[Song Recommendation: Joji - Die for You.]

It had been a while since Vincent checked on his own company.

Khloe and Nigel spoon-fed him about the situation of the Gray company, but to summarize it, it was fucked.

Everything was on fire, and it didn't seem salvageable at this point, which wasn't surprising. The disastrous press conference left a sour taste to everyone, and Vincent knew that his days as CEO were numbered.

But he couldn't care less about that. All in his mind right now was the realization that he would never be able to get Chloe back.

She was free from his grasp now, free to do whatever she wanted. She could even marry her new man with a forged document, just like how they forged Mackie's document, so she could transfer schools without having to notify her previous school.

Vincent sighed. He knew he was at fault because he went too far in disciplining Chloe.

But he thought that was the only way to keep her by his side. He was just copying what his late Dad did to his Mom since it worked exceptionally well on his mother. He thought that was the right way so Chloe wouldn't leave him.

"If only I can turn back time, I want to make things right," Vincent murmured. "I want to show her that I love her, I truly love her…."

Vincent had lost almost all of his power right now. Since Maria was presumed dead, he had nobody to do a manhunt for Chloe, and his reputation was already at rock bottom anyway. There was no point in doing another press conference just to get Chloe back.

All he had right now was a pile of money he was sitting on, all the generational wealth that the Gray family had, and all of his inheritance.

He could live a comfortable life for the rest of his life and for his child and grandchild.

But Mackie wasn't with him right now, and it didn't seem that both Mackie and Chloe didn't want any of his money anymore.

"But this is all I have…." Vincent lamented. "I have money, and that's it. Unfortunately, Chloe and Mackie wouldn't be here just because of money."

It dawned upon him once he realized that Chloe actually left him, the heir of the Gray family, with a multi-billion dollar business and huge inheritance and influence in many sectors.

He was also very handsome and young. He was many women's dream husband, yet Chloe still left him. So he realized that nothing he could do to stop her from leaving in the end.

"What should I do now, Chloe? I miss you so much, this feeling in my heart is crushing me," Vincent murmured. "I want to meet you, I want to explain everything and get your forgiveness. I want us to start again, even if it may seem impossible."

Vincent kept on murmuring about Chloe, staring at the garden she cared for when she was still in the mansion.

Chloe was indeed a great housewife. She might not be a flashy socialite that would impress everyone in the room.

But she was a sweet beauty, the kind of woman that was stable and comforting. She took care of the house seriously, ensuring the mansion they lived in felt like a real home.

She even went as far as designing the garden, so whenever Vincent opened the master bedroom window, he would see a beautiful garden that would improve his mood.

Chloe was also a good mistress of the house. She made sure that all of the workers in the mansion were well taken care of. It was apparent after she left, plenty of the good and dedicated workers, mostly cooks and maids, left as they were more loyal to Chloe.

"Is it too late for me to do something?" Vincent wondered. He stared at the garden from the window and realized that the garden hadn't been tended for a while.

The head maid said that the gardener quit because she worked with Chloe for years, and without the mistress, she didn't know what kind of work she had to do next.

Though that reason sounded weird, Vincent knew that the gardener simply didn't want to work with him after Chloe left.

Vincent sat in silence, staring at the ruined garden, until he heard someone knock on the door.

He turned his head towards the door and saw Khloe and Nigel coming into his room.

He didn't react much when he saw them, and he didn't really care about what they would say because he knew they would always bring bad news.

'The company wasn't in a good condition.'

'The stock is falling.'

'Almost all of the business partners have left, the company won't be able to survive without suppliers for the chains.'

'The company is doomed.'

Those words coming out of their mouths felt like nothing for Vincent. He didn't give a damn if that company was destroyed because it was Chloe who wanted to destroy it.

Chloe knew his weaknesses and decided to go against him just to destroy his career in public.

And since that was the revenge she wanted, then so be it.

Let that company die and rot because he didn't need it anymore. He didn't even know why he had to be so busy taking care of that business when he had no goal whatsoever.

He just thought that as long as he was powerful and rich, Chloe would stay by his side forever.

"Good morning, Mr. Gray, I'm here to give you the report of the current situation in our company, we are not in a—"

"Stop talking, Nigel. I already know what you're about to say," Vincent interrupted, not wanting to go through the same routine every day. "I've already given up on my position as CEO, give that role to whoever you think fits it."

Nigel and Khloe looked at each other and nodded at the same time, "Sir, Gray company… it's on the verge of collapse. There is nothing we can do to stop it."
