"Oh, about that woman before, she is brazed enough to glare at you, do you know her?"
"… Her name is Priscilla. She is my secretary," Vincent replied.
"Secretary? A secretary is bold enough to glare at you like that? Big brother, you have been too soft on her," Vernon said. He had a thin smile as he added, "I never know that you have a weak spot for your secretary."
"No, she is just one of that side piece. I just tolerate her a bit more because she is my current condom," Vincent said.
"Hahaha! Okay, okay, I didn't know she was like that," Vernon said. They had a tacit understanding of what 'condom' meant.
It wasn't about a real condom. When Vincent said so, it meant that woman was the woman he regularly had sex with, just to ensure he didn't catch STD. Vincent learned this from his dad. Vincent naturally told Vernon about it when he was only nine years old in such an unnecessary detail.
Vincent looked at his little brother, who was smirking, "Don't laugh at me. You have a lot more condoms than me."
Vernon only snickered mischievously as he saw his big brother get more irritated by his teasing.
"How long have you been using her?" Vernon asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Four years."
"Four years?!" Vernon's eyes widened. "Wow, brother, I didn't know you're so loyal even to your side piece."
"I just don't have time to find another one. Though I've been thinking about ditching her and finding another one, she started demanding more and more until she asked me to marry her. That's disgusting."
"Ohh? Then why don't you marry her, big brother?"
"Are you crazy? I am already married!" Vincent raised his voice. He found Vernon's question to be ridiculous.
Vernon laughed low, "Hahaha…. Does sister-in-law know about this side piece of yours in general?"
"Of course, she knows. She knows everyone I fucked. It's not that big of a deal," Vincent snorted.
"Eh~ but it looks like a big deal to me, brother. I mean, sister-in-law left, right? That means she must've been sad because of you fucking random woman outside," Vernon said. Of course, he had no intention of fixing the relationship between these two. He just found this amusing.
"Hmph, she is just an ungrateful bitch. I gave her everything and allowed her to live as my wife. But she still demands divorce or whatever."
"And you won't divorce her? I thought you didn't like her anymore."
Vincent went silent immediately. His expression turned stern as if he was holding anger. He glared at his little brother, but Vernon just shrugged without caring, "Don't be too angry, brother. I was just asking."
Vincent looked away, and his seat turned in the other direction. He was watching the view of a skyscraper and asked Vernon, "Do you not remember what I taught you when I was a kid?"
"I remember, big brother. Aren't you who brought me to watch dad fucking mom's sister while mom was busy adorning her new jewelry in the next room? It's a surreal experience for me, especially since you showed it to me when I was only ten years old," Vernon said. He was too disgusted to call his mom's sister 'aunt' that bitch didn't deserve that title.
"Indeed, I just want you to remember what our father said back then," Vincent said. "All that women love is money. Just give them money, and they will shut the hell up. It doesn't matter if you cheat on them or hit them once or twice. Just stuff them with money, and everything will be alright."
"And it works with mom, right?" Vernon asked. "Oh, and the other women that fucked with dad."
"It works for us too. Do you think those women will stay with us if we're not from the Gray family?" Vincent asked.
Vernon wanted to refute that. He got a lot of women solely by using his charm and looks while studying in Europe. He never told anyone that he was from the Gray family.
In fact, he had another surname that he adapted, though he didn't want to mention it.
Vernon stayed silent as he listened to his big brother.
"Women are nothing but a headache, especially when they start asking for too much. You need to put them in their place," Vincent said.

…
Vincent went silent for a while and added, "If you found a woman like her, ditch her. She is not worth your time. She will act sweet and innocent, but she is just another ungrateful bitch. Keep that in mind, Vernon. I've lived with her for ten years straight, not counting the dating stage. I know her."
Vernon smiled thin. Of course, his big brother knew about Chloe better than he. After all, they dated and married for fifteen years combined.
"I will keep it in mind, brother."
"Good, I just don't want you to get a bad influence," Vincent said. "Enough talking about her. I will find that bitch and drag her back to where she belongs."
Vincent finally turned his chair towards Vernon again and faced his little brother, "Now, since you're here, let's talk about business. I am interested in your growing company."
"And you want to expand the business? I thought Gray family already has everything in its hand."
"I do, but some of the fields can be too difficult to expand more without the help of an expert. I found that you're an expert in entertainment and investment, right, little bro?"
"Indeed, I am. I build my fortune through investment, stock trade, and joining the entertainment industry. My company has many branches in the entertainment, we have talent agency down to high-quality production house."
"Good, because I am interested in both. We will work together, Lil bro. Don't worry, you're my little brother. Of course, I will give you a good contract to benefit us both."
'I got you, big brother,' Vernon said in his heart.
He smiled kindly and nodded, "I'd love to, brother. "
