The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 216

Chapter 216

Victoria had been holed up at home, nursing her injuries for over two weeks. Every day, right on schedule, Curtis would check in on her―never prying for details, never asking why.

He even seemed to consider her feelings. If she wanted, he'd have the company cover the cost of a getaway, just to help her clear her head.

But Victoria didn't need a vacation. What she needed was to become strong enough to reclaim everything the Turner family had lost-everything that belonged to her grandfather and her mother.

So she sat at home, sipping coffee and keeping up with the financial news. Yasmine would send her real-time updates on V&S Group's latest R&D projects, and watching her bank balance steadily grow was Victoria's greatest comfort.

Once her foot had healed enough, she knew she had to return to Quantum Core Technologies. She and Curtis weren't exactly close, and the company's most vital technology remained out of reach for her.
