Chapter 30

"Give me the whole second floor, will you? Is Mom's old study still there?"

Victoria didn't respond to Simms-nor did she care to.

This was her personal business, and she had no intention of discussing it with Simms.

Judging by Victoria's demeanor, she was settling in for the long haul. But how could that be allowed?

"I've already moved some of my things back. In a couple of days, could you find a few people to help me with the rest? This is my home-I don't see any problem with me coming back."

Simms fell silent.

The study was right next to the bedroom. Victoria stepped in, powered up her laptop, and checked if any responses had come in to her job applications.
