Chapter 410

Simms and Yulia nodded in agreement, both convinced that McNeil had thought of everything. Only Violet knew the truth-every word was a lie she'd spun

Since the day McNeil had agreed to marry her, nothing else had happened. Every step, every detail, she'd managed on her own.

She'd written the entire guest list alone, planning to show it to McNeil today, and to bring up the question of her wedding dress while she was at it.

Suddenly, Violet remembered the wedding gown Victoria had designed for her own anniversary with McNeil-the one Violet hadn't been able to stop thinking about. She'd tried to bring it home once, but Victoria had snatched it back immediately.

Now that Victoria and McNeil were divorced, and Victoria hadn't even bothered to claim their house—since Gwyn was still living there—it stood to reason the gown was probably still in the closet at McNeil and Victoria's old place.
