The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 348

Violet hurried after him, catching up just as McNeil was about to get into the car.

She leaned in, lips poised for a kiss.

Victoria was already seated inside, glancing their way, but McNeil deftly turned aside, skillfully dodging Violet's attempt.

Violet's face flushed with awkwardness, but she still reached out, straightening the lapel of his coat.

"It's freezing out here. Look at you, not even bothering to button up properly."

She made a show of intimacy, as if to put on a display for anyone watching—by all appearances, they were a couple in the throes of romance.

Curtis pretended not to notice the scene unfolding between McNeil and Violet; his attention was fixed on Victoria's reaction instead.

Victoria, however, simply rolled up the back window without a word. Paul, sitting in the driver's seat, let out an impatient huff.

"C'mon, man, hurry up!"

Then he called over his shoulder to the back, "Victoria, better buckle up. My driving's not exactly award-winning."

McNeil took Violet's hand gently, then let go. His face grew cold.

"This isn't the time or place," he said quietly.

A flicker of hurt crossed Violet's eyes. "You were fine with Curtis driving me home today—did I complain? Now you won't even let me in the car. You never used to treat me like this. Victoria, she-"

McNeil stepped back, putting distance between them. "It's late. Curtis will see you home. You're not a child anymore; take care of yourself."
