Chapter 29

The Miller family estate-a grand villa where Victoria's late mother once lived with Simms-sat in the heart of Starfall City's most exclusive neighborhood.

Here, the mansions easily ran into eight figures. Victoria herself had only moved out after marrying McNeil; her father, cold and methodical, sent every last trace of her mother's belongings off to the auction house. After her bitter falling out with Simms, Victoria had never looked back.

So when the household staff spotted Victoria stepping out of a sleek black SUV at the front gate, their shock was impossible to hide.

The butler hurried out, signaling for someone to open the gates while reaching for his phone to call Simms.

"Miss Victoria? Is that really you?"

Daniel, the butler, came forward to greet her. She recognized him instantly-her father's old chauffeur. It had been years, and now he was running the place.

Daniel chuckled awkwardly. "Of course not, Miss Victoria. I just meant, if you'd let us know, I would have come to collect you myself."
