The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 386

Three days later, the courtroom reconvened, and at last, McNeil appeared in person.

Both sides' attorneys were present. Violet had also been summoned to attend.

Victoria's lawyer went first, submitting all the evidence. McNeil sat silently at the defendant's table, his gaze fixed on Victoria. He hardly blinked, watching her from the moment he entered until the proceedings began.

Violet sat stiffly in her seat. Usually, with McNeil around, she was calm and collected, confident in the knowledge he'd stand behind her. But today, everything was different.

Victoria's lawyer began outlining the assets and rights she was seeking in the divorce. McNeil's legal team gave no sign they intended to argue.

After Johnny finished his statement, McNeil finally spoke, his voice steady and low.

"Other than the accusation of adultery, I admit to everything else. There's never been a real relationship between Violet and me."

He looked at Victoria, his expression unreadable.

Victoria's smile was faint, almost tired.

"Your woman showed me a prenatal report. She claims she's carrying your child. But whether you two actually had an affair doesn't matter anymore. What matters to me now is the money-the assets that should have belonged to me all along. Everything you gave her, I want it back. As for whatever she has in her belly, that's your business. It has nothing to do with me."
