The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 145

Chapter 145

The next day, Victoria spent the entire day buried in work at Quantum Core Technologies, hardly giving a thought to her daughter.

She'd meant to call Gwyneth once the sun came up, but once she got back to the office, the idea completely slipped her mind.

By the time she remembered after clocking out and heading home-she was already back at the Turner estate.

As she stepped out of her car, she immediately noticed McNeil's sleek sedan parked in the driveway.

It was a rare thing for surprise to flicker across Victoria's face. She checked the license plate twice, but it was definitely his.

She was still puzzling over it when the car door swung open and Violet stepped out.

"Should I be calling you 'cousin' now?" Violet teased, a sly smile on her lips. "After all, you're the daughter of my soon-to-be uncle."

Only then did Victoria recall what Simms had said the night before about important guests coming for dinner-he'd meant McNeil and Violet.

Realizing this, Victoria knew it was too late to make an escape.

Simms happened to emerge from the house just then, catching sight of the group.

"Victoria, you're back! Come help welcome our guests."

Victoria let out a silent, sardonic laugh, the corners of her mouth twitching into a wry smile. McNeil met her gaze across the drive, his eyes utterly impassive.
