Chapter 59

After picking Gwyneth up from kindergarten, Victoria realized she couldn't put off talking to McNeil any longer.

If things kept going this way, their daughter would end up completely spoiled under his care.

Sliding into her car, Victoria called McNeil without hesitation.

At that moment, McNeil was still at Quantum Core Technologies, accompanying Violet. As the newly appointed assistant manager, Violet had insisted on holding a department meeting on her very first day. Even Ailie, the department manager, couldn't help but smirk at that.

Clearly, Violet came in ready to climb right over her. No surprise, considering she had some powerful backing.

Well, if Violet wanted to show off, Ailie wasn't about to back down.

She handed Violet a stack of proposals-documents she and Victoria had already discussed and that Curtis, the CEO, had signed off on.

Curtis happened to be present as well. If Violet wanted an audience, then fine-let everyone hear what she had to say.
