Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Chapter 761

Vincent snatched the document from the head maid's hand and quickly opened the seal.

He thought that he had misheard the head maid, or maybe his head was fucking up with him again. It often happened whenever he had nightmares about Chloe, who left him.

Unfortunately, when Vincent pulled all the stacks of paper inside the document, his biggest nightmare finally came true.

It was a summon from the court because Chloe had filed a divorce against him, and he only had a week to respond.

Vincent couldn't read further because his hand started trembling, followed by his eyes getting blurry because tears began to pool in his eyes.

He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

He turned around and said, "Get out."

The head maid was silent momentarily and reminded, "Don't forget to respond to the divorce court's summon, Master."

"GET OUT!!!" Vincent's voice echoed through the corridor, shocking every maid who was busy doing their activities.

But the head maid was used to Master Gray's outburst. She just flinched a bit and bowed respectfully, "Take your time, Master."

The head maid took a few steps back and closed the door, leaving Vincent alone in the dusty dressing room.

Vincent tried to hold back his tears, but it was like a damn that burst after a while. He began to cry silently. He didn't want to look pathetic because he knew those maids outside would hear him.

But this was a huge blow for him. He always thought that his marriage with Chloe would always stay safe.

She might run away and cheat on him, but no man would ever want to marry her.

And thus, Chloe would be stuck to be his official wife for the rest of her life.

So this divorce paper was a huge blow to him because he never expected the day Chloe would file a divorce to the court would finally happen.

He always thought this was just something that came out of his nightmare.

"This can't be. How could you be this cruel to me, Chloe?" Vincent murmured. "Never once have I ever considered divorcing you, not even when you're ugly, fat, and disgusting. But now, you left me for another man just because I am not in my prime anymore? What a heartless woman you are!"

Vincent scoffed, mocking Chloe in his mind because he now felt their sacred marriage vow was a joke, and Chloe never meant all of her vows.

But for Vincent, he meant it when he said, 'until death do us part.'

Because he would never divorce her no matter what, even if the situation between them was not ideal.

"So fucking cruel. How could you hurt me like this…" Vincent said before the tears began to drop and wet his hand. "I've lost my wife…"

Vincent wanted to scream like a madman right now, but he had done it so much in the past that he had grown weary.

So, he slumped to the floor, buried his face in his thighs, and began sobbing like a little boy who had lost his precious toy.

It took almost six hours for Vincent to cry and fall asleep. Again, he was caught in a nightmare that was extremely painful for him.

He saw that Chloe was being hugged by none other than Vernon, and they looked so compatible together as if they were meant to be.

They stared at him with mocking smiles, and said;

-

'You're all alone now, Vincent Gray. Nobody wants you anymore, not even your wife.'

-

Vincent gasped when he woke up from that short nightmare.

He looked around as he was disoriented and realized he was still in the dressing room. He had been sleeping after sobbing for too long, which was pathetic, knowing that he used to beat Chloe in this same dressing room whenever he felt like it.

He beat her because he thought she showed interest in the finer things in life.

She would marvel at many of his expensive suits and praise the gems he used to adorn his cufflink and many more.

Vernon disliked it because his wife might get greedy and began to adorn herself with jewelry.

That's why he always beat her whenever she wore a simple necklace or earrings. She had to look bad constantly, so she would never attract other men or cheat on him!

He had good intentions all this time. He wanted to protect their marriage.

"I don't get it," Vincent murmured. "I don't get it at all, Chloe. Why are you hurting me like this when all I'm trying to do is to persevere in our marriage? Is this your way to thank me after all of my efforts?"

Vincent still didn't understand what he did wrong. All he did was try to protect his beloved woman, even if his method was extreme, but Chloe turned out to be an obedient and submissive woman who wouldn't cheat on him for ten years straight.

That was good, right?

He did a good job.

But that good job was unappreciated.

Vincent bit his lower lip until it bled. He tried to get up from the floor by grabbing a desk and propping himself up.

He felt so weak, and it took him a while to recover.

By the time he could stand on his feet, he saw the divorce document still on the table. He didn't dare to read the divorce paper before. He was still in such a mental shock.

But now.

He had to face the reality that Chloe was divorcing him, and he had no more power to do a wide-scale manhunt like before.

"But that doesn't mean I can't find a way to stop the divorce," Vincent muttered. "There must be something. Maybe she demands half of my wealth or wants me to pay ridiculous amounts of child support. I can use those as a ground for marriage counseling, and thus we will never be separated."

"I will not allow you to leave me, Chloe."
