Chapter 434

Victoria ended up spending the evening with the group until well past nine. When it was finally time to go, Stein offered to drive her home while the rest dispersed.

Jimmy, who'd never been one for socializing, surprised everyone-including Stein -by enthusiastically agreeing to join Lyndon and the others for the next rally race. "Big brother, you can trust Jimmy with them," Victoria reassured Stein as he glanced at her, still mildly incredulous.

Stein just looked amused. "Mr. Langford, you and Victoria are already divorced. You never hovered this close when you two were married."

He smirked, deliberately goading him. “Now that she's single, she's free to make her own choices."
