The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 79

Marcus hadn't really wanted to trouble Victoria-after all, Max had already told her about the game.

As soon as Victoria heard the details, she realized, Isn't this the same racing game Gwyneth's been obsessed with these last few days?

"Alright, Max, it's just a game. But how about this-later, your uncle will take you to see some real race cars."

She glanced at the racing app on her phone. "Want me to show you a few tricks, kiddo?"

Victoria gave Max an encouraging wink.

Marcus shot Victoria a look. "He's just in a mood. Don't let it bother you."

Victoria smiled easily. "No worries. Some friends of mine actually helped develop this game years ago. Plus, I'm not too bad at this sort of thing-I might even be able to help Max pull off a win."

Before she got married, Victoria had known all sorts of tech and finance people, and they still kept in touch.

"Okay!" Max replied, a spark of hope in his eyes. At this point, he'd try anything if it meant beating Gwyneth.

The server had just brought out the soup base, and the rest of the hotpot ingredients were still being prepared, so Victoria took the opportunity to slide into the seat next to Max and focus on teaching him the game.

Max, being a bright kid, picked things up quickly-especially with Victoria's clear guidance.
