The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 494

Simms just ignored everyone, tears streaming down his face.

“You’ve been with me ever since you were a child. How could you turn on me like this, stabbing me in the back for someone else? I don’t even know these women! You know your father has money, and everything I earn is for the Turner family—it’s all yours.

I don’t know where these two came from, but they’re clearly after my money. They’re trying to frame me and drive a wedge between us. Vicky, your mother’s gone. Now I only have you—my only daughter—by my side...”

Simms cried so convincingly, even the judge looked like he might believe him.

Victoria’s lawyer, however, presented a thick stack of evidence showing Simms had been embezzling company funds for years. Yet Simms denied everything, breaking down so dramatically that he could barely speak through his sobs.

“No one else might know, but you do, Vicky. I’m just a son-in-law in the Turner family—I never had any real power. A quarter of the company’s shares are in your name. Even I’m just working for you! You already got half of McNeil’s assets in the divorce.

Golden Era Enterprises has always been yours. All the hard work I put in was for you. I never asked you to hand the company over to me—I just wanted to make a living, to save up a little for my retirement. Can’t you let your father have that much?”

Simms’ act of playing the victim was truly Oscar-worthy.

Standing at the plaintiff’s table, Victoria was momentarily stunned by his words. Emily’s face was set in stone; she slipped off her high heels and gripped them tightly, ready to hurl them at Simms. But before she could act, Violet rose to her feet.

“Dad, that’s not quite right. You only have one daughter? Then who am I? Who’s my mother?”

Everyone in the courtroom stared at Violet in shock. Simms’ mind raced, cursing inwardly as he tried to come up with a response.

Even Simms’ lawyer seemed at a loss, but Simms managed to keep his composure.
