Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother



[Warning: Violence.]

"I WILL FUCKING KILL ALL OF YOU!"

Vernon's voice was like thunder that struck everyone on the spot. They were all scared to move, whether they were an ally or enemies of Vernon. 

Vernon charged in, and his first target was the ambusher who was about to reach Chloe. He jumped and gave that man a flying kick to the head until the ambusher was sent flying and hit the wall behind him.

He turned his head to check on Chloe, and after ensuring his beloved was safe, he asked her, "Can you hold that old woman just like that for a while?"

"Yes, I can," Chloe replied without hesitation. She had had enough of Maria's maliciousness towards her. Maria already crossed the lines so many times, but Chloe always forgave her because she never wanted to hurt others.

But now Maria dared to involve her daughter in this problem and traumatized Mackie, who was supposed to have a heart-wrenching reunion with her dead Gran.

She even dared to try kidnapping Mackie!

Chloe glared at Maria, who had stopped struggling. Maria's eyes were glued to Vernon, who suddenly showed up like a hero to save Chloe.

All of her suspicion towards Vernon was proven to be true. He was the man who had been protecting Chloe and Mackie the whole time.

He was the traitor in the Gray family!

Vernon smirked when he saw the ghastly expression that Maria had made. It looked like she had seen a ghost in front of her.

He had been itching to show his Big bro of his identity as Chloe's benefactor and also showed that he had him the whole time.

All this time, the little brother that Vincent adored turned out to be a snake who had been hiding his wife!

Just imagining the shock that Vincent would get was enough to make Vernon grin in satisfaction. 

"Hold that old woman tight, love. I will handle the rest first," Vernon said as he cracked his fingers and arms to make sure his punch would hurt really bad. 

"I will make sure all of you will pay for hurting my wife and daughter," Vernon said with a creepy smile as if he couldn't wait to break their necks one by one. "Don't worry, I will make this quick, but very painful."

Chloe didn't want to see even more violence, so she just glared at Maria the whole time while she heard the sound of bones cracking and men grunting in pain behind her. She also whispered to her daughter, "Bury your face on my chest, dear. Don't look, your Uncle is cleaning up bad guys."

"Um, okay, Mommy…." 

It took at least fifteen minutes until Vernon finished all of the henchmen that Maria brought with her. Vernon told his men to 'clean these up, but don't let them die.'

Vernon's henchmen dragged the bloodied bodies of all the men Maria hired, and now there were only Chloe, Mackie, Maria, and Vernon inside the morgue.

Vernon approached Chloe first and whispered in a very low voice to ensure that Mackie wouldn't overhear his words.

'I don't want you to stain your hand, love. You can say all the things you want to say to this old bitch, and then let me handle the rest, okay?' 

Chloe's heart sank as she knew Vernon indicated something heinous that he would do to Maria.

Usually, she would try to plead with Vernon to save Maria's life. After all, she never liked violence in the first place.

But something happened today, something inside her that snapped after realizing that Maria could've taken her daughter away from her, and Chloe would NEVER allow that to happen.

She did everything for Mackie in the first place. What was the point of all of her pain so far if Maria could've easily taken her daughter?

So she had decided upon something.

Chloe strangled Maria harder until her face turned blue, and she started flailing. She had to make sure Maria understood the danger she was in right now.

"Listen to me, you old bitch," Chloe said ruthlessly. "I'm usually not the type to hurt someone. I don't like hurting others. But you've crossed the line because you want to snatch my daughter."

"You ruined her life because she had to see this bloody scene on top of her grief after losing her Gran. You ruined everything for us just because of your stupid obsession with that bastard," Chloe said. "Whatever happens next, you deserve it, and I hope you rot in hell, you filth."

"URK!"

Chloe finally released her grip around Maria's neck, and the old lady slumped on the floor like a puppet whose string had been cut. 

Chloe took a step back and turned around to look at Vernon.

She was so ruthless just now, but once she saw her man again, Chloe couldn't help to expose some of her fragile nature. 

Her eyes started glazing with tears, and her body trembled as she hugged her daughter tighter in her arms, "Why are you so late? What if they took our daughter away?" Chloe asked with a shaky voice. 

Vernon felt that question had crushed his heart. He had been on guard the whole time, and everything seemed according to his expectation. But he didn't expect that Maria would do something as crazy as ambushing Chloe and Mackie inside the morgue with six men. 

After getting the call from Chloe, Vernon shouted like a madman to the front desk, so she would give him a spare key to open the morgue, knowing that Maria must've locked themselves in the morgue to ensure that Chloe couldn't escape. 

He was glad that he made it on time before something bad happened to Chloe and Mackie, but seeing the man writhing in pain on the floor and Chloe who was strangling Maria at the corner of the room while carrying Mackie with one arm, Maria must've triggered Chloe's protective nature and made Chloe went wild for a while. 

Vernon truly regretted that his beloved had to dirty her hand to fight against this trash. 

Vernon gently caressed Chloe's hair and kissed her on the forehead, "I'm so sorry, love. You should leave now. Those four bodyguards will protect you back to the car, and I will handle the rest. okay?"

Vernon glanced at Mackie, who was trembling while burying her face in her mother's chest. He also patted Mackie's back and murmured, "You did a great job holding yourself, little wolf. You two can go now."

Chloe nodded and finally left with Mackie in her arms. The four bodyguards were wounded, but they stood their ground and escorted Mrs. Phoenix Gray and her daughter back to the car while their boss handled the old lady all by himself.

Vernon closed the door and locked it from the inside. He also put the spare key into his pocket, ensuring Maria couldn't escape.

Though, with her current condition, he doubted that Maria could even stand up.

Chloe was really ruthless to this old woman. Her face was really pale, and Maria's neck was bruised after being strangled for too long. She was breathing weakly, but her life was still hanging in there.

Vernon crouched in front of Maria and grabbed a handful of her hair. She pulled her like a ragdoll and saw that Maria still had some will to live in her eyes.

Maria glared at her with eyes that could kill, which was funny for Vernon, because she should've pleaded for her life at this point. 

"I thought that I would never be able to catch you so easily, because you have the entire Gray family's connection in your hand," Vernon said. "But who would've thought that I would catch you in here, in this morgue where you just made a terrible mistake by trying to kidnap my wife and daughter."

"You really screwed up, Maria," Vernon said. "You thought that Chloe wouldn't fight back, right? Well, she usually wouldn't do anything, but you've triggered her motherly instinct. Of course she will go crazy when her daughter's life is in danger."

Maria knew that she screwed up. She also knew that her life wouldn't be long because there was no way Vernon would let her live after she discovered the truth.

Vernon smirked maliciously, "You're right, I won't let you live, Maria. You've known too much, and my plan is only 70% on the way. I need to topple Vincent first before I can reveal the truth that I'm the one who has been hiding his wife for so long."

Maria gritted her teeth. She tried her best to let out some words to curse this son of a bitch in front of her, "You… fucking… bastard…" she cursed in her weak voice. "Vincent… will… kill… you…"

"Kill me? HAHAHAHAH!" Vernon laughed mockinglya because he thought it was so ridiculous. He shook his head helplessly. "Vincent can't do anything like that to me anymore. He can't even save his company at this point, how'd an incompetent ass like him kill me?"
