The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 464

Victoria brought her aunt home to her place in Evermore City.

Emily was still frail. She'd only just woken up and was far too weak to even get out of bed.

Knowing Victoria had just given birth herself and needed all the rest and help she could get, Emily had initially refused to stay. But Victoria was insistent.

"Aunt Emily, you and my brother are the only family I have left in this world. I want you here with me."

Emily was touched. "Silly girl, you have three children now. Look at Gwyn-she's grown into such a lovely girl-and the two little ones, too. And besides—"

Victoria's expression didn't change. "There's nothing left between us. That's what matters, Aunt Emily. He doesn't love me."

Emily asked gently, "And you? Are you sure you feel nothing for him anymore?" Victoria spoke quietly, her voice calm. "After years together, things just faded away-especially once my heart was broken for good."

She had no intention of going back.
