Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Chapter 779 Chapter 779

Vernon was about to answer, but Chloe interrupted, "It's not an affair."

The reporter's attention shifted toward the lady lying in Mr. Phoenix Gray's arms. Chloe silently clenched Vernon's suit as she was scared of facing these hyenas.

But she realized nobody but herself could answer this.

She was the woman entangled by these brothers, so she had to clarify before the misunderstanding became too much and might also affect Vernon's job.

She stared at Vernon, silently urging him to put her down.

Vernon gave her a soft smile and asked, "Just talk. I will carry you until we go home. You've suffered too much today."

Chloe was embarrassed, but Vernon was right.

She was so shocked to get attacked by Vincent that her knees became weak.

Thus, she braced herself and looked at the reporters who had shoved their mic to her face.

"Mrs. Chloe Gray, did you have an affair with Mr. Phoenix Gray before you got a divorce?" One reporter asked.

"Just like what I said before, it's not an affair," Chloe clarified. "I ran away from my ex-husband after I found out that he was sleeping with another woman during our daughter's birthday. I can tolerate him betraying me, but I will never tolerate him betraying our daughter."

"He refused to sign the divorce paper, but I want to run away from him with my daughter because he has been increasingly abusive towards me. I'm afraid he'd do the same to my daughter if we stay."

"He refused to give us any money after I left and started terrorizing me so I'd give up on the divorce. I struggled to find a job until Vernon gave me one," Chloe said truthfully. She stared at Vernon, wanting his agreement to share it, and he nodded. "He is the most amazing man I've ever seen in my life. He is responsible and also loving. We had a rocky start due to some misunderstanding, but we are together now after we understood each other."

"So if you ask me if we had an affair, my answer is no. Simply because the moment I walked away from Vincent, I realized that I have to be free from his shadow, and I found my light in him."

The reporters were a bit confused about how they should tackle this problem.

They couldn't simply say that Chloe and Vernon had an affair because Chloe said she had already left Vincent before she started a relationship with Vernon, it was her ex-husband who terrorized her and refused to sign the divorce paper, and knowing what kind of power Vincent held before, it was quite understandable that Vincent would do everything to stop the divorce process.

The reporters were left speechless, and Vernon took this opportunity to leave, "Please excuse us. We have to go now. My soon-to-be wife is still very shocked because her ex-husband almost assaulted her in the courtroom just now."

The reporters were shocked when Mr. Phoenix Gray claimed Chloe as his 'soon-to-be wife'; it was a direct claim that they were about to get married soon.

They wanted to interview them more, but Vernon pushed himself out of the crowd by carrying Chloe and left the court building.

"You did well," Vernon praised while he walked to their car. "I was about to say whether it's an affair or not. It doesn't matter because I will love you for the rest of my life as your husband and father of our children. But you really know how to stir those reporters."

"I'm not trying to stir them. I'm just speaking the truth," Chloe said. "The moment I served him the divorce paper, I steeled my will to divorce him. I want nothing but to leave, but we both know how powerful Vincent was. It took us a lot of pain to finally get the divorce."

"And you finally got yours," Vernon said. "You are free, my love."

"We. We are free," Chloe corrected.

Vernon smiled and kissed her forehead before carefully putting her into the passenger seat. He walked around the car to the driver's seat and said, "Yes, we are free, and you should expect a proposal soon."

Chloe's cheeks warmed up. She felt shy whenever Vernon brought up the proposal because she felt their wedding was so close yet far away.

She didn't want to wish or ponder about it because it would only make her anxious. She just wished Vernon would propose to her soon because the baby in her belly kept growing, and she couldn't hide her baby bump anymore.

Though, she planned not to hide it anyway.

She wanted her guests to know she was pregnant with Vernon's child during the wedding. It felt right for her. It was like an announcement to the whole world that she finally had a family that truly treasured her.

"Well then, Diamond, Meyer, and my lawyer will handle the divorce administration. But worry not. It has been settled. Mackie doesn't need to see Vincent until she is eighteen, and by that time, it's up to her if she wants to see him or not," Vernon said.

He checked his watch and said, "Why don't we have lunch before picking up Mackie from her school? Then I can book the theater we used to watch her stage play together. I'm sure Mackie wants to watch a movie, right? She told me a few days ago that she wants to watch Moana."

"She does. I actually planned to watch it with her once you got your break," Chloe said. "But it's an old movie. Let's just watch it in our house."

"I can always tell the theater owner to play it for us. Come on, Love, let her enjoy her Moana in the cinema. I'm sure she'd like it," Vernon said, and Chloe couldn't help to sigh. She honestly admired Vernon and how attentive he was.

He remembered many small things about his family despite his busy work.

"Alright, but don't give her too much soda."

"Hehe, I won't. You know Mackie and I are bad with soda."
