The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 363

"Here's to a smooth partnership, McNeil. This is the last time I'm entrusting Vicky to you. If you ever let her down, I'll take her away myself."

A shadow flickered in McNeil's eyes.

Their handshake was firm, almost aggressive-neither man willing to be the first to let go. The tension was thick in the air until someone entered and gave a polite nod. "General."

Stein and McNeil released each other's hands at once.

"I'll leave you to it."

McNeil took Victoria's hand, and Stein gave her a brief nod of farewell.

Knowing Stein had business to attend to, Victoria excused herself without protest.

At the entrance, Stein's car was already waiting for them.

"Mr. Langford, where to?" the driver asked.

"The airport," McNeil replied coolly.

Victoria looked at him, puzzled.

"I booked us tickets back to Starfall City," McNeil explained. "We're done here-no reason to stay any longer."

Victoria had hoped to find a chance to visit Stein's home and see Jimmy Campbell, but McNeil was moving faster than she'd anticipated.

"I still have things at the hotel," she protested.

After several days there, she'd left clothes to be laundered, never thinking she'd be heading home so suddenly.

"Buy new ones," McNeil said, not bothering to look at her.
