"I-- Vincent Gray-- never make a wrong choice in my life. Chloe is indeed the perfect wife for me," Vincent claimed with confidence. He always thought nobody was good enough to be his wife except Chloe; even now, he still retained that idea.

Chloe was her perfect woman.

She was beautiful, intelligent for a woman, and a good parent to Mackie. Though not as good as him, he was obviously better when teaching his descendant how to be a good Gray.

"And the most important thing is... she can endure a lot of beating. She could endure it for ten years, and she can endure it for ten years in the future as well," Vincent said. "She was also very tolerant with all the women I slept with. I won't be able to find a good wife as good as her."

"She's designed to be with me, that's why I will take her back... after she's healthy of course. It'd be fun to make her lose weight or gain weight uncontrollably."

Vincent had calmed down a lot after he talked about Chloe. The image of Chloe whimpering and hugging her leg as she begged to be spared was like a drug that made Vincent feel both powerful and peaceful simultaneously.

After that, he was able to control himself, resuming the usual calm and collected Mr. Vincent Gray, who was always clear-headed when facing any kind of problem.

Simply because he had his wife in his mind.

He left the bathroom while carrying the suit in his hand. He walked calmly, with the aura of a confident yet controlled man, unlike the one who cursed in the bathroom just now.

He returned to his car and sat inside for a while, trying to rethink his next plan.

He got a call from Judith about Chelsea's condition, and that old woman begged her to pay for her hospital fee because they had nothing left.

And he did, only because he thought he could use Chloe's family for his future plan.

"Hmm... I don't think I can use her family to persuade her to return home," Vincent murmured. "I heard from Judith that Chloe rejected all of her calls before she completely blocked all of them, making her uncontactable with her own family."

"So I can't use them as a persuasion tool. But I can always use them as a hostage."

"Chelsea is so ugly now, I bet I can use her desperation for something of my benefit," Vincent thought. He had the idea of making her in love with him, so she would do whatever his bidding was, including hunting for Chloe.

"It's good to have a pawn that would do everything I ordered," Vincent said coldly. "Especially when she's close to my wife."

Vincent was curious about the attacker. Based on the wound inflicted, Vincent guessed this was a planned attack from someone who targeted her and her family.

"But who would spend his time and money just to attack a family of useless beggars? They don't have anything to offer."

"Could it be... Chloe?" Vincent wondered. The only one that had direct contact with Chelsea was Chloe. He also knew that Chelsea and Judith had been talking down to her and always blamed her whenever she said she wasn't happy living with Vincent.

He was willing to send money to this family because they unintentionally bullied Chloe, so it was easier for Vincent to do his part without getting discovered by too many people.

"Hm... I don't think Chloe is vicious enough to do that. She is weak willed. She won't even fight back after you hit her face," Vincent said lightly, warding off his suspicion.

"Hmm, if not Chloe, then could it be that asshole? The man she's with right now?" Vincent felt a small heartache when he realized that Chloe was with another man, but he quickly ignored it as he had something more important to think about.

"It's very possible that Chloe asked her new lover to send someone to attack Chelsea out of spite. Maybe she's truly fed up and finally wants revenge?" Vincent smirked upon hearing his own theory.

Because he would be the first to rejoice if Chloe had decided to be a bit more challenging.

"I got bored with the meek woman she has become. If she turns out to be just like me, I'd be more than happy to break her."

"Though, it's just more believable if Chloe knows nothing about this, but that man did it without telling Chloe."

Vincent tried to arrange his new plan for now.

First, he had to continue treating Chelsea right because she would be his pawn later. He wanted her to be so devoted that she would jump to a cliff without question for him.

Second, he had to keep Chelsea's ugly face no matter what. It would be her source of desperation and benefit him in the long run.

Third, he wanted to see what this attacker would do next.

He didn't believe that the attacker would just stop after Chelsea. He must aim for Chelsea's forgettable husband or even the old Judith.

"Let's see what you will do next. Hopefully it'll be more entertaining than this," Vincent smirked from ear to ear. He chuckled, full of maliciousness. "If this attack is truly done by Chloe's new man, then he is making a huge mistake."

"Chloe is a person who values her family. So much so that she would do everything to keep her family intact, even if it will cost her own happiness."

Vincent actually knew so much about Chloe, including the fact that Chloe was the one who desperately tried to cover up for him when it came to their daughter, Mackie.

She would do many stupid shits, like lying to calm Mackie down or buying toys in his name, so Mackie would think that his Dad was the one who bought them.

He knew everything. He simply didn't care about trivial stuff, and it was fun to see Chloe's desperation.

"Well, this is getting very interesting. Let's see what will happen next, my wife, Chloe Gray."
