"I AM VINCENT GRAY, I CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT!"

Vincent's thundering roar reached the ear of the maid guarding outside of Vincent's office. Her heart jumped, and her legs trembled instantly.

She was glad she wasn't inside the office when her Master was roaring. But still, her heart was filled with fear as she imagined Master Vincent Gray's malicious viper-like gaze. 'Oh my god, I don't know what will happen to that old woman. She might die out of a heart attack!'

She was afraid that the maids and security guards would have to carry out a dead old woman after this.

However, she was completely wrong about Maria. She was an old lady with a lot of experience with a megalomaniac like Vincent Gray.

Thus, when Vincent roared in front of her face, she didn't budge, and her cold heart was still beating regularly. She had expected everything out of his craziness.

'It's all in their blood,' Maria reminded herself.

After all, she had worked with Vaughn Gray for more than two decades and knew him well, and this kind of thundering roar full of pride was a regular behavior for them.

Besides, Vincent Gray was almost like his late father's carbon copy, at least Vaughn's version after he got married.

Because for a reason unknown, young, unmarried Vaughn was very similar to Vernon, but the married one was like Vincent.

'Well, that doesn't matter. That treacherous young man— Vernon Phoenix Gray, will turn out to be just like his Big brother after he gets married to a woman.'

Vincent glared at her with his viper-like gaze, waiting for Secretary Maria's response. She knew he was trying to intimidate her because he was now angry. So he simply wanted to find a random person he could abuse until he calmed down.

That role was usually filled by Chloe for years, until she decided to run away like an idiot.

But Maria wasn't the prey that he could bite. She gazed back with steadfastness. She showed no fear because she knew how to handle the Gray.

"Indeed, you can do whatever you want, Sir," Secretary Maria said calmly. "As you can see in that video, your wife dares to fight back, even raise her voice against me because she has been spoiled rotten by that bastard who made her a kept woman."

"A woman like her needs to be taught, so she will know her place. What you're doing right now is very destructive, Sir," Maria continued adding fuel to the fire. Her main objective was to stimulate her boss to at least do something.

"What would happen if you took too long to catch her? She will fight back until she has no more respect for you. She will be too difficult to handle."

Vincent listened to everything the old hag said, and the fire in his heart exploded instantly.

He felt humiliated and angry to the point that he couldn't even yell anymore.

So he scoffed, full of irony instead.

"Heh… do you think I can't handle a woman like her? She has been under my thumb for more then ten years—"

"—And she becomes unfettered after only six months outside," Secretary Maria interrupted.

Vincent gritted his teeth. He slammed the table again and pointed his index at her face, "DON'T YOU DARE UNDERESTIMATING ME! I WILL MAKE HER OBEY ME AGAIN AFTER SHE CRAWLS BACK!"



Secretary Maria thought that she had done her best to stimulate Vincent. Now he looked more like a crazed beast than a human.

"Then, Sir, do you want me to do something to catch her as soon as possible? I can do it," Maria offered.

Vincent calmed down after a while.

Honestly, he wanted to catch her and force her to crawl on his feet, making her cry and beg for her life because she had been trying to run away from him.

But since he found out that he got aroused seeing Chloe fight back, he had another idea in mind.

"Not now, Secretary Maria," Vincent replied firmly. "I will let her roam free for now, I want her to be healthy and return to her younger days, when she was a glamorous beauty."

"I want her to fight back," Vincent said, then a malicious smirk slowly appeared as he lowered his gaze to stare at Chloe's beautiful face on the iPad screen. He used his index to touch her cheek as if touching the real person.

There was a trace of insidiousness mixed with obsession in his eyes, "And I will have my fun, until she couldn't handle it anymore and begged to be spared. It's fun to make her cry."





Maria went silent as she was truly shocked by his answer.

No, she wasn't shocked when Vincent said all the horrible things he'd done to Chloe. After all, it was in his blood, and he had done it for the past ten years or so.

But what surprised her was him telling her to wait. She thought her boss would tell her to find that bitch Chloe Gray and bring her to him as soon as possible.

'Did I not stimulate him enough? I really thought we could just bring that spoiled woman back to his mansion and get this over with,' Secretary Maria pondered.

Vincent took a deep breath to calm himself down. He was overly stimulated with anger, but that only gave him an even crazier idea of what he would do to Chloe once she returned.

Vincent sat and leaned on his chair, "Send all of the video of her to my phone, then you can leave, Secretary Maria."

The old secretary was still confused about his reaction, "Sir, are you sure you don't want me to bring her back?"

"No need. I want her to grow first," Vincent replied. "I want to pluck her when she blooms beautifully, and then crush her with my feet. Did I make it clear or you have to be told like a kindergarten student?"

"… Yes, Sir, I understand…"
