncle would do the same as Daddy did.

Mommy kept saying that getting beaten by Daddy was okay, but she would never believe it anymore.

Because she was also beaten by her bullies, which hurt so bad, she fought back until the bullies were afraid of her.

But Mommy never fought back, so Daddy never stopped.

"Mommy, will you be alright?" Mackie asked worriedly. "Mommy, it must hurt. Mackie got beaten once, and it hurts. I don't want you to get beaten by Uncle too…."

Chloe usually forced a smile when Mackie asked that question before. Because all she could do when she had to face Vincent was to force a smile and lie to her daughter that everything was okay.

But with Vernon, she was sincere with her assuring words, "Mommy will be alright if it's with Uncle."
