Chapter 762
Vincent returned to the master bedroom and began to read the summon notice carefully.
They specified all the things that Chloe demanded, so Vincent didn't need to go to court as long as he agreed with everything and then prepared his documents to sign up for the divorce.
Of course, they could make this hassle-free without any divorce court or involving any divorce lawyer.
But of course, Vincent didn't want that.
He refused to simply sign the documents and called it a day for the divorce.
He would do everything as long as Chloe couldn't divorce him. He wanted them to stay husband and wife until death did them part!
Unfortunately, that idea was soon defeated when Vincent saw the demands that Chloe wanted from him.
He expected her to demand compensation in the form of assets, probably wanting half of his money or the mansion, and wanting him to pay child support for a ridiculous amount, so he could use those grounds to contest the divorce.
But what he saw was… nothing.
Chloe literally demanded nothing.
She didn't demand any assets.
She also didn't demand to pay child support.
She didn't try to rip him off his money, which frustrated him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What is this?" Vincent asked himself. "Why aren't you demanding money from me?! How am I supposed to challenge this kind of divorce?!"
He was frustrated because this was also a direct mockery to him.
This was a sign that Chloe was happy being pampered by her new man and a direct show off that her new man was far richer than Vincent could ever be.
Vincent gritted his teeth, "No, there must be a way to challenge this divorce!"
Thus, Vincent continued reading, trying to find anything that could help him, and there was one that could help.
-
The child's complete custody is on the mother's side, and no visitation is allowed.
-
Vincent saw a chance for him. His eyes glimmered with hope as he could challenge this one.
"I don't care about Mackenzie. But if this is enough to stop the divorce, I will demand visitation—no, full custody!"
Vincent quickly called Khloe, as she was the only professional worker he had right now, and she picked it up quickly.
—
"Y—Yes, Sir? Can I do something?"
"Khloe, find the best divorce lawyer in New York. My wife had just filed a divorce against me. And I want to contest her appeal," Vincent said coldly. He regained a bit of his vigor, thinking he could save his marriage.
Khloe went silent for a moment and then replied, "Alright, Sir. I will try to contact as many famous divorce lawyers as possible in New York. I will call you back in an hour. I should be able to contact all of them in a short time."
"Good, I expect a good result, Khloe," Vincent said.
—
Vincent was relieved once he hung up the call, "Don't ever think about divorcing me, Chloe. I won't let you, even if I have to go through hell and back!"
Priscilla hung up the call and stared at her real boss, who sat at the CEO desk of the Gray company.
"You heard everything, Boss," Priscilla said as she had already put the phone on the loudspeaker, so Vernon could hear everything they discussed. "What should I do next?"
"What should you do next? Heh…" Vernon sneered. "The best divorce lawyer in New York is Graham Hubbard, and he is busy handling a case of a billionaire's son, Henry Grant, and his new girlfriend who wants to get divorced from her deadbeat husband."
"How did I know? Well, I called him, and he said he'd be unavailable for an indefinite amount of time. That's why I have to find an alternative," Vernon said.
"So, what should I do next, Sir? Should I find an alternative divorce lawyer for Vincent?" Priscilla asked.
Vernon smirked, "Just play along. Call all of those lawyers you can find. You will all refuse to take Vincent's case. Because I already told them all and compensated them, they will refuse any request from Vincent Gray if they still value their career as a lawyer."
…
Priscilla shuddered when she saw Vernon's smirk.
This man was beyond evil. He was no different than Vincent. He was just the lesser evil because he had Chloe as his anchor.
If he didn't have Chloe, he would probably be ten times crazier and scarier than Vincent.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'I don't know how she could tame this man, but good for her,' Priscilla thought.
Though she hadn't met with Chloe after their last fight, Priscilla had made peace with herself.
She knew that she couldn't compete with Chloe Gray inside Vincent's heart because even she knew that Chloe was Vincent's true love. He never changed, but how he showed his love was twisted and pathetic.
Since she couldn't compete with Chloe, she decided to play along and BE her. She became a fake Chloe, and it worked really well!
Vincent still didn't love her, but at least he accepted her, which was the most important thing in Priscilla's life.
Even if she couldn't obtain his heart, at least she could get his body.
She would be Mrs. Gray no matter what.
And how about money?
Well, she was still working in the Gray company with a crazy high salary, enough to support herself and also Mr. Gray.
"Just wait for an hour and give him the bad news," Vernon instructed. "If he insists, tell him to call all those lawyers himself. **
I'm sure he will meet with the same response."
"I understand, Sir. "
**
Vincent walked back and forth as he was anxious about the news from Khloe. He wanted to know if she already got the best divorce lawyer for him.
So when Khloe called him, he picked it up immediately.
—
"How is it? Did you get the best divorce lawyer for me?" Vincent asked impatiently.
"I've called roughly thirty famous divorce lawyers, and they all refused Sir," Priscilla replied. "They said they refused to take your case because it's a losing game. They prefer to save their career."
