[Warning: upsetting topic.]

"Thomas Davis groomed her since she was twelve years old."

"TWELVE YEARS OLD?!" Vernon's eyes widened out of shock. He reacted instantly because he didn't expect things to be so bad.

"And how old was he when he started grooming her?"

"In his mid-thirty, Sir," Diamond replied, which became another shock for Vernon.

"Does that mean--"

"Yes, Thomas Davis has been grooming this young lady for  about seven years. He was already married to Chelsea Davis when he groomed his current girlfriend. The age gap between them is about twenty years old, the girl will be twenty in December, while Thomas Davis will be forty in February next year."

"Holy shit..." Vernon couldn't help but curse when he heard the report. He didn't expect that seemingly unassuming guy he saw in a picture to be such a monster.

"How did they meet?"

"Online, Sir," Diamond replied. "The girlfriend was a child raised in a broken family. She has nobody that could make her feel safe, and Thomas Davis came to manipulate her into giving herself."

Diamond paused for a moment. To be honest, she was also upset by the news that she had to deliver.

She knew there were many terrible people out there, such as Vincent Gray. She knew how much of a monster he was just by seeing how he ruined her best friend-- Chloe's life.

But Thomas Davis was probably just as bad, or even worse than Vincent. Because he targeted and manipulated a vulnerable child who needed protection the most.

Vernon noticed that Diamond's breath was heaving. She must've been upset by this information as well.

Thus he allowed her to calm herself for a moment before telling her to continue.

"Sir, this bastard-- he robbed this girl's virginity when she was fifteen. He was thirty-five at that time."

...

Both Vernon and Diamond went silent after that revelation. The mood was low because they couldn't help but get angry at this bastard, Thomas Davis.

Vernon found it weird that he had this feeling in his heart. But he truly wanted to bring justice and crush this big stinky bug.

At first, he just wanted to stir the pot, indirectly revealing to Chelsea that her husband was cheating. He would be satisfied as he saw Chelsea's life come crumbling down, just like how she ruined Chloe's life by leeching on her for ten years straight and how she dared to make a scar on Chloe's beautiful face.

'But this is a whole different matter,' Vernon thought. 'I can't let this monster run around freely. Not when I know he might target another young girl.'

Vernon was thinking for a while before he decided, "Diamond, there is a change of plan."

"I'm all ears, Sir," Diamond replied solemnly. Though, she wouldn't lie that she felt excited in her heart. She just couldn't wait to crush this monster who dared to prey on a naive little girl.

"At first, I thought I would just stir the pot to ruin Chelsea's marriage life. But when I got this new information about Thomas Davis, I think I will ruin both of them-- in a different manner."

Vernon went silent for a moment, tapping the desk with his fingers before he gave an order;

"I will think of a way to throw this man to prison. Don't worry, pedophiles got the worst treatment by everyone in the prison," Vernon said. "But for now, we should twist the way I can ruin their marriage."

"Diamond, call my agent and prepare an attack against Chelsea Davis. Stalk her for a few days, and then attack her at night," Vernon said. "Don't kill her, nor harm her in a terrible way. I don't want Chloe to sympathize and try to reach out to her sister."

"Then what kind of attack do you want us to do, Sir?" Diamond asked. She was actually expecting Mr. Phoenix Gray to hurt this woman badly. "Do you have a soft spot on her now, Sir?"

​ "Soft spot? Pfft... HAHAHA!" Vernon's laugh filled the room. He kept laughing until there was a drop of tear squeezed at the edge of his eye.

He laughed as if he had just heard the funniest joke ever.

Then the laugh suddenly stopped. Vernon suddenly glared at Diamond with his hawk gaze that made her gulp out of fear.

"S--Sir?"

"Don't you ever dare asking that stupid question again," Vernon said coldly. "I have no sympathy for the woman who hurt my Chloe. That bitch deserves all the pain I will inflict on her after what she has done to Chloe for the past ten years."

"She constantly guilt tripped Chloe and forced her to send even more money to them. Do you know what that means?"

Diamond shook her head in response.

"That means for each time Chloe begged Vincent to give her family more money, she would face so much abuse-- both physical and verbal abuse. She endured everything just so her family could have a better life."

"But that 'family' of hers took advantage and constantly guilted her," Vernon said. "They don't have an ounce of sympathy or pity for Chloe, so I will have none of that for them as well."

"Chloe is far too kind to punish her family, so I will be the one who punishes them instead."

Diamond swallowed her saliva twice. She knew that her boss' hatred wasn't aimed at her. But she witnessed how all the hatred and viciousness emanated in his eyes.

He was not playing this time. There was no mercy for Chloe's family and the rest of the people who hurt her.

Diamond had mixed feelings about this.

She was happy that her boss loved her best friend so much that he would flip his world upside down for her.

But at the same time...

What if Chloe knew about everything?

What would they do if Chloe found out about this? Surely she wouldn't be happy with how vicious Vernon's method was.

She forgave people easily. It wouldn't be surprising if Chloe forgave her family with a simple guilt trip.
