"Thus, I concluded the benefactor who knows about their existence is also one of the people who are close to our family," Vernon said.

Vincent went silent for a while. He closed his eyes, seemingly considering Vernon\'s statement, and finally nodded.

"You\'re right. Chloe is a lowborn, she has no rich relatives. So if she wanted to run away and become an old man\'s whore, she would be contacting the ones she knew from the Gray family," Vincent said. "She contacted you as well, right?"

"Yes, she did. I rejected her request of wanting to work in my office," Vernon replied. "But she seems to be so desperate, Big bro."

"She should be desperate. She must realize that running away from me will only cause suffering for herself and our daughter. That bitch needs to know how much I hate a traitor."

Vernon watched his Big brother\'s expression tighten when he talked about Chloe. For a man who said that he didn\'t give a shit about her, he sure looked very concerned.

Vincent closed his eyes again as he realized that he had let out too much emotion in his expression. He calmed down and tapped the document on the desk, "Nevertheless, I will check all the people you\'ve listed here, and I\'ll investigate. I\'ll see which one I can weed out. Hopefully, one of them is the man who hides my wife and daughter."

Vincent stared at his little brother, and a thin smile appeared on his face, "Thank you for your hard work, little bro. You did well."

Vernon\'s eyes sparked with joy, and he nodded vigorously, "It\'s fine, Big bro! I just want to help you!"

"Then, do you need anything as a reward? Say it to me and I will give it to you."

"Uhh…" Vernon acted as if he was confused, even though he had already predicted everything, including the possibility that his Big brother would offer him a reward for this.

"No idea yet?"

"Yeah, no idea yet, Big bro…."

"Well, you can think about it first. I\'m a man of my word, I will fulfill any request," Vincent said. He was in an even better mood after realizing that Vernon hadn\'t planned anything for his reward.

His attitude showed that he was genuinely trying to help his Big brother, which pleased Vincent to no end.

"Thanks, Big bro!" Vernon smiled wide. "Oh, I\'m also here to give you a report about the progress of our project."

"Hm? A progress? I think it\'s still too early for a report," Vincent frowned.

"No— no, Big bro, I already progressed at least halfway to the project. I just need to find the right start for the show and advertising your product as well. I uh… I worked even on weekends, and I always return to my apartment late at night because I want this project to be perfect!"

Vernon took another file from his briefcase and put it on the desk for Vincent to check on.

Vincent raised one brow, picked up the file, checked on it for about five minutes, and put it back on the desk, "It\'s great. Continue with the progress."

"Eh? Big bro, you only checked it for five minutes? But I prepared so much for you to check!" Vernon said frustratedly. "Isn\'t the whole point of you emptying your schedule for a day so we can talk about our company project?"

"Pfft… Hahahaha!" Vincent suddenly laughed, which surprised Vernon.

"B—Big bro?"

"Sorry, sorry, I didn\'t expect you to think like that," Vincent snickered. It had been a while since he felt like joking around with someone. After all, his life was pretty grim, filled with nonstop work, booze, and women.

"Vernon, I emptied my schedule because I\'m meeting my only little brother. Of course I don\'t want to be bugged by random troubles in the office when I\'m spending my time with my family," Vincent replied. "Besides, I\'m planning to invite you to play a game after this, a golf match perhaps?"

"But I don\'t have my golf set ready, Big bro," Vernon said. He looked a little disappointed, which Vincent noticed immediately.

"Do you not like spending time with your Big bro? We\'ve been doing nothing but talking about business, Vernon. It\'s good to relax a little."

"I know, but… I\'m here fully prepared to give you a presentation on the progress of our project, Big bro," Vernon said.

"Hahah, fine, let\'s see how you\'re going to convince me with your presentation, then we will grab brunch before going to the golf course. Don\'t worry about the set, I just invested in a golf club a few months ago, they will supply everything for us."

"Sure!"

Thus, Vernon started his professional presentation in front of his Big brother. Vincent watched how Vernon was so serious about the small project between them, it showed his dedication, but as Vincent observed Vernon, he noticed a few things that felt off…

p \'Hmm… is it just my eyes, or the way he styled himself in a suit looks very similar to how Chloe prepared the suit for me?\' Vincent pondered.

He identified a few things that his bitch wife usually prepared for him, such as warm color and a tie that usually blended well with the shirt— so if she picked a blood red shirt, the tie would either be black or scarlet.

The cufflinks she often picked were the ones that had minimal motive but always had different shapes.

Vincent had to admit— despite her status as a peasant who was born to a single mother who could barely survive from one paycheck to the next one, Chloe had a great quiet fashion aesthetic when she dressed him up.

Which was something that still couldn\'t be fulfilled by any of those fashion design graduates.

Vincent continued listening to Vernon\'s explanation until his little brother finished his presentation, "Okay, that\'s all from me, Big bro. Do you have anything to ask regarding the project?"

Vincent smiled. He rubbed his chin, seemingly trying to find a question for the near-perfect presentation that his little brother gave.

But his focus was solely on the way Vernon dressed. Thus he asked, "Vernon, did your girlfriend prepare your suit?"
