The court wasn't as crowded as Vernon and Chloe expected, which was great because Vernon tried his best to conceal the court event today so that the public wouldn't know about Vincent and Chloe's divorce court.

He didn't want the public to think that Chloe was a mere abused lady who ran away. He wanted her to be glamorous. He wanted her to be remembered by the public as Vernon Phoenix Gray's wife instead of Vincent Gray's abused ex-wife.

He parked his car and sat in silence for a while, staring at the court. Vernon looked at Chloe, "Don't worry about anything, my Love. I'm with you. I will make sure everything runs smoothly today."

Chloe smiled. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips and said, "I have no worry. I know that I will be safe when I'm with you."

Thus, Chloe and Vernon left their car and held hands as they walked into the court building together.

They were greeted by Meyer and Diamond, who were already waiting inside the main lobby.

Diamond looked proper as always, so she was surprised when he saw Chloe in a formal suit and skirt.

"Gurl, you look so good wearing this kind of outfit! Wait, maybe I should call you Mrs. Phoenix Gray for now since you look all prim and proper," Diamond joked while hugging Chloe for a moment. She did this to make things less stressful because she knew that Chloe must've been extremely stressed and nervous right now.

Chloe giggled and replied, "You can call me that later when I finally get married. Besides, I know you've wanted to wear that purple dress for my wedding."

"Hihi, I can't wait, Gurl," Diamond giggled with her. "That poor dress has been left untouched for a while. That dress needs its debut!"

Vernon momentarily allowed Chloe to joke around with Diamond and asked Meyer, "Where is the waiting room that I asked before?"

"You need to go to the fifth floor, Sir. Diamond and I will show you the way," Meyer replied.

"How about that bastard? Is he already in that room?" Vernon asked again, to which Meyer replied with a nod.

"Alright then, let's go."
