The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 294

Stein's eyes were gentle and calm. "Don't put anyone on a pedestal, Vicky. I'll be fine."

Victoria couldn't share Stein's ease-she knew exactly what McNeil was capable

of.

Her hands trembled around her teacup, tears falling onto her skin, clear and bright.

"Is this because of the V&S Group? Are we dragging you into this?"

If she'd known, she would never have convinced her brother to award the defense contract to their company.

"It's not your fault. This is an internal issue."

Stein's answer was casual, but Victoria only felt the weight in her chest increase.

"Has Osborn come back too?"

He nodded. "Yeah..."

Then Stein fell silent.

Both of them sat quietly, the hush stretching between them. At last, Stein broke it.

"Since you're here, why not relax for a few days? I'll show you around."

"Stein, you know I'm not here for a vacation. Tomorrow I'm planning to see Osborn."

He nodded in understanding. "Alright."

That evening, several people arrived at Stein's house.

All of them wore business attire, each with a grave expression.
