'If he dares to hurt her after I gave up on her. I will… I will cut him into pieces. There's no need for him to live in the street after I get what I want, I will… straight up present his head for her…' Vernon murmured.

As he kept imagining the abuse in his head, his gaze naturally darkened and filled with blood thirst. But he soon shook his head because he thought that idea was absurd.

'No, what kind of idea is plaguing my mind? Why would I waste my time trying to do something so dangerous just because of a woman who ditched me?' Vernon wondered. He also found himself ridiculous for being so edgy, wanting to kill his Big brother because of her.

But he couldn't lie that dangerous idea in his head was so strong and real that it might as well come to reality if his Big brother really abused her.

Vernon's heartbeat started accelerating as the anger built up inside his heart started taking control of his body. His imagination went wild, imagining that his sister-in-law was in so much pain because of abuse, and the vivid description only made it even worse.

'Fuck, I want to beat someone— or something now. Vernon, why do you care about her anyway? Even if she got hurt, you should… should not….'

"Urgh!" Vernon got up from the sofa. He intended to go to his bedroom, lock the door, and destroy something there, so he could calm the storm in his heart.

But when he got up, he almost jumped in shock because his sister-in-law already stood behind the sofa with a forced smile, "Vernon, Mackie, it's time to eat lunch."

"Ah, Mommy!" Mackie jumped from the sofa and walked toward her mother. She hugged Chloe's waist and looked up, "Mommy, did you finish the soup?"

"Y—Yeah, I did," Chloe said, still with a forced smile. "I ate everything that you two gave me. So it's time for you two to eat, okay? Especially you, a young girl, need to eat well so you will grow up big!"

"Un!" Mackie turned her head towards Uncle Vernon, who stood unmovingly— like a stone. "Mommy, if I eat a lot, can I be as big and tall as Uncle? If I'm as big as him, I can protect you!"

"Ahaha… of course, dear. That's why you need to eat, okay?"

"Okay!"

Mackie released her hug and rushed to the dining table because she was hungry.

"Let's go, Mommy, Uncle! I want to eat!" Mackie yelled from the dining table.

Vernon kept staring at Chloe, who didn't seem to be much different after she literally puked her guts out.

She was noticeably paler and seemed to have washed her face, but other than that, she looked… normal.

As if the whole throwing up thing never happened, and it was all just in Vernon's imagination.

"Vernon, you should join Mackie. The food will get cold if you don't eat it now," Chloe said.

"Chloe, I saw you—"

"Ah, I finished the soup, by the way, that means I have eaten enough," Chloe interrupted. "You should eat with Mackie. She's been waiting."

…

Vernon felt that his sister-in-law didn't want to talk about the obvious, and he was also unsure how to confront her about the vomiting habit.

Thus, he walked to the dining table and joined Mackie sitting beside her.

"Didn't I tell you, Uncle? Mommy wants us not to talk about it!" Mackie said. "Let's eat, Uncle. Mommy cooked a lot for us!"

…

Vernon saw the plate full of food his sister-in-law had prepared. It was so nutritious and full, but Vernon was so reluctant to eat it because he knew that Chloe would never touch any of it for a reason he didn't know. After all, she didn't want to talk about it.

**

Today was the weekend, but Vernon wasn't completely free. Because he had to meet with his business partners about the ongoing project involving Vincent Gray's investment, it was a very important project for them all, but not for Vincent himself.

He repeatedly said he'd be willing to lose money for his little brother, but Vernon didn't want to take any chances. He needed his full trust if he wanted to get a bigger slice of the power his Big brother had.

He said nothing to his sister-in-law, but Chloe noticed that Vernon was busy on his iPad before went to his bedroom. Hence, she assumed he was preparing to meet one of his business partners again.

Chloe quickly prepared his tie and black loafers that she washed by herself since Vernon had so many shoes untouched in the storage room.

When Vernon opened the door, he was already well dressed, only missing a tie and shoes. He was quite surprised when he saw his sister-in-law standing in front of the door, giving him the tie.

"Will you come home late today?" Chloe asked as she offered the tie.

Vernon stared at his sister-in-law for a while, and his cheeks gradually reddened, especially his ears, that was seriously red.

"Y—Yeah, I'll be home late today," Vernon replied. "No need to cook for me."

"Okay, I'll spend the evening eating out then. I want to treat Mackie to her favorite dessert and watch a new movie," Chloe said. "O—Of course, I will make sure to count my spending, don't worry…."

Vernon was still annoyed that his sister-in-law kept saying that she'd count her spending. He gave her the black card so she could buy anything she wanted. Vernon didn't care if his sister-in-law bought a tiger as a pet with that money if she found it fun or necessary.

It also didn't make sense that she kept repeating that when she was obviously very spoiled by Vincent.

But Vernon had no mood to be angry. He was just… disturbed and disappointed by his sister-in-law's attitude towards him.

"You can do whatever with that Black card. I don't care," Vernon said without any hidden intention. Though, it sounded so different in Chloe's mind.

"O—Okay, thanks, Vernon," Chloe said half-heartedly, much to Vernon's disdain.

"Whatever, I'll leave now."
