Vernon's expression worsened when Chloe asked about the signing process with Vincent.
He still felt unsatisfied with how his Big bro had become. Vernon expected Vincent to fight back at least a bit more so he'd get satisfaction when he crushed him.
Vernon imagined himself stomping on Vincent's face with his boots, making sure that bastard knew the feeling of humiliation. Too bad Vernon didn't get what he wanted.
"He signed everything, but that's it," Vernon replied.
"That's it?" Chloe tilted her head slightly. "Isn't that good? That means there's no problem, right? You've acquired the Gray company. You defeated him and saved the lives of thousands of employees by not firing them."
"Yeah…" Vernon replied dejectedly.
Chloe sensed he still had unfinished business, so she asked, "You should be more honest with me, darling. Tell me what's on your mind. Don't worry. I will always be by your side."
Vernon was thinking about it for a moment. He disliked having to expose some of his dark thoughts to Chloe.
But with how she tried to calm him down, he realized that Chloe must've been concerned.
"I don't feel satisfied," Vernon admitted truthfully.
"You don't feel satisfied? I thought you did a great job."
"I know I did a great job," Vernon said. "But maybe I did too much because I expected Vincent to struggle. I want him to look at me with extreme hatred in his eyes. I want to see him trying to hold himself from attacking me."
"I want him to suffer, but what I saw was just a shell of an empty man," Vernon said. "Vincent becomes so meek and weak. He doesn't have the will to fight back, and he doesn't even try to question me about many things. He just sits there and signs everything even after I try to provoke him."
Chloe sighed when she listened to Vernon's confession.
She knew they had a difference in this.
Chloe was angry at Vincent for abusing her for ten years straight. But she wasn't a vengeful type. She dragged Vincent through the mud and shamed him on a national broadcast to ensure she could be free.
Her main goal was to break free from Vincent's chain, not to torture that bastard. So when she finally got the good life that she wanted, she felt this was the end goal, and she didn't need to do anything else to ruin Vincent's life.
But Vernon was different.
He was cunning, ambitious, and driven by rage and hatred.
Chloe wanted to tell Vernon to let go of his anger because it wouldn't benefit him.
'But then again, Vincent had done so much to torture Little Vernon. He treated Vernon like a dog, a pet that needs to obey him all the time….'
Vernon studied Chloe's face, and his gaze softened, "Don't be scared of me, love. I'm only this cruel to him. I won't do anything to hurt you and our little family."
"I'm not scared. I'm just thinking of a way for you to get your revenge," Chloe said. "Though I'm not exactly vengeful, I know Vincent deserves to take all the pain he inflicted on you. So I want to help you as much as you helped me before."
Vernon stared at his beloved for a while.
He already had an idea to break Vincent completely, which would also be useful during the divorce court.
"Actually, I have a plan that will satisfy me but also would be useful for us in the near future," Vernon said.
Chloe got excited, thinking that would be a win-win situation. She also wanted to get the divorce paper as soon as possible, "Really? Then tell me, don't worry, I will help you no matter what. We're in this together, right?"
"Right," Vernon nodded after getting his assurance. "We are in this together. I want a happy ending for us after all the pain that Vincent inflicted."
Thus, Vernon told Chloe about this nefarious plan to hit Vincent deep in his pride until he couldn't recover after this.
After understanding the plan, Chloe's expression changed from curiosity to shock to joy.
"It's a great plan. Though, honestly, I pity him a bit," Chloe sighed. "He will be a broken man after this."
ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm Vernon couldn't help but feel a little jealous whenever Chloe sympathized with Vincent. In his head, Chloe should always hate Vincent, so there was no chance for that bastard to steal Chloe back.
Though he knew his fear was unfounded, he didn't want to take any chance. The idea of Chloe leaving him was enough to drive him insane.
"Don't pity him. I won't let you think about him in a good way," Vernon said. "You're mine, Chloe Phoenix Gray."
Chloe chuckled.
She had gotten used to Vernon and his possessiveness.
She was initially scared of him, but now that they were about to marry, Chloe realized Vernon was starving for her attention. He wanted to hog on her all the time.
"I don't have any good memories with him, Vernon. Whenever I think about Vincent, I can only remember all the pain he inflicted. I remember desperately begging on the floor, because I don't want to die in his hands, because I know nobody will take care of Mackie if I die," Chloe smiled bitterly. "I pity him because I keep thinking about all the what-ifs in our marriage life."
"Well, too bad that Vincent has burned all the bridges, and there is no reason for me to stay now," Chloe said. "So, Vernon Phoenix Gray, you don't need to worry that I will leave you. Besides, I am pregnant with your baby, remember? The baby daddy needs to take responsibility."
Vernon was satisfied with her answer. He kissed her deeply, wrapping his arms around her hips tighter, and then asked, "So, are you into this plan as well?"
"Yes, I think your plan will help me to get an uncontested divorce," Chloe replied. She giggled as she imagined something sweet, "I can't wait to marry you, my handsome big wolf."
