The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 91

Victoria spotted McNeil and Violet beneath the fireworks, Curtis, Isaac, and Marcus nearby, with little Max in tow.

From a distance, the group was laughing and enjoying themselves, the night alive with their easy camaraderie.

“Dad, Ms. Marchand, you’re out here setting off fireworks and didn’t even invite me.”

Gwyneth’s voice carried a hint of indignation.

Violet crouched down in front of her, her eyes twinkling. “Weren’t you the one who said you had plans tonight?”

McNeil had asked Gwyneth earlier what she was up to, and she’d said she was going to see her mom. She never mentioned this to Violet, only saying she had a craft project and needed to look something up on the computer.

She’d even whispered in Violet’s ear, promising not to intrude on her “special time” alone with Dad.

Violet saw right through her little scheme but chose not to call her out.

Isaac couldn’t help but ask, “It’s pretty late, Gwyneth. Who brought you here?”

“My mom, of course.”

Gwyneth replied without missing a beat. The three men—except for McNeil—immediately turned to look in the direction where Victoria stood.

The streetlamp behind Victoria cast her face in shadow; no one could see her expression.

Violet felt her whole body tense, unable to move for a moment.

Victoria was really here. If she came over to say hello, what would happen if she and McNeil were recognized as a couple?

“Is that your wife, McNeil? Why don’t you call her over?” Curtis asked, curiosity piqued. Marcus and Isaac looked just as eager.

After all, Gwyneth’s mom was McNeil’s mysterious, never-before-seen wife. Who wouldn’t want to finally catch a glimpse of her?

Even Violet couldn’t handle McNeil’s stubbornness, yet this woman had not only married him but had a daughter with him.

“Should we go invite her?” Isaac offered, almost jumping with anticipation. Violet’s face had turned an alarming shade of pale.

McNeil cut them off. “No.”

Marcus protested, “Come on, McNeil. You run into your wife and don’t even ask her to join us? Besides, you and Violet are just friends now. Don’t let her get the wrong idea.”
