The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 374

The proceedings began with Victoria's attorney laying out the grounds for divorce.

The most damning accusation was that her husband had neglected his family and maintained an affair with another woman.

Maynard stayed silent. He had assumed Mrs. Langford was merely bluffing, trying to scare Mr. Langford into submission. After all, Mr. Langford had bought his wife's company only to gift it to Ms. Marchand-naturally, his wife would be furious.

But Maynard hadn't expected Victoria to go straight for the jugular, exposing McNeil's involvement with Violet without the slightest hesitation or mercy.

The opposing attorney presented a mountain of evidence, and formally requested the judge to freeze all marital assets effective immediately. Furthermore, they demanded that everything McNeil had given to Violet during the marriage be returned to Victoria by law.

This included the house on Winding Peak Lane, along with every piece of jewelry and valuable item McNeil had purchased under his own name over the years.

Maynard and McNeil's lawyer could only watch in disbelief as two court officers wheeled in over twenty pounds of printed documents-meticulously itemized records of every gift McNeil had ever given Violet since marrying Victoria.
