Chapter 335

"I suppose you're not a fan of red roses. Next time, I'll bring something else,"

McNeil said lightly.

Victoria just stared at him.

During dinner, McNeil started asking Victoria about the new game she was developing.

She answered each question, calm and composed.

"With this release, you'll easily pocket a couple hundred million," he remarked.

Victoria shot him a look. "Thanks."

He grinned. "No need for that between family."

She let out a quiet, sardonic laugh.

Victoria looked at him again. "McNeil, are you feeling alright? Maybe you should see a doctor."

He served her another helping of vegetables. "No need. I feel great. If you don't believe me, you can check for yourself tonight."

Victoria kept her eyes on her plate, suddenly finding her food far more interesting than the conversation.

Just then, McNeil's phone buzzed. He glanced at the caller ID, stood up, and headed to the front hall to take the call.

Victoria watched him go, expression unreadable. He'd been sticking to her like glue these days—-never giving her a moment's peace. She figured Violet must be annoyed by now.

She shrugged it off and continued eating with Gwyneth.

"Maynard?"

"Mr. Langford, we've completed the investigation. There's absolutely no blood relation between Stein and Mrs. Turner's mother. The Campbell family has no marital ties to the Turners either."

McNeil's hand tightened around his phone. "You're certain."

Maynard paused. "Absolutely."

"Understood."
