121 Chapter 121

"My wife, Chloe Gray— I gave her my black card and allowed her to do anything she wishes with it. But she continues acting as if we don't have enough money, buying cheap things to fill our mansion and always nitpicking about the smallest mistake I made," Vincent said, accusing Chloe of things that never happened, then added;

"She makes me feel worthless because she always said that we don't have enough money, no matter how much I gave her. She said it's not enough. She bought many expensive things for herself, but not for our daughter or me. But when I confronted her that she shouldn't spend that much, she said that I have to give her money."

Vernon was stunned because that was exactly what he experienced now living with his sister-in-law. She always made him feel insecure by acting like she didn't have money and Vernon wasn't good enough.

He thought only he got the treatment because he wasn't as rich as his Big brother.

But this was surely a plot twist that he never expected.

Vincent continued making up lies that might not be believable at first, but when he— the heir of the Gray family was the one who said it, the words suddenly had weight in them.

People always expected him to speak the truth because there was no use in him lying since he already had everything in life. It was always like that, and Vincent knew and took full advantage of it.

"Then what did she buy? She filled your mansion with cheap furniture. She must've used the money to buy other things, right?"

"Yes, she bought a lot of designer handbags, purchased another mansion for herself, cars, and also a yacht. She will continue filling the house with cheap things to give me a sense of crisis while she wastes all the money on unnecessary things," Vincent said.

Vernon was dazed after hearing his Big brother's explanation.

If this conversation didn't involve his sister-in-law, he would've called on Vincent's bullshit because it was ridiculous.

But, there was no reason for his Big brother to lie to him because Vernon maintained his relationship with Vincent, and his Big brother seemed very fond of him.

Even if his Big brother lied, the proof was right in front of Vernon's eyes. Because Vernon experienced it first hand.

His sister-in-law constantly angered him with all of the bullshits she did.

It didn't make sense. Why would she act so poor and frugal when Vernon literally handed her his Black card? What was the use of acting in such a way?

Vincent saw the change of expression on Vernon's face, from shock to anger, to disgust.

'Just like what I want to see,' Vincent thought. 'My little brother is just like me. That's why he understands my problems.'

However, Vernon was still unsure if it was truly the root of the problem.

Because his sister-in-law might act so frugal just to humiliate him, like how she humiliated his Big brother.

But there were many instances when Chloe was meticulous and careful about her spending. She looked serious when listing everything she bought with Vernon's credit card, even the smallest thing. Vernon also often spotted her checking the furniture around the penthouse and seemed reluctant to touch it.

'if it was all just an act, then she should get an Oscar for it,' Vernon thought. 'Because she completely makes a fool of me by making me angry almost every day.'

"You should believe me, Little brother," Vincent sighed, full of woe. "I may not be a perfect husband for her, but I tried my best to give her a good life. You're also a man. You should've known that we have pride. A pride to give our woman everything she needs, right?"

"Yeah, that's right, Big brother…." Vernon agreed without giving it a second thought. To be able to give everything his woman wanted… was also a pride of a man for Vernon.

"That's why I was very mad when Chloe suddenly left while taking our daughter. I was working my bones to give them a life of luxury, but she just left because she's not satisfied with me."

…

Vernon was speechless. He came to his Big brother to pry more about the reason for their split.

But it might not be a good decision because after learning the story from his Big brother's side, he wasn't sure if he had to trust his brother's words or his instinct.

Because his instinct told him there was more than meets the eye, and there was definitely more than what his Big brother said.

He had known many women in his life since he dated or slept with a lot of them. He naturally knew many types of women.

But this was the first time a woman could act so ridiculous.

"Now you know, Vernon…." Vincent cupped his hands and stared at Vernon seriously. "If my wife came to you and asked for your help, you should refuse her. I don't want you to fall into her honey trap."

…

'I need to talk with sister-in-law later,' Vernon thought.

"I don't have anything to do with my sister-in-law, Big bro. I was just curious," Vernon said, ensuring his Big brother had no suspicion of him. "Speaking of which, have you located her whereabouts now?"

Vincent's eyes dimmed, his brows creased as if he was thinking hard about this problem;

"I already got the information that she could pay the full tuition of Mackie's school, which is impossible for her to do since she shouldn't be able to earn that much in such a short time," Vincent said. "So I guessed she must have sold her body to a rich guy somewhere in New York. I've told my secretary to start combing through the millionaires in New York and find that guy."

"I see…" Vernon's mind was flashing with ideas, trying to find a way to take advantage of his Big brother.

Then, like a light bulb that popped on his head, he told his Big brother;

"Big brother, I can help you comb through the millionaires in New York to find the man who sponsored sister-in-law."
