Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Chapter 781 Chapter 781

Vincent was frustrated because everyone adored Vernon, even though Vernon was obviously a backstabbing bastard who used his vulnerability to ruin the Gray company.

He was the one that shouldn't be trusted, but Vincent was the one who got hated in the end.

He gritted his teeth when he saw Vernon's face on the screen, smiling as if he was the good man in this story.

"Heh, there is no way my little brother is not like me. He is just wearing his mask better. There will be a time when he will take off his mask and show his true face," Vincent said.

He kept his mask for twenty-five years before Chloe until he had enough, and he finally showed his true self after getting married.

As he was still watching the news, he heard a knock on the door. He said nothing as he knew who it was anyway.

Khloe opened the door and stared meekly at Vincent, "Um, Vincent, you have a guest."

Vincent still disliked how Khloe began to call him by his first name without using honorifics. But he also didn't care enough to correct her.

"Who is it?" Vincent asked. He knew that his reputation was on the ground, so it was obvious that no sane person wanted to have anything to do with him.

In fact, all of his business partners who licked his boots before suddenly disappeared after the divorce trial. They even blocked his phone number for an obvious reason.

So it was a surprise that someone came to his mansion and wanted to meet him.

"It's Dorothea Gray, your mother," Khloe said. "She said she wants to have a conversation with you."

Vincent's eyes widened.

His mom practically disappeared right after she made a mess in the Gray Foundation before. He actually thought she was from an overdose, and thus he quickly forgot about her.

"Alright, I'll meet her soon. I have to take a bath first," Vincent said.

He knew that his mother must've wanted to laugh at his condition right now, and he didn't want to allow her to do that.

For the first time in the week, he bathed, sprayed his perfume, and wore a suit.

He walked through the corridor to the guest area and saw Dorothea sitting elegantly on the chair. It was a surprise because this Dorothea looked a lot more toned down than she was before she disappeared.

Dorothea, whom Vincent knew, always kept her figure. Despite her age, she looked youthful and arrogant, and she looked like a cold woman who wouldn't dare to crush anyone who dared to go against her.

But this woman was a little hunched. She wore a simple flower dress instead of the usual flashy gown. She looked kinder, like a regular old lady.

What shocked Vincent more was the two men standing behind her. It was Nigel, and Meyer, Vernon's bodyguard, who helped reprimand him when he was about to attack Chloe before.

Vincent's gaze darkened. He guessed that Dorothea must've been conspiring with Vernon this whole time.

"Good morning, Vincent," Dorothea greeted. "It's been a while since the last time we met."

Vincent sat on the opposite side, facing her with obvious hostility, "You don't need to act nice in front of me, Dorothea. You ruined my life by colluding with Vernon. Had I known you would turn your back on me, I would've killed you long ago."

"Really?" Dorothea kept her smile. She didn't seem to be affected by Vincent's words, but her heart was aching.

Vincent was once her beloved son. She tried her best to raise him right, and even after everything that had happened during the divorce trial, she wished that Vincent had become a new and better man.

But it seemed that her wish was in vain.

Vincent was still the same. He was still Vaughn 2.0, and nothing could change that.

"Well, you are not wrong, Vincent. After I froze the whole Gray foundation, I quickly lay low. But not because I'm scared of you. I don't mind death, truthfully," Dorothea smiled. "We are both sinners. We deserve to die a painful death. But I get my repentance from Chloe."

"She forgives me for all of my wrongdoing and tried her hardest to convince Vernon to at least tolerate my presence."

"Did he think?" Vincent scoffed. "I don't think Vernon wants you after what you've done to him. Do you still remember that you beat him with your wine bottle many times when he was young? You also berated him. I watched everything in joy, by the way."

"He doesn't accept me back, but he tolerates me at least," Dorothea said. "It is the best I can get after all the horrible things I did to him before. But it's okay. At least he trusts me to take care of four boys.

"Four boys?" Vincent frowned. "Did he have four children before getting with Chloe?"

"Oh, don't act dumb, Vincent. We both know that you are the one who made those four boys homeless," Dorothea said.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You don't remember how you influenced Chelsea until she killed her mother and almost slaughtered her children? They are under Chloe's custody and currently under my care," Dorothea replied. "They are doing well now."

Vincent went silent instantly.

He forgot about those boys after Chelsea was sentenced to life in prison. He was also busy with so much bad press about him, so the fate of those boys was pushed to the back of his mind.

But that didn't matter now. He couldn't be sentenced for that crime because there was no solid proof anyway.

"Did you beat those four boys with a beer bottle too? Don't forget to hit them in the face to make sure you make a mark on them."

Dorothea closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

There was no use in speaking with this heartless man anyway. It felt just like when she spoke with Vaughn back then.
