"Co on, Diamond. What are you hesitating about? I just need the full story before making a… fair judgnt!" Vernon urged.
Diamond zipped her lips tight while signaling Vernon to enter the CEO's office.
She was afraid that her hogirl would suddenly pop out from that elevator and hear what they were talking about.
She wouldn't be able to forgive herself if she saw the betrayed look in her hogirl's eyes.
Vernon was already impatient. He clicked his tongue as a sign of displeasure but understood the signal, "Fine, co in, and let's discuss this inside my office."
Vernon and Diamond entered the CEO's office, and Vernon told Diamond to lock it, just in case Chloe might accidentally storm in.
Vernon sat on his boss's chair and put his hands on the desk. He stared at Diamond, standing straight in front of him, "Okay, you can speak now."
Diamond sighed in relief.
"Sir, I did a small investigation about Chelsea's husband. His na is Tommy Davis, 40 years old," Diamond reported.
"A small investigation?" Vernon frowned. "Would that be enough for to make a fair judgnt of what I should do next?"
"Should be enough because there is nothing interesting about him other than this one fact that I discovered," Diamond said. She took another deep breath because the mont she opened her mouth and spilled everything, that would be the end of Chelsea's small family.
"Sir, Tommy Davis is an unemployed middle-aged man who works odd jobs that barely give him money. He is basically a deadweight for his wife," Diamond said. "And also, he cheats on her wife with a woman in her early twenties, presumably a college student."
Vernon frowned upon hearing the information, "Are you sure about that? You've just investigated her family in less than 24 hours and you already uncovered that kind of secret?"
"I am a hundred percent certain, Sir," Diamond confird. "And it's not really a secret, because I discovered his affair while he was going to the crowded mall, watching so movies with his date."
"I see…" Vernon nodded. "I got the gist now. I think I will use that bastard to hurt his wife."
Diamond gulped. She had a few rough ideas about what her boss would do next.
"May I know your plan, Sir?"
"Hm. I will send soone to attack Chelsea when she is on her way ho, should be at dusk," Vernon said. "I won't kill her or even gravely injure her. But I will instruct that guy to slash her cheek, so she will have a permanent scar that will make her face ugly."
Diamond gulped. She knew that was a deserved revenge for what Chelsea did to Chloe, who wasn't even trying to attack.
But it was still scary to listen to.
"Then, I will use her husband— Tommy Davis. I will send soone to take a picture of him on his date with his girlfriend, and then use it to blackmail him."
"I will force him to drop as much money as possible to empty his wife's bank account, or I will send the pictures to his wife," Vernon said.
"And if he refused to send any money?" Diamond asked. As much as she rembered, Tommy Davis was literally broke 90% of the ti. He was leeching off his wife's salary.
Working odd jobs in New York wouldn't give you a lot, especially when you have a family to feed and a side chick to please.
"That is still a win-win situation for . His family will be torn apart if he gets discovered, and it will probably lead to divorce," Vernon replied. "After all, who would keep a deadbeat husband who's leeching off of your wallet and still has the audacity to cheat?"
'But, how about her kids?' Diamond wanted to ask that, but she refrained. She didn't want to think too much of the aftermath because she knew damn well her boss didn't give a shit about it.
Diamond knew how ruthless Vernon could be, and he must be furious when he saw the wound on Chloe's beautiful face.
But no matter how ruthless he was, Diamond knew that her boss wouldn't hurt the kids. After all, they were all innocent.
'I'm sorry, ho girl. But I hope we can sort this out later. I hope I can help the kids with the compensation. But I will never allow anyone to walk free after inflicting horrible scars on your face!' Diamond toughened herself.
"Okay, I will start planning for it, Diamond. You can go out and resu your work as always," Vernon instructed. "And don't you dare tell — I an, don't you dare tell Chloe about this. She is too timid. Too soft hearted. She would be mad at if she knew I did sothing to her family."
"Understood, Sir. Don't worry, I will never tell her because I am also involved in this."
Diamond and Vernon reached an agreent, sothing that rarely happened.
Diamond finally left the office after she spoke about everything she knew, and she saw her boss started calling soone to deal with this.
She unlocked and opened the door. However, when she went out, she stumbled upon Chloe standing in front of the CEO's office.
They were both startled and gasped at the sa ti.
"H—Hogirl, why are you here?" Diamond asked awkwardly. She quickly closed the door as she didn't want Chloe to see or hear Vernon calling one of his subordinates to deal with Chelsea and Tommy.
"Ah— uhm…. I'm here to deliver Vernon's lunch, of course…." Chloe replied. She noticed Diamond's nervousness, and it got her wondering. "Diamond, are you okay? You look… nervous."
"Nervous? Who? ? W—Why would I be nervous? There's nothing to be nervous about, nothing at all!" Diamond was afraid that she would run her mouth and accidentally spill sothing.
Usually, she was soone who could keep a secret and act very calm and collected in any situation. But when facing her hogirl after reporting her findings, she felt indescribable guilt that made her nervous.
