Chapter 645 645

Vincent watched as Vernon swaggered out of the room. He looked so arrogant as he gave Vincent a quick glance full of contempt, "You can try me if you want, Big bro. Do you want to use your influence against me? Then I will show you that I'm not a kid you can bully anymore."

SLAM!

Vincent gritted his teeth as Vernon slammed the door behind him. He tried to endure the pain since plenty of glass shards had already dug deep into his skin, so he needed proper medical care.

However, instead of calling 119 for an ambulance first, he called Secretary Maria instead.

—

"Yes, Sir?" The hoarse voice of an old woman that Vincent usually detested so much became music to his ears. Because now he knew that he needed to work with Maria if he wanted to succeed.

Secretary Maria had been telling him many times that Vernon was not as pure as he looked. He had his own agenda, and he wouldn't hesitate to push Vincent down if he had no more use for his Big bro.

Vincent didn't know to what extent his Little brother worked behind his back, but at this point, he wanted nothing less than to teach his little brother a lesson of humility.

He needed to know what his little brother was up to, so he could take a proper measure, "Maria, send me all the data that you've collected about Vernon's activity, that piece of shit dares to fight back when I was about to hit him."

Secretary Maria was excited that her boss had finally snapped out of his stupidity and planned to do something. She had been trying to convince him many times that Vernon was not an obedient little puppy.

But he kept telling her that she was wrong, and after so many attempts of convincing him, Maria simply gave up.

She didn't know what had happened with her boss and his little bastard brother. But she wouldn't miss this chance!

"Yes, Sir! I will collect as much data as possible about Vernon's activity and his growth. We can discuss this later!" The old woman said enthusiastically.

"Good, because I can't wait to beat my pup so he will listen to my orders," Vincent checked the glass shards on his palm and added, "He has grown way too big for my liking. It's time to shrink him back."

"Yes, Sir. We will beat him into submission. I've grown tired of his charade as well," Secretary Maria said. "Now, please excuse me, Sir. I'm in the middle of something."

"What are you doing right now?" Vincent asked. "Are you searching for Chloe's whereabouts?"

"Yes, but I have to start somewhere to find her. I have this feeling that Chloe is being kept by someone very powerful, someone that might be your match, because I have a hard time extracting information and finding any clue about her current whereabouts," Maria reported.

"Keep searching then. I can't wait for all of this bullshit to be over with, so everything will turn back to normal," Vincent said.

"Yes, Sir. I can't wait for things to return to normal again. I want the company to keep running forever," Maria said. "It is my life."

"Good, do your job. I'll reward you later."

"The best reward I can get is to see the Gray company flourish even more than this, Sir," Secretary Maria said. "On another note, the better reward I can get might be your daughter."

"My daughter? Mackie?"

"Yes, Mackenzie. She will be the future heir of the Gray family business. You can give her to me and I will teach her to be a good heir. I will teach her to be very professional at work."

Vincent laughed as he thought that was funny, "Well, Chloe won't be able to have time taking care of that little shit after I get her here. She'll be inside the bedroom probably for the rest of her life. So you can take my daughter and do whatever you want with her, just don't let her die, it won't be good for the press."

"Certainly, Sir. Please excuse me now."

"Yeah, I'm waiting for good news from you, Maria."

Beep.

—

Vincent finally hung up the call after he got a satisfactory answer from Maria. He stared at his bloodied palm again, somehow it wasn't as painful as before.

Maybe because he finally realized that he had to be a bloodthirsty monster to fix everything.

"I just realized that I've been so kind these days. I don't do anything against all the disrespect that I got," Vincent said. "This is all because of Chloe. She makes me weak and confused because she left me. This is just like what my father told me before, women are poison to men. You have to make sure to contain them in a small jar so their poison won't spread anywhere. Beat her into submission so she won't dare to fight back, crush her confidence so she dares not to argue with you."

Vincent clenched his fist, digging the glass shard deeper into his skin. Somehow he felt even more excited as his blood dripped to the floor.

"I will turn the tide with my power. I am Vincent Gray, and I deserve everything great in this world, including the obedience of my dog brother, and the submission of my wife."

Maria put her phone back into her pocket and continued waiting at the New York Police Department as she wanted to meet with one Officer.

After ten more minutes of waiting, a tall, robust black officer approached her, "Good evening, Ma'am. I heard from my coworker that you're searching for me. Do you need any help?

Maria turned her head towards him, and her wrinkly smile appeared, "Are you Officer Derek?"

"Yes, Ma'am. May I know why you are searching for me. I don't remember ever meeting you before," Officer Derek said. "Are you related to a case or something?"

"Oh, yes, I want to ask about a woman. But I think it's better to talk in a more private space, Officer," Maria said calmly.
