BXBX NOVEL 300 Chapter 300
She smiled maliciously as she was satisfied with her makeup, "See? I am still the prettiest woman Vincent ever has."
Priscilla walked naked around her bedroom and opened the wardrobe. She picked her favorite black dress that was barely covering her butt. The tight dress accentuated her hips and pressed her boobs as if they would burst out soon.
Priscilla wore her high heel and sprayed her sweet perfume that would incite a man's desire. She fixed her hair a little, and after she was done with her preparation, she walked around the bedroom while posing in front of a tall mirror.
She was awed by her beauty and thus commented, "There is no way Vincent wouldn't be tempted by this. This is the dress he bought on my birthday. He said I should save it for a special occasion."
"Well, there is no special occasion. But I will use it anyway, I will make sure he will not be able to resist me!" Priscilla claimed.
She checked the time, just to ensure she would come at the right moment, and seduced Mr. Vincent Gray, the Billionaire CEO and the Master of the Gray family.
"Hmm…" Priscilla smirked. "Should be the right time to come to his mansion. He always returned to that mansion after work ever since that fat whale left him."
Priscilla didn't know what had changed in her beloved lover. She thought Chloe was just an insignificant bug that stopped them from marrying.
Thus, Priscilla was so happy when Chloe finally left, as she had no competition to be the new Mrs. Priscilla Gray.
But it didn't seem to be the case.
Vincent suddenly changed without reason and became so… strict.
"Hmph, who cares whether he has changed or not. Maybe he's just dealing with stress. After all, he has so much work to do."
Priscilla grabbed her handbag and left her shabby apartment. She called a cab.
'And I will be one who helps him de-stressing,' Priscilla thought as she entered the cab and headed straight to Vincent Gray's mansion.

Chloe was clutching the steering wheel as she left the diner and drove to Mackie's school.
She felt giddy and nervous simultaneously because she had just punched Vincent's current bitch without mercy.
"Holy crap, I was so cool!" Chloe celebrated and praised herself for having some guts.
Though, she knew that courage came because of Vincent. She was so pissed off and angry about anything relating to Vincent, so she would automatically retaliate when there was someone who looked similar or was related to him in some way.
So what she did to Priscilla was… a part of her anger towards her bastard ex-husband.
She was happy, but…
"Priscilla will definitely report this to Vincent. I don't know what Vincent would do to me…." Chloe wondered.
She shuddered out of fear. No matter how much she hated Vincent, she couldn't simply erase the impact of ten years of abuse in a few months.
She still feared him and wanted to retaliate as much as possible, even though she knew how powerful he was.
"Will he… hunt me down?" Chloe wondered. "H—He won't search me and then beat the shit out of me, right?"
Chloe started questioning whether she did the right thing standing up for herself or if she should just let Priscilla slap her…
She parked her car in front of Mackie's school gate and waited for her daughter to leave the school. The idea of Vincent beating the shit out of her was still lingering in her head, like a nightmare she couldn't dispel.
But she snapped out of her daze when the bell rang. Chloe saw Mackie waving her little hand at her and running toward her Mommy.
"MOMMYYY!"
Chloe smiled as her heart felt warm and waved back at Mackie.
'Ah, I don't know what will happen in the future. But I want to be strong, just like my daughter. So I should not regret anything that I've done.'
'Everything happens because Vincent can't straighten himself for seven years.'
"Mommy!"
"Princess!" Chloe crouched and hugged her daughter. "How's school? And how about you practice for the drama?"
"Everything went well, Mommy! But Mr. Rush told me to practice my growling, so I will look scarier as a big bad wolf!" Mackie reported. "I will ask Uncle to practice with me on the weekend!"
'Uh-oh— I don't think that's a good idea…' Chloe thought, though she didn't have the heart to tell Mackie.
After all, Mackie had no idea that her Mommy and Uncle had a fight because her Uncle was a sexist pig, just like her Daddy.
"Mommy?" Mackie noticed that her Mommy looked nervous. "Can I practice with Uncle?"
Mackie remembered that she couldn't have breakfast and dinner with Uncle Vernon for a while. She didn't understand why, but Mommy forbade her to go up for some reason.
"A—Ah, yes, I—I will talk to your Uncle later. Let's just go home now, okay?"
"Okay!"

Vincent went home early after he finished a meeting. He was satisfied with the new arrangement that he had made.
'Now, every businessmen working close with my family will be suspicious of each other. They will start hunting for the one who hides Chloe and Mackie,' Vincent thought.
'And to save their asses, they wouldn't hesitate to report to me if they found their former colleagues had been doing something shady behind my back, like what Gregory Maxwell did.'
'They will start competing for my favor, and that is exactly what I want, hahaha….'
Vincent had always been able to control those crooked bootlickers with ease. After all, he was the one who made them depend on his company so much, to the point that all of their companies would crumble once Vincent broke the contracts between them.
But he just didn't have the urge to do so as he thought it was unnecessary.
"Well, not anymore. One of them is brave enough to hide my wife and daughter. He is challenging my authority, so everyone will have to suffer until that guy's identity is revealed."
