The possibility of Chloe discovering the truth scared Diamond more than anything else. She was a woman who seldom had fear of anything.

But the idea that her best friend would despise her terrified her more than anything.

'I've never felt this attached to someone in my life. I'm scared that Chloe would find out about all of this. But at the same time, I have the same idea as Mr. Phoenix Gray,' Diamond thought. 'I want to absolutely crush all the people who hurt Chloe. I don't even feel pity at them, seeing how much Chloe suffered in her life.'

Thus, Diamond took another deep breath. She had to be ready because this was the path she chose to protect her homegirl.

"Then, what kind of execution do you want, Sir? Please specify so I can inform our agent," Diamond said, mentioning the man who worked secretly with her boss to do the dirty deed on a few occasions.

Vernon smirked maliciously, "Come closer, let me whisper it to you."

Diamond followed his instruction, and Vernon whispered the plan he had in mind.

Diamond's eyes widened for a second before she nodded, full of assurance, "I see that you prefer not to use brute force, Sir," she commented.

"I don't need to do brute force. They are all shitty people, I will let them destroy themselves from the inside."

Chelsea checked her watch as she put all her stuff into her bag. It was almost midnight, and  she had just finished tutoring another student.

She became a private tutor as a side job to make ends meet because there was no way she could provide a decent living for four children, a deadbeat husband, and an old mother solely with her salary as an elementary school teacher.

This was the first time she had to do a side job to make ends meet. Things went awry after that stupid bitch Chloe left Vincent.

Now Vincent was reluctant to send more money to her family because Chloe wasn't by his side.

He was overcome by grief, and he never visited her house anymore because he said there was too much memory of him with Chloe, which would only sadden him even more.

"Ugh, that bitch has no pity," Chelsea cursed at her little sister again. It had become her habit to throw all the blame on Chloe. "That ungrateful woman ruins everyone's life. Does she not have an ounce of pity for her own family? Why did she run away anyway? Because Vincent was too busy with work?"

Chelsea rolled her eyes annoyedly as she walked to the parking lot, "Oh come on. She's so ungrateful. Of course Vincent is busy, he is a fucking billionaire. He needs to run his billion dollar business! Now, all she did was just ruining everyone's life except herself!"

Actually, Chelsea tried to reach out to Chloe a few times. She wanted to sweet talk Chloe into visiting the house, and then she could lock her into a room.

Then she would call Vincent to the house, so that bitch would have nowhere to go.

Too bad Chloe refused to answer all of her calls or reply to her texts. She even refused to answer Judith-- their old mother's call.

So she was unable to trap that bitch and return things to normal.

'Well, I wish Vincent would move on... I don't understand what he saw in her...' Chelsea sighed, full of pity. She wanted things to return to normal, so she wouldn't need to do a shitty side job just to make ends meet.

But she couldn't help but wish.

She wished Vincent would move on from Chloe and find another woman... such as her.

Chelsea felt hotter all around her body when she imagined a handsome, ultra-rich, loyal, and overall perfect man like Vincent fell in love with her.

'He will definitely shower me with love and money. I don't understand why he doesn't choose me? What am I lacking compared to Chloe? I'm much more beautiful, and definitely much more capable than that ungrateful whore.'

'I would be the happiest woman on earth if I married Vincent,' Chelsea started smiling stupidly as she continued to imagine her wedding with Vincent. 'Would he buy me a yacht? Or maybe a private jet? He is so kind, he must've showered me with a lot of gifts too....'

Chelsea was enjoying the dream she had... until the face of her stupid husband suddenly popped up in her head.

Chelsea's mood reached an all-time low when she remembered how her husband kept asking for money because he couldn't land a single job!

"I'm so fucking close to divorce that good-for-nothing man, seriously!" Chelsea stomped her heels as she walked to her car.

All her loud complaints and stomps were echoing in this dim basement parking lot. She happened to be the only one inside the parking lot, so it made her somewhat creeped out.

Maybe it was her fear, but she felt someone was watching her from afar...

She stopped for a second and then looked over her shoulder. She wanted to check if she was being followed.

But there was no one...

Unfortunately, the dim lighting in this parking lot obstructed her eyesight. Even with her glasses, she still couldn't see anyone around.

She gulped nervously and decided to run to her car.

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!

The sound of her heels echoed around the parking lot louder than before. Her breath started to get heavier as she used all her strength to reach her car.

Luckily, her car was parked under a dim lamp, so it wasn't difficult to find.

She fished the car key out of her bag in a hurry and accidentally dropped it right under her car.

"Damn it!"

Chelsea crouched and tried to reach for the car key.

"Come on..."

It took her a while to finally grab her car key. The moment she raised her head, she saw a shadow of a figure standing right behind her.
