Chloe giggled as she got praised by Vernon. She wouldn't lie. She was happy with the compliments because she finally did something that made him happy. 

"I'm sorry for being useless for so long, Vernon. I will always try to support you no matter what," Chloe said. "I've always wanted to be useful to you because you've done so much for me."

"You're never useless—You know what, let's just ignore that," Vernon said, knowing there was no use in convincing Chloe no matter how hard he tried. Maybe it was her self-confidence that made her feel worthless occasionally. So it was Vernon's job to assure her that she mattered the most in his life.

Without her, he would go crazy.

"Let's just get into the business. Because I need my reward for yesterday," Vernon said as he kissed Chloe and went down to kiss her even further. 

Chloe giggled shyly, "Say no more, I'm more than willing, Vernon."

Diamond arrived in the office around ten, knowing well that her boss must've been sleeping or snuggling with her homegirl in his apartment right now., 

Diamond was excited after seeing that Chloe's plan to smear Vincent in public had come to fruition. Who would've guessed that her sweet homegirl was able to come up with an absolutely devious plan by using rumors to ruin Vincent's public reputation? 

Even Diamond couldn't come up with a better one!

"I always know they are meant for each other," Diamond said. "Chloe is a sweet woman with a strong sense of protection for her loved ones. She might look weak, but she can be vicious when her loved ones are threatened. She is a perfect match for a cold man like Vernon who was vicious and cruel, but had a soft spot for his family."

Diamond enjoyed reading the comments on many Social Media platforms. The topic of Vincent resurfaced again, and at this point, it would become the topic of the month or even the year because of how big the case was and how it involved a highly respected billionaire.

Vernon came to the office about an hour later. He had a perverted grin on his face, indicating that he had done something with Chloe last night or this morning.

Nevertheless, Diamond was also happy with the mood change because handling her boss when he was agitated was a nightmare.

"Come to my office, Diamond," Vernon said, and Diamond quickly tailed her boss to the CEO's office.

Vernon sat in his usual executive chair, facing Diamond with a grin, "Did you see the news today?"

"Of course, Sir!" Diamond replied joyfully. "It's so fun to see a bastard like Vincent get his reputation smeared in public by his own ex-wife!"

Vernon's grin widened, "But we shouldn't let ourselves be swayed by this quick victory. Remember our main goal against Vincent?"

"Yes, to get him in the rock bottom until he can't recover anymore, so he won't be able to touch Chloe once she is forced for the divorce to get processed in court," Diamond said.

"Yes, we need to make him in absolute ruin so Chloe would be able to leave him completely, and he won't be able to destroy her happiness at all," Vernon said. "So, how's the cremation process?"

"Just like what I told you before, Sir. I've handled it all, it will take ten days because of holidays though," Diamond reported. "Don't worry about Maria's henchmen, our men are currently torturing them enough so they wouldn't dare to say a thing."

"Good, I'm at peace knowing that old bitch is done for," Vernon nodded. "I've always hated her guts. Her ruthlessness knows no end. Now that she's dead, Vincent won't have any competent subordinate, at least not as competent as Maria."

Diamond remembered something when her boss mentioned a subordinate, "But Sir, what about the woman you mentioned yesterday? Vincent's ex-slut, don't tell me she is—"

"Yes, it's Priscilla," Vernon confirmed without hesitation. "I've already met her yesterday. I gave her fifty grand to get herself treated, she needs to look glamorous in front of Vincent."

Diamond's eyes widened, "Are you sure about this, Sir?"

"Why shouldn't I?"

"Because it's Priscilla! That hoe is for the street!" Diamond complained. "She is obviously a gold digger, what if she got swayed by Vincent and turned her back on us?"

"Don't worry, Diamond. She won't betray us this time," Vernon said firmly. "Because I know that she wants Vincent more than his wealth."

"She wants Vincent? Like… that man?"

"Yes, it's weird, I know. But it's obvious that Priscilla has an obsession with Vincent when I met her yesterday, so we can use that to our advantage," Vernon said. "I will have her infiltrate Vincent's office and become his secretary once more."

"I don't think that Vincent will accept her back, Sir. I mean, it's obvious that Vincent is over that woman already."

"Don't worry, I know just the way to force him to accept Priscilla as his secretary. I have everything planned, and in the end, Vincent will have nowhere to go."

Honestly, Diamond was still unsure about her boss' plan. She felt there was a high chance of Priscilla going to betray them. After all, she was just a gold digger who wanted money more than anything in this world.

But her boss seemed so sure about his plan, so she could just yield and follow instructions, "Well, you're the boss. Just so you know, you need a plan B in case this fails, which it probably will anyway."

Vernon chuckled, "Put some trust in me, Diamond. I know Priscilla more than you expect."

"Really? Did you ever…"

"No, not at all," Vernon's smile dissipated when he imagined himself with Priscilla. The image was so disgusting that it ruined his mood immediately. "I just know because Priscilla's obsession is similar to mine for Chloe, though probably more shallow."

"I know that Priscilla wants to have that title as Mrs. Priscilla Gray more than anything in this world, so let's make sure that she gets what she wants, shall we?"
