Veronica Thorne's face hardened, her teeth sinking into her lower lip as her eyes flashed with pure venom.
Fine. Everyone else was perfect, and even a woman who had spent years as a kept mistress dared to lecture her now, acting like Veronica was the ultimate villain.
If they wanted a villain, she’d give them one.
Regret gnawed at Veronica until she felt sick. She couldn't fathom why she had ever signed that marriage license with Yardley Flynn. It had left her alienated and despised on all sides. Yardley didn't care about her, and the entire Flynn family treated her like she didn't exist. Even Corinne Quinn, who used to walk on eggshells around her, had completely flipped her attitude the moment Melanie returned to back her up.
If they were going to play dirty, so would she.
Since Irene Sommers refused to do her dirty work, Veronica decided to take matters into her own hands. She was going to rip away the Flynn family’s final shred of dignity.
After all, she already had her hands on the Flynn Group’s latest financial reports.
The endless sea of red ink on the pages almost made her laugh out loud.
Once she released these numbers at a live press conference, the Flynn Group would be the laughingstock of the business world.
She couldn't wait to see how Yardley planned to spin this disaster! He would have no choice but to drop to his knees and beg for mercy.
The thought of that arrogant man bowing his head to her sent a thrill through her veins.
Without missing a beat, she booked a venue for the press conference and immediately drove over.
Meanwhile, word of how Yardley had ruthlessly shut down Irene Sommers and sent her packing with her tail between her legs quickly reached Scarlett Langley.
Someone even sent her a high-definition video of the confrontation.
Tapping play, Scarlett watched as Yardley, sharp and imposing in a tailored black suit, delivered brutal, cutting remarks. His icy demeanor and piercing words were a far cry from the evasive, corporate-speak-spouting man she used to know.
Staring at the screen, Scarlett realized Yardley really had changed.
He was finally facing his messes head-on instead of masking them with polite lies.
Compared to the polished fake he used to be, this version of Yardley actually seemed like a real man—one willing to take responsibility.
