Chapter 279

Haley had already gone upstairs.

"Ma'am, I think Mr. McNeil is here," she called out.

Haley always referred to Simms as "Mr. Turner," but to McNeil, she used "Mr. McNeil."

Victoria nodded. "Let him in."

This was a quiet neighborhood of villas, not just the Turners' home but several other families lived nearby. Victoria had no intention of disturbing the peace.

McNeil's car was already parked out front. He was just about to get out when his phone rang.

"Mr. Langford, Ms. Marchand just got out of the car..."

McNeil's tone was even. "Are you there?"

"No, sir," the driver replied. "She insisted on getting out, and I couldn't stop her. Honestly, it's not a safe area..."

McNeil's brows drew together. "Where exactly?"

The driver gave him the address.
