Priscilla should be happy that she had gotten rid of Chloe. She knew that.
But, there was something that kept bugging her…
"I know that you're texting him every day, right? Did you call him at night to beg that he won't sign up the divorce paper?" Priscilla accused.
Chloe was more disgusted than angry after hearing such an accusation because it was both absurd and gross!
"I am the one who filed for divorce. I'm still waiting for him to sign the paper. Why would I call him at night, begging him not to sign it? Make it make sense!" Chloe denied that ridiculous accusation. "Anyway, you're still with him, right? You should tell him to stop dilly-dallying and sign that paper already!"
Priscilla gritted her teeth, "That's what I've been doing! I keep telling him to sign it, so he can get away from a discarded bitch like you and marry me instead!"
"So… what's the problem here?" Chloe asked. Both of them were on the same page, after all.
"The problem is… he refused to sign it!" Priscilla said out loud. She was also frustrated by Vincent, who still hadn't touched that divorced paper. He could sign it in less than a second, but he didn't!

…
Honestly, it was also what made Chloe wonder about Vincent.
Chloe had already told him that she didn't need his money. She wouldn't take a penny as long as she got her freedom because she knew if she took any kind of divorce settlement, he would use that as a tool to control her again.
But now, they were at a dead end because Vincent refused to even sign that paper.
Priscilla was also disappointed with Vincent because other than refusing to sign that divorce paper, Vincent also reduced the frequency of intimate behavior.
Usually, Vincent could fuck her at least five times a week. But it had been reduced to twice a week for no reason.
So Priscilla accused that Chloe might have been trying to seduce him to win him back and become Mrs. Gray again!
"Well, it's not my problem that he hasn't signed the divorce paper. Try to convince him somehow, and you don't need to be hostile towards me. You can marry him if you want," Chloe said ruthlessly. But when she tried to pull her shopping cart, Priscilla suddenly grabbed the shopping cart, forbidding Chloe to escape her this time.
"Seriously, Priscilla, what do you want from me? Don't you see that I'm busy?!" Chloe yelled as she started to get frustrated. "Don't tell me that you've been stalking me all this time?"
"What the— EW, GROSS!" Priscilla retorted harshly. "I was told by Vincent to go to this market and something! Why would I stalk walking jello like you?"
"Then stop with this bullshit and release your grip already!" Chloe yelled again. The more she stayed with this woman, the more annoyed she got, mostly because Priscilla always reminded her of her failure to keep her ex-husband in check.
Priscilla wanted to bully this woman even more to vent her frustration with Vincent. But she didn't expect that Chloe would be a lot colder now. She only cried and trembled under Vincent's gaze most of the time.
'Is it because she is away from Vincent, so she is brave enough to talk back to me?!' Priscilla wondered. Chloe knew that Priscilla was doing this just to bully her.
It was always like that for the past four years. She was insulted, sometimes getting physically abused by Priscilla. She tried to fight back, but Vincent always told her to stop hitting her secretary because she was a valuable asset to his company.
So Chloe allowed this caked witch to bully her.
But now she dared to walk away from Vincent, so she wouldn't fear this witch any longer!
Chloe glanced at Priscilla's hands which were gripping the cart tightly. She scoffed, "By the way, I think you should ask your new billionaire husband for a ring because I don't see any in your hand right now, Mrs. Priscilla Gray."

Priscilla reacted by yanking the shopping cart, trying to somehow make Chloe lose her balance.
But Chloe released her grip on the cart right when Priscilla yanked it, so Priscilla was hit by the cart and lost her balance.
"AH!" Priscilla fell on her back, followed by the shopping cart overturned and falling on top of her body. "Ouch! Ah! Urgh!"
Priscilla was buried under the grocery, and Chloe shrugged, "Hope we'll never meet again, Priscilla. Go have fun with Vincent. I know that you're desperate for his commitment."
'Which will never happen,' Chloe thought, knowing well about Vincent's commitment issue.
"W—Wait! Urgh! I will report you to Vincent!"
"As if that'd work. Vincent and I are through, remember?" Chloe responded nonchalantly.
Priscilla struggled to get out of this pile of groceries. But before she could recover, Chloe had already left the grocery store. Perhaps going to another grocery store just to avoid her.
"Ugh, I should've asked her about the man who takes care of her now," Priscilla complained about the lost chance. She was too focused on bullying Chloe because that middle-aged woman was the source of her problem with Vincent.
Priscilla wanted her to be gone, so Vincent finally stopped delaying their marriage, so she could be Mrs. Priscilla Gray soon!
Priscilla knew from Vincent that Chloe had sold her body to a rich old man. Because she had paid the expensive tuition fee upfront, it was basically impossible knowing she had been a useless stay-at-home mom for ten years.
"I bet she is an old man's pet now. Maybe a man in his 80s. Who else would keep a woman like her anyway?" Priscilla said. "I need to report this to Vincent. He needs to know that washed-out bitch seems to live a normal life now. That shouldn't have happened!"
