Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother - Chapter 626
“I will make sure to be careful, Ma’am. We’re treading on a dangerous case right now,” Officer Derek said. “I don’t want to make a mistake that might cost my job… or my life.”
Chloe nodded, “I will leave now. Goodbye, Officer.”
Chloe left with the boys tailing behind her.
Officer Derek let out a relieved sigh after she left. He grabbed his water bottle and drank the whole thing to quench his thirst. He was nervous when he thought about Vincent Gray.
Honestly, he still couldn’t believe that Vincent Gray could be that dangerous. He just didn’t seem to be the one who’d do such heinous things as manipulating a delusional, lovestruck woman to kill her entire family just because she accidentally embarrassed him online.
He knew that public image was important for any public figure, but would you actually kill because of that?

“If what she said is true, that means I have to be careful with Vincent Gray. With that level of crazy and narcissism, he will definitely do something to save his public image,” Officer Derek said. “Only time will tell. Let’s see which one I can believe in, the rich and generous man who has been idolized by so many people for over a decade, or his wife instead.”
In the meantime, Officer Derek finally opened his phone again and checked Twitter to see the trending video Mrs. Gray mentioned.

Vernon tapped his feet impatiently as he waited inside the car.
He kept checking his phone to see if there was a call or a text from Chloe again, then looked straight at the building to check if Chloe finally came out.
He kept opening and closing the door because he was fighting the urge not to rush in and check on his beloved woman, ensuring she was safe inside the police department.
“Fuck, I can’t wait any longer. One more minute and I’ll fucking raid that place!” Vernon said. He finally opened the door and came out of the car. He was about to rush inside when he finally saw Chloe walking out of the building in one piece. She didn’t seem hurt in any way, which was a relief for Vernon.
He made a few quick steps toward Chloe with a smile on his face.
But that smile quickly faltered when he noticed four little boys tailing her from behind.
Chloe’s heartbeat skipped when she saw Vernon’s eyes visibly darken, and his smile instantly disappeared when he saw the boys. It was obvious that he didn’t like their presence.
Meanwhile, the boys also halted on their steps when they were faced with a scary man that glared at them and also at Aunt Chloe.
They quickly hid behind Chloe’s body, though Aaron bravely walked to the front and stood beside his Aunt.
Vernon gave a quick glance—or glare—at the boy standing next to Chloe before returning his gaze to her.
“What is this?” Vernon asked.
“V—Vernon, we can talk about this later. Let’s just go inside the car and let the boys sit at the back, right?” Chloe tried to persuade her lover. She circled her hand around Vernon’s arm and tried to pull him to the car.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom
But Vernon stood still while glaring at the boys who huddled together in fear. Since Aunt Chloe was on that scary man’s side now, they hid behind their oldest brother instead.
“We’re not going anywhere until you explain this to me about… these,” Vernon said while glaring at the boys.
Chloe knew that Vernon wouldn’t accept the boys easily, which would only bring him more trouble later on.
But this wasn’t the place to talk, and definitely not in front of the boys because it’d only hurt their hearts.
Thus, Chloe lowered her voice and said, “Vernon, I can explain after we’re at home. Please, for the love of god, please let’s just let them in and we can return home. I will tell you everything in our home, okay?”
Vernon’s eyes peered suspiciously at Chloe. He had a lot of questions in his mind right now. Naturally, the first action he’d take was to throw Chloe inside his car and drive away, leaving these boys in here because he knew the boys would only become trouble for him.
“I’m not leaving before you tell me what happened, Chloe,” Vernon said firmly, standing on his ground.
Chloe started getting anxious. She glanced at the boys and at Vernon. He really didn’t try to hide his hostility at all. It was already a miracle that the boys didn’t cry in front of him.
But before Chloe could say a thing, Aaron suddenly interrupted.
“Excuse me, Uncle. Aunt Chloe said that we can follow her home,” Aaron said with no fear. “Please let us come with her, we have nowhere else to go….”
Vernon frowned and then looked at Chloe, “Where’s their mother?”
“She’s inside, Uncle,” Aaron replied. “She is with the police.”
“Inside?”
“Mmnn…”
Chloe finally took a deep breath and tiptoed, trying to whisper in his ear, ‘Chelsea killed my mother. She also tried to kill her sons as well.’
Vernon’s eyes widened. He darted back at the boys, and his lips thinned.
He wanted to say something, but it wasn’t the right time, and he wasn’t heartless enough to leave these boys here when they actually had nowhere to go after a difficult night.
‘Crap, this will be a difficult situation to tackle,’ Vernon thought. He was about to open his mouth, but Chloe grasped his arm as tight as possible. She stared at him with a pleading gaze that finally crumbled Vernon’s defense. It was just impossible for him to leave them now.
“Tsk, let them in. We have a lot to talk about tonight, Chloe.”
