Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother



Vincent finally stopped reading. He looked up and stared at Vernon, who smirked at him, liking every second of Vincent's pain. 

Vincent knew that Vernon wanted to humiliate him. He wanted Vincent to glare at him with hatred as if he couldn't wait to kill Vernon, who ruined his life.

Vernon wanted Vincent to show his suffering, so he could laugh at him. 

Unfortunately, Vincent already felt dead inside. He had already cried so much under the shower because he wouldn't let Vernon have the satisfaction he had searched for.

"You really want me to cry and beg?" Vincent asked.

The edge of Vernon's lips raised, and he admitted without hesitation, "Indeed, I want you to cry and beg so you can keep your position as the CEO. I know that you must've been heartbroken, right, Big bro?"

"After all, you kicked me out of the Gray family when I was only fifteen because you don't want competition. You also destroyed my relationship with Big sis Chloe because you thought that I might snatch her from you."

Vincent finally put the document down. He sat straight while staring at Vernon and then confessed, "Yes, I did kick you out of the family because I don't want competition, and I had a cahoot with Dad to force Chloe into saying things that would hurt you, so you will leave her alone."

"But you know what? I regret nothing of those, Vernon," Vincent said. His words were still cold and heartless despite his defeat. "What I did is absolutely necessary for the sake of the company. You know there can't be two winners at the same time, right? Since I am the winner, then you shouldn't be mad that I get all the good things in life, not you."

Vernon's smirk disappeared instantly, "You're such an asshole, Big bro. You know what you did is wrong, but you still refused to admit it because of your damn pride."

"It's not wrong, what I did is absolute necessity," Vincent insisted. 

Vernon's lips thinned. He knew it was difficult to break Vincent, but Vernon was still pissed because it didn't seem any of his intimidation worked.

"Besides, if you want to see me broken, then you are too late, Vernon," Vincent said. "I've already gone through that hysterical heartbreak phase once I realized that Chloe is actively going against me. She actually wants me to be destroyed, she wants me dead."

"I was so heartbroken once I knew that I'd been betrayed by my wife. I cried in my nightmare for a whole week, and for now…." Vincent sighed, and he returned to the documents again. "I have no more will to fight, Vernon. You can say whatever to me. You can tell shit about me, but I won't fight back, because I know I've lost against you, and most importantly, I've lost my beloved wife forever."

Vernon went silent for a while. He was angry because Vincent didn't seem to be too affected by the whole thing, and he was also angry at him because he dared to claim Chloe as his beloved wife, even though all he did was just abuse her.

"That's funny, Big bro," Vernon said. "You told me that you love her, but you never treat her right. I know that you've been abusing her for ten years straight. You never did anything good to her, and that leaves her with a physical and mental trauma."

Vincent didn't know how Vernon knew about all this, but he just assumed that Vernon had a private investigator to check. After all, it was obvious that Vernon had been planning to destroy him since the first day he returned to New York. 

"You're wrong, Vernon," Vincent denied. "I love her, more than anything. But I know that she will go around and cheat when I'm not around, so I have to make sure that she will obey me no matter what, so she won't cheat."

"So you beat her up?"

…

Vincent's heart was aching as deep down, he knew he was wrong for beating and humiliating Chloe, but he had never been taught another way to love someone.

He watched his father beat his mother so badly until her face was all blue. He also watched how his late father humiliated his mother until she became hysterical.

Ultimately, his mother became a very obedient woman, spending her time drinking, using drugs, and collecting useless gems to fill the void in her heart. It was already a miracle that she survived up until now.

But at least his mother never cheated on his father. She was his entire body and soul, and he wanted to do the same for Chloe. 

"That is the way I love her," Vincent said. "I want her to be ruined, like a broken doll that wouldn't fight back no matter what I did to her. In the end, she won't dare to fight back, and she will be completely loyal to me. That's what our father taught us."

"You're just so soft because you've been taught by Chloe on how to be a kind person," Vincent's eyes showed disgust, knowing that his little bro didn't have the same idea in mind. "This is what happens when you're being raised by a lowly woman. You begin to act like a peasant, you don't have the noble aura in you anymore, Vernon."

"BASTARD!" Vernon snapped once Vincent dared to call Chloe a peasant. He grabbed Vincent's collar and got up, forcefully pulling Vincent until he had to stand up as well. 

But there was a gap between their height, so when Vernon pulled his collar even higher, Vincent was left hopeless when his feet couldn't touch the ground. 

"As expected, a bastard like you doesn't deserve to live," Vernon said. He remembered all the forgiveness that Chloe still wanted to give to Vincent. Despite being abused for ten years, she still thought Mackie deserved to connect with her biological father once Vincent turned over a new leaf.

Chloe was so full of love, but this bastard… this bastard deserved NOTHING of it!
