BXBX NOVEL Chapter 586 586
Vernon was busy in his office, as always. He was ten times busier than before because he had to accelerate some of his projects and plans to take advantage of the situation created by Dorothea before.
Now that his Big brother would be occupied for at least three months, he had a lot of meetings with Vincent's business partners. They were starting to jump ship and cooperate with Vernon because they had already sniffed the instability in the Gray company, so they had to save themselves first before that century-old company started crumbling.
Vernon had just finished a meeting with two more of Vincent's business partners and struck a quick deal with both of them for his next project. He checked his watch and sighed, "Almost five. I got to leave now after handling one more project with Diamond. I don't want Chloe to wait for too long for our dinner."
Vernon was also excited about Chloe's recovery. He couldn't wait to see her in full health again, doing anything she liked without worrying about her cast.
'And I have to protect her better from now on, so there'll be no more accidents that will lead to Chloe or Mackie getting hurt.'
Vernon entered his office and saw Diamond busy with her phone, scrolling through something that Vernon thought would be Tiktok or Twitter.
"You can relax later, Diamond. Don't laze around," Vernon chided.
Diamond looked up, and her eyes glimmered excitedly when she saw her Boss. She got up and yelled, "Sir! Check all social media's trending!"
Vernon frowned, "What's up there? Is it about the scholarship problem from the Gray foundation? I know it already, it's been trending for a while."
"No! There's a new one that pops up today! Holy shit, it's crazy!" Diamond couldn't hide her excitement any longer. She didn't even care that she was talking to her Boss.
Vernon's frown grew deeper. Diamond was acting weirdly excited now, as if the social media trend was big and important today.
'Maybe it's just another meaningless celebrity gossip,' Vernon thought. "Just put your phone down and go to work!" He scolded.
Diamond shook her head, "Sir, you have to see this video first!"
She shoved the phone screen in front of Vernon's face, and the first thing Vernon saw was the title.
-
Trending: Sisters fight. Two sisters are related to Vincent Gray?!
-
Vernon's eyes widened. She snatched the phone from Diamond's hand and pressed play.
—Video start—
The video was set in the parking lot of a hospital. There was a creepy woman with a Joker-like scar across her cheek, and Vernon identified it easily as Chelsea.
Chelsea was looking around as everyone was watching her, facing a beautiful woman that was definitely Chloe. Chloe held a boy Vernon didn't recognize, but it must've been one of her nephews.
"What are you looking at? Are you scared to see my scar?" Chelsea scoffed and suddenly pointed at Chloe, "Then you should blame this bitch! She is a two-faced bitch who sends someone to attack and carve this scar on me!"
Everyone gasped, and Chloe looked astonished.
Vernon clenched the phone. He was angry when he heard that bitch dared to slander his beloved.
Even if that bitch didn't know that Vernon was the one who sent the attacker, she should've known that Chloe was a kind woman that wouldn't do such a thing!
Vernon thought that Chloe would be crying or at least accept everything as she got scared easily.
But to his disbelief, Chloe actually fired back, "Watch your mouth, Chelsea! If you keep slandering me like this, then don't blame me if I take this to the court! Let's see how much you can pay for your bullshit!"
Chelsea's eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, then she boasted with a loud voice that echoed around the parking lot, "I AM THE FUTURE WIFE OF VINCENT GRAY! DO YOU THINK I CAN'T PAY YOU? I CAN FUCKING BUY YOUR LIFE, YOU UNGRATEFUL PIECE OF SHIT!"
—Video end—
Vernon was left speechless after the video ended abruptly. That last sentence was the video's highlight, creating a buzz.
There were a few top trending hashtags on Twitter regarding this issue.
#VincentGrayWife
#VincentFutureWife
#VincentandJoker
#JokerLady
Fortunately, there was no hashtag regarding Chloe, and nobody on social media tried to go around finding out about Chloe's identity. Because she looked very normal compared to Chelsea, who looked like a female Joker.,
Vernon returned the phone to Diamond and asked, "Go and start searching if anyone wants to know about Chloe's identity. Make sure to tell the IT team to take down any of them mentioning Chloe."
Diamond's excitement died when she realized that her Boss must've worried about Chloe's safety. She nodded, "Certainly, Sir. I will tell our IT team to take down anything mentioning Chloe."
"Good, I don't want her identity to be revealed. Things will get messy," Vernon said.
"Yes, but you shouldn't be too tense, Boss. As far as I know, everyone is talking about the female Joker, Chelsea. She really looks like a maniac with a creepy smile and scar that would scare everyone around her," Diamond said. "Now that she mentioned Vincent, everyone starts questioning if it was true that the lady was Vincent Gray's future wife."
"Vincent will do something about this," Vernon said. "And it won't be pretty."
"Oh, for sure, Sir. He will probably order all of his PR team to take this down. But it'd be too hard to do because it's such big news right now. Everyone is talking about it. I think the official accounts of many gossip news outlets are starting to pick this up as well," Diamond said confidently. "It won't be long until this news about Chelsea the crazy Joker lady and Vincent Gray will be covered in mainstream media!"
Diamond thought that Vernon would be more excited than this. But he looked concerned instead, "Sir, are you still thinking about Chloe?"
Vernon nodded, "I don't want people to start inquiring about her identity."
"Don't worry about that one, Sir. I will do my best to keep her identity concealed!" Diamond assured. "Besides, you should be happy! Chelsea's blunder means that Vincent will be very, very busy trying to handle the attention!"
