Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother Chapter 687 687



It was late in the evening. Diamond was still busy checking emails before forwarding them to her Boss. She checked her watch and grumbled as she guessed it'd take at least two more hours before she finished her tasks.

"Damn, today is Christmas Eve, and I'm yet to finish my work," she complained. "Why do I still have to do this when my brothers are already taking a break, probably watching cheesy Christmas movies with Mom and Dad?"

Vernon happened to overhear everything as he opened the door. He stared at Diamond, who was still busy checking emails. She seed in such a bad mood that she kept cursing her Boss while working.

Thus, Vernon waited for a while until he opened his mouth.

"You can go ho now, Diamond," Vernon said.

Diamond looked over her shoulder and jolted when she saw her Boss. She was complaining about many things, including how her Boss was a crazy workaholic that forced everyone to work everyday nonstop.

Diamond rembered how Vernon forced her to work during Christmas and New Year last year. She was so miserable that she couldn't wait to resign. She knew the pay as Vernon's secretary was amazing, but she also had a big, warm family. So Diamond didn't want to miss any kind of family gathering, be it only for a small party or a big feast, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year.

In the end, she stopped herself from putting that resignation letter on Mr. Phoenix Gray's desk because she knew she had to return to Modeling again after she resigned.

Modeling was fun, but it wasn't paying as much, and she wasn't keen on the drama as well.

Knowing that she might've offended her Boss, Diamond apologized, "I'm so sorry, Boss. I'm just a little stressed out with the tasks. I'll finish it quickly and give it to you."

"… Go ho now," Vernon said. "Why are you still in the office during Christmas Eve? Don't you have a big family?"

"I—I do," Diamond nodded reluctantly. Then she rembered her brothers and parents, who were probably eating her Momma's special fried chicken and potato wedges while watching a random Christmas movie. Then she got sad again, "But I care about my job too. I'll try to finish this quickly and go to my parents' house after this."

"You won't have enough ti," Vernon said. "There is too much to do, just do it on the 26th."

"But Sir, I can't leave you alone in the office!" Diamond insisted. She rembered how Vernon spent his Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even New Year in the office. He looked so lonely, yet he'd busy himself in his office, trying to work his ass off.

Vernon was also usually very prone to anger during the holiday season. He'd snap at anyone or anything that irritated him. He was basically a ball of unpleasantness.

He also never brought any won during the holiday season, which was weird, because many won wanted to have sex with him during Christmas, becoming his Christmas 'gift.'

"Huh? What are you saying?" Vernon frowned. "I'm going ho soon, that's why I told you to go ho now."

Vernon lifted his left hand, showing his briefcase, indicating that he didn't want to spend Christmas Eve here.

Diamond's jaw dropped. This was the first ti her Boss left so early on Christmas Eve.

Noticing her shock, Vernon finally explained, "Chloe told to go ho early for Christmas Eve, because she cooks a lot of food for all of us. She's been cooking since noon, so it's a feast I can't miss."

Vernon had a big smile on his face as he talked about Chloe. His eyes also brightened, anxiously wanting to see his beloved in person once more. It was so obvious that he was antsy. He couldn't wait to return ho to et with his family. Which was sothing that Diamond never saw him doing during the holiday season.

She was actually so busy with work that she had briefly forgotten that her Boss wasn't a single dog anymore.

He had a future wife, a daughter, and other family mbers waiting for him in his house. He was a completely different man once he t the love of his life.

"So, you should go ho now, Diamond. I'm serious," Vernon insisted. "I know how depressing it was to spend this night without your family. Don't worry about work, I already managed the rest, making sure that we won't get any disturbance for two days."

Diamond was still astonished by her boss' initiative to help her. It was sothing that had never happened before.

'I really should thank my hogirl for turning my boss into one hell of a great man,' Diamond thought. 'I don't think she knows what kind of wondrous effect she has on Vernon. She basically turns him into a much better person, simply by existing on his side.'

'Though, it's also relieving to know that Chloe is a good person. So she actually does her best to support Vernon,' Diamond thought. Honestly, she was skeptical about Chloe before.

She already knew that her Boss had been obsessed with Chloe for a long ti, though he never admitted it. She thought that Chloe was a bad woman because everyone who was emotionally connected with Vernon seed to be a bad person, or at least a person you wouldn't try to befriend genuinely.

They were either cunning foxes that wanted nothing but money or power.

Or just genuinely evil, like Vincent Gray.

So she thought that Chloe must've been an evil person too. After all, she married a bastard like Vincent.

Until Diamond t with Chloe in person.

From one look, Diamond already knew that woman truly had a good heart.

She didn't know how a good woman could marry an evil bastard like him, but it was obvious that she was desperately trying to run away and cut ties with Vincent.

'I never thought that Vernon and Chloe would actually fit together as a couple. They are seriously two different kinds of people,' Diamond thought. 'But I guess they do complete each other.'
