Unfortunately, before he could reach her and say any of those, a man suddenly blocked his path and grabbed him by his shoulder.
Vernon grabbed Vincent by his shoulder and grasped it so tight that Vincent could feel the pain in his shoulder.
"You're not allowed to touch her, Big bro," Vernon said. He noticed that Vincent's eyes dimd instantly the mont he saw Vernon, and Vernon was actually quite satisfied with the reason. "Why aren't you surprised? I thought your reaction would be much more explosive than this, Big bro."
Vincent glared at Vernon as if he couldn't wait to kill his little brother. He was so angry, but simultaneously, he realized that he was no match against Vernon now.
He had been stripped of his power, and Vernon took almost all of his assets and influence, so he couldn't crush Vernon like an bug anymore.
"I have guessed that it must be you, Vernon," Vincent said. "You have been obsessed with Chloe since you were young. You treated her like a goddess, and I know you're probably the one who can be crazy enough to keep her hidden all this ti from ."
"Hehe, you're right. I treat her like a goddess, and I am crazy enough to hide her from you for a long ti," Vernon sneered. "But it's your fault because you didn't try to do anything. If you had tried to suppress while I was still developing my business, the situation would've been very different."
"You traitor! You dare to go against after everything I did for you!" Vincent snapped. He tried to punch Vernon, but Vernon swiftly dodged it and grabbed Vincent's wrist.
"You keep saying that you've done so much for . Then let ask you, Big bro. What kind of help did you give to ?" Vernon asked. His gaze deepened as he stared at his Big brother maliciously. "You keep saying I owe you a lot, but I never rember you trying to help ."
Vincent went silent instantly. He glared at Vernon, but he couldn't find anything that could support his claim.
He simply felt that Vernon owed him a lot, even though Vincent never did anything to help him. Vernon SHOULD be on his knees right now, acting like an obedient dog to him because he was supposed to do that.
The dynamic between the Gray brothers had always been like that.
Vincent was supposed to be on top, and Vernon was his lap dog.
It was the idea that Vaughn had implanted in his mind for years and Vincent desperately tried to maintain that status quo.
"If you say your tiny contract helps , you must be mistaken. Your tiny and cheap project is not worth my ti. I was just trying to fool you into thinking I am your loyal guard dog," Vernon said. "In fact, the only thing I could rember from you is how you fooled into thinking that Chloe hated for over a decade. You bring endless pain and nightmare, yet you still dare to think I owe you sothing?!"
Vincent gritted his teeth.
"So what if I don't give you anything? Do you think you deserve any of it? My life was great before you ca to New York!" Vincent debated. "I know you must've done sothing to separate from my wife, you ungrateful bastard!"
Vernon laughed when he was accused, "You know what's funny, Big bro? I didn't do anything to you or your company. Not until Chloe decided to leave you after you kept cheating and abusing her. After that, I realize I must fight back and cut your power and influence, or else Chloe will never get the happiness she deserves."
"YOU—!" Vincent was speechless after Vernon kept arguing back with a good answer that he couldn't retort. He had been trying to suppress Vernon for years and still decided to fight back.
This disobedient dog needs to be punished!
But before he could yell at him even more, Chloe stepped forward and stood right beside Vernon, "I'm not here to see you fighting against Vernon," she said coldly. "You know that you're no match to him physically."
Vincent glared at Chloe.
He expected Chloe to cower like the ek wife she was. But she stood on her ground and stared back at Vincent without fear, "If you want to talk to , then you need to calm down and be civil, or else this whole eting is over, and we can et again during the trial."
Vincent was so angry that his chest rose up and down. But he knew this was the right ti for him to start persuading Chloe to stop the divorce. This was his only chance, so he couldn't ss it up.
Vincent took a deep breath to calm himself down, then said, "Alright, I also have many questions for you, Chloe. You've been on my mind for so long, yet you hurt like this."
Vernon was worried that Chloe would sway because of Vincent's sweet words. He glanced at her and saw nothing but nonchalance in her eyes. She didn't even take his words seriously.
So he was assured that Chloe could handle this. All he had to do was to watch over them outside, just in case Vincent would dare to touch his woman.
"I will talk to you as long as you promise not to touch or try to get close to ," Chloe said firmly. "If you can't do that, then we're not going to talk."
Vincent gritted his teeth, "FINE! Now let go, you filthy dog! I need to talk with my wife!"
Vernon finally released Vincent's shoulder and whispered to Chloe, 'I will be outside watching over you. Call if you need my help as well.'
Chloe smiled and kissed Vernon on the lips for a second, "Thank you, Honey. Don't worry about . This conversation between Vincent and I won't take long."
