The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 486

If the charges stuck, all of his assets would be frozen and handed over to the

"It's not over till it's over. No one knows how this will play out yet. We'll just have to

"Do you think Victoria already knows she and Simms aren't related by blood?"

But Violet didn't share Yulia's composure. She was anxious-desperate, even. "I'm leaving..."
