Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Vernon and Vincent discussed their new cooperation. It went pretty well, mainly because Vernon seemed submissive and tried to give Vincent an advantage over the contract.

In exchange, Vincent thought Vernon felt reluctant because he wasn't used to being favored.

Despite all the craps that happened in Vincent's life. He still wanted Vernon to return to the family because Vernon was the only family he trusted in that rotten pile of cesspool.

Still, to this day, he didn't know what caused Vernon to leave abruptly after he married Chloe.

But it was all in the past anyway, so it didn't matter.

"I will tell my secretary to make the contract and inform you in a week. Don't worry, Vernon," Vincent said.

"Ah, but…" Vernon looked reluctant. "I don't think I will accept the contract, brother."

"Hm? Why? Is the share not enough for you?"

"Not at all! It's the opposite, in fact! You're giving me too much, brother! You're basically getting a penny compared to my profit if we're signing the contract!"

Vincent saw that Vernon was even more distressed just by the premise of him getting so little to this planned contract. He was amused— delighted even.

'My little brother is still the same, huh? He is still cute and kind, despite being all grown up,' Vincent thought. He missed his little brother a lot, but since they were all adults now, he couldn't just hug his little brother like before.

The Gray family was a big family full of snakes. You couldn't trust anyone there, not even your mother.

But for Vincent, Vernon was still his little brother, and the fact that he had ten years of experience outside meant that he was far better than the rest of those bastards in the Gray Family.

'Well, I don't care if I got losses with this contract. It's just pocket money, after all. But if this will help his business, why not?'

"No need to worry about my profit. Let's call this a trial period, shall we?" Vincent said. "If you're doing a great job, I will involve our two companies in many bigger projects. Hopefully, it can stand side by side on equal footing in the future."

"Brother…" Vernon felt emotional. He nodded assuringly, "I will work hard. I will make sure that you will see me as an adult. I will make you proud, brother!"

"Haha! You're already making me proud with all of your achievements, Vernon. But I want to see how much you've grown since you left the family ten years ago," Vincent said.

The two brothers conversed for a while, mostly talking about their younger days, but Vincent didn't seem to be in the mood to talk about the woman that filled Vincent's youthful day, aka Chloe Gray.

He seemed to continuously dodge the topic, and Vernon didn't want to force his big brother because it wasn't the time yet.

"Okay, I will leave now, big brother. It's already evening."

"Why leave? Let's go and have dinner, there is a nice restaurant nearby. You're a picky eater, right?" Vincent proposed. "This restaurant is brand new, and I know the head chef. He is a top chef from Austria. It will suit your taste."

Vernon refused politely, "I will just eat in my apartment. I've my food waiting there."

"You're eating in your apartment? Did you buy a takeout? Or you hire a chef?"

"I have someone that cooks for me, brother," Vernon replied lightly.

"Oh? This must be the new woman of yours," Vincent guessed, but Vernon didn't reply. He had a mysterious smile, though. "I guess you're dating a top female chef now, huh? I still remember that you're so picky when eating. The whole kitchen will always be busy trying to cater to your food preference that changes every day."

"Hahaha! I was such a brat when I was a kid," Vernon laughed, and Vincent laughed low.

"Well, let's have a family dinner later. I'm always curious about what you're doing in Europe. Mom always said that you're doing well and nothing is wrong, but it should be more convincing when it comes straight out of your mouth."

"Yes, brother, I'll tell you once I got more free time," Vernon said. He finally walked out of the CEO's office.

Vincent watched Vernon's back, and his smile faltered once his little brother left.

"It's not her, right?" Vincent asked.

It was true that Vernon had been a super picky eater since he was a baby. Even at one time, he would starve himself rather than eat something he disliked. He would also throw a temper tantrum often, mostly because he didn't get the food he liked.

Since they were born with a silver spoon, they didn't need to worry about material things. So food was the only thing that Vernon constantly threw tantrums off.

Until that woman— his wife, Chloe Gray came into his life.

Vernon dated her in high school. Because of her grades, she could enter the private high school despite coming from a low-average income family. She was smart and very smart academically. She also won a few competitions in junior high. That was why she could be in the same high school as Vincent.

Like a tale coming straight from a romance novel, Vincent was actually enamored by Chloe's brightness. She was bright like a star, smart, sensible, and beautiful as well. She was a perfect wife material since the first time Vincent met her.

So he dated her after he had approached her for a while.

When they were seventeen years old— a sophomore in high school, Vincent brought Chloe to the Gray mansion to introduce her to his parents.

They were indifferent, as always, and Vincent expected that coming from his family.

But he didn't expect Vernon, his little brother, to take a liking to Chloe. This usually bratty boy was the jewel in Vincent's eyes. He actually liked his girlfriend. It was the best outcome he could get from his family.
