Chapter 403 403

"WE ARE DONE, VINCENT GRAY!" Chloe shouted right at Vincent's face. The high ceiling of the Principal's office made it easy for her voice to echo around the room, and that lingered in Vincent's head.

It was like an insult for Vincent, knowing that a woman dared to yell at him, and this woman was supposed to be his wife, the best piece of a good woman that would always obey him.

"Is that so?" Vincent replied lightly, but his jaw tightened, and a vein appeared on his temple when he heard that loud statement. His breath started to get heavy as he tried to hold his anger.

He knew it was weird for him to get angry when Chloe rejected him. After all, in his dictionary, there was no such thing as rejection.

Chloe's relationship with him was solely built because Chloe needed him as a man.

She was a weak, stupid woman, born from a poor family that could be bought with money.

Vincent bought Chloe's family with money, and even if he couldn't buy Chloe with money just because she was a bit too idealistic with what she viewed as a good family, he could just lock her up and bully her a bit until she gave up and became his obedient wife again.

"Do you understand that you're going to anger me now, Chloe Gray?" Vincent asked. "Just like what I said before, I have a paper thin patience for a stupid woman who said stupid shit."

Chloe observed Vincent from head to toe, and she knew that Vincent wasn't playing around, and the next thing that would happen was predictable for Chloe.

He would beat her up until she cried on the ground, trying to shield herself by curling her body like a ball.

She knew the risk and should've stopped here and apologized.

Yet…

She didn't want to do it.

She didn't want to beg for forgiveness anymore because no matter how many times Chloe would beg and kiss his feet, he would never change.

Thus, Chloe gritted her teeth as she tried to fight the fear creeping up from her feet.

Her knees were trembling, so she leaned at the desk for support. She gripped each side of the desk until her nails shallowly dug into the wooden desk.

"I will not change my mind, Vincent!" Chloe shouted boldly. "I said that we are done! So stop bothering me and sign the divorce paper already!"

Vincent's gaze got deeper and filled with maliciousness after he heard her answer. He scoffed at masking his terrible wrath, "You're truly an idiot, Chloe. Ten years with me, and you still failed to understand my preference."

"I want an obedient woman, how many times do I have to repeat that?"

"And I will never be an obedient woman for you, Vincent. Not when you don't appreciate me for the past ten years," Chloe retorted.

The more Chloe argued, the angrier he got.

He was at his limit, so he cracked his knuckles and murmured, "Well, there is nothing I can do then. I need to discipline my wife by beating her a few times. We did this a lot before, you can handle it."

Vincent took one step forward, and Chloe quickly threatened, "Don't you dare to come closer!"

"Why not?"

"B—Because I have bodyguards in the school! I can always shout as loud as I can, and they will come to save me!"

Chloe thought Vincent would be deterred after knowing she had a bodyguard, but he looked at her with a thin smile and tilted his head, "You mean the two bodyguards your new man sent to protect you? The man is acting as a security guard, and the woman is acting as a janitor, correct?"

"H—How could you—"

"I subdue them," Vincent replied curtly. "They're good, but not good enough when they have to fight five burly men at once, no?"

Vincent brazenly advanced two long steps toward Chloe until the tip of their shoes touched.

He leaned closer and faced the terrified Chloe with a vicious smile, "Do you think you can fight me with something like that? You should tell your new man not to take me lightly, or I will crush him once I know his identity."

Chloe gasped when she realized that Vincent could always obtain Vernon's identity by torturing those two bodyguards. Vincent seemed to catch on to the idea.

"I can always use those two bodyguards to tell me who is your new man, but that wouldn't be so fun, right? I'd love to know his identity through your mouth instead."

"I have thousands of methods to break your tiny escapade, Chloe. Do you think me— Vincent Gray, has no capacity to find a random man who dared to covet my wife?"

Vincent leaned even closer and placed his hands on top of Chloe's hand on the desk. He drew his face closer to Chloe's until the tip of their noses touched.

"You're so naive if you think you can fight back. Do you think this is some kind of wish-fulfilling story for a stupid woman like you?"

Vincent's viper-like gaze was so threatening when they were this close. Her whole body felt weak, and she started to feel lightheaded as fear took control.

'This is it. This is my end…' Chloe thought. 'I tried to fight back, but Vincent is just too much….'

She thought things couldn't get worse until her phone ringtone suddenly rang.

Chloe's eyes widened, and Vincent instantly noticed her fear upon hearing the ringtone.

He smirked evilly and asked, "Oh? It's so rare for you to get a call from someone. You don't have a friend after we got married, and you know that your family hates you, right?"

"With all that checked out, that only leaves one person to call you right now," Vincent said. He saw the terror in Chloe's eyes. She must've been terrified as the secret man's identity would be revealed soon.
