Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Chapter 776 Chapter 776

"A proof?" The judge was yet again caught off guard by Chloe's statement. "What proof do you have, Mrs. Gray? Did you record your husband beating you?"

"No, this building's CCTV recorded everything," Chloe said. She glanced at her lawyer, and the lawyer nodded in response.

The lawyer handed a flash disk to the bailiff, and the latter used the computer to project the video for everyone to see.

It was a CCTV recording, and they could see Vincent and Chloe Gray sitting at a table, facing each other.

Even though the CCTV couldn't record their conversation, they could see the gesture that Chloe and Vincent made, and they saw that Vincent looked like a rabid dog ready to snap at Chloe at any time.

After the argument broke out, Chloe Gray decided to leave Vincent alone, and everyone, including the judge, could see Vincent, who took a long step to stand right behind Chloe.

He raised his fist, ready to punch Chloe in the head. That strong punch would probably knock her out or, even worse, cause an internal injury.

Thankfully, a man stormed into the room and rushed to catch Vincent before he could hit Chloe.

The man locked Vincent in place, and not long after that, another man came in to help the young man who protected Chloe.

The judge hummed and asked, "Who is this man, Mrs. Gray?"

"That is my—brother-in-law, Vernon Phoenix Gray," Chloe turned around to point at Vernon. She was about to introduce Vernon as her lover but knew it would only worsen her situation, so she called him her brother-in-law.

Which wasn't wrong.

Though, Vernon wouldn't be her in-law anymore after this trial ended.

"The brother-in-law is on your side?" The judge asked.

Chloe opened her mouth, but before she could reply, Vincent suddenly interrupted.

"Brother-in-law? Heh, she is having an affair with my brother," Vincent sneered.

Chloe's lips thinned, and the judge was displeased with the interruption.

"This is not your time to speak yet, Mr. Vincent Gray."

Vincent zipped his mouth but glared at Chloe, angry at her.

The judge returned her gaze to Chloe and asked, "Is that true, Mrs. Gray? You're having an affair with your brother-in-law?"

Chloe looked over her shoulder to get assurance from Vernon, and Vernon replied with a nod.

Thus, she replied, "You may call it an affair, Your Honor. But I got together with him after I ran away from my husband. Vincent has been abusing me for ten years, isolating me until I have no friends, job, and nobody to support me except my brother-in-law. And we naturally get together after some time."

Vincent finally had a smirk after thinking that Chloe had screwed herself up. She shouldn't have admitted her relationship with Vernon because that meant the judge would be on his side now.

He got confident. After so much proof against him, he could finally say Chloe was just as bad as him.

The judge went silent for a moment, staring at Chloe, who showed no sign of nervousness, and then nodded, "You may sit down, Mrs. Gray."

Chloe returned to her seat, and it was time for Vincent next.

"Mr. Vincent Gray, you are not accompanied by any lawyer, I see," the judge mentioned.

"I don't need a lawyer, Your Honor," Vincent said as he stood before the judge. "I can defend myself, and let me tell you, that woman right there, is the most undisciplined, unbridled woman you'll ever see on earth."

"Care to explain that, Mr. Gray?" the judge asked.

Vincent nodded confidently, "I do admit that I cheated. But she has not been aesthetically pleasing for the past ten years. I tried to tolerate her, but she was just too much for me to like. So I decided to cheat."

The judge's lips twitched. She somehow already guessed the true characteristics of this man.

He might not realize it, but he was about to make the biggest mistake in his life, and the judge wouldn't stop him from it.

"But you hit her, Mr. Gray. We even have that CCTV footage played just now," the judge said.

"That's because she taunted me over her relationship with my brother. They are playing behind my back. They screwed my business over, making me angry, Your Honor."

"And that allows you to hit her?"

Vincent knew if he said yes, the judge would call him abusive. So he replied, "It's in the fit of rage, Your Honor. I would NOT do that regularly. It's because my wife has been taunting me so much, and I have had enough of her cheating. That's why I lost control over myself."

"But it shouldn't matter, right? My brother stopped me right before I could do anything. They are in this together to make me look bad!" Vincent stated as he tried to clear his name. "Your Honor, you should understand that I'm just a man, and just like a regular man, I will get violent when I'm angry."

The judge closed her eyes briefly and sucked deep breaths, "Thank you, Mr. Gray. You may return to your seat."

Vincent was confident. He smirked at Chloe, who had been staring at him during his testimony.

She didn't know if the judge's decision would go according to her plan. But she had tried her best, and she said what needed to be said.

What was left was the judge's decision.

The judge read the pleas from Chloe.

She didn't want a divorce settlement.

She didn't need child support for their daughter.

And all she wanted was full custody of her daughter and for the judge to erase visitation rights for Vincent due to his unstable mood and abusive behavior.

It took her a while to review the documents, and then she nodded after making her own decision.

She lifted her head and stared at Vincent and Chloe.

"Mr. Vincent Gray. Mrs. Chloe Gray, please come to the front and stand side by side. I have come to my decision regarding this divorce trial."
