The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 342

Victoria returned to the conference room with Ailie after being sick, and even before they stepped inside, they could hear the commotion—a low buzz, like the place had erupted.

But as soon as they entered, it became clear the executives weren't actually discussing anything earth-shattering. Their faces were relaxed, their voices casual, just chatting away.

Only Violet and Curtis looked remotely serious, lost in their own thoughts.

The moment Victoria walked in, the room fell silent.

She felt a little bewildered. Was there some secret she wasn't supposed to hear?

Curtis glanced at her, his expression complicated.

"There's some news, Ms. Marchand. Why don't you share it yourself?"

He turned the floor over to Violet.

Violet's eyes lingered on Victoria for a moment, her voice cool and measured. "Victoria, are you feeling unwell?"

Victoria managed a faint smile. "Caught a bit of a chill, but I'll survive. What was it you wanted to ask me, Ms. Marchand?"

Violet's jaw tightened-Victoria hadn't even heard her question. But of course, Violet wasn't about to repeat herself. Instead, she straightened in her chair, projecting authority as she addressed the room.

"Mr. Langford has officially acquired V&S Group. So, my resignation is to take up the CEO position at V&S Group. There's no need for any wild speculation."

She glanced at Victoria, gauging her reaction.

When McNeil first told Violet that Victoria was somehow involved in V&S Group, she'd been stunned.
