Chapter 483

Victoria sat on the couch, watching the nanny prepare breakfast for the three children. Her heart was remarkably calm.

It had been nearly a week since McNeil left, and to her surprise, she'd adjusted effortlessly. She woke naturally each morning, and whenever there was time, she'd take the twins downstairs for a breath of fresh air.

She'd arranged a driver to take Gwyneth to and from school. Most importantly, since her younger siblings' arrival, Gwyneth had become noticeably more mature. She'd come home and finish her homework on her own, never needing a reminder. Sometimes, Gwyneth even used the same gentle tone Victoria once used with her, fussing over the twins as if she were their little mother.

Perhaps, Victoria thought, giving birth to the twins had brought her eldest daughter back to her in the truest sense.

McNeil's absence hadn't affected Victoria at all. In fact, she felt relieved-not having to endure his constant, watchful gaze at home was like a weight lifted from her shoulders. That feeling of being scrutinized every second had always left her on edge.

She played with the twins while soft music drifted through the room. Her phone rang; it was Yasmine.

Victoria glanced at the twins in their cradle, gently tickling their tiny hands. "And what's her plan?"

"She wants Simms dead."

The words sent a chill down Victoria's spine.
