Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Chloe grabbed the access key and the tumbler in one hand and told her daughter that she could watch TV for now because Chloe would only go out for an hour, so Mackie wouldn't feel so lonely.

Chloe went down the elevator to the eleventh floor and walked to room 1112.

The door was slightly ajar, just like what Dorothea said, so she knocked three times before entering and closed it behind her.

She thought she was being smart and careful because the corridor around this floor was empty right now.

Unfortunately, all of her movements in the CCTV camera from the moment she left the penthouse, entered the elevator, and entered room 1112, which was obviously occupied by a guest.

"Shit…" Luis swallowed his saliva with difficulty as he had just witnessed the woman his boss treated like a wife cheating on him. "Damn, this woman is crazy… She already has everything from Mr. Phoenix Gray but still decides to cheat on him. I don't think she'd be able to score someone better than him."

"Maybe it's just way over her head, thinking she could seduce everyone just because she's beautiful," Luis murmured.

Honestly, he didn't want to inform his boss right now. Because he was scared, this call would be the start of a murder case.

Mr. Phoenix Gray might have a clean record in public, but he was so intimidating, and his eyes were harbored malicious intentions toward everyone around him. So murdering someone might be a possible case for a man like Vernon.

If he knew that his woman cheated on him, either that woman would be dead, that man would be dead, or both.

Nevertheless, Luis was in a dilemma right now.

He kept thinking and thinking until he couldn't handle it anymore and grabbed his phone, "Screw this. I'm just doing my job!"

Thus, he called his boss, and Vernon picked up his call after just one beep.

"Do you have something for me?" Vernon asked.

"H—Hello, Boss. Yes, I have a… uh… bad news for you…" Luis said.

Vernon took a deep breath. He clenched his fist until his nail dug into his skin, and blood started trickling down, "It's fine, tell me," he said in a low voice, but it contained so much threat even Luis was scared right now.

"Sir I saw Miss— uh, your woman left the penthouse about fifteen minutes ago, around seven past ten. She used the VIP elevator to the eleventh floor, and walked straight to room 1112."

'Room 1112…' Vernon tried to put that number in his mind, so he wouldn't kill the wrong person after this whole cheating bullshit ended.

"She's carrying a tumbler with her. She knocked on the door three times before entering and closing the door. That's all, Sir."

…

It took Vernon a while to finally answer. He was losing his mind in the office right now.

"Good, keep me informed, call me again when you see her getting out of that room," Vernon instructed.

"Understood, Sir."

Beep.

—

Vernon hung up the call first. He slammed his phone on the desk and looked down. He stared at the empty desk, trying to empty his mind so he would calm down.

Because both his mind and heart were in so much rage that he could kill a person right now.

However, as he kept looking down, he noticed the tumbler that Chloe gave him today sitting at the edge of the desk. There was a banana-apple smoothie inside, which was supposed to be a very special thing that Chloe made only for their small family.

"Heh, turns out you're also giving it to another man, how disgusting," Vernon said.

He tried to ignore the tumbler, but it became too much of a thorn in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and grabbed the tumbler. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

"BULLSHIT! YOU'RE LYING TO ME!" Vernon raised his hand and smashed the tumbler to the floor until the inside spilled out.

He stomped on the tumbler and destroyed it after a few stomps, but he was still unable to curb his anger.

He got angrier each second and knew he wouldn't be able to work today.

He turned to the desk in front of him and kicked it with so much power that the big, heavy desk actually fell down in one kick, "LIAR! YOU'RE A FUCKING LIAR!"

Diamond had just arrived in the office when she saw that the light inside the CEO's office had been turned on. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

The security guard and receptionist said that Mr. Phoenix Gray came earlier than usual, which wasn't really a surprise for Diamond.

Diamond had already witnessed how much of a workaholic her boss was. It was after living with Chloe that he toned it down a bit. As he was in a constantly good mood, his performance and efficiency at work increased a lot even though he didn't spend as much time in the office these days.

And above all those improvements, Diamond was most grateful for the positive change Chloe gave to her boss. He became less irritable, less temperamental, and could actually hold a conversation with her. Hence, their relationship felt more like a good friend and casual coworker than a tyrannical boss and secretary.

'Maybe I should ask if he wants a coffee,' Diamond thought. She put her bag on the table and walked to the CEO's office door.

She was about to knock when she heard;

"LIAR! YOU'RE A FUCKING LIAR!"

Followed by a loud thump which Diamond guessed must be the desk. Then she heard another loud thump and glass shattering, and everything just turned into chaos after that.

Her boss kept on yelling and cursing like a madman. He kept calling someone a liar, and she knew it must've been another fight with her homegirl, Chloe.

"Ah, damn it," Diamond cursed in a low voice as she returned to her desk. "Everything must've been destroyed inside, and I have to replace everything with brand new stuff."

Diamond massaged her temple as she started imagining all the stuff she had to handle, "What's their problem now? I bet this is just another misunderstanding."
