Chapter 448

In the end, McNeil moved into Victoria's house.

After Yasmine left, Victoria couldn't find another assistant she liked as much. She had considered asking Yasmine to come back, but Yasmine and Ailie were running V&S Group so smoothly together.

She'd done body-sculpting workouts every day, and now her figure was even better than it had been before. The only difference was that, since she was nursing, her bust and hips were fuller.
