The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 433

Since Yasmine had already gotten involved, there was no way she’d withdraw the lawsuit now.

Halfway through dinner, Stein arrived. He was dressed casually, none of his usual intimidating aura about him.

Today he drove a modest sedan instead of his usual flashy car, and he hadn’t brought any bodyguards—just his son, Jimmy Campbell. With his calm demeanor and glasses, he looked more like a college professor than anything else.

Lyndon and the others could joke with anyone, but the moment Stein appeared, they all straightened up and acted as respectful as schoolboys caught in the act.

“Hey, big bro, grab a seat!”

Victoria’s eyes lit up when she saw Jimmy. “Hey there, kiddo.”

“Aunt Victoria,” Jimmy greeted quietly.

Jimmy had always been a good kid—more mature than most his age, with a calm steadiness that reminded everyone of his father.

It was the first time Jimmy had seen a belly that big. His eyes widened in wonder. “When’s the baby coming out?”

That question set off a round of cheers and laughter around the table.

“Boss, I heard babies are good luck! I’m betting you’re having a boy.”

“Looks like two boys to me!”

“Three wouldn’t be a bad thing either!”

“I even heard someone once had ten babies at once!”

The guy who said that immediately got smacked on the head. He yelped, “Hey, what was that for?”

“Because you’re talking nonsense! No one has ten kids at once—we’re not talking about pigs here.”

“Can’t a guy just joke around?”

The banter only grew louder and more chaotic.

Victoria rolled her eyes at them. “Why stop at ten? Maybe I’ll have twelve, and you can each adopt one. But when you can’t find a wife, don’t blame me!”

Stein watched them, a flicker of envy in his eyes. That kind of relaxed, joyful feeling was something he’d never really had in his life.

Jimmy quickly blended in with the others, even though he was quieter than most of them. The guys pulled him into their conversations, bombarding him with stories from their days on the field and ridiculous tall tales that left the younger kids wide-eyed in disbelief.

“I’ve arranged for your aunt to come to Evermore City,” Stein told Victoria softly. “The hospitals here are better equipped, and there are more specialists. Plus, I can get military doctors if I need to. Don’t worry—we’ll do everything we can to help her.”

Emily Turner had been in poor health for years. Victoria didn’t really have much hope left, but she couldn’t bring herself to give up on her aunt. She just wanted family close by—she hadn’t had the chance to take care of them, to repay their kindness.

“Thank you, big brother.”
