The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 370

Maynard relayed Victoria's message to McNeil exactly as she'd said it, and even he couldn't hide his surprise at how resolute she'd suddenly become.

McNeil listened in stony silence, his face unreadable. He didn't say a single word.

In the days that followed, Victoria threw herself entirely into the product development at Quantum Core Technologies. She was everywhere-testing, troubleshooting, brainstorming with her team, driving the project forward with relentless energy.

The office buzzed with speculation. Ever since Ms. Turner and Mr. Langford had gone out to sign that big contract, Mr. Langford hadn't set foot in the company again.

People had wondered if there was something more between Mr. Langford and Ms. Turner, but it turned out they really were all business.

And honestly, everyone could see the truth: Mr. Langford was dating Ms. Marchand, after all. He'd just bought a whole company and gifted it to her. Clearly, his devotion lay with Ms. Marchand. The idea that he'd be interested in Ms. Turner was just wishful thinking.

Curtis was just as quick as everyone else to connect the dots. Any lingering gossip about Victoria and McNeil faded away when McNeil stopped showing up at Quantum Core altogether.

Three days later, Victoria's newly developed game officially launched. This time, the marketing campaign had started well before the coding even began. The buzz rivaled that of Quantum Core's last major hit-the racing game that had taken the industry by storm.

Violet called McNeil.

"Who are you sending from Vertex Dynamics to the Quantum Core Technologies press conference?" she asked.

McNeil barely had time to respond before Violet cut him off.

"You're so busy, why not let me handle it? I was Quantum Core's former Vice

President, after all. Plus, our tech company and Quantum Core are sister companies now, and The Langford Group is already involved with this new game. I'm the logical choice."
