Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother



Diamond was busy with her usual work when she suddenly got an email from none other than the Gray Company.

"Hm, don't tell me that they're finally agreeing with the offer. I mean, it's obvious that they're in a difficult situation right now, but this is too early to give up, right?" Diamond murmured. She had a little expectation in her head since their plan was going on the right track, so she opened the email.

She did a quick read, and her eyes widened instantly. 

She then made a second, more-careful read and almost jumped out of her chair excitedly.

"OH MY GOD!" Diamond's voice echoed loudly around the floor, shocking Vernon and Chloe, who currently stayed inside the CEO's office.

They rushed out to check if Diamond was alright and were greeted with the sight of Diamond doing a little dancey-dancey while staring at her computer monitor.

Chloe and Vernon looked at each other, and Chloe was the first to snap her out of her little dancey-dancey.

"Um, Diamond, are you alright?"

Diamond turned her head towards Chloe and Vernon, and she rushed to hug Chloe.

"OMG, homegirl! It's a success! The whole plan to cut all of the way out for the Gray company is a success!" Diamond said.

Chloe had very little understanding of what was happening, but she knew that Vernon and Diamond were working to ensure the Gray company was destroyed.

So she glanced at Vernon, asking for an explanation, and he then cleared his throat to warn Diamond, "Stop hugging her too tightly, Diamond. She is pregnant."

"Oh, sorry, girl. I'm just too excited!" Diamond quickly released her hug and took a step back. "Anyway, Sir, you should read the email on my computer screen right now. It's great news for all of us!"

Vernon nodded.

He bent his back to read the email on the screen, and his eyes widened. He had the same reaction as Diamond, minus the little dancey-dancey, because he still had to keep at least a bit of his dignity.

"Have you checked if this is from their official email?"

"Yes, Sir. This is an official email. They also said that they are ready to discuss the acquisition as soon as possible," Diamond said. "I will prepare all the documents today, Sir. You can go tomorrow if that's what you want."

Chloe could grasp one thing or two from the tidbits of their conversation, so she asked, "Does Vincent… finally give up on his own company? How can it be so quick?"

Diamond and Vernon turned their heads toward Chloe at the same time. Vernon replied, "The Gray company is on the verge of collapse in such a short time because of Vincent's scandal that broke the media, and also because I've been actively making products that are cheaper than the ones produced by the Gray company."

"I've also poached most of his business partners to the point that he basically has almost zero chance to recover," Vernon said. "Without any backing, an overly competitive rival, and a ruined reputation, Vincent and his company are doomed to fail."

Chloe didn't know how to feel about this.

She was happy, of course.

But at the same time, she felt sad for those who worked for the Gray company because there would be a massive layoff that could affect so many families.

But Chloe knew the downfall of the Gray company was important for her to finally gain her freedom.

Chloe stared at Vernon, who looked excited as he was reading the email on the computer screen, and then he said, "Vernon, um… is it absolutely necessary to destroy the company?"

Vernon frowned as he stared at Chloe, "Of course it is very important. We need to root Vincent out of his power completely so he won't be able to fight back. Isn't that the point?"

"I—I know, but…." Chloe began worrying as she imagined all those innocent families that would be ruined due to financial stress. 

"Just spit it out, Chloe," Vernon said. His voice got a bit colder because he thought that Chloe still had some pity for Vincent. 

No matter how often Chloe assured him that he was the love of her life. He still couldn't believe her completely.

Whenever Chloe remembered Vincent, Vernon would get super jealous and irritated.

"I—I just thought that maybe you shouldn't go too harsh on the company…" Chloe said meekly. She had to be careful when threading about this sensitive conversation because the subject of Vincent would often turn into an argument between them.

"We have to do this, Chloe," Vernon insisted. "Don't be soft on them. This is the ticket to your divorce and our marriage."

"But I don't want to hurt so many people…"

Diamond quickly caught the stupid tension between these two.

She could only sigh, knowing how bad their arguments could be.

Based on her observation, her boss was very lenient and obedient to whatever Chloe said, but he became hard-headed and prone to anger whenever the topic was about Vincent. 

"Oh come on, why are you two arguing over stupid things," Diamond rolled her eyes. She stared at her boss and said, "Chloe is just worried about those employees at the Gray company. She's afraid there would be a massive lay off that would hurt thousands of people and their families."

Diamond turned to Chloe, "Girl, be clearer towards your soon-to-be husband. You know how stubborn and sensitive he could be when it's about Vincent. But you should know that Mr. Phoenix Gray already told me before that you'll worry about those employees, that's why he won't 'destroy' the company. He will instead acquire the whole company and merge it with this one, so there would be no significant layoffs, probably only for a few people at the top to ensure that we will have no saboteur or a mole."

Chloe was astonished. She then asked Vernon, "Is that true?"

Vernon nodded. 

He was a little ashamed for acting cold towards his beloved, "Yes, I know you'll be upset if I destroy so many people's lives. That's why I plan to buy the Gray company instead."
