Chapter 596 596

Vincent massaged his temple as he had a headache thinking about his evasive wife whose whereabouts were difficult to trace.

She changed Mackie's school without notification, so she was likely trying to put a fake document for Mackie so she could study in another school, which wasn't all that difficult when you had money.

She also blocked his number to avoid being traced and changed her car. She basically disappeared from his radar, and he didn't like it.

He didn't like when he wasn't in control of everything. It made him feel itchy in his heart as if something was missing in his life.

"And the identity of her benefactor. I am yet to find out about his identity," Vincent clicked his tongue annoyedly. "Vernon keeps sending me names, but they are definitely not the one who hides her. They all almost pissed themselves when I accused them of hiding my wife, and they begged on the floor like rats."

"The man who dares to go so much just to hide Chloe from me must be someone with power as big as his guts," Vincent said. He had already stopped taking suggestions from his little brother.

He knew Vernon meant well. His little brother wanted to help. But Vincent already guessed that the man who hid his wife must be someone with a higher power, maybe even a politician who was well connected with the white house.

Thus, Vincent had to tread this carefully, or else things would get even messier from now on.

Vincent closed his eyes again as he tried to rest before going to his mansion. Somehow, he felt that the mansion wasn't comfortable anymore when Chloe wasn't there.

It had lost its charm, and now he preferred to rest in the office to busy himself right after waking up.

"Get off my mind, you bitch," Vincent murmured as he cursed Chloe, who kept on appearing in his mind.

Unfortunately, he didn't get his desired sleep when he heard knocks on the door.

Knock. Knock.

Vincent frowned. He opened his eyes again and turned his head towards the door. He was annoyed because someone disturbed his sleep, "Who's there?"

"It's me, Sir."

Vincent's brows creased even deeper, "Don't come in yet, Maria. Just tell me what's wrong first before I let you in."

Vincent didn't like Secretary Maria's presence these days. He felt that Maria had become the carrier of bad news. Whenever she knocked on that door, except during work hours, she would always come with bad news.

'Fuck, what's wrong this time? Is it Dorothea again? Did she do something even more fucked up? I thought I already told Nigel to freeze any command from Dorothea, so she has zero power over the Gray foundation now,' Vincent wondered.

Secretary Maria went silent for a while before replying, "This is regarding Chloe, Sir."

Vincent's eyes widened, "Come in!" He said without thinking twice.

He sat straight instantly, eager to finally get a glimpse of his wife's whereabouts, so he could regain control over that evasive bitch again after a month or so.

Secretary Maria pushed the door open. She didn't look as happy as Vincent expected.

In fact, her expression was gloomy, as if a dark cloud was hanging above her head, and Vincent knew this news wasn't a good one.

Vincent's smile dissipated slowly, and he peered at Secretary Maria, "What's wrong?"

Secretary Maria stood before her boss and said, "Sir, there is news about Chloe. But it is not a good one--no, it's actually very terrible."

Vincent frowned. He had plenty of bad assumptions in his head already. One of them was about Chloe, who got killed by her benefactor because he was bored of her.

Vincent scoffed as he entertained his own imagination.

Of course, he would be angry if he saw his wife's corpse near the trash can, where she truly belonged.

But he also found it funny if he saw Chloe getting killed by his own benefactor. That would be great karma for a cheating, ungrateful bitch like her.

"Tell me then," Vincent ordered.

Secretary Maria took out the phone from her blazer pocket and then scrolled through something before flipping the phone and showing the screen to her boss.

Vincent frowned when he saw a video that was yet to be played, but he could read the title of the video.

-

Trending: Sisters fight. Two sisters are related to Vincent Gray?!

-

"Related to me?" Vincent snatched the phone from Secretary Maria's hand and played the video.

The first thing he saw was Chelsea Davis, that ugly woman who happened to be Chloe's sister. She was very noticeable because the ear-to-ear scar on her cheek was highlighted in the video, and she glared at everyone like a mad woman.

Vincent was disgusted when he saw that creepy scar, complete with her bulging eyes as if it was about to pop out of their eye sockets. He always remembered how Chelsea tried to act cute and sweet. It made him vomit his guts out once because he was too grossed out.

He saw Chelsea pointing out at the woman in front of her and yelled, "Then you should blame this bitch! She is a two-faced bitch who sends someone to attack and carve this scar on me!"

Vincent's eyes shifted to the woman facing Chelsea in the video. He didn't even look at the woman facing the female Joker because Chelsea's creepy scar was the highlight of the video.

However, once Vincent took a good look at the woman's side profile in the video, his body stiffened instantly.

The woman had long chestnut hair, a ruddy complexion, a healthy body, sweet doe eyes, and thin lips that reminded Vincent of Chloe when they married that day.

Vincent had to admit that he was enamored by how beautiful Chloe was during their wedding, they were standing side by side that day, and he couldn't help but glance at her many times to admire the beauty from her side profile.

'And she was the most beautiful woman I've ever met in my life. She was perfect on our wedding day.'
