Chapter 387

"Maynard, drive Ms. Marchand home."

Violet was stunned—she hadn't expected McNeil to part ways with her so coldly. She bit her lip, unable to hide her unease.

"You want him to take me home? But where exactly do you expect me to go? Victoria's already taken back the house."

Her voice trembled with frustration and hurt.

McNeil's response was flat, emotionless. "You can go stay with your aunt and uncle. I have things to take care of."

Without another word, he turned and got into a different car, never looking back.
