The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 176

"Mr. Langford, Ms. Marchand, Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller."

The moment Mr. Evans spotted the group, his face lit up with delight—this was turning out to be quite the rewarding day tagging along with Curtis.

These days, wherever Simms went, Yulia was always by his side. Anyone with half a brain could see what was going on between them. The clever ones, like Mr. Evans, went straight to calling her Mrs. Miller.

Standing nearby, Victoria heard the greeting, and her expression cooled ever so slightly.

Simms, for his part, seemed a bit on edge—especially with Victoria and Violet showing up alongside McNeil at such a public event.

Violet had brought it up several times before, and every time Victoria found out they were back together, it had ended in yet another argument.

“Once Mr. Campbell arrives, McNeil, you’ll need his approval on that drone project from last time. Why don’t you take Violet up front and grab a good seat?”

Simms’s suggestion made Victoria pause.

She remembered Violet pitching a drone project at Quantum Core Technologies, only to have Ailie shoot it down.

So it had been Simms’s idea all along. After years of biding his time in the Turner family, he’d finally outlasted his father-in-law and wife, and now he was chairman of the board.

With that power, he was eager to reinvent the company, steering Golden Era Enterprises into the tech sector, leaving old industries behind—hoping, perhaps, that people would finally forget he’d once been the Turner family’s live-in son-in-law.

Not a bad plan, but Ailie had accidentally thrown a wrench in it. Sometimes, Victoria thought, fate really did have a sense of humor.

Curtis started to lead Victoria toward the front, but Simms intercepted him.

“Mr. Garcia, I have a question I’d love your insight on. If you have a moment?”

Simms’s status wasn’t quite the same as Mr. Evans’s; Curtis couldn’t exactly refuse. He leaned over to Victoria and spoke in a low voice.

“Stick with Mr. Langford and Ms. Marchand, all right?”

Of course, Victoria had no intention of following McNeil and Violet to the front.

With her status, there was no way she’d be seated among the VIPs.
