250: Chapter 250

Chapter 250

It was only six-thirty in the morning, and Diamond had already parked her car not far from the school gate.  1

Just like the instruction that Diamond got from Mr. Phoenix Gray, she was tasked to investigate and find the perpetrator behind the attack that hurt her homegirl, Chloe. 

She had never done this before and certainly wouldn't do this kind of unnecessary shit if it wasn't for Chloe. The amount of effort she put into her homegirl was immeasurable.

"I'll be mad if she doesn't let me become her bridesmaid when she marries Vernon later," Diamond complained. She was already scrolling through an online catalog, thinking of a perfect bridesmaid dress for the event.

It was ridiculous to be this excited over someone, but Diamond simply felt like she had some kind of accomplishment just to see Chloe smiling and thanking her for the hard work she did. 

'I've never been this invested and protective over someone. But I guess, home girl just gives off that aura to make you feel like you have to protect her,' Diamond thought. 

"Okay, Diamond, you can do this. Go find that culprit, and let your boss handle the rest," Diamond encouraged herself. 

She kept staring at the school gate and realized that she might be too early today because even the school guard and janitor were nowhere to be found at this hour. 

Just like what Vernon said before, she couldn't directly ask the school staff, the headmaster, about any kind of confrontation regarding Chloe.

Because her boss warned her that this school was indirectly owned by Vincent as the new patriarch of the Gray family after Vaughn's death, even the land was owned by them.

So if Diamond inquired about Chloe to the headmaster, she would definitely snitch on them and tell Vincent about it. 

So her only way to inquire about any information was from the janitor or school guard. After all, they were the ones who stayed near the gate, so if there was a fight occurring, they must've known about it first. 

Diamond waited thirty minutes more until it was seven o'clock, and the school guard finally opened the gate. 

"There he is—" Diamond was about to get out of the car and ask the school guard a few things, but before she could open the door, another car came to the driveway and stopped right in front of the gate. 

Diamond's heart skipped for a second when she quickly noticed the car and the plate number. 

"Oh shit, why is she so early?" Diamond asked herself. She saw Chloe coming out of the car with her daughter— Mackenzie. 

She guided Mackie until the little girl entered the school gate and went to the school's main building.

She continued observing and noticed that Chloe smiled at the school guard and chatted a little before returning to her car and driving away. 

After making sure that Chloe was out of her sight, Diamond checked her watch and was unable to fathom Chloe's action.

"It's still seven in the morning. Isn't that way too early to drop her daughter to school? I thought the class starts at around eight-thirty here," Diamond wondered. 

Amidst her confusion, she saw the school guard was about to return to his post, so Diamond quickly left her car and approached him. 

The school guard was a middle-aged, stout man with a thick beard and mustache. He was a bit short, but with his heavy build, he seemed to be someone capable of doing his job. 

The security guard was about to return to his post when his eyes darted at a beautiful woman walking toward him. He was stunned because this woman seemed too young to be a mother of an elementary student. 

Diamond stood in front of the security guard and leaned a little, "Excuse me, you're the security guard of this school right?"

"Y—Yes, I am," the school guard said hesitatingly. "Can I help you with something, Miss, and may I know your name first?"

"Hmm… my name is Priscilla, I'm a guardian of one student here," Diamond lied through her teeth, taking the name of that bitch secretary of Vincent Gray. 

"N—Nice to meet you, Miss. My name is Gustaff," Gustaff, the security guard introduced himself nervously. "May I help you with something?"

"Yes, I just need a little information. It's about a woman named Chloe. Chloe Gray."

"Ah!" the school guard made a surprised expression. "Lady Gray had just left a few minutes ago, Miss. Is there something wrong with her?"

"Yes, I got the news that she got a scar on her cheek after a fight," Diamond bluffed her way through. "And the news told me that Chloe had a fight here, is that correct?"

Of course, Diamond was just bluffing, she had zero information about Chloe, but it was a good way to fool the school guard and bait her.

"That—" the school guard's eyes widened when he was confronted with a simple question, which indirectly told everything about it.

"So there is a fight here between Chloe and someone else, huh?" Diamond concluded that she had hit the jackpot based on his reaction. 

The school guard was thinking about lying by simply telling this beautiful woman there was no such fight. 

But this woman wasn't only beautiful, but she also had a sharp mind. So there was no way he could fool her. 

"M—Miss, please don't tell anyone about it I will get fired if the headmaster knows that I didn't try to separate them," Gustaff said. "I wasn't in the scene because I was busy somewhere else, so I only heard about the fight from a janitor who happens to be near the gate when it happened."

"Then, can you tell me what's the fight all about?" Diamond asked.

Gustaff was scared that he might get fired for being sloppy. But he also didn't want to tell this woman without a reward.

After all, if he were fired because of this problem, he had to get something out of it, right? 

Gustaff stared at the young woman's body from head to toe. His eyes started to get clouded with lust, "Miss, it's risky for me to tell you about it, but I can do it for an exchange."
