The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 365

Ailie lounged alone in the spacious villa, more than three thousand square feet all to herself. She sipped a glass of juice, enjoying a massage from a skilled

therapist.

She still remembered how dazed she'd been the day her plane landed in Marisbright. For a moment, she genuinely thought she'd boarded the wrong flight. But after double-checking her ticket and the flight number, there was no mistake— she was supposed to be here.

As soon as she exited the airport, a private car was already waiting. The driver was tall, strikingly handsome, and his smile was warmer than sunshine itself. He welcomed her to Marisbright, informed her that she'd be staying at the city's finest hotel, and explained that everything-absolutely everything-would be complimentary.

Ailie had been completely stunned, half convinced she'd stumbled into some elaborate scam. That is, until the driver produced a letter of introduction from none other than Mr. Langford of the McNeil Group. It was his personal directive: she was to have the most enjoyable vacation possible. Only then did she realize McNeil had orchestrated this whole "accidental" trip to get her out of the way.

After contacting Victoria, she was reassured her friend was fine. Victoria had already gotten in touch with Mr. Stein and was busy negotiating a business deal. With her worries eased, Ailie threw herself into the pleasures of Marisbright- eating, drinking, and living it up as if she hadn't a care in the world.

At first, she'd been anxious about Victoria. But as the days passed, Ailie found herself swept up in the fun. If Victoria hadn't called to check in, she might have forgotten altogether what she'd come here to do.

"Everything's fine," Victoria told her over the phone. "But Mr. Garcia did notice you didn't come back with me. I told him you wanted to extend your stay and keep exploring."

Ailie tensed at the mention of Curtis. Of everyone, he was the one she feared most. She was supposed to keep an eye on McNeil and make sure he didn't cause trouble for Victoria. If Curtis found out she'd let Victoria slip away, she'd probably be the first one fired next month.
