Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

"That's because your standard is on the ground, girl. This is not even the bare minimum!" Diamond complained. She was seriously tired of those two brothers being jerks.

"Ahahaha… but please don't tell this to Vernon, okay?" Chloe asked.

"About what Vincent did to you?"

"Yeah…"

"Isn't it better for him to know how much of a dick his brother can be?"

"Ah, please don't…." Chloe tightened her hold on Diamond's hand. "I'm not close with Vernon, and I don't know if he will take my side or his brother's. Though, since Vincent's businesses and connections were unparalleled. I don't think he will challenge Vincent if he is not reckless or stupid."

"But he is the only one that could help…"

"I don't want to be a burden. No—I just don't want him to see me as a burden. I just need the money and escape because trying to divorce Vincent is almost impossible, knowing all of the power he held," Chloe said. "I hope you understand, Diamond."

Diamond stared at Chloe with such a pitiful gaze, "Of course, I understand your situation. If I were in your position, I would also think twice about telling Mr. Phoenix Gray because of the circumstances surrounding them. Besides, we both know…."

Diamond and Chloe stared at each other and nodded in unison as they understood each other, "We both know that Vernon Phoenix Gray is the devil. There is no way to guess whether he will help or throw us hell."

Diamond knew that Mr. Phoenix Gray could not be trusted. Even for her, who had worked with him for a while, she still couldn't guess his mind, nor she could trust that man. The way his brain wired was strange.

So, even if Chloe or Diamond told the whole experience, there was no guarantee that Vernon would help her sister-in-law. In fact, he might use this as a weapon or blackmail material.

"Okay, even if you got bound by a contract with Mr. Phoenix Gray, it doesn't mean I cannot help you. I will help you in any way possible, girl! Just ask!"

Chloe smiled thin and stared at her meaningfully, "I don't know what to ask for now. I just hope that you stay, my friend. I… I don't have any friends for ten years straight…."

"DUH! That's given for!" Diamond was aggravated with Chloe, who didn't seem to demand anything. "Miss girl, why are your standard so low? You deserve a lot more! That bastard— ah, this is making my blood boil!"

"Hahaha! Relax, Diamond, I'm very realistic at this point in life. After all, I'm not young anymore."

Diamond and Chloe heard the CEO's office door click, which was opened from the inside.

Vernon's head peeked from the door, and their eyes met. Vernon's hawk gaze looked sharp and brooding, but his cheeks were a little red as he suddenly said, "Diamond, take my drink from the fridge, make sure it's cold."

"Your drink, ah, you mean the bana—" Diamond zipped her mouth instantly when Vernon glared at her with a look that could kill;

"Understood, Sir."

"Make sure to hide it well, don't let anyone see it," Vernon said. He glanced at Chloe and added, "And don't let anyone know except us. This is an order."

"… Yes, sir," Diamond tried her best not to roll her eyes as she thought this was ridiculous. But since it was an order from her boss, she needed to work professionally.

Chloe was staring at Vernon and Diamond simultaneously as they conversed. After Diamond left to take something from the fridge, Chloe's eyes naturally fell to Vernon.

"What are you looking at?" Vernon glared at her.

Chloe was still scared with his venomous gaze, so she lowered her head, "It's nothing, Sir."

Vernons scoffed, and when Diamond returned with a drink hidden inside her pocket, she quickly entered the CEO's office with Vernon and returned empty-handed.

Diamond closed the door carefully and sighed as she sat on her seat again, "That guy is seriously weird, ridiculous."

"What did you bring to him?"

"I'm not allowed to tell, but seriously, it's unimportant," Diamond replied. "He is currently eating the lunchbox that you brought."

"I see. Did he enjoy it?"

"He complained there is nothing crispy to complete it," Diamond replied.

"AH! The cracker!" Chloe remembered that she bought a cracker because it was a bowl of oriental fried rice that would be great with a cracker. She forgot that it was still in her car.

​ Chloe got up and walked to the VIP elevator, "I will return to get the cracker. I had it in my car."

Diamond grinned when she realized what would happen next, but she didn't try to stop her miss gurl because her unreasonable boss lowkey deserved it.

**

Chloe returned to CEO's floor five minutes later. She rushed with a bag of crackers in her hand. She walked to the CEO's office without asking for permission because she thought Vernon was just eating after all.

Click.

"Sir, I forgot about the cracker—" Chloe was stunned when she saw Vernon had eaten half of the lunch she brought and was currently drinking banana milk.

How could she know it was banana milk? Because it was what Mackie drank, it was Mackie's favorite, so Chloe stocked three big cartons in her fridge. It even had the same cute cartoon character in the small carton that Vernon was holding right now.

And it wasn't the first banana milk he had because there were two small empty cartons on the table.

They were staring at each other for a while. Vernon went silent. With the straw still inside his mouth. He watched in a daze as Chloe silently walked to his table and put the cracker on the table.

"I—I will take these empty cartons, Sir," Chloe said. She picked up the two empty banana milk cartons and saw rice at the edge of his lips. "Sir, there is rice on your cheek."
