Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

758  Chapter 758

"Inheritance, Madam?" Nigel asked back to ensure he didn't accidentally misheard it.

"Yes, I want to do something about my inheritance," Dorothea replied. "Do you remember the contents of my inheritance?"

"Yes, Madam. After you pass away, all of the Gray family assets will be given to Vincent Gray," Nigel replied. Dorothea had no other will because she thought she only had Vincent in her life, and thus it was all fair to give him all the money he deserved.

"Well, as you can see, I am no longer the mother of Vincent Gray. I've disowned him after realizing he is just as terrible as his late father, Vaughn," Dorothea said. She had a bitter smile as she mentioned Vaughn.

She hated her husband to the bone because that bastard abused her to no end, to the point that she preferred to die.

But each time she tried to kill herself, Vaughn would save her. He'd treat her well and nicely.

But once she had recovered from her suicide attempts, he'd treat her coldly again, severely abusing her until she lost her will to live. It was a miracle that Dorothea was still alive at this point.

So when she realized that Vincent was no different than his father and how horrible he was to Chloe, she decided to disown him because there was no way she'd give billions' worth of assets to a Vaughn 2.0.

"That's why I want to rewrite my inheritance by excluding him from getting even a dime of that money," Dorothea said.

Nigel knew that things would've come to this point, and honestly, he always thought that Vincent Gray didn't deserve those assets because he was careless.

He did maintain the Gray Company, but maintaining was just the bare minimum.

Besides, his promiscuity was so well-known in the elite circle and the higher-ups that no young and dignified woman wanted to get close to him.

Nigel also got a few stories about Vaughn Gray from Dorothea and a few old workers in the Gray mansion, and they all said the same thing.

-

'Master Vaughn was a promiscuous, abusive bastard. He was a madman, but nobody dared to stand up against him because he was too powerful.'

-

"Understood, Madam. So how will you deal with your inheritance? Since you will emit Vincent Gray from it, who will be your inheritor?" Nigel asked.

He was the one who had close contact with the inheritance lawyer. Thus Dorothea always consulted him first before doing anything with her wealth.

Dorothea glanced at Vernon, and Vernon quickly noticed it. He sighed and finally put the document down, "No, I don't want to inherit any of the Gray family's money. I don't need them."

"I know, but I need someone I can trust for all those assets, and you are my only son now…"

Vernon wasn't used to how Dorothea tried to get close to him. She even dared to call him her only son!

His beloved always told him to at least give Dorothea a chance to fix all of the mistakes she made in the past, and Vernon had been trying to tolerate her.

So far, he has done a great job. At least he wasn't hostile to her anymore.

But that didn't mean they were close enough to be a mother and son. That would take a long time to do if that was possible in the first place.

"We already have an agreement about this, Dorothea," Vernon said. "You should give all of those assets to Mackie. She is your biological granddaughter from Vincent."

"I know, but she is too young. She needs someone to manage the assets before she's old enough to inherit everything. That's why I want to give it to you first," Dorothea insisted.

"No, I won't take it," Vernon kept denying because he saw that money as a form of humiliation from his late father.

Vernon wanted to show everyone that he could stand on his feet with his effort, and now that he had proven it, he didn't need all of those assets.

In fact, if possible, he'd prefer those assets from the Gray family to be burned. Mackenzie didn't need to care about those inheritances because Vernon could give her a similar amount of assets and probably even more.

"I told you before, just let Chloe become the manager until Mackie is old enough, and give Vincent 100 dollars as his share, so he won't be able to sue you—or Mackenzie for it," Vernon said.

Dorothea went silent momentarily when Nigel suddenly supported Vernon's suggestion, "Mr. Phoenix Gray is right, Madam Gray. If he refuses to take the inheritance, we can give it to Miss Mackenzie and put Mrs. Chloe Gray as the one who will manage it until she is old enough."

Dorothea was saddened knowing Vernon didn't want to take even a small percentage of those assets.

Actually, she was thinking that she might be able to get forgiveness from Vernon by giving him a lot of money.

'Ah, I should've known better. He isn't lacking in money. He is so rich right now. He doesn't need some inheritance from a man he hates the most,' Dorothea lamented for a few minutes.

She took a deep breath and nodded, "Alright, please put that in my will, Nigel. Here's my phone number. You should call me once I have to sign the inheritance again."

Nigel picked up the card with a phone number from Dorothea's hand and pocketed it, "I will set the plan in motion immediately, Madam. I will call you soon."

"How about the Clover Foundation, Madam? When will we start?" Nigel asked. He was eager to work for charity again since it was his true calling.

"In six months," Vernon replied. "I still have a lot of things to do. So I need six months for that."

"Understood, Sir," Nigel said.

"Hm, you may leave now, Nigel. Go handle whatever Dorothea wants you to do, that's your job now."

"Yes, Sir, with pleasure."
