Chapter 782 Chapter 782
"I'm here to inform you about something, Vincent," Dorothea decided to go straight to the point.
"Oh? And what is it? That you shoved heroin into those children's mouths?"
"No, but I wish I could shove it in your ass right now," Dorothea snapped back. But she quickly cleared her throat to calm herself down.
"It's about the Gray family inheritance."
Vincent's smirk disappeared instantly the moment Dorothea mentioned inheritance.
He didn't exactly need the inheritance because he was already filthy rich with the acquisition of the Gray company. But that inheritance was his birthright, and he had to kick Vernon out to ensure he got everything.
And now, he sensed that Dorothea was about to strip it down.
"And what do you want to do about it?" Vincent asked. "You know that I am your only heir, right?"
"Naturally, you are the one dictated by Vaughn as the heir of the Gray family. But I still hold and maintain all the inheritance until I pass away," Dorothea said. "And before I die, I want to make sure that the family inheritance will fall under the hands of the correct person."
"You're a fucking idiot if you think Vernon is the right person! That boy hates you, Dorothea!" Vincent snapped. "He will destroy all Gray family assets out of spite!"
"Calm down, will you? I won't give it to him. I tried to, but he doesn't want it, saying that he is already a billionaire without even that inheritance," Dorothea said. "He also told me that I should've just given it to your daughter, Mackenzie, because the inheritance was intended to be yours in the first place."
"But since you are a crazy man just like your father, I think it's better to give everything to Mackie," Dorothea glanced at Nigel, and the latter quickly put a paper in front of Vincent. "Here is my will, and it is said that Mackenzie Rose Gray will inherit everything. Including the Gray mansion and all of our family's lands."
Vincent snatched the paper and ripped it in half right in front of Dorothea's eyes, "And now it's gone. I am still going to be the one who inherits everything!"
Dorothea's eyes grew colder, "Don't be childish, Vincent. You know it's just a copy. Besides, even if you rip the real one, I can always make it again."
"But you need my agreement to do it!"
"No, I don't," Dorothea sighed. "Anyway, I don't need your signature or even an unwritten agreement. All I want to do is to inform you that you are no longer the heir of the Gray family. Mackenzie is. Chloe and Vernon will handle her inheritance in case I die before Mackie reaches the age of twenty-one."
Vincent gritted his teeth, "You can't do this to me, Dorothea. I've worked hard to get that inheritance, and I will not let anyone take it from me!"
"What kind of work did you do anyway?" Dorothea mocked. "Is kicking your brother out part of that hard work? Oh, Vincent, we are despicable people. We both know you're not the one who'd do hard work."
"Besides, why do you need the inheritance anyway? You got extremely rich after Vernon acquired the Gray company, right?"
"It's not about the money. It's about my pride! I am the heir of the Gray family! I will not give it to anyone, not even my daughter. I will keep it until my death!"
"Well, you better kill yourself as soon as possible because Mackenzie is the new heir now," Dorothea said coldly. She finally got up from the chair and stared down at her son. "You should know that I have no intention to inflict any more pain on you. You are still my son by blood, after all."
"But I also want nothing to do with you. I am done with our awful life in the Gray family," Dorothea recalled the life in the Gray mansion. "I hate your father so much that I wish he'd die, so I can get my happiness. But even after he died, I still can't feel happy."
"I thought I could forget those things as long as I kept up with my lifestyle. I managed the Gray family's money and influence, but it was tiring. I am tired, even now," Dorothea said. "I thought I just need to push forward for a few more years until you're ready to handle everything, but when you showed me the video of you beating Chloe in the Principal's office, I realized that you are just like your father."
Dorothea's lips thinned, her body trembling as she was reminded of the monster she married back then.
If only she could turn back time, she would never marry the devil and let this devil spawn to live in this world.
"I thought Chloe was ungrateful to you because she complains a lot about you. It turns out you are the true monster. You are like your father, a devil that shouldn't exist in this world."
"This is the last time we will ever see each other again, Vincent. You are no longer my son, and I am no longer your mother. Goodbye."
Dorothea turned around and left the mansion, followed by Meyer and Nigel.
Vincent sat silently, staring at his mother's back for the last time.
"Well then, so be it! I don't give a damn about you as well, you fucking hag! I hope you die and rot in hell with Dad!" Vincent yelled at Dorothea, but the old lady didn't even respond.
She left him alone, stranded in this expensive mansion that he owned.
...
"Who needs her anyway? She's just an old lady who'll die in a few years."
He never liked his mother.
He always thought that his mother was useless and not as great as his father. So he couldn't wait to let her die so he'd get full ownership of everything in the Gray family.
"I should be happy that she finally left me alone, right?" Vincent asked himself. "Then why do I feel sad?"
