The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 101

Victoria suddenly remembered.

Edith Miller-her original name was Lily Miller.

Back when she was a girl, Victoria used to copy everything about Edith's style-— the clothes, the hair, even changing her own name to match her mother's.

But ever since Edith married into the Simms family and started living large, she carried herself everywhere like she was high society.

Before Victoria could say a word, Edith had already towed her over to Janice.

"Mother, this is Victoria-Edith's daughter."

Notice she didn't say "Simms's daughter"—just "Edith's." It was clear Edith never really saw Victoria as part of the family.

The old woman barely glanced at Victoria, lifting her eyelids just enough to mutter a dismissive "Oh." She didn't even bother to offer her a seat.
