286 Chapter 286

"Mr. Gray, what would you do to the culprit behind all this once you find him?" Mr Maxwell asked.

"Hmm..." Vincent seemed to be thinking for a few seconds. "Death is too kind, that one is for sure."

"I will not kill him, but I will make sure he wishes to die instead," Vincent replied calmly. "I will ruin his life, making sure he cannot financially recover. I will destroy all of his properties, and I will burn his family if I have to, leaving him a broken man without any family by his side."

"Then, I shall make him die of overdose by supplying him with a lot of drugs while he is in his lowest state. He will die a pathetic man, and that should put a smile on me," Vincent started with a meaningful smile.

'I shouldn't have asked....' Gregory Maxwell thought. Because that plan was so crazy and cruel, I thought it was befitting coming from Vincent Gray.

"So, you should know the punishment that you'll get, in case it is proven that you're the one who hid my wife and daughter, right, Mr. Maxwell?"

Gregory Maxwell shuddered in fear. Even though it wasn't him who hid Chloe and Mackenzie, just imagining the fate of that poor man already scared Mr Maxwell enough.

He nodded quickly and got up from the chair, "Mr. Gray, if there is nothing I can do, may I excuse myself to leave?"

'',

"So quick? I was about to invite you to an evening snack," Vincent said. He smiled, but the smile was deep and malicious, forcing Gregory Maxwell to shake his head hard.

"I--I dare not, Mr. Gray. I also have to meet my wife, she has been waiting for me," Mr Maxwell said, hoping it would be a good enough reason for Vincent to release him.

Vincent chuckled and waved his hand, "You can leave now. Don't forget to work hard if you don't want your company to be ruined."

"Y--Yes, Sir!"

Gregory Maxwell sought out as he wanted to escape Vincent's viper eyes as soon as possible. Just staying in the same room with Vincent made the old Gregory almost piss himself out of fear.

'I know he is crazy, just like his late dad. But I didn't know that he can be a lot crazier when it's about his wife and daughter,' Gregory Maxwell thought.

'Now I understand why she ran away. If you have to live with a man like Vincent, you'd probably want to escape every single day.'

Vincent watched the old man finally leave his office. He sighed and quietly picked up the framed picture of Chloe and Mackie on the desk.

He smiled at the little girl in the picture, "Mackie, my princess, you should bear for a little longer, okay? Daddy is trying to punish your Mommy for being an ungrateful whore. You'll understand Daddy someday."

He then shifted his eyes towards Chloe, and the gentleness he showed to his daughter disappeared instantly.

'',

"And you, fat bitch. Look what you made me do. I have to go on my way to create this kind of elaborate plan just to destroy the man who hid you," Vincent's glare became even more apparent the more he stared. As if he wanted to tear Chloe in half.

"I will turn you into a pig once more, then you will never be able to escape. Know your place, you're my woman, you're supposed to be beneath me."

Vernon arrived in his office around nine in the morning. Diamond was already sitting on her secretary's desk, but Chloe was nowhere to be found.

'',

"Where is she?" Vernon asked before he entered his CEO's office.

"Mrs. Gray texted me, saying that she will be late because she still has to cook lunch for Mackie and you."

"I see..." Vernon nodded. He walked to the CEO's office door, but Diamond stopped him on his track.

"Sir."

Vernon halted his step, "What?"

"I've received a little information about the attacker. Though I'm not sure if this would be enough since we've only investigated in less than a day."

"Tell me now," Vernon said.

Usually, he'd tell Diamond to go to his office for this kind of talk, but since there was no Chloe around, they could talk freely about this.

Diamond took a deep breath. She knew that her homegirl might disapprove of this, and Chloe would probably hate her for snitching.

But she was not a kind-hearted woman like Chloe. Once anyone dared to hurt her, Diamond would go on her way to hurt that person back as revenge.

'Gurl, I'm sorry about this. But you will never find justice if you don't do anything. I know this will ruin your sister, but she got what she deserves,' Diamond thought, hoping Chloe would forgive her if she got discovered later.

"Sir, the attacker's name is Chelsea Davis, 36 years old. Her maiden name is Chelsea Carlson. She is the first daughter of Judith Carlson. She is also Chloe's older sister."

"She is working as a teacher in a public elementary school with a small wage. She has four sons, and they are all six years and younger. She doesn't seem to be living happily because of all the mundane, yet troublesome things happening in her life."

"I see..." Vernon wasn't all that surprised by this. He knew that Chloe's side of the family was struggling financially. Which was unusual.

Usually, when someone marries the Gray family, that person and his entire side of the family get enough money to support a comfortable life.

But it didn't seem to be the case with Chloe's family.

However, he knew he still hadn't gotten his full report and asked;

'',

"How about her husband?"

"Ah, that is...." Diamond hesitated. Because she knew when she told her boss about Chelsea's husband, Vernon would start thinking of a new idea to ruin Chelsea's family.

"Come on, Diamond. What are you hesitating about? I just need the full story before making a... fair judgment."
