Chapter 331

Violet held her breath the entire cab ride to McNeil and Victoria's house.

Night had just fallen, and the villa glowed with warm, inviting light.

Inside, McNeil and Victoria sat at the dining table with Gwyneth, the three of them sharing dinner. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, their harmony was on full display. Standing outside the gate, Violet could see everything-every smile, every gesture.
