Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Diamond drove Mackie and Chloe to each school Vernon had confirmed was safe for them. Vernon made sure that the Principal of these schools had no history of connection with Vincent or any of the Gray family. The students' family backgrounds were more diverse to minimize the probability of the parents having close contact with Vincent.

? Vincent made a great deal of effort just to ensure Mackie and Chloe's safety, so Diamond thought she should at least help him by assisting her boss' favorites.

They arrived at the first school located around the corner of Manhattan. It was a private school inside a tall building with no front or backyard. It might not be as exclusive as Mackie's old school because Mackie's old school was inside a gated community with a big indoor gym, huge outdoor track, garden, et cetera.

But it was still a good school that can guarantee Mackie's safety.

Mackie stood in front of the main door of the first school they were about to enter. She stared at the American flag waving right above the door.

"Let's go, Mackie," Chloe grabbed Mackie's hand and followed Diamond, who led them into the school.

Mackie walked through the corridor. She looked around and noticed that everything wasn't as spacious as the one in her old school.

The hallway wasn't huge, and the ceiling wasn't as tall.

She quickly glanced at one of the classes with the door opened and realized that even the class wasn't as spacious and colorful as her old school.

This place was a little strange for her since she was used to the luxury she got from her Daddy. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

She looked up to check on her Mommy and realized that Mommy was also looking around.

But she didn't seem to be bothered with the size of the new school. She looked very excited instead.

"Dear, do you know that Mommy used to go to a school like this when I was your age?" Chloe said. "Well, not as good as this, but it has a similar feeling!"

"Really?" Mackie tilted her head. "But it's not as big as my old school, Mommy."

"That's true. But it's filled with warm people. I still remember my best friend when I was in elementary. Most of them were also my neighbors, so we were used to play together during recess, weekend, or after school."

"Maybe you will be able to find lots of new friends here," Chloe said.

Mackie stared at her Mommy without blinking. She always wondered why her Mommy was so different from Daddy.

Daddy told her that she shouldn't befriend kids with no good background, and she should always report every kid she made friends with, and Daddy would make sure that they were friend-able.

Thus, Mackie reported about her new friends-- Jaden and Mia, to her Daddy before.

But Mommy never had that kind of restriction on her. Mommy told her to befriend everyone but never say yes to everything. If her friends wanted to do bad things, Mackie should never follow them because good friends would not ask you to do bad things together.

So far, Mommy's advice was far better than Daddy's.

Because Jaden and Mia suddenly bullied her after they left the mansion. But she stayed friends with other kids whom she didn't report to Daddy.

'Un… maybe Mommy is right. I can befriend everyone, but if they're bad guys that want me to do bad, I have to refuse!'

Thus, with that new mindset in mind, Mackie realized that the new school didn't seem to be all that bad.

Everything might be smaller than in her previous school, but if everyone was nice to her, and nobody would bully her again, then it was much better than her old school.

Diamond knocked on the Principal's office, and the Principal opened it from the inside. She told them to sit on the seat facing the Principal's desk.

The Principal was a young woman in her early thirties, so she was around Chloe's age, which put Chloe at ease since it was less likely for this woman to have a deep connection with Vincent or the Gray family.

"Good morning, Miss Johnson, Mr. Phoenix Gray already told me about your arrival today," the Principal greeted. "My name is Miranda Moralez, you can call me Miss Moralez, especially you, Mackenzie," Mrs. Morazle winked at Mackie.

Mackie was surprised that the Principal already knew her name. She looked at her Mommy and saw that Mommy was also as shocked as she was.

"Do you know about us already?" Chloe asked.

"Naturally," Mrs. Moralez nodded. "Mr. Phoenix Gray told me he is already married but told me to keep it a secret. Your name is Mrs. Chloe Phoenix Gray, and the little girl is…." Mrs. Moralez shifted her eyes towards Mackie and smiled. "Miss Mackenzie Rose Phoenix Gray, correct?'

Chloe's jaw dropped instantly. Now she knew why the Principal didn't seem bothered by the lack of documents for Mackie.

Turned out Vernon claimed them as his. Chloe was his wife, and Mackie was his daughter.

Chloe wondered if Vernon claimed Mackie as his biological or adopted daughter since he'd been around 17 years old when Chloe was pregnant.

"He told me to keep his daughter's identity a secret until he is ready to go public with the marriage," Mrs. Morales said. "I will give Mackenzie a new surname, if you don't mind, and I will make sure that she is well protected as she's integrating herself inside this school."

Mackie shifted her gaze between her Mommy and then at the Principal a few times. The more Mrs. Moralez spoke, the more confused the little girl got.

'Why do I have Uncle's surname now?'

'When did Mommy marry Uncle? Did they get married without telling Daddy or me?'

'If Mommy is married to Uncle, then what happens to Daddy?' 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

'Uuu… this is confusing, my head is hurting…' Mackie complained in silence.

Despite her curiosity, she didn't dare to ask Mommy right now because Mommy looked so serious while talking to Mrs. Moralez.
