The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 361

Every word out of Stein's mouth landed squarely on McNeil's sore spots, leaving

him utterly speechless and unable to muster a retort.

"I've arranged a place for you to stay tonight. Vicky-"

Stein turned to her, his gaze so tender it drove McNeil up the wall.

"That's all right, Stein. Thank you, but we already booked our hotel before we arrived," Victoria interjected, cutting him off before things could get complicated. Stein held her eyes for a moment, reading her refusal, then didn't press the issue. "Fine, I'll stop playing host. But remember, I still have some pull in Echo City. If you run into any trouble, just come to me."

His concern for Victoria was obvious, and the more McNeil looked at Stein, the more he found the man intolerable.

"Mr. Campbell, it's getting late and we need to get back to our hotel and rest. Whatever else we need to discuss can wait until tomorrow," McNeil said, unable to hold back any longer. He pulled Victoria firmly into his arms, as if afraid Stein might snatch her away the moment he let go.

Victoria tried to wriggle free, but he held her so tightly she couldn't budge.

Stein watched the two of them, but didn't say another word. He walked out first, and only then did McNeil lead a reluctant Victoria after him.

This time, Stein didn't insist that Victoria ride with him. Instead, he told the driver to take the couple straight to their hotel. After a few final words of concern to Victoria, he left as well.

Once inside the hotel room, Victoria was still bristling. McNeil noticed, but decided not to pick a fight.
