The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 458

Simms had done so many terrible things-Victoria was determined to make sure every last one of them came back to haunt him. She would make him understand what it meant to reap what you sow.

"So, what's your plan?"

Stein paused, then cautioned her, "Whatever you do, don't get yourself tangled up in this mess."

As a soldier, he hated to see dirty business happening right under his nose. But the world didn't always play by the rules. If it did, men like Simms-corrupt and cunning-wouldn't exist. Simms had bribed someone to run down his own wife, then seized control of his father-in-law's assets. A hundred deaths wouldn't be punishment enough for a man like that.

Victoria's voice was cold. "He deserves everything coming to him."

The only bit of solace was that her aunt had finally woken up.

For Victoria, that was the one comfort she had left.

Her mother and grandfather had been gone for years now. The grief was still there, buried deep, but it no longer crushed her like it once did.

All these years, she'd fought to take back Golden Era Enterprises. Now, she wanted Simms's life.
