Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother



—

"They said they refused to take your case because it's a losing game, they prefer to save their career."

"THEY WHAT?!"

Vincent's heart was crushed as he got the bad news from Khloe. 

He thought he had misheard it and asked again, "Be clearer Khloe. Because I fucking sure heard you said that everyone refuses to take my case just now."

…

"You heard it right, Sir. No lawyer in New York wants to take your case. They are too scared to do so because they know it's a losing game," Khloe repeated. "They said the backing behind Mrs. Chloe Gray is too powerful. It scares them."

"THAT'S BULLSHIT!" Vincent snapped. "There is no way that man has so much power to intimidate every lawyer in New York! Keep searching! I know you aren't doing your job right now."

…

"Master Grant, I've called over fifty different lawyers in New York, from the most renowned to the unknowns, and they have the same answer," Khloe replied. "If you don't believe me, you can do it yourself."

"FUCKING USELESS!!" Vincent hung up the call abruptly.

Beep.

—

He was so angry at Khloe and definitely didn't believe what she said just now. 

"No lawyer wants to take my case? Don't fucking kid me!" Vincent yelled. He scrolled through his contacts to find any of the famous lawyers he knew, and he called them one by one. 

He had an expectation that maybe those lawyers were too scared because Khloe, a meager secretary, called them, not Vincent himself.

So he had to ditch his pride for this one and ask them personally.

Unfortunately, he was met with the same answer that Khloe got.

—

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gray. But you're facing a very powerful man. As much as I value our friendship, I don't want to risk my career."

—

"Sir, your enemy is very powerful. He paid me a lot just to refuse your request. So I have to refuse yours, I am sorry, but I prefer to keep my promise to him because he is far more powerful than you."

—

"Vincent, you're facing the big shot. I mean, I know you were a big shot before, but you're severely outclassed. Besides, with all of the rumors outside about you abusing and abandoning your wife, I don't want to fight a losing game."

—

"Mr. Gray, I suggest you give up. Your reputation is on the ground. You should accept whatever divorce settlement your wife wants and move on. You're facing a giant and don't have enough capital and influence to fight him back."

—

"ARGHH!! USELESS!" Vincent shouted as he smashed his phone to the ground. He was so frustrated right now because what Khloe said was right.

Nobody wanted to take the case because it was a losing game, and he was facing a big shot.

They acted as if Vincent wasn't a big shot before he had to sell his company. 

He was still rich as fuck! He was still THE big shot!

"Fine! If nobody will stand by my side, then I don't fucking care!" Vincent yelled. His chest rose up and down as he was holding his rage. "I don't need a lawyer for this. I am smart and capable enough to represent myself. I will stop this divorce no matter what!"

"Yeah, my secretary will send you the money tomorrow. Just make sure that nobody wants to take his case. It will be way easier," Vernon said before he hung up the call from one of the most popular lawyers in New York. 

He was lying on the bed, hugging the waist of his beloved woman sitting on his lap. 

"Who is it, darling?" Chloe asked.

"One of the lawyers. Don't worry. I have everyone under control. Vincent won't be able to find any lawyer. He will be forced to submit everything without appeal or represent himself," Vernon replied. "Well, he still has the choice of hiring an unknown lawyer, probably a novice who is stupid enough to take this losing game for money."

"But don't worry, we will win the case. Mackie won't need to visit Vincent," Vernon's eyes darkened as he imagined Mackie being fed lies by Vincent so his little wolf would go against her own family. "I will make sure my daughter is safe."

"Remember our deal, darling…" Chloe reminded me. "We will give him that visitation right if I deem Vincent to be stable and normal enough. But if he is still the same crazy man, then Mackie won't meet her biological father. They are allowed to meet when she is eighteen, and she wants to meet him."

Vernon's lips thinned. 

He disagreed with Chloe, who still tried to give Vincent visitation right.

In his dictionary, Mackie's father was Vernon Phoenix Gray; there was no Vincent Gray. 

He wanted to forbid Mackie to see Vincent's face for the rest of her life. She didn't need another father. 

But he knew that was his possessiveness talking. Vernon admitted that he wasn't only possessive to Chloe and every member of his small family.

So his children were HIS, and he would protect them from any harm, including a bastard like Vincent. 

But Chloe was very firm about this, so he had to agree, or they would get into a big fight. 

"Alright, It's up to you, Love. I don't want you to make a wrong decision regarding Mackie's safety," Vernon said.

Chloe smiled and caressed his cheek, "Don't worry, I also want the best for our daughter. She deserves to know the full truth once she's old enough.

"She already knows that her biological father is an asshole," Vernon said. "And I didn't even say anything to her. She's smart, you know that, right? She learns by seeing the change in you."

Chloe smiled bitterly, "I know I can't hide anything. She will know the full truth eventually. I just want to ensure she is ready when it's time."

Vernon nodded. At least his beloved understood that they couldn't hide anything from that smart little girl.
