Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother-Chapter 504 504
Dorothea soon realized that Vernon was in a huge misunderstanding because she told Jonathan-- her driver, to book the room under his name.
Dorothea used her driver's identity because she was afraid that Vernon would find out about her immediately and kick her out, giving her no chance to speak with Chloe.
Who would've expected that small thing to lead to this big fight?
'Vernon still finds out about me in the end. I can only stay here for two days...' Dorothea lamented. She knew with this kind of misunderstanding, there was no way Vernon would try to tolerate her.
Dorothea kept hearing Chloe begging Vernon not to kick the door and to calm down. In contrast, Vernon kept yelling at her to let go so he could use his full strength to break the door open.
Dorothea saw the door could not hold Vernon's rage much longer. It'd definitely break after a few more kicks.
'There is no way for me to avoid him. The moment he destroys that door, he will see me, and I... I have no intention of hiding as well.'
Dorothea closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then walked to the drawer near the window to grab her purse and wear her heels.
She had decided upon one thing, and she was certain.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
'I'd rather let him see me as an awful mother forever, so I could prove Chloe's innocence,' Dorothea thought. 'Chloe is a good woman. I don't want Vernon to lose such a precious woman just because of a misunderstanding I created.'
BAM! BAM!
'Chloe, thank you for being so kind to me for the past two days. It might be short, but at least I know that someone still cares for an old woman like me.'
BAM!
'You're truly a gem for the Gray family. I'm sorry that everyone in my family mistreated you, including me....'
BAM!!!
Vernon had successfully kicked the door until the hinges were broken, and the door fell to the floor with a loud thump.
Vernon clenched his fists, ready to bash that rat bastard's head open, and he wouldn't be satisfied until that bastard was dead!
But the person standing in front of him was not a man. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂
It was an old woman. She looked haggard, with unkempt hair, a lot older than she usually looked, and wearing the pajamas prepared by the staff for the guest.
However, she still maintained that air of arrogance in front of Vernon.
She was Dorothea Gray, Vernon's mother, the vilest woman in the world, and the woman he despised the most in his life.
Vernon was so confused with his mother's presence that he just stood there speechlessly.
Dorothea stared at enraged Vernon and rolled her eyes sarcastically, "You look like an ape, Vernon. Why can't you act civilly?"
"D--Dorothea, s--stop talking!" Chloe didn't know why Dorothea suddenly returned to her old, condescending self that always mocked Vernon whenever they met.
Obviously, she really wanted to connect with her second son!
Chloe could 100% vouch that Dorothea was eager to be part of their small family a few moments ago!
Dorothea shifted her eyes at Chloe and scoffed, "I don't understand how could you stay with an ape like him. He doesn't act like a human, he's like an animal," Dorothea shrugged, "Oh well, I guess that's just how it is, a trash woman for a trash man. You two suit each other so well."
"Dorothea!" Chloe panicked. She thought Dorothea would try to pacify Vernon so they could talk. "V--Vernon, Dorothea is just not in her right mind. She really wants to make amends with you! In fact, she wants to help us!"
"Really? Did I ever say so?" Dorothea grinned maliciously. "You're so gullible, Chloe. No wonder Vincent cheated on you."
"Dorothea..." Chloe was shocked by Dorothea's harsh words. She had never said those words before.
Was she being tricked? Or was Dorothea trying to do something here?
Chloe pondered for a moment, but she was startled by Vernon's thundering voice.
"ENOUGH!" Vernon's voice filled the room with intensity. He stared at Dorothea as if he was about to rip her in half. But Dorothea didn't seem to care at all.
"What did you do to my woman?" Vernon asked. But it was obvious that he was not open for any kind of light banter right now.
"Hmm, just found out that Chloe is hiding with you right now, so I came here to check," Dorothea explained. "I know that you're going to kick me out if I book the room under my name, so I used my driver's id. He's that Jonathan."
Dorothea gave Chloe a mocking, condescending gaze, "Who would've expected that woman to be so gullible. With just a few fake tears, she melted and told me almost everything. Boo hoo."
"N--No, that's not-- Vernon, she is lying!" Chloe said. "She's trying to make you hate her! She has a lot of trauma and--"
"SHUT UP! I'VE HAD ENOUGH WITH YOUR STUPIDITY, CHLOE!" Vernon yelled, and Chloe staggered. She slowly released Vernon's arm and took a few steps back.
Vernon felt guilty instantly. He knew that she shouldn't have yelled at Chloe and shouldn't have called her stupid.
She was a kind woman, but kindness was a double-edged sword, often taken advantage of by a manipulative person like Dorothea.
Besides, this was not the time to apologize. Vernon had to kick that dying bitch out of his apartment first!
He darted his eyes back at Dorothea and roared, "YOU-- DYING BITCH, GET OUT OF MY APARTMENT!"
Chloe flinched, but Dorothea sighed, "It's a pity that I can't use that stupid woman to ruin you, but oh well, I've had my fun."
Dorothea's high heels tapped on the floor as she walked past Vernon and Chloe.
Chloe still believed that Dorothea must've been doing this so Vernon would hate her. She didn't know why, though...
"D--Dorothea--"
Dorothea halted her step when she heard Chloe calling her name. She looked over her shoulder and gave Chloe and Vernon a mysterious smirk, "Don't worry. I won't tell Vincent about this. I despise all of my sons equally now. Wish both of you were never born."
