Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

"What's their problem now? I bet this is just another misunderstanding."

Diamond rolled her eyes. It was obvious that Chloe and Vernon already loved each other at this rate. But their communication skills lacked so much, so there were a lot of unnecessary fights between them.

Diamond listened to her boss' rage, followed by so much furniture getting destroyed. She got even more worried as she thought Vernon would destroy everything inside his office, costing Diamond her weekend and possibly her Christmas and New Year holidays.

After all, the holiday season meant many of the usual craftsmen and distributors selling Mr. Phoenix Gray's stuff were closed. So she had to pre order or get something similar elsewhere, which would take her a month or two.

"Damn it, I have to call Chloe now. I don't want to deal with this crap before December comes," Diamond grabbed her phone and called Chloe.

Usually, Chloe would pick up her call in less than ten seconds. But the phone kept ringing, and Chloe didn't pick it up.

"Huh? What's wrong with her? Is she in the bathroom?" Diamond wondered. She tried to call her again, and Chloe still didn't pick it up.

As Diamond was about to make the third call, the CEO's office door was suddenly slammed open from the inside.

Diamond almost jumped out of fright when she saw her boss standing at the door. His suit was disheveled, and blood dripped from his clenched fists.

He had that heinous aura around him, and then he darted his eyes at Diamond.

"Don't call her," Vernon said. His voice was hoarse, probably after he screamed and roared like a madman a while ago.

Diamond gulped.

Her boss was so scary that she preferred not to be around him right now, "S—Sir, I don't know what happened, but I know for sure that you need Chloe by your side right now. I'm calling her, so she can come here with lyft or uber."

"It's no use. She won't pick up, no matter how many times you try calling her. Because she's busy getting fucked by another man right now," Vernon said. His voice was calm but more like the calm before the storm.
Diamond's eyes widened out of shock, but her first natural reaction was, "That's impossible," Diamond stated boldly. "I know what kind of woman Chloe is, and cheating is wayyyy out of her dictionary. If she's actually a cheater, she'd be cheating on Vincent long ago!"

Vincent scoffed, "Heh, you're stupidly biased. I have the proof already. There's video footage of her leaving my penthouse, and meeting a man. She's in floor 11, room 1112 of Phoenix Tower. She's getting fucked by another man inside my apartment building. Heheh…"

"T—That's not possible!" Diamond kept on denying it. She just thought that it was just ridiculous!

"Sir, I will call Anna, the receptionist in your apartment. I'll ask her to check who's the one living in room 1112!" Diamond said, gallantly protecting her homegirl. "Even if she enters that room, it could be anybody, right? Maybe it's her old friend, or maybe even her mother. Maybe she made up with her mother!"

"Hahah! You're so funny, Diamond. You are defending Chloe as if she's an angel who can't do no wrong," Vernon kept on giggling, scoffing, and laughing, which made everything feel so creepy for Diamond. "No angel would lie to me and fuck another man behind my back."

"Let me prove it to you!" Diamond called the Phoenix Tower's receptionist, and Anna picked it up quickly.

Diamond put it on loudspeaker, so Vernon could listen to it;

—

"Good morning, Phoenix Tower Lobby, this is Anna, may I help you?"

"Anna, this is Diamond, Mr. Phoenix Gray's secretary."

"Yes, Miss," Anna turned serious instantly, not wanting to make a mistake in front of her boss' secretary. "May I help you with something?"

"Yes, tell me who is the one staying in Room 1112, I need the information!" Diamond demanded.

"One sec, Miss."

…

…

There were at least thirty seconds pause until Anna replied, "The room has been occupied by a guest since two days ago, Miss. The guest is staying for one week with a high chance of extending the stay."

"Tell me, who's her name?" Diamond demanded. Her leg kept bouncing under the table as she couldn't withstand being stared at by that kind of psycho stare from her boss.

"Her? Miss, the guest is a man named Jonathan—"

Beep.

—

Diamond quickly hung up the call when she heard the guest was a man. She still couldn't believe that her homegirl was cheating. It was simply not possible!

"See?" Vernon smirked creepily. "She's cheating on me. She's fucking with a man named Jonathan. Heheh, I don't know what's on her mind that she'd do something so stupid, but I guess I'll have to do some cleaning up."

Vernon walked towards the elevator, and Diamond quickly got up and ran towards him.


She stopped right before him, blocking her boss from entering the elevator. She was scared as shit right now, but she had to keep him here, or else something terrible might happen as soon as he left the office.

"Out of my way, Diamond," Vernon said. His voice was calm, but his eyes were so dark and scary that he could kill a person with his gaze.

In fact, he would. Diamond was 100% sure he'd murder that guy named Jonathan.

"Where are you going, Sir?"

"To my apartment, I want to meet that man who dares to fuck my woman," Vernon said. "I'll make sure he'll be taken care of.

Diamond shook her head, "Sir, you're not thinking clearly right now. That man named Jonathan might be Chloe's old friend, or it could be her cousin!"

"She won't need to lie to me if he's just an old friend or her cousin," Vernon said. "You're protecting her because she's your best friend, you're blind, Diamond."

"Sir—"

"Why don't you put yourself in my shoes?"
