The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 146

"I'm full, I'll leave you to it. Enjoy your meal."

With graceful poise, Victoria rose from the table and headed upstairs.

Violet's knuckles were white as she gripped her glass. "There's no way Curtis would sell the game and then split the profits with Victoria. That's impossible, isn't it?"

McNeil, unfazed from start to finish, spoke quietly. "He wants Victoria to stay at the company."

No one noticed the shadow that flickered in his eyes as he said this a darkness that seemed to shroud him, his entire presence radiating a chilling, simmering anger.

Simms was visibly frustrated. He'd thought that appealing to Victoria's emotions or reason would persuade her to help fix the game, but instead he'd lost hundreds of thousands on a worthless investment and walked away empty-handed.

Sensing Simms' mood souring, Yulia tried to steer the conversation elsewhere. Violet, however, couldn't hide her embarrassment or her disappointment.

"No one wanted things to end up like this," she said, voice tight. "And it's not Violet's fault."

McNeil broke the tension with his calm, steady tone. "This time, the loss from Golden Era Ventures' investment is on me."

His words hung in the air, plunging the room into silence.

Suddenly, a phone rang upstairs. Everyone instinctively paused, listening.
