The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 765

Even in such relaxed, domestic attire, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Gwyneth had inherited all of Victoria's beauty. When she was quiet, her delicate, fine-boned face possessed a classic, timeless elegance.

"No, this is fine. Let's not waste any time."

Gwyneth figured she wasn't going to a ball, so she didn't need to get all dressed up. Connor's suggestion was meant to be helpful; he thought she should at least put on some makeup and a nice outfit, so she wouldn't look disheveled and unprepared when she confronted the other woman. He imagined that Patti Yale probably spent her days dolled up like a butterfly to seduce Hawthorne. In a side-by-side comparison, Gwyneth might seem to fall short.

"Whatever you want."

Connor was trying to look out for her, but Gwyneth wasn't interested. She wasn't going to compete with Patti Yale; she was going to expose Hawthorne's lies.

After Gwyneth got into the car, Connor instructed Leonie, "Buckle up. We're heading out."

Of the three of them in the car, only Leonie's heart was pounding with anxiety. Gwyneth's face was a blank mask, as if she had already accepted the outcome. Connor wore a smug grin, completely unconcerned about what was to come. He had video proof; of course, he trusted his friend.

Thanks to Connor's driving, it wasn't long before they arrived at Hawthorne and Patti Yale's supposed love nest.

A small, three-story apartment building appeared before them.

Leonie hesitated, reluctant to get out of the car. Gwyneth stared at the building, an unexpected wave of panic and nervousness washing over her. Was this what it felt like to catch your husband cheating? Her own mother, Victoria, must have felt this way when she went to Violet Marchand and McNeil Langford's apartment on Winding Peak Lane. She remembered the look of despair in her mother's eyes, followed by hysteria when she saw Violet—especially since Violet was wearing the very wedding dress her mother had planned to wear for her anniversary with her father.

The scene from the past seemed to be replaying itself, and for a moment, Gwyneth felt disoriented.

Connor prodded from the side. "Not getting out?"
