Chapter 435

A month passed, and Victoria's belly had grown noticeably rounder.

McNeil took it upon himself to cook for her, preparing every meal with care and never missing a beat. Three times a day, her food was delivered right to her side.

Despite his efforts, Victoria remained distant. Any time McNeil tried to show even a hint of friendliness, she'd immediately pull away, putting clear space between them.

McNeil noticed. He respected the invisible boundary Victoria had drawn, never daring to cross it.

From Ailie, Victoria heard that Violet was back at V&S Group, once again running the show.

Before selling V&S Group, Victoria had already secured several large contracts, and over the past month, almost all of them had come through.

V&S Group was taking off at lightning speed. Ailie saw it happening and couldn't help but worry.

She called Victoria from the break room, coffee in hand. "If you don't get back here soon, V&S Group will really end up belonging to Violet."

Victoria smiled faintly. "I won't be able to make it back to Starfall City for a while, not until after the baby's born. If all the projects go through as planned, I'll have the head of the company there send me regular reports. Don't worry about V&S Group-Violet can't take it from me."

After all, Violet had been helping out for a solid month. Victoria had also finally found the right person for the job. As scatterbrained as Ailie could be in everyday life, when it came to work, she was as sharp and reliable as they came.

Ailie perked up, excitement clear in her voice. "So, what's your plan?"
