Diamond rolled her eyes, "Geez, you two need to work on your communication. It's so ridiculous how a stupid argument could end up becoming a huge one because of a misunderstanding."
"S—Sorry, I was just unsure if he will be mad or not…." Chloe said.
"Why would I be mad?" Vernon intercepted. He walked towards Chloe and held her hand tightly. "You know that I did everything for you. I know that you will be distressed knowing there will be thousands of people who'll lose their job, so I decide to just merge the company instead of disbanding it."
"It's just… sometimes I get irritated thinking that you will leave me for that bastard. I will never allow that to happen, it gets me angry that bastard is still in your mind sometimes," Vernon said.
"Vernon…" Chloe and Vernon stared intimately at each other. They were going for a kiss before Diamond grabbed their shoulders and yelled;
"Get a room, you two. I have a lot of documents to work on here!"
Chloe chuckled, "Okay then, thank you so much, Diamond."
"Don't mention it, Girl. It's part of my job and I love doing it," Diamond assured. She looked at her boss and asked, "Sir, do you want me to prepare some documentation for Chloe and Vincent's divorce?"
"Yes," Vernon nodded. "Prepare for my meeting with him, and prepare for Chloe's divorce paper. This is the right time to strike."
"Got it, Boss."

Chloe and Vernon returned to the CEO's office with a strange feeling of embarrassment between them.
Diamond was right. They really needed to work on their communication because they often fought over very small things.
"So, um… how about Vincent?" Chloe asked. "Will you let him stay as the CEO of the Gray company?"
"I assure you that I will make sure there won't be a huge lay off. I will still weed out Vincent's loyal workers, the ones who are on the top of the company, and that includes Vincent himself," Vernon said. "I will fire him, and replace him with one of my subordinates as the one in charge of the whole company."
Chloe sighed in relief. She was glad that Vernon wasn't planning on something malicious.
"Then, how about the divorce? You told Diamond just now that she should prepare all the divorce papers," Chloe asked.
"I will go to meet Vincent tomorrow. We will talk about purchasing the Gray company, and I assure you that I WILL have him sign the acquisition documents," Vernon said. "I don't want to miss the chance, while I'm busy with Vincent, you should go with Diamond to the court and file for the divorce petition."
Chloe had no more hesitation. She knew Vernon was doing all he could to dissolve her marriage, and she had to take her part.
"You should bring Meyer with you. You need a bodyguard or two while you're with Vincent. We don't know what kind of trap he will lay, so it's better to stay guarded," Chloe said. "I will go with Diamond to the court, and I will tell you later once I'm done with it."
Honestly, Vernon preferred Chloe to be guarded by Meyer instead of him. Because Meyer had the skill and strength of ten adult males, he should be more than enough to protect Chloe from any harm.
But at the same time, he also wanted to trust in Chloe's judgment.
"Fine then, I will go with Meyer and you will go with Diamond. Don't forget to tell me everything, and be safe, we don't know if Vincent still had some witch hunt against you," Vernon said.
Though he said that Chloe would only go with Diamond, he wouldn't take any risk. He would still send at least four more men to tail her car later to ensure Chloe was safe.
How about him?
'Hah, I can slap my big brother in the face and he won't even be able to do anything,' Vernon sneered. 'I doubt he will do anything against me though. He's a defeated man at this point.'

"Good morning, Mr. Gray, today is an important day for you. Please have breakfast first."
Vincent opened his eyes once he heard Khloe's voice.
He wished that Khloe had the same voice as Chloe, but she didn't.
She might have tried to imitate the way Chloe spoke, but she still couldn't match her in any way.
Chloe's soft voice made him want to snuggle with her in bed for the rest of the morning.
She had this voice that comforted him whenever Vincent was upset, which was apparent when they were still young adults.
Chloe was bright and cheerful, but she knew how to calm him down whenever he was angry at anything, which was quite common, because Vincent took over his late father's personality, making him prone to outbursts for the slightest reason.
"Mr. Gray…"
Vincent finally reacted when Khloe walked with a tray of food for his breakfast.
He had been staying inside his room a lot. He didn't want to go out unless it was absolutely necessary. His heart had been crushed, and so did his will to live.
He kept thinking about the real Chloe, and the only reason he allowed Khloe to take care of him was that he could at least get a phony one to serve as a substitute for the real Chloe.
But he knew—even Khloe knew—that his heart was reserved only for the real Chloe for the rest of his life.
But that didn't stop Khloe from falling in love with Vincent.
Khloe put the folded table on the bed and served breakfast for Vincent.
He also noticed that Khloe had begun to imitate what the real Chloe usually would make, but the taste was absolutely horrendous compared to Chloe's cooking.
Unfortunately, rarely tasted Chloe's cooking anymore after they got married. He just felt that Chloe was too good at making a homemade cook. He thought she would start sharing her delicious home meals with other men when he wasn't at home, which made him crazy jealous to the point that he discarded his logic.
So it was better to destroy her confidence completely by feeding her homemade food to the dogs, so she wouldn't even dare to cook anymore.
