The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 469

Stein seemed sincere enough, but because McNeil suspected he was after Victoria, he couldn't help but feel every word out of Stein's mouth was some kind of jab at him.

If this had happened before, McNeil wouldn't just have gone looking for Victoria— he probably would've punched Stein in the face for good measure.

Every time he saw the two of them together, it made him more uncomfortable than if Victoria were with any other man.

Back in Starfall City, he'd been the most sought-after bachelor among all the socialites. Women were never in short supply for him, as long as he wanted them.

Whatever his motives were back then, the truth was he'd completely ignored Victoria's feelings. Victoria loved him—had loved him for six years, unconditionally, always doing whatever he asked without hesitation.
