Chapter 343

McNeil was watching Gwyneth so closely, it was as if he was afraid someone might whisk her away at any moment.

His own daughter, Victoria, on the other hand, didn't seem to inspire any such concern. Apparently, her father trusted that she wouldn't just run off.

Violet's expression was stormy, her annoyance plain for all to see.

"You've misunderstood me. I never said I wanted you to come with me to the new company," she snapped.

But Victoria didn't even wait for her to finish. Covering her mouth, she quickly apologized, "Mr. Garcia, I'm so sorry-I think I caught a cold yesterday—"

She couldn't hold it in any longer. That wave of nausea hit hard, and she had no choice but to dash for the restroom.

Violet's face went through a whole spectrum of colors, none of them flattering.

The whole point of this meeting had been to put Victoria on the spot-to embarrass her, make her uncomfortable.

But McNeil had ignored Violet's calls more than once, and even at the hospital, he'd sent his secretary or a nurse to check on her instead of coming himself. Even Simms and Yulia had started to notice something was off between Violet and McNeil.

What infuriated Violet most was that, on the rare occasion McNeil did answer her calls, Victoria always seemed to be around.

Did they think she didn't notice?
