The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 232

Violet's face changed in an instant, her expression tightening.

Victoria didn't respond. She walked out of the dining room with Ailie, not sparing a backward glance.

For a moment, the atmosphere was heavy with awkwardness. Curtis shot McNeil a long, searching look, clearly mulling over the phrase "all alone."

"I'm done too. You all enjoy the rest of your meal," Curtis said, barely masking his intent as he set off after Victoria.

Simms let out a cold laugh. "Seems Mr. Garcia values Victoria a lot. Five million dollars, and he doesn't even bat an eye."

Violet watched Curtis's retreating figure. Suddenly, a realization dawned on her: Curtis cared for Victoria far more than she'd imagined. A businessman who'd built his company into one of Starfall City's leading firms, yet he let his staff follow their whims, switch departments as they pleased-unless he was in love, what other reason could there be? What boss would indulge an employee like that?

"Curtis is serious about Victoria."

Violet's smile was subtle, almost offhand, but her words landed with precision.

"Cousin, you really are something," Marian chimed in, eager to please Violet, her tone full of disdain. "Why would you even bring someone like her into the company? She's not half as capable as you, and she's got the nerve to ask for three percent. Who does she think she is?"
