The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 60

“Gwyn will be fine with Violet. Maybe the teacher’s just being biased. Let’s leave it for now—I’m busy.”

He hung up before Victoria could say another word, leaving her wondering just what he was so busy with.

The Langford Group had been running smoothly for six years now, thanks to their joint efforts. McNeil had secured absolute control over the company, and most things no longer needed his direct involvement.

But ever since she’d uncovered the truth about Violet, he’d only grown more excessive—less patient with her. Now, even when she tried to discuss serious matters, McNeil’s irritation bled through.

A message from Ailie popped up on her phone:

“I can’t take it anymore. Violet just mangled the proposal we discussed—turned it into a complete mess—and your precious Mr. Garcia encouraged everyone to give her a round of applause. What a pair—he’s hopeless, she’s shameless. Seriously, a match made in hell.”

Attached was a photo from the event: McNeil gazing at Violet with an adoring look, while Violet beamed back at him. Curtis and the other executives were all clapping along the sidelines.

Victoria understood instantly.

So McNeil was busy playing up Violet’s reputation—no wonder he hadn’t answered her calls, and when he did, he was downright unpleasant.

Violet was the one he couldn’t bear to see criticized. Rather than face their daughter’s issues, he’d rather believe Victoria was lying, just to hurt Violet.

Her grip tightened around her phone, then loosened again.

He was probably still with Violet.

It was getting late. Surely McNeil would come pick up Gwyneth soon; after all, he hadn’t messaged Victoria to handle it herself.

Their daughter belonged to both of them. Still, if McNeil didn’t want her involved, Victoria wasn’t about to give him any more reason to lash out.

She still needed his signature on the divorce papers. If she provoked him and he decided to make things difficult, ending this marriage would be anything but easy.
