The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 457

Perhaps fate finally showed a bit of mercy to the Turner family. After Victoria married McNeil, she helped propel the Langford Group to become the wealthiest family in Starfall City. McNeil’s career soared; he was untouchable, and no one dared to challenge him.

Because of that, Simms didn’t dare move against Victoria. With McNeil as her shield, there was little he could do. When Violet’s relationship with McNeil ended and McNeil married Victoria instead, Simms simply cut all ties with Victoria and the Langford family.

It wasn’t until Violet returned to Starfall City and caught McNeil’s attention again that Simms reconnected with the Langfords.

Yet, in the end, Simms never got the marriage alliance he’d been scheming for.

He’d come so close—just a hair’s breadth away—and Golden Era Enterprises would’ve had access to all the Langford resources. They could have crushed the competition.

Victoria’s eyes were rimmed red, bloodshot from holding back tears.

“Deserve it? He’s already taken more than he ever should have. And he still wants more—how greedy can one man be?”

If it hadn’t been for Mann insisting the Turner family find a man they could control, there would’ve been no reason to oppose Edith marrying into the Campbell family.

Mann’s greatest regret, even at the very end, was tearing his daughter away from the man she loved. In the end, he not only broke her heart—he got her killed.

And for a man who’s willing to throw away every ounce of dignity for money and power, you have to be wary of what he’ll do once he has it all. He’ll turn on the very people who helped him climb up, seeing them not as benefactors but as enemies. The past becomes an embarrassment, a stain he can’t wash away.

Victoria sat quietly on the only armchair in the hospital room, a bitter smile twisting her lips.

“I only ever wanted to get Yulia and Violet out of his life. After all, it was Yulia who made my mother suffer so much. But that wasn’t it—not really. The truth is, Simms deserved to die from the very beginning.”
