Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother-338 Chapter 338

Maria drove into the coffee shop parking lot after a twenty-minute drive from the school gate.

Chloe tailed and parked her car right beside the old hag. Unlike Maria, who exited her car without a second thought, Chloe's eyes scanned the area from her windshield. She wanted to see if there was anything suspicious around the coffee shop, especially if there was someone else present around her.

But there didn't seem to be anything suspicious.

It was a regular coffee shop, and no other car was parked. So, Chloe knew that she and Maria were the only customers this morning.

"This place is so… quiet…." Chloe murmured. "Is it really okay for me to come in?"

She was scared that something had been planned to trap her. After all, she knew how crazy Vincent could be.

But she didn't have time to rethink her decision, because Maria knocked on the window a few times until Chloe slid the window down.

"Let's go in, Mrs. Gray," Maria said.

Chloe quickly glanced at the coffee shop building and pointed at one table on the coffee shop's patio, "I think we can have a coffee outside. The air is nice this morning."

The old Maria went silent, but Chloe noticed a glint of hostility in her eyes as if she had prepared something had Chloe agreed to enter the coffee shop building.

"Alright, Mrs. Gray, we will sit there and have a little chat."

Maria walked first and sat at the table that Chloe pointed to. She crossed her arms and tapped the ground with her heels impatiently as she waited for Chloe to join in.

She seemed to be more pissed off than before, which was a sign that Chloe had made the right decision not to enter the building.

Chloe sat on the opposite chair, directly facing the old hag. She tried to act natural, but both of them knew that Chloe was on full guard in front of Maria.

They stared at each other silently until the old hag got up and said, "We need to order something first, Mrs. Gray. Let me order the coffee for you. What do you want?" 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

Chloe wanted to say she didn't want a drink because who knew that Maria might've planned to spike her drink with something.

But she had to play along, so she replied, "A hot americano. Please make it boiling hot, the air is a bit chilly today."

"… Understood, Mrs. Gray."

Chloe sat alone, waiting for Maria to return with her coffee.

Her eyes continuously observed her surroundings, afraid she might get caught from behind and kidnapped by Vincent and his cronies.

She knew it was mostly her exaggerated imagination, but Vincent had done so much crazy stuff in the past that anything became possible in his hand at this point. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

But the more she observed, the more she realized that she was just being paranoid.

Because she was still the only customer in this coffee shop, and there was no sign of anything suspicious around her.

'Am I just being too paranoid right now?' Chloe pondered. 'My mind's telling me that I shouldn't be too paranoid of that old hag. But my instinct told me otherwise….'

Since her instinct told her meeting Maria was a big mistake, Chloe's feet got antsy, and paranoia started eating her up. She wanted to get up and leave the fuck away, making sure to distance herself from that wretched old hag.

But before she could leave, Maria opened the door with two glasses of coffee in her hands.

"Here's your boiling hot coffee, Mrs. Gray," Maria said.

Chloe stared at the hot coffee on the table. The fumes were visible with naked eyes, and the strong aroma of coffee wafted right under Chloe's nose.

Maria sat on her seat again. She sipped her coffee casually and said, "You should drink your coffee, Mrs. Gray."

"No thanks, it's still boiling hot. I'll wait," Chloe refused with a perfect reason.

Again, Maria's expression tightened when Chloe refused. The old hag tried to make it as subtle as possible, but Chloe was in full guard right now, she observed Maria's movement, and when she noticed the change of expression, she realized that her drink wasn't just a regular coffee.

'Did she spike it with a drug? I don't know what this old hag is planning. But I still have to be very careful,' Chloe thought.

After getting the coffee problem solved. Chloe got slightly more relaxed and went straight to the point, "Now, can we start discussing Vincent's slander towards me?"

…

Maria nodded in response. She leaned forward and opened the conversation, "First, I'd like you to tell me why you ran away from home with your daughter. Mrs. Gray. What you've done is very rash and irrational, you know that?"

"Rash and irrational? I think both of us know that Vincent is the most irrational man ever," Chloe replied coldly. Her heart was burning whenever she had to talk about Vincent.

But she had to defend herself, especially when Vincent tried to slander her even though they both knew who the fuck was, a cheating bastard in their relationship!

"He constantly cheats, and he even slept with a random woman right in front of your eyes, Secretary Maria, and he did it even before Mackie was born!"

…

Of course, Maria knew that Vincent Gray was a serial cheater.

In fact, she knew well that Vincent would eventually cheat after he got married. It was in his blood.

Mr. Vaughn Gray also cheated, and their pattern was very similar. They cheated early, and it became a bad habit that the late Vaughn Gray couldn't stop.

Thus, instead of fighting his urge, he embraced it and fucked all kinds of women in his life.

But that wasn't important in Maria's eyes.

All she wanted to do was persevere in the company she had dedicated her life into for the past decades, so she had to do everything she could, including setting up a trap for this poor woman sitting in front of her.
