Chapter 552 552

Vernon darted his eyes towards the old Principal, who hunched her shoulder cowardly. Again, he couldn't believe what he had just heard and how Chloe had never told him about the whole thing. Had he known that Mackie had been bullied for eight months straight, he would move her out of that school much sooner.

Vincent nodded in approval, "Yep, that's right," then he glanced at his Little brother. "Don't you see, Vernon? I've been using my daughter as a way for me to keep Chloe around. I know that Chloe would always be under my control as long as I have control over Mackie."

"You can even ask her what kind of bullying I did," Vincent's eyes returned to the old Principal, and he continued his showboating. "Go on, I want him to know everything."

Mrs. Andrew glanced at Vernon before lowering her head quickly. She didn't dare to look longer because Vernon was glaring at her back, which terrified her.

"Uh… Uh…."

"Speak," Vernon commanded. "I can't wait to know what my Big Brother did to Mackenzie."

Knowing there was no way out under the pressure of two powerful men, the old Principal finally confessed for the second time, "Mr. Vincent Gray told some of the children's parents to work with him to bully Mackenzie. There are in total six kids who were bullying Mackenzie."

"So, Mackie has been bullied by six different kids without any intervention from the school for the past eight months?" Vernon asked to clarify, and the old Principal nodded slowly.

"Very good," Vernon scoffed sarcastically. "I never knew that you have a hobby of hurting your own daughter, Big bro. This is a new discovery for me."

"Really? Well, I don't really like hurting my daughter. But I have to, so Chloe will realize that she is under my control," Vincent explained lightly. "Just like what I said before. Mackenzie is just a baby coming out of Chloe's womb. Nothing more, nothing less."

Vincent was clear and concise with his words, giving no space for Vernon to have any goodwill against his Big bro.

'I can't imagine that Chloe has to stay with a monster like you for so long,' Vernon thought. 'What a bastard. No, even a bastard is too good of a curse for you. Vincent Gray.'

Vincent was in a better mood after he flaunted what he did to Vernon. He wanted Vernon to know the way of the Gray family.

There was a reason why their Late father, Vaughn Gray, treasured Vincent much more than Vernon.

It was because Vincent had so much value compared to his Little brother. He was smarter, more emotionally stable, and had the right as the Gray family's next master. So it was natural for Vincent to be favored.

Now, he should've done the same by favoring Mackenzie, his only child.

But he still felt that a girl didn't have that much worth compared to a boy. So he didn't care if Mackie disappeared. He could always make another one with Chloe, and hopefully, it would be a boy this time.

Mrs. Andrew couldn't wait to leave this room. The tension between the two brothers was terrifying, and he didn't want to get caught in their fight.

Vernon couldn't wait to kill his Big brother, while Vincent flaunted his degenerate deeds because he thought it was the right thing.

"S—Sir, I've reported Mackenzie's disappearance and I have no more to report. May I leave now?" Mrs. Andrew asked.

"Huh— oh yeah, you can leave now," Vincent said lightly.

"T—Thank you, Sir. Please excuse me."

The old Principal grabbed her bag and got up. She walked towards the door, but before she opened it, Vincent suddenly added, "Oh, you're fired, by the way."

Mrs. Andrew's body stiffened instantly. She couldn't believe what she had heard just now.

She turned around and faced Vincent Gray, leaning leisurely on the sofa, "E—Excuse me, Sir. I—I don't know why I got fired…."

"You don't know? Do you have dementia, so you can't remember?" Vincent's smile faltered as his mood dwindled. "You failed to keep my daughter under your clutch. The only reason why I keep you around is to make sure that Mackenzie will still stay in that school and I can monitor my daughter and wife."

"Now that they're gone, I don't see any use of you anymore. Leave," Vincent said coldly.

Mrs. Andrew felt that her whole world was crumbling right now. She worked so hard for the past few decades until she could get promoted and become a Principal. She had dedicated her life to that school and planned to continue until her death.

She even went as far as hurting a little girl just so she could keep her job.

But how could— how could this man crush her life so easily?!

"S—Sir, p—please give me one more chance. I—I really don't expect Chloe to move Mackenzie away from the school. Maybe we… we can create an announcement about the disappearance of your daughter?" Mrs. Andrew tried her best to satisfy Vincent, hoping that Vincent would be in a good mood and take back his words just now.

"Why? So everybody in this world will know my daughter's face?" Vincent scoffed. "You know that I keep them hidden because I don't want them to be well-known, and people might start targeting Chloe," Vincent said, and he glanced at Vernon, asking for an agreement, "Don't you think so, brother?"

Vernon tried to repress his rage as much as possible. He couldn't smile right now but could at least act normal.

After all, what his Big bro said was very beneficial for Vernon.

As long as the public didn't know Chloe and Mackie's faces, Vernon could continue his work to take down his Big brother and the Gray family without locking Chloe and Mackie up inside the apartment for months— or maybe years for their safety.

"Yes, Big bro. You shouldn't show my sister-in-law's and my niece's face to the public. It's too dangerous for them," Vernon agreed. "You don't want them to get kidnapped by someone else, right?"
