The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 435

A month passed, and Victoria’s belly had grown noticeably rounder.

McNeil took it upon himself to cook for her, preparing every meal with care and never missing a beat. Three times a day, her food was delivered right to her side.

Despite his efforts, Victoria remained distant. Any time McNeil tried to show even a hint of friendliness, she’d immediately pull away, putting clear space between them.

McNeil noticed. He respected the invisible boundary Victoria had drawn, never daring to cross it.

From Ailie, Victoria heard that Violet was back at V&S Group, once again running the show.

Before selling V&S Group, Victoria had already secured several large contracts, and over the past month, almost all of them had come through.

V&S Group was taking off at lightning speed. Ailie saw it happening and couldn’t help but worry.

She called Victoria from the break room, coffee in hand. “If you don’t get back here soon, V&S Group will really end up belonging to Violet.”

Victoria smiled faintly. “I won’t be able to make it back to Starfall City for a while, not until after the baby’s born. If all the projects go through as planned, I’ll have the head of the company there send me regular reports. Don’t worry about V&S Group—Violet can’t take it from me.”

After all, Violet had been helping out for a solid month. Victoria had also finally found the right person for the job. As scatterbrained as Ailie could be in everyday life, when it came to work, she was as sharp and reliable as they came.

Ailie perked up, excitement clear in her voice. “So, what’s your plan?”

“I’m going to find a new CEO for V&S Group—someone to take Violet’s place.”

Ailie practically whooped with excitement. “I’m all for it!”

Victoria lounged back on her chaise, gazing out at the Echo City night skyline—something she never tired of.

“I’ve thought about it for a long time,” she said. “I want you to take over as CEO.”

Ailie nearly choked on her coffee. “Wait, did I hear you right? Me? No way! I’d run the company into the ground. Absolutely not!”

She waved her hands in protest, nearly spilling her drink. She was happy to be Victoria’s right hand, but taking the lead? That was another matter. She knew her own limits.

Ailie froze, coffee cup halfway to her lips. Her eyes widened. “How much did you say?”

“Three hundred and fifty thousand. If you really don’t want it, I’ll give it to someone else.”

Ailie set her cup down, momentarily stunned.

“You know I’m the most responsible person you’ll ever meet. I work harder than anyone—plus, I love money. And you know I’m loyal to a fault. You couldn’t ask for a better CEO. At the very least, you know I’ll never steal from you. Or steal your man.”

Victoria chuckled. “Alright, alright. I trust you.”

Ailie tried to tamp down her excitement and asked quietly, “Are you serious? Three hundred and fifty grand? I won’t be expected to, you know, do anything...compromising, will I?”

Victoria couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s a tech company, not a burlesque club. We make money with our brains, not our bodies.”

Ailie nodded eagerly. “Don’t worry, boss. I won’t let you down.”
