Chapter 353

Letting Victoria go with him would be like tossing a lamb to the wolves. By the time McNeil had his way with her, it'd be far too late for regrets.

Curtis knew all too well how dangerous McNeil could be around women. Never mind his terrifyingly powerful background-the way he lavished gifts and resources on women was enough to make anyone wary.

woman.

It wasn't that Curtis was jealous of Victoria or Violet. He just worried that Victoria would get swept up by McNeil's money and charm, end up losing herself, and tumble straight into his arms.

Victoria was the one he'd set his sights on. She'd been at the company for months, and he hadn't dared make a move. McNeil, on the other hand, didn't care if a woman was married or had kids-he went after anyone he pleased.
