It was simply because he had no more will to fight back.

He had lost his sanity when Chloe decided to walk away with their daughter, and he finally lost everything when he found out that Chloe was going against him to bring him down.

He was just a defeated man right now, and Vernon understood it very well.

"Why won't you fight back, Big bro? Are you that much of a weakling?" Vernon tried to provoke Vincent, hoping that Vincent would eventually fight back. He wanted to beat the shit out of this guy, but he didn't want to beat someone who barely had the willpower to live.

"I… am… a broken… man…" Vincent replied with difficulty, as it was difficult for him to breathe. "I don't… care… anymore…"

"S—Sir, please drop him! You might strangle him to death!" Priscilla—now Khloe—begged as she tried to pull Vernon's hand to release Vincent. But she was so weak compared to Vernon that he didn't budge. "Just let him sign the documents, isn't that enough for you?!"

Vernon gritted his teeth. He was disappointed and also mad that Vincent had no more fighting spirit in him. He could snap this bastard's head in one try, but it wouldn't be satisfying.

The revenge that he had meticulously planned all this time ended up dry because of Vincent's weak reaction. So, in the end, he just released his clutch on Vincent's collar, and he dropped like a doll whose strings had been cut.

"Sir!" Priscilla tried to help Vincent onto the floor, but Vincent pushed her away while he was coughing.

"Get away from me, you goddamn phony Chloe!" Vincent yelled.

When Vernon strangled him just now, Vincent remembered Chloe and Vernon in his nightmare. They looked so harmonious in that nightmare as if nothing could come between them, and they would be together forever.

Vernon was infatuated with Chloe, and Chloe showed the same warmth and love that she showed to him when they were married before.

Vincent kept on grieving and grieving, and he felt like he might as well kill himself if they saw those two marrying.

Luckily, it didn't seem to be the case. Chloe and Vernon weren't together, and it was all in his imagination. It was the only good thing he had going right now because that meant his effort to separate Chloe and Vernon a decade ago was a success.

"Tsk, this is boring," Vernon said. He sat back on the sofa and crossed his legs. He pointed at the documents and ordered arrogantly, "Go sign everything, I get bored with you, Big bro. I lost my interest to beat the shit out of you because you look like a weakling."

Vincent said nothing. He got up and sat back on the sofa directly facing Vernon.

He signed everything in silence. He had no more willpower to read it, and he didn't even care if this was a fraud and Vernon wouldn't send him a dime as proof of purchase.

He just wanted to get everything over with. In fact, he'd be glad to hand this whole company to Vernon without getting paid, so at least half of his burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

Vincent finally signed the last document and put the pen down. He looked at Vernon, who had that malicious smirk, but he didn't care anymore, "I've signed everything. We're done now."

"You don't even want to read the rest of the documents? Maybe you want to rip some of the papers because I might put something disadvantageous for you in there, Big bro."

"I don't care, Vernon," Vincent replied. "I just want to get this over with, so I can finally let go of my responsibility. I just want to rest, I want to sleep for a long time, and wake up thinking that things have returned back to normal and I still have my wife and daughter by my side."

Vernon scoffed, "That's impossible. Besides, I didn't expect you to care so much about your daughter. I thought you don't want her at all. You prefer a son, right?"

…

"You're right, I don't care about Mackie. I just think that Chloe will stay as long as I have Mackie with me," Vincent admitted. "Well, it doesn't matter now. Chloe and Mackie are gone, and there's nothing I can do right now except to accept everything."

Vernon was so pissed with the idea of a peaceful life for Vincent. He wanted Vincent to suffer so much that he couldn't even close his eyes because he'd always be in a nightmare whenever he tried to sleep.

He had an idea in mind but wasn't sure if Chloe would be on board, so he had to discuss it with her first.

"Well, thank you for your business, Big bro," Vernon said. He glanced at Meyer, and the latter quickly collected all the documents that had been signed. "I will review all of those documents first, it shouldn't take long, probably in a week at most, and then you will see the money in your account—

well, multiple, if that's what you need."

Vernon stretched his arm, waiting for Vincent to shake his hand.

Vincent stared at his little brother's hand for a while until he shook it.

Vernon could feel how weak Vincent was when they did a handshake. It was a contrast to how powerful he was when he abused Chloe with the same hand.

Vernon was disgusted with how much of a bitch Vincent turned out to be when facing a setback. Vincent wasn't fit to lead a big company whatsoever. He was a weak man, and the only thing supporting him was all the generational wealth he inherited and the huge ego after being worshiped by everyone around him.

But not anymore.

'You ruined my life, Big bro. So I take back what I deserve.'
