The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 346

Though Curtis’s tone sounded like he was asking for opinions, it was clear his mind was already made up.

McNeil kept silent—he wasn’t foolish enough to comment.

The gleam in Violet’s eyes faded swiftly, her earlier pride wiped away by the force of Curtis’s announcement.

Paul, with that sly, foxlike glint in his eyes, shot Victoria a look full of mischief.

“Wow, that’s great! If Victoria’s going to be the company’s vice president, maybe I can—”

McNeil’s cold stare cut him off mid-sentence. Paul instantly clammed up, reading the room.

Violet’s composure slipped; she feigned calm, fixing Curtis with a steady gaze. Her lips parted, crimson and cool: “I disagree.”

Her smile was polite but edged with ice. “Of course, I have no personal grudge against Ms. Turner, nor do I intend any offense. I’m just considering what’s best for the company.”

Paul glanced at Violet, growing more convinced that the woman before him was nothing like the Vivian he’d once admired.

“Mr. Garcia, let’s not forget: Victoria once sabotaged an entire project for her own benefit. Isn’t that lesson enough for Quantum Core Technologies? I’ll admit, Ms. Turner is talented—and the company’s already entrusted her with the crucial task of developing our new game. That alone will keep her busy.

But being vice president means overseeing far more than software development. There are entire divisions under that role. I’m sure Victoria has the capability, but… I hear you have a child, Ms. Turner. Doesn’t your family need you?”

Violet’s words were a pointed reminder: Victoria shouldn’t assume she could just swoop in and steal her thunder.

Even if Victoria left Quantum Core Technologies, Violet was determined not to give up her own position.

To her, Victoria was hopelessly out of her depth when it came to management. If Victoria was so capable, how had McNeil managed to take over V&S Group and hand it to her? Victoria’s attempts to play smart on the outside looked laughable from Violet’s perspective.

McNeil had never acknowledged Victoria’s worth. Now, Victoria was trying to dazzle everyone at Quantum Core Technologies, hoping Curtis would help her climb the ladder. Violet figured Curtis was simply blinded by her looks; that had to be the only reason for such a foolish decision.

Victoria smiled, unruffled. “Wherever the company needs me, I’ll be there.”

Curtis exhaled, relieved. He’d invented the whole story about the board voting on Victoria’s appointment; there was no such process.

But he sincerely valued Victoria’s abilities. Leaving her stuck as an engineer in the tech department was a waste—she’d leave sooner or later. Better to give her a meaningful position now and keep her here.
