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?"

"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.

He nodded. "Yeah..."

"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."
