Chapter 204

Victoria didn't bother exposing Gwyneth's lie-there was simply no need.

She'd originally planned a visit to see Osborn Clark at the hospital, but when she heard Gwyneth on the phone say she'd be picking Violet up after her discharge- and knowing both Osborn and Violet were patients at the same hospital-Victoria decided it was best to avoid running into McNeil and Violet altogether. She'd just go another day.

It wasn't that she was afraid of McNeil. She just saw no reason to ever cross paths again.

After so many long hours at work, Victoria couldn't remember the last time she'd truly relaxed.

She called up her old dance instructor, deciding to spend the afternoon in the studio, lost in movement and music.

Before she'd married McNeil, Victoria had a world of hobbies. Over time, everything had started to revolve around McNeil and Gwyneth. The talented, lively, and irresistibly vibrant woman she once was had faded into someone entirely different.

She drove herself to the dance studio. Sophia Carter was already waiting for her.
