Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother
79 Chapter 79
'Ugh, you ugly bitch only ruined my opportunity with Vernon Phoenix Gray!'
Diamond raised her brow, taunting Priscilla, who glared at her. She was relieved that the trade was called off.
She never expected that Vincent would refuse her because, based on what Chloe said, Vincent would absolutely fuck any attractive woman in sight.
'Well, for the first time in my life, I'm so glad he doesn't find me attractive. But shit, that was nerve-racking. I thought the trade would actually happen!'
'But…' Diamond glanced down at her Boss again, 'I have a feeling that Mr. Phoenix Gray must've expected this. Did he do this just to reject the offer indirectly?'
'Why would a powerful and daring man like him have to do a roundabout way to reject an offer? Is it because Vincent Gray is his big brother? Or is it because Vincent Gray is too powerful?'
More and more questions started piling up in Diamond's mind, but if Vernon— the devil-may-care guy, actually had to use this method… that meant Vincent was THAT powerful, which pained her heart, knowing how difficult Chloe's situation right now.
'How powerful he actually is, I wonder… I mean, Chloe told me a few times. But is he that unbeatable, even in court?'
…
"Let's return to the contract. I have a few things I need to ask, and mostly it's about the profit share between our companies," Vernon said, shifting the topic back to business matters. "Big brother, even if this cooperation is successful, you will be left with profit that would only break even for your company. You'll generate little to no pure profit from this."
"I don't care at all," Vincent said. "You've warned me about this many times, Vernon. I don't care if I lose money. This is just pocket money— no, money to burn away in my leisure time. I just want cooperation between us brothers. Even if you fail, I won't demand you for anything."
"And if I succeed?"
"Then we will work even more, I'll give you a bigger and bigger slice of projects, and I'll start taking real profit from it," Vincent replied. He seemed dead set about his decision to work with his little brother.
"Ah, brother, I didn't know that you could be so kind to me, even after ten years of no communication," Vernon said.
"Naturally, because we're brothers. I'm also proud of your achievement. Just take this as me treating your ice cream when we were going out, okay?"
"Sure, brother!"
Vernon signed the contract without a problem and told Diamond to scan and make two copies for the archive before returning it to Vincent.
"You sure you don't want to go with me for lunch, little bro? I know a good restaurant that you won't vomit your heart out, haha!"
"I already ate a homemade lunch, big brother. Didn't I tell you before?"
"I know. It's just surprising that you like someone's cooking," Vincent chuckled. "Well, I'll leave now. Let's hang out again later. You can always come to my office. I can invite a few girls for you to try if you want."
Vernon and Diamond escorted Vincent and Priscilla to the elevator until the door closed.
Priscilla was in a bad mood the whole time, though she didn't show it in front of Vernon.
But once the elevator door was closed, she started complaining, "Ugh! That bitch secretary! Why don't you fuck her too, Vincent? So I can have a shot with your little brother!"
"You really think that you have a shot with Vernon?" Vincent chuckled. "That's funny."
"What do you mean by that?"
"When he insists on trading, it's his way to indirectly reject you. He doesn't want to fuck you, that's why," Vincent replied. "I'm not an idiot. I know his method."
'',
"Ugh! Obviously, I'm sexier than his secretary!"
"Maybe he acquired taste after living in Europe for ten years. I don't know what he experienced there. Nobody in my family knows. So it's better for you to just shut up and not bother him again. A woman like you is just a part of his collection."
"What do you mean by that?!" Priscilla protested though she knew what exactly Vincent meant.

"Diamond, reheat my lunch, and don't forget my banana milk. I'll be waiting in my office."
"Yes, Sir."
Diamond reheated the food and served it on a plate. It smelled amazing and looked like it had been carefully made. Just by the portion and food range, she could see that Chloe ensured everything was balanced for Vernon.
"Damn, if I have a wife like Chloe, I'd never cheat on her. That Vincent guy is just stupid… and horny, but mostly stupid."
Diamond returned to Vernon's office with the lunch and three small cartons of banana milk and served it on the table, "Your food, Sir."
"Thanks, Diamond," Vernon said. His stomach started grumbling again as he saw the appetizing food.
But he had to address a few things first before eating. He looked at Diamond and apologized, "Sorry for what happened before. But it had to be done, so my big brother won't get offended."
"I have a few questions about that, Sir," Diamond said. "I wonder if you already know that Vincent Gray will refuse me."
"Yes, I already know he will refuse you because of your skin color," Vernon replied.
"What the—"
"Yes, he is a racist," Vernon said. "He has absolutely zero interest in a non-white woman. Whether they're African, Asian, or even some part of European. If they don't have any caucasian features, he would refuse them."
Diamond never expected a rich and educated man like Vincent would be a fucking racist who would refuse someone just because of their skin color.
p That was absolutely despicable!
Vernon scoffed and looked away, "Actually, I also had a similar mindset to him before I left the Gray family. You see, our late father… grandfather, and great-grandfather all believed in race purity. That's why you'd be looked down on if you marry a woman or man that's not white."
