Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

Chapter 648 648





"So, Ma'am, can you call Madam Gray right now? It's the simplest method of verification," Officer Derek asked confidently, knowing the old woman before him could not do that. "It shouldn't be a difficult thing to do if you're really the subordinate sent by Mr. Vincent Gray and his wife."

"Madam Gray is very shy, she always refuses to let anyone see her face, and my boss is also a very possessive man who won't allow anyone to see his wife's face," Maria said. "It is impossible for me to do so, Officer."

"Then unfortunately, I cannot bring the boys here, Ma'am," Officer Derek replied firmly. 

Maria began to lose her patience with this Officer. He was so persistent, and he was actually able to push her to the edge. Thus, unable to continue with this meaningless debate resulting in her loss, she grabbed her bag and stood up, "I think we're done with the conversation, Officer."

"I think so too, Ma'am," Officer Derek said, but he didn't get up to escort her out. He pointed at the door and said," The exit is over there."

Maria gritted her teeth but tried to be as calm as possible, "You will regret this, Officer Derek. Wait until I tell my boss about this, Mr. Vincent Gray is not something you can mess with."

"Then please send my apology to him because I'm just doing my job being a cop here, Ma'am," Officer Derek said calmly. "I'm sure the benevolent Mr. Vincent Gray won't do anything to me."

Maria was finally pushed to the edge. He stomped her heels as she left his office and slammed the door behind her.

Officer Derek stared at the door for a while, and he let out a relieved sigh, "Mrs. Chloe Gray is right, Vincent Gray's true face must be very ugly."

Maria stomped her way to her car. This was the first time someone other than Vaughn and Vincent dared to beat her in an argument.

Truthfully, she already got the news from her Informant that a woman with Chloe Gray's-like appearance was the one who took the children. But Maria wasn't 100% sure it was the real Chloe or someone from foster care which happened to look like her. She couldn't believe that because Chloe was still in hiding. Chloe was a very timid lady who didn't even dare to raise her head in front of Vincent, let alone come out to the public, especially the NYPD.

So Maria came to meet the Officer who handled the case to ask about the boys. She thought that he'd simply say Chloe was the one who took the boys to confirm the information from one of Vincent's spies. 

But no, he said the boys were the foster care, which was a lot more logical in Maria's head, because how could the Officer get Chloe's contact when she had been in hiding for a while? It was simply unthinkable.

So she went along with the conversation, thinking she could somehow retrieve the boys from foster care and destroy the evidence by sending them somewhere far away. After all, she wasn't fond of killing children.

But that Officer turned out to be very difficult to reason with, and now she was facing a dead end.

"Damn it, I don't know why, but I feel like I am the one who gets played in here," Maria cursed. She was infuriated because she got beaten by a mere police officer. 

"What should I do now to find Chloe or those boys? That man refused to give me the identity, and nobody except him knows the boys' whereabouts," Maria wondered. "Should I just use Vincent's men to force that Officer to bring the boys to me? Hm… no, I shouldn't. He's not a man I could mess up with, the police department is too dangerous and it might damage Vincent's reputation."

"So my only choice right now is to find Chloe somehow. I can force her to bring the boys from the foster care, so those boys won't be able to say anything during Chelsea's trial."

Maria was trying to find another way to catch Chloe. So she called her Informant from the police department and asked,

"How about Judith Carlson's corpse? Where did you guys put her corpse? Or did you guys already bury her?"

"No, Ma'am. Her corpse is put in the morgue not far from the police department building after an autopsy. The hospital is waiting for Judith's family member to retrieve her," the Informant said. "Ma'am, why are you asking for this? I thought I already told you that Chloe was the one who retrieved the boys."

"You're mistaken," Maria denied. "There is no way for Officer Derek to get Chloe's contact. She's been hiding for so long and nobody could contact her."

The Informant was confused by that statement. He was 100% sure it was Chloe who retrieved the boys, but at the same time, he also couldn't find a good explanation for how Officer Derek got Chloe's contact.

"Then what are you going to do next, Ma'am?" The Informant asked on the phone.

"I will ambush Chloe in the hospital. She might not be able to go to the police station to meet those boys because she's too scared, and it's too risky to bring the boys with her. She's a stupid, timid woman, not a risk-taker," Maria said. "But I'm pretty sure she still has some good in her. After hearing about the murder soon, she'd probably ask her powerful man to let her visit the morgue to see her mother's corpse."

"Then how about the Child Protection Service, Ma'am. Sooner or later, the CPS will be searching for those boys too. Why don't you just wait and see, Officer Derek will not be able to lie in front of the CPS," the Informant said, still thinking that Chloe was the one who took the boys even though it was hard to believe.

"We don't have that much time, you idiot," Maria scolded. "By next week, those boys might be interviewed by some reporters, and they might say something that will ruin Mr. Gray's image!"
