Vincent's heartbeat skipped for a second, and his jaw dropped as he could not comprehend what he had heard just now.
He pressed play again and skipped right at the end to make sure he heard it right.
-
"I AM THE FUTURE WIFE OF VINCENT GRAY! DO YOU THINK I CAN'T PAY YOU? I CAN FUCKING BUY YOUR LIFE, YOU UNGRATEFUL PIECE OF SHIT!"
-
Vincent gritted his teeth. His whole body was shaking out of fury when he heard that. He clenched his phone before smashing it to the floor.
"THAT BITCH!" Vincent yelled as he vented out his anger. "She fucking dare to mention my name in public! Does she not realize how fatal that is?"
"I AM VINCENT GRAY, DO YOU NOT REALIZE HOW HEAVY THAT NAME IS?!"
Vincent's voice echoed inside his office. All his good mood when staring at Chloe disappeared instantly, replaced by rage because Chelsea was stupid enough to say his name when she was being recorded by everyone.
"Fuck! I've been too lenient on that ugly bitch! I've been trying to be kind to her because I thought she could help me to find Chloe's whereabouts!" Vincent clenched his fist until his whole body shook, and his face was so red out of anger. He kicked the coffee table in front of him until it flipped. He then started thrashing his office, smashing and kicking anything he could see.
"I WILL KILL THAT BITCH!"
He had never been enraged by a woman before. Even Chloe wasn't stupid enough to use his name in public, knowing the repercussions, and she was the ACTUAL Mrs. Gray, the woman who actually had all the right to mention it.
Vincent's chest rose up and down as he looked around his surroundings. His office had been destroyed, "Look at what that ugly woman did to me. I can't even control my anger because of her."
Vincent felt like a disgrace as he saw his reflection in the wall mirror in his office. He looked unsightly, with his neatly-combed hair ruffled, his usually cold face that had turned red with rage, and his eyes that looked crazy. He was embarrassed because he had lost control over that insignificant woman.
Thus, he took a deep breath and then picked up his phone from the floor.
He checked the video again and then checked the hashtag.
#VincentGrayWife
#VincentFutureWife
#VincentandJoker
#JokerLady
And he also read the comments below the video.
There were so many people laughing at him. They said he had bad taste because he'd marry a crazy, ugly female joker. They also started questioning whether the ever-loyal and loving Vincent Gray they knew all this time was just a farce because there might be a chance of him cheating on his own wife.
Vincent gritted his teeth as he held himself so he wouldn't lash out again. He didn't like to get emotional over a woman except for his wife.
He continued reading the comments despite his ever-growing rage and then stumbled upon one comment that almost made him explode for the second time.
-
'Maybe both of them are his mistresses. Maybe he has a lot of women out there! I bet he cheats a lot with so many women, and the only reason why he doesn't allow anyone to see his wife and daughter, is because they already left him long ago!'
-
"HOW DARE YOU! CHLOE WILL NEVER DARE TO LEAVE ME FOR LONG! SHE WILL COME CRAWLING BACK AND BEGGING TO BE SPARED!"
He couldn't handle it anymore. He wasn't used to getting slandered or gossiped about in a bad way by people.
He always had a good image that he carefully maintained for the public all this time. Everything was ruined just because that Joker lady dared to mention him during her fight as if he was her savior.
Thus, Vincent quickly searched through his contact and called Secretary Maria.
It only took one beep before Maria picked it up.
-
"Do you need something, Sir?" Secretary Maria asked.
"Where is the PR team?" Vincent asked. "You told me that they're doing the best they could to handle this mess."
The old secretary was relieved because it seemed that her boss already saw the full video. She actually expected Vincent to simply explode in front of her. But he had that long thirty-minute pause, staring at the phone screen dazedly, and then another hour until he finally called her and addressed the problem.
She wondered if he saw something he liked in that video because he had a soft gaze when he watched it.
'Could it be that he actually fell in love with Chelsea?' Maria pondered. 'But I don't think Vincent is blind enough to like that ugly woman.'
"Secretary Maria?" Vincent called her.
"Yes, Sir. The PR team is doing their best for damage control. They have been trying to delete every video about this problem on the internet, but some are just impossible to do because they are already too popular, and everyone is sharing them."
"The best thing the PR team can do right now is to temporarily stop all kinds of gossip media to cover this problem. So it won't spread even further," Secretary Maria explained.
"YOU—BUNCH OF USELESS FUCKS!" Vincent snapped. "I PAID ALL OF YOU FOR NOTHING!"
Secretary Maria wasn't fazed by her boss' anger. It was natural for him to get angry over this, "I'm sorry that I can't do much about this, Sir. It went viral in less than six hours, and the PR team is scrambling to do something about this. We're still waiting for your command as well."
Vincent clicked his tongue. As much as he wanted to keep yelling at her, he knew that wouldn't change a thing. So he commanded, "Block off all the official media that wants to cover this. Try calling the head director of Twitter to delete that trending video!"
"We have done those, Sir. Twitter already deleted the trending video, but each time someone uploads it, it will explode again and again and it only makes people grow suspicious because it keeps getting taken down, making it a futile effort."
