The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 390

Her head lolled to the side as she collapsed into his arms. McNeil hurriedly scooped Violet up, dialing emergency services and rushing her straight to the hospital.

The doctor, upon seeing Violet yet again, couldn't help but shake his head. This was the third or fourth time in a month she'd ended up here, always looking like she was at death's door. This time, it was a suicide attempt.

"Your girlfriend's really fragile. How did things get so bad she'd try to take her own life?" the doctor asked, glancing at McNeil with concern.

The man looked familiar-he was sure he'd seen him in a business magazine. Wasn't he the CEO of some major corporation?

McNeil didn't say a word. Instead, he pulled out his phone and called the old family estate to speak with his grandfather.

"Why did you have Violet's uterus removed?" he asked, his tone strained.

Removing her uterus was merciful. If I were as hot-tempered as I was in my youth, she wouldn't even be alive now.

"You can't even keep your own woman in line. Let her run wild, and you call yourself a CEO?"
