"You're right, Vincent. I accepted her into our family because she took care of Vernon. I've never liked that lowly woman. She is too dumb to realize that she married the heir of the Gray family," Dorothea said, acknowledging her defeat as she knew that Chloe was nothing but trouble. "Then, what are you going to do, Vincent? You know you can't let her free for too long. She will be a bad influence on my granddaughter!"

"Don't worry, Mom. I have my own way," Vincent replied. "I know she has been selling her body, probably to a crooked, rich old man in New York. Because she has paid Mackie's school tuition upfront, she doesn't have that much money."

"So she sold her body for money? What a gross woman!" Dorothea reacted strongly, "If she did that, I would never want her to step into the Gray Mansion anymore. That's disgusting!"

"You don't need to think about that, Mom. Once I bring her back into my house, I will ensure she won't want to show her face in public anymore. She is too dirty of a woman to come to our family gathering," Vincent said.

"Why don't you just marry someone else then?" Dorothea asked. Knowing how dirty Chloe was, it was the most logical to divorce her and marry someone else. "If you don't know which one to marry, I'll arrange you with some of my friends' daughters. I'll make sure they are under 20s, so they're still young and not saggy like your current wife."

…

"You're not in love with her, right? Vincent, if you love a cheap whore like Chloe, that means you're stupid," Dorothea said. She thought it was ridiculous for her son to love a whore. "We accepted her because you said despite her slum life, she is smart and a caring woman for Vernon and your future child. But now, she brought Mackie with her, even though she works as a high-profile prostitute. She is not a good mother, unlike me."

…

Vincent paused for a while, seemingly in deep thought, before answering his Mom's question, "It's a matter of pride. I don't love her, but she is still my official wife. I don't plan on remarrying, knowing that women out there are just like her. I don't want to take a second failure."

"Besides, it's a bad press for Gray Family to have a crumbling marriage," Vincent said.

Dorothea sighed, but what her son said was true. If Vincent and Chloe were divorced, it would be bad press for them all because Vincent was the heir of the Gray family, the new Master.

He even had his own PR team to control the news on the internet.

"Just do what you think necessary, Vincent," Dorothea said. "What kind of plan do you have anyway?"

"Simple," Vincent replied. "I will make sure that she will break as she realized she had no way out other than crawling back to me, her rightful husband. I've cut her off from her mother, so she has no way out other than that mysterious man she is with. Once that man kicked her out of his life, she will have nowhere to return."

"I will put pressure everywhere until she breaks down," Vincent added. "One more thing, I will search for that man who dares to pick her up. That man must be an old millionnaire living in New York. It'd be easy to comb through the list and find that guy with my connections. I'll make sure he suffers."

"You can do whatever. Just make sure that my granddaughter doesn't get hurt too much," Dorothea said. "She needs to continue her study. She is a smart girl, unlike her mother."

"Yeah, she reminds me of little Vernon," Vincent smiled, reminiscing about the little brother he raised together with Chloe. Mackie was just as much a brat, stubborn, yet endearing, just like Vernon.

"Maybe you should give her more money," Dorothea said. "Women love money. As long as you give her a lot, she won't complain."

"I wish Chloe is more like you, Mom. She is difficult. She doesn't seem to like everything I gave her," Vincent sighed. "Why can't she overlook me sleeping with other women just like you did with Dad."

Dorothea had a trace of sadness on her face, but she covered it quickly and looked away, "Because I know better than her. Money is the most important thing in this world. What's the use of me caring for the women your Dad brought? I am still the official wife after all, and I get all the money and privileges that none of his bitches had back then."

p Vincent nodded in full agreement. Chloe was just dumb. That was it.

Vincent and Dorothea talked about the businesses and investments that the Gray family made to ensure that everything was well-maintained as always. Vincent answered in full confidence because he was a competent businessman due to his late dad's teaching.

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention, Vernon and I are currently working together," Vincent informed her mother.

"Working together?"

"Yes, it's a small project involving our companies. Well, it's small for me. Even the profit earned is so minuscule. But it's a big project for the current scale of his company. So he took this very seriously."

"And what is it about?"

"A few TV shows and endorsement of some of the products produced by my company. I also entrusted him with a little money to invest in some of his projects. I want to see how much growth he has after ten years."

Dorothea felt slightly conflicted when she heard that Vincent and Vernon were working together. Of course, she was happy that Vernon seemed to have opened up to the family again after separating himself for ten years straight.

Vernon only called her when he needed help, mostly with his university admission back then. He lived off with the money sent by Vincent and Dorothea or just used his late Dad's unlimited black card.

But, even with all that money, Vernon still disappeared for ten years, refusing to even have a normal talk with Dorothea, his own mother.
