Chapter 773

[Song Recommendation: Michael Kiwanuka - Love & Hate.]

[This is the final song of this novel.]

Chloe stared at her lover, who swiftly disarmed Vincent before he could do anything to hurt her.

She then looked down to see Vincent growling like a madman, trying to break free from Vernon's bear-strength restraint. He glared at Chloe as if she were the most wretched thing he couldn't wait to kill.

That stare was quite familiar to Chloe.

Sometimes when Vincent was so angry, whenever she tried to fight back, he would give her that deathly stare until she was scared out of her wits and beat her up mercilessly.

Now this was the Vincent Gray that Chloe knew. This was the monster who filled her nightmare and the monster she had always wanted to escape from.

It was crazy how Vincent could switch up so fast.

A few moments ago, he was begging Chloe to accept him back. He even cried to make himself more convincing. But once he was faced with rejection, he suddenly turned violent.

"YOU BITCH! I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU FOR REBELLING AGAINST ME!" Vincent yelled like a wild dog. "I WILL SMASH YOUR HEAD UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND YOU'RE NOTHING WITHOUT ME!"

Chloe's body shook greatly.

Her mind flashed with the awful memories of when she lived with Vincent.

Those words were like a bunch of trigger words that made her body shut down instantly.

"Damn it, MEYER! PROTECT MY WIFE!" Vernon yelled, and Meyer dashed into the room and stood in front of Chloe.

"You need to leave first, Mrs. Gray. This place is not safe," Meyer said coldly while being a barrier between Chloe and Vincent.

Chloe snapped out of her fear when she realized that Meyer and Vernon were actively trying to protect her.

She knew she wasn't a powerful lady who could punch Vincent until he died.

But was not the same Chloe from a year ago.

She had broken free from Vincent's chain, and thus, she should not fear him when he tried to scare her.

Thus, Chloe took a deep breath and said, "Step aside, Meyer. I want to see my ex-husband's face."

"What in the—leave now, honey! Don't let him scare you!" Vernon yelled, trying to tell Chloe to leave before she got a panic attack.

"Don't worry, I am not the same woman from a year ago," Chloe said. "I will face him."

Meyer was initially worried, but when he turned around and saw the determination in Mrs. Phoenix Gray's face, he was assured.

He stepped to the side, allowing Chloe to face Vincent again.

Vincent was still trying to break free. His face was so red, like a demon, and he gritted his teeth to the point that saliva dropped from the corner of his mouth.

"Vincent Gray, you can't touch me anymore now," Chloe said coldly. "I am not alone. I have my soon-to-be husband and friends who will help me. You locked me in your mansion and isolated me until I had nobody by my side. But you forget one thing."

Chloe took another deep breath and stated, "You can't cage a canary and expect her not to sing once she breaks free. I fear you no more, and I will tell the whole world about everything you did to me, starting from the judge for our divorce trial."

"This is the end, Vincent Gray."

Chloe turned around and left Vincent in shock as Chloe had just sealed his fate with her words.

She would tell everyone about what he did to her.

And he knew that the public wouldn't take it nicely. Only his family would accept Vincent's kind of discipline for his wife. The public would call him an abuser and a monster.

"No! No!" Vincent tried to break free even harder. He wanted to reach Chloe, who finally walked away from the room. "Chloe! Don't leave! Don't tell anyone about us! I don't want everyone to hate me!"

Unfortunately, no matter how loud he tried to call Chloe, his soon-to-be ex-wife didn't budge. Chloe simply left her and proceeded to wait for the trial somewhere else.

"You should stop struggling, Vincent. It's getting tiring," Vernon complained as he tried to keep Vincent in place.

Vincent was dazed as he was in shock, but the rage in his heart hadn't been appeased. Since he couldn't do anything to Chloe right now, then the other choice was to scream and curse at his little brother.

"YOU BASTARD! YOU STOLE MY WIFE FROM ME! I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU, VERNON!" Vincent yelled.

Vernon rolled his eyes, "You know there is CCTV in this room, right? I will recover it immediately and put it as proof of your attempt at assault. You're seriously not making this any better for yourself, but that's good. Because that would be Chloe's bullet for the upcoming trial."

Vernon darted his eyes at Meyer and ordered, "Hold this guy in place. I'm going to call the security. We have hard proof of his attempted assault in the CCTV."

"Yes, Sir."

Meyer switched with his boss, and it was even easier for Meyer to reprimand Vincent because he was trained to do so.

Vernon stared at his Big brother, who was in such a sorry state, and said, "See you in court, big bro. I will make sure you have no right to visit Mackie anymore. She is my daughter and doesn't need a second father."

Vincent knew that Mackie was his only chance to get Chloe back. So he yelled in his last attempt to save his marriage, "SHE IS MY DAUGHTER! SHE WILL ALWAYS BE MY DAUGHTER! DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE STEAL HER AWAY FROM ME!"

"Your daughter? You're not even trying to take care of her when they are still living with you," Vernon sneered. "Just admit it, big bro. You just want to use Mackie as your ticket to get Chloe's sympathy again."

"Unlike you, I truly love Mackie as my daughter. I see myself in her and will do everything to protect her from a monster like you."
