Vernon hung up the call after he said what he needed to say. He chuckled in mirth as he could clearly hear the desperation in Chloe's voice.
"Of course, she would. Since I blocked all her way out," Vernon said as he drank his whiskey. He had no remorse for what he did, "After all, I've always wanted to know the taste of a shy and modest woman like her."
Vernon was the one who did everything, including threatening those executives to reject Chloe's job application. He might not be as powerful as Vincent— at least not now.
But he was powerful enough to pull some strings, of course.
Vernon called another number, and after a few beeps, the call was connected.
—
"Hello, Vernon?"
"Ah, big brother," Vernon said. "I called just to tell you that I've rejected my sister-in-law's request."
"Really? Did she finally called you out of desperation?" Vincent asked.
"Yes,"
"And you refused to give her a job, right?"
"I don't want to offend you, big brother," Vernon replied.
