Ch. 76..80: Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother Chapter 76-80

Chapter 76

"Vernon Phoenix Gray, remember your mission. You're here to ruin both of them, your brother and sister-in-law."

…

Vernon's confused expression cooled down, just like his eyes went cold.

"Yeah, don't forget what you're here for, Vernon. Not after what they've done to you," Vernon said as he remembered what they did to him, all the damage that made him like this.

However, he also knew that he had to take this step slowly so his big brother— the powerful Vincent Gray, wouldn't notice his true intention.

As Vernon got busy trying to find a good strategy for his revenge, he got a call from his big brother and picked it up;

—

"Hello, brother?"

"Vernon, do you want to grab lunch together? I could call the top chef that usually cooked for me personally in his restaurant. We can go there."

"I'm sorry, big brother. But I already have my lunch prepared," Vernon replied while glancing at the lunch bag on the table.

"Oh? Was it your woman who prepared it for you? Haha, you seem to like this woman a lot to eat her food!"

'I don't like her. I hate her just as much as I hate you,' Vernon said in his heart. But he responded with nothing except a small chuckle.

"If you can't go with me, I'll visit your office then. I have the contract ready for you to sign," Vincent said.

"I thought you'd just send your secretary here so I can sign it up," Vernon joked.

"Hm? Are you interested in Priscilla? I can give her to you if you want. She might not be a good secretary, but she has good pussy. That's the most important, right?"

"Hahaha! Not now, big brother. I already have someone. I'm not in the mood to fuck another woman," Vernon said.

"Because you love her?"

"No, I don't want another problem because I'm busy with work. Women are problems, after all."

Vincent found his little brother's statement to be quite endearing. Of course, he knew Vernon was a big playboy, just like him. But it was funny because he actually saw women as a problem because, for Vincent, women weren't even something worth mentioning.

Unfortunately, he also had a period of stupidity, when he was in love with Chloe for five years until they married, and then for the first two years of their married life.

And then she got pregnant… and all the gross things made him want to puke.

"Well, if you say so. But I'll come to your office today. I want you to sign the contract," Vincent said.

"Sure, big brother."

Beep.

Vernon chuckled when he heard that his Big brother thought he was in love with the maid at home.

​ "Surely, that's fucking gross."

**

Vincent pressed the intercom to call for his secretary, and Priscille came knocking on the door a few minutes later.

"What is it, Vincent?" Priscilla asked as she entered the CEO's office.

Priscilla didn't need to act so formally in front of Vincent, nor did she want to. Because Vincent had already fucked her so many times, it would be funny if she still had some kind of shame in front of him.

In fact, Vincent should be the one who feels ashamed! Because she was still waiting for Vincent to put on a diamond ring on her finger! Where was that diamond now?! Even after his fat wife left, he still hadn't brought her a ring!

"We're going to my little brother's office now. Prepare the car," Vincent ordered.

"Wha! We're going to Vernon Phoenix Gray's office?! W—Wait a minute, I'm going to retouch my make-up first!" Priscilla said.

"I only told you to prepare for the car first. Just call the chauffeur. Why are you panicking like this anyway?"

"I need to show my best side in front of him! Who knows, he might like me," Priscilla replied shamelessly. "After all, you still haven't given me a ring I demanded. Of course, I need to find another man who wants to!"

"And you think he will like you?" Vincent asked with a mysterious smile on his face.

"I mean, you do. You two are brothers. Of course, you have similar taste!" Priscilla imagined the handsome Vernon Phoenix Gray who came to Vincent's office when they were in the middle of sex, it was a little embarrassing, but Priscilla believed that Vernon must've been into her if she tried just a little bit.

"Besides, I saw him in real life yesterday, and he is absolutely handsome! He is like you, but bigger, taller, and his eyes are like hawk's!"

Vincent chuckled when he heard Priscilla praising his little brother. He was not jealous because he knew what she said was true.

In fact, Vincent was quite joyed when someone praised his little brother. After all, he cared so much for Vernon.

"I'll give you time to retouch your make-up in the car, but you must call the chauffeur now to get ready," Vincent ordered.

"Ugh, I hate doing it in the car. But fine~."

Priscilla left Vincent's office to grab her phone and started calling the chauffeur.

Vincent picked the file inside his drawer. This would be the contract that his little brother would sign.

He trusted that Vernon would do a good job in their first cooperation. After all, he could build a company without any help from his family.

"He is smart and capable. It makes me wonder what kind of woman would he like," Vincent thought. "But I reckon that he must've liked independent women. I saw on the TV that he dated many actresses, female businesswomen, famous singers, and many more."

"Well, that's a good thing. I don't want him to be trapped in a marriage with a useless stay-at-home wife like Chloe. He would waste his life with her, hahahahah!" Vincent laughed freely. Thinking about Vernon and Chloe living together made him laugh even more. It was so funny because they were definitely not suitable.

Chapter 77

Vernon was waiting inside his office for a while. He stared at the lunch bag, and whenever he opened the lunch bag, the delicious smell of food wafted under his nose, and his stomach started grumbling.

"Ah, should I eat it now?" Vincent wondered. But it would be awkward if his big brother saw him eating, and Vernon definitely couldn't stop eating once he ate her cooking, plus banana milk. That would be heaven.

He was already ashamed to be caught red-handed drinking banana milk by his sister-in-law. So he called Diamond and said, "Put this in the pantry and reheat it. I will eat after my meeting with my big brother."

"Meeting? In here, Sir?"

"Yes, in my office. He texted me just now. He's on the way," Vernon replied. "Be sure to be available at your desk. You can eat lunch later."

Diamond was stunned. This would be the first time for her to look at Vincent's appearance in real life.

From what Chloe told her many times, Vincent was just as handsome and charming as he was on the TV. He looked so kind and gentle, but that was just the way for him to get what he wanted.

After all, he was the heir of the Gray family. He would be eaten clean to the bone if he didn't know how to control them.

Diamond glanced at Mr. Phoenix Gray for a moment and realized that Vincent and Vernon must have similar personalities. They were brothers, after all.

"Understood, Sir. I will stay until Mr. Vincent Gray's arrival," Diamond said politely.

"You shouldn't leave after his arrival either. You'll accompany me to my office during the meeting. I have a feeling that he would bring his secretary," Vernon said.

'And… what's wrong with that?" Diamond pondered. Bringing the secretary to a meeting was common, so she found nothing wrong with it.

But since it was her boss' order, she couldn't refuse and nodded.

**

Vincent arrived about an hour later. Diamond had already contacted the receptionist to give a proper welcome to Vincent Gray, so the young billionaire was guided by the receptionist until he entered the executive elevator heading straight up to the CEO's floor.

Diamond was already standing about five feet from the elevator. When she heard the 'Ding' from the elevator.

Diamond lowered her head slightly to greet him.

"Welcome, Mr. Vincent Gray. Mr. Phoenix Gray has been waiting for you," Diamond said. She lifted her head, and her eyes met with Vincent Gray's, who smiled at her.

Like Chloe described, Vincent Gray was handsome— though he wasn't as physically good-looking as Vernon. He was a little shorter than Vernon but still tall nonetheless, knowing Vernon was at least 6'2".

He was well-dressed and had a more posh and sophisticated image than Vernon, who had a more rough and wild exterior.

Vincent Gray also had this aura that made people submit to him. Not because he looked scary and intimidating like Vernon, but because of his smile.

A gentle yet mysterious smile made you keep guessing what was in his mind.

It also had the power to make you feel reluctant to confront him because you couldn't guess what was in his mind.

Unlike Vernon, whose idea was printed all over his face. Maybe that was just for Diamond because she worked with Mr. Phoenix Gray the longest and knew many of his habits.

But it was true that Vincent was very charming. Had it not for Diamond, who was used to Vernon, and also all the shitty things this man did through Chloe's stories, she might allow herself to be taken by Vincent Gray for a night.

"Please this way, Sir," Diamond said, not wanting to stare at Vincent longer than this. Because she started to imagine everything that Vincent did to her homegirl Chloe.

She guided the CEO to the office and opened the door, "Please come in, Sir."

"Thank you," Vincent said. He entered with his secretary, who looked at Diamond as if she was ready to kill. Diamond was a little surprised because she didn't notice the secretary before. She was way too focused on Vincent Gray.

Diamond entered the CEO's office the last and closed the door. She saw Vernon and Vincent sitting on the sofa, facing each other, with Vincent's secretary standing behind him.

Thus, Diamond walked toward her boss and stood behind Vernon Phoenix Gray.

Vincent and Vernon stared at each other for a while until Vernon chuckled, then laughed freely, "Ahahahah! Big brother, why are we acting so serious?"

Vincent chuckled as well, "Not sure, but I guess because we're accompanied by our secretaries. This reminds me of a formal meeting I usually had with other executives."

"Anyway, I'm here to give you the contract," Vincent said. He raised his hand and used his finger to signal Priscilla— his secretary, to put the file on the table.

Priscilla's cheeks reddened as she stepped forward and gently leaned on the table until her cleavage was shown in front of Vernon.

Priscilla had intentionally unbuttoned the first two buttons of her tight shirt before they entered the building, so she could show a little bit of excitement towards Vernon Phoenix Gray.

Thus, Vernon saw her cleavage— and basically half of her boobs. The only thing that was left to the imagination was the nipples that were peeking.

Though there was no need for all of this, Vernon already saw her fucking with Vincent, so no temptation was needed in the first place.

Vernon only raised his brow when Priscilla stared at him for a moment. The edge of his lips perked up, but he said nothing as Priscilla almost jolted out of excitement when she stared at the hawk-like eyes behind the rimless glasses.

Even the glasses made him look ten times more intimidating. The mix of sophistication and wild aura of a powerful man made her tremble in excitement.

"T—This is the contract, Sir. Please… take a good look at them."

Chapter 78

"T—This is the contract, Sir. Please… take a look at them," Priscilla said as she leaned a little bit more, wishing she could shove her boobs on Vernon's face. He would bury his face inside her cleavage, playing with her tits and even sucking her nipples.

'Ohhh, that's so hottt!' Priscilla felt hot all over her body just thinking about it.

"Them?" Vernon chuckled as she teased Priscilla, he found this over-eager woman quite interesting to tease.

"A—Ah, I misspoke. I'm sorry, Sir…."

"It's fine, thank you," Vernon said. He picked up the file and opened it. Vernon started reading the content of the contract, ignoring Priscilla who wished that Vernon would do more.

Priscilla was disappointed that Vernon didn't just grab her tits and start fondling. She didn't even mind being seen by Vincent.

After all, they were brothers, and she didn't mind being played by them. They were handsome, rich, and powerful.

'Oh, Vincent's dick is nice too. Vernon's should be bigger, right? Mmhh, makes me wonder~.'

Diamond's body went stiff as she saw what Priscilla just did to seduce her boss. No, she wasn't entertained at all.

It was trashy and utterly disgusting!

'Shit, that's so trashyyyy! Ewwww!' Diamond was screaming in her head. If she could do something here, she would just slap that bitch and throw her from the top of this building.

'She got nothin' compared to my homegirl Chloe! Urgh, grossss!' Diamond also remembered that Chloe told her Vincent had a lot of women in his life. Some were just going to be used one time before getting discarded. The other could stay for a while. One of the most long-lasting was her secretary, Priscilla, who had been with Vincent for four years, to the point that she could insult Chloe freely without any repercussion from Vincent.

At some point, Chloe thought Vincent would finally divorce her and marry Priscilla. But there was no such thing even after four years, the situation between the three of them remained the same.

'I mean, it's obvious that she is just a woman used by Vincent to relieve his stress, no more than that.'

,m Priscilla also noticed that Vernon's secretary was looking at her with that judging eyes, and she glared back. She was annoyed that Vernon actually had a beauty by his side;

'That woman must've been getting all the privilege to get fucked by Vernon. Ugh, I'll kick her ass once I can replace her!' Priscilla already schemed many things in her head as she and Diamond glared at each other.

Vernon was reading the contract when Vincent suddenly mentioned, "Vernon, are you sure you don't want to try my secretary here? Her name is Priscilla, and she is quite good with her blowjob."

Vincent casually grabbed Priscilla's boobs and started fondling them right in front of Vernon.

"Uhh… ahh… B—Boss!"

"Hm? I thought you were interested in my little brother. I'd give you to him if he wants to," Vincent said.

Vernon stopped reading the document. He still had his head down, but his eyes looked up and saw his big brother fondling his secretary's boobs without the slightest care.

He scoffed and lifted his head, "I don't mind at all, brother. I'd love to try her," Vernon replied.

"Really? That's good, Priscilla. Go to Vernon's side—"

"But not without a trade, big brother," Vernon added.

"A trade?"

"Yes, I'd gladly take your secretary for a night, but in exchange, you have to take mine as well."

Diamond's eyes widened instantly. She glared at Vernon and snapped, "EXCUSE ME?!"

"We've agreed on this, Diamond. You have nothing to say here," Vernon said ruthlessly, cutting Diamond out of her escape. "I've given you the requisite to be my secretary back then, right?" Vernon signaled toward Diamond.

Diamond was shocked at first, but she knew that— despite being a ruthless man, Vernon would always refuse any of his business partners who dared to touch Diamond.

Because it was part of his promise back then when Diamond got hired to be his secretary, working for him.

—

'We are work partners. I will treat you as my secretary, and there is no need for you to do anything more than just doing all the things I told you to do.'

'And don't worry about those grimy old men who will be my future business colleagues. I will not let them touch you.'

—

Those were the promise that Vernon made to her, which gave her 100% trust in Vernon. She was assured that she'd be safe.

But this was the first time Vernon didn't outright reject such a disgusting misogynistic offer. Maybe it was because Vincent was his big brother.

Diamond bit her lip. Mr. Phoenix Gray must've had a plan on his own.

She glanced at Vernon Phoenix Gray again and clenched her fist, 'I have to trust him. He might be an asshole, but he already promised not to offer me to some grimy old men.'

'And even if he did, I'd just quit right now. There's no way I'm going to get fucked by a disgusting man like Vincent Gray. His face is really a trap! I thought he'd at least have some human decency!'

Diamond took a deep breath and nodded, "Just like what Mr. Phoenix Gray said. If Mr. Vincent Gray wanted the exchange, then I do not mind."

"See, Big brother? My secretary doesn't mind at all."

Vincent's smile faded after Diamond said that. He looked at her from head to toe and sighed.

He removed his hand from Priscilla's tits and shrugged, "Well, that's unfortunate. I don't like your secretary at all. Not my type."

"Ah, what a missed opportunity. But I don't want to take your secretary without any trade, so let's just call it off, right?" Vernon said.

Priscilla almost gritted her teeth as she realized the missed opportunity. She got excited for nothing, just because Vincent wasn't interested in that woman!

'Ugh, you ugly bitch only ruined my opportunity with Vernon Phoenix Gray!'

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.

Chapter 80

"You see, our late father… grandfather, and great-grandfather believed in race purity. That's why you'd be looked down on if you marry a woman or man that's not white," Vernon explained. "I have the same mindset, but after I left for ten years, I met many new people from the circle that the Gray family knows. I also had my fair share of befriending or dating women from other races. I found there's nothing wrong with dating them. Even engaging in a sexual relationship with them is no problem."

​ 'Wow, what kind of sick, old-fashioned way of thinking,' Diamond thought. 'I know that Vernon is an ass. But I didn't know that his family is worse than him.'

"Is that also why you hired me in the first place?" Diamond asked again. "Because I'm black?"

"Sort of. You have the qualification to be a competent secretary. But since you're black, that also eliminates your chance of getting harassed by my brother. I don't want anything bad to happen to my most competent employee."

"It's difficult to handle him, at least not within my current position. Vincent Gray is absolutely powerful with all of the old deep-rooted connections of the family and the connections he built by himself."

"So, I'm sorry for putting you in that position. I will compensate you by giving you a bonus for your salary later," Vernon said. It was the only way to compensate Diamond for the humiliation she had experienced before. At least, that was all he could think of.

Diamond was thinking about other things right now, though…

"Sir, if I'm allowed to ask if… Mr. Vincent Gray knows about Chloe working for you?"

"He doesn't know. So does my sister-in-law. She also doesn't know I'm working with my big brother right now," Vernon replied. "Nobody knows about this except Vincent, his secretary, and us."

"But you said Mr. Vincent Gray is very powerful, but why would you take Chloe inside your house, Sir? Isn't that very risky?"

"Obviously, I have my own reason," Vernon replied with a smile. Though he didn't tell Diamond about his plan, nobody knew about it because he trusted no one, even Diamond.

'Then, maybe I should tell Chloe about this,' Diamond pondered the idea. 'At least it would give her closure, right?'

"Also, Diamond, I know you've developed a friendship with Chloe. You should think twice before you have the funny idea of telling my sister-in-law about my cooperation with her ex-husband. You know what I did to Chloe, right?"

Diamond shuddered when Mr. Phoenix Gray suddenly peered at her with his hawk gaze and a thin smile that would make people piss themselves out of fear.

Diamond knew what he meant by that. Because she was forced to cooperate and search all the companies that Chloe applied to, Vernon could call the boss individually to ensure they wouldn't employ her.

"If you told her anything about this, I'll make sure that you'll never recover, Diamond. You won't be able to get a job for the rest of your life, and I can do the same with your families too."

"Your father, mother, and even your brother. All of them will lose their jobs and will never be able to get another job. It's that simple," Vernon threatened. But he still looked calm, and Diamond could see a trace of Vincent in Vernon's expression.

Both Vernon and Vincent, they were scum.

"U—Understood, Sir, please excuse me then," Diamond bowed her head slightly before turning away and leaving Vernon alone with his lunch.

Diamond closed the door and sighed, full of pity, "I'm so sorry, girl. I don't think I can help you with this. He never joked about this. If I tried to spill it to you, he might ruin my family."

Vernon watched Diamond's back until she left the office and closed the door. He scoffed, "Heh, do you think I don't know that you and my sister-in-law have become friends? That woman must've used her charm to make Diamond siding with her. What a snake."

"But I will make sure to use her first before she used me, just like what she did to me before," Vernon said ruthlessly.

Then, he looked at the food in front of him. His stomach had been burning inside, wanting to be fed, and Chloe's cooking was seriously appetizing.

"Well, I'll take her down later. I guess I can keep her around. Her food is… tolerable for my palate after all."

**

Vernon had many meetings today and a few projects that he had to observe until he returned to his apartment at around eleven.

He opened the door and walked inside his penthouse.

It was already dark, with only a few dim lights on. Maybe it was a way for Chloe to greet her.

He was exhausted today since so many things were happening in the office.

People always thought that CEO's job was easy. He just had to read documents and sign them, and also had a meeting with many powerful people to lobby and make a business deal.

But that was just a small picture of what he actually did. It was exhausting, and the only way for him to rest was either sleep or sex.

Too bad he hadn't gotten both for a while. Of course, he could sleep with a woman of his choice, but he just wasn't feeling it these days.

He walked to the kitchen for a bottle of gin or wine.

But he stopped when he saw Chloe sitting at the dining chair. She rested her head on the dinner table and was asleep.

"What is she doing here?" Vernon frowned. He approached her and kicked the table lightly to wake her up.

"Hey, wake up," Vernon said.

Chloe jolted and opened her eyes instantly. She saw Vernon standing in front of her, and she got up immediately.

"W—Welcome back, Vernon. I've prepared dinner for you, but it went cold already. I'm going to reheat it."
