The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 51

Jack had just received notice that morning: a new recruit from Northriver University's graduate finance program would be parachuting straight into their company.

Rumor had it she had a powerful background—definitely not Victoria, Jack thought.

The resume Victoria had submitted showed she only had an undergraduate degree from Northriver University. Jack seriously doubted credentials like that could land her the job as Mr. Garcia's assistant.

But since Mr. Garcia had specifically requested her, Jack figured he'd just watch from the sidelines and see what happened.

Word spread quickly through the office. For someone as strict as Mr. Garcia to hire an assistant with no reputation or connections, it was obvious to anyone with half a brain what must be going on between him and Victoria.

"Hah."

Ailie let out a cold laugh. If anyone in Starfall City deserved the title of "finance prodigy," it was Victoria-no question about it.

"Who did HR say the finance prodigy is?" Ailie pressed.

Jack shrugged. "Some woman with the last name Marchand. Heard her boyfriend's the CEO of The Langford Group."
