Chapter 778 Chapter 778
The judge's last advice made Vincent feel like thunder had struck down upon him.
She got up from her seat and walked out of the courtroom as she had no more time to listen to the bullshit spouted by that crazy misogynist.
"Wait! Your Honor—Judge—WAIT!" Vincent wanted to chase the judge because he still wanted to fight for visitation rights. He had to find a way to trap Chloe back into his arms in any way possible!
Unfortunately, right before he could reach the judge, the officers quickly caught his arms, and thus the judge left the courtroom, cementing Vincent's fate as he would never be able to get Chloe back.
Vincent began to yell out of frustration at the judge who had left, "YOU FUCKING CUNT! HOW DARE YOU RUIN MY LIFE LIKE THIS?! DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!" Vincent's voice echoed inside the courtroom, everyone was shocked by his curses, but nobody dared to do anything as they saw Vincent as a dangerous madman right now.
Vincent realized he was done for, but the rage accumulated in his heart had yet to die out.
He turned his head and glared at Chloe, still wiping her tears with her sleeve.
All the pain and suffering she experienced for ten years was finally over. She could finally live a good life without hiding. She was finally free from the monster.
She raised her head as she felt the glare that pierced through her body, then she flinched when she saw the murderous aura coming from Vincent.
She took a step back out of reflex as Vincent glared at her, and then his eyes went down to check on her belly.
He seemed to have guessed that Chloe must've been pregnant with that bastard's child. So if he couldn't kill Chloe, Vernon, or Mackenzie, the least he could do was avenge his pain to that baby.
"LET ME GO! UGH! LET ME GO!" Vincent began to struggle like a madman and regained monstrous strength for a while. He struggled so much that the two officers had difficulty handling him.
"Vincent Gray! Stay still!" One of them yelled to no avail.
Vincent broke free from the officers' restraint and rushed towards Chloe. Since his hand was still tied, he rushed like a raging bull, ready to headbutt Chloe's baby bump.
"WATCH OUT!"
Chloe gasped when she heard someone screaming at her. She wasn't fast enough to dodge, so she turned around instead, dedicated to saving her baby, even if she had to break her back.
Vincent almost reached Chloe when someone stepped in and punched him in the temple.
SLAM!
"ARRGH!"
The punch was so powerful that Vincent was slammed to the ground until he instantly lost consciousness.
Everyone in the courtroom fell into deafening silence. They were still trying to process what just happened.
Vernon's chest heaved as he dashed, jumped straight to the podium, and punched Vincent's head before he could touch Chloe.
He looked at Vincent, who had lost consciousness, and then rushed to hug his beloved, "Chloe!"
Chloe opened her eyes when she could feel the familiar embrace of her man. She looked up and saw Vernon's worried face, "Are you alright?"
Chloe stared at Vernon's eyes full for at least a whole minute before she nodded, "Please take me out of here. I can't even look at him anymore."
Vernon peeked at Vincent's condition. After getting hit hard in the head, he was unconscious, and the officers were trying to carry him out of the courtroom.
Vernon knew he might have to deal with some paperwork for this, but that didn't matter. Chloe and their baby were more important than just a few hassles.
"Okay, let's go home. I will let Diamond handle the rest," Vernon said.
Chloe tried to walk, but her knees wobbled. She was still so shocked that she had lost her strength, so Vernon quickly helped by carrying her in his arms.
Everyone watched as Chloe and Vernon walked out of the courtroom.
Vernon thought he had handled the reporter's problem, so they wouldn't bother Chloe after the trial ended. They weren't allowed to enter the courtroom, but they had been waiting outside the court just to get a slice of the scandalous trial between Chloe and Vincent Gray.
Chloe was caught off guard when the blitz of the camera blinded her. She quickly buried her face into Vernon's chest, but Vernon didn't even seem surprised by the reporters.
"Mr. Phoenix Gray, can you tell us what happened inside the courtroom?"
"Mr. Phoenix Gray, is it true that you had an affair with Mrs. Chloe when she was still with Vincent Gray?"
"How about the divorce verdict, Sir? Can you share with us about the final verdict?"
Vernon had guessed that Vincent must be the one who invited these reporters. He probably thought that he would get the visitation right and thus painted Chloe as an evil woman who tried to stop him from seeing his daughter.
'And it backfires,' Vernon thought. 'Because I will be the one who stirs the public opinion now.'
"The trial went well. Vincent Gray and Chloe Gray have been granted a divorce. Vincent Gray doesn't need to pay for child support, and there is no divorce settlement. This is requested by Chloe herself."
"The custody of their child naturally falls into Chloe's hand, but the court has denied Vincent visitation rights. He no longer has the right to contact his daughter until she is eighteen."
The reporters were all shocked by the revelation. Visitation right was mandatory after a divorce, but if someone got denied visitation rights, that meant he or she had a problem that might harm the child.
Vernon grinned, knowing that the reporters would eventually find their own way to make a sensational gossip about the denied visitation right.
Thus, they came for their final and most important question, "Mr. Phoenix Gray, what is your relationship with the woman in your arms? Did you have an affair with Mrs. Chloe Gray beforehand?"
