The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 456

Victoria felt as if the ground had been ripped out from under her.

Her grandfather was gone. Her mother and aunt had both been in a car accident.

She’d always believed it was all just a string of terrible coincidences—until her aunt told her to her face that her mother and grandfather had both died because of Simms.

She’d had her suspicions before, but with no evidence, she could only bury them deep inside. Now, with her aunt awake and saying it herself, Victoria believed her completely.

“Aunt Emily, are you sure?”

Just then, the doctor came in. After a thorough examination, he turned to Victoria and said, “Everything looks good. Frankly, it’s a miracle she woke up at all.”

Stein entered the room, having heard the news.

“As long as she gets proper care, she’ll recover bit by bit. She’s been bedridden for a long time, so her body will need rehab. Keep a close eye on her, and she should be fine.”

Victoria and Stein both thanked the doctor. Emily, unable to wait any longer, grabbed Victoria’s hand.

“Vicky, that bastard tried to have your mother and me killed. He never imagined I’d survive.”

Thinking of Edith, her sister now gone, Emily couldn’t stop the tears from streaming down her face.

Victoria looked at her and broke down crying as well.

“There was no proof of foul play at the time. The coroner and the police both said it was a hundred percent accident.”

Stein listened quietly, connecting the dots in his mind.

Maybe Simms hadn’t targeted McNeil specifically at first—after all, the Langford family was losing ground. They just needed Violet to mingle among the rich young heirs, let fate decide, like picking a name out of a hat: whoever showed interest in her, she’d go with.

Simms got lucky. McNeil and Randy Langford were in a near-fatal accident, and Simms sent Violet to “save” the day, ensuring she was there at the right moment.

Nothing ever came of Violet and McNeil, though. Later, at a gala, McNeil met Victoria, and she fell for him at first sight. The old man, McNeil’s grandfather, knew everything about her before she even introduced herself.

Victoria had thought her identity was a well-kept secret, but the old man had her investigated inside out the moment she showed interest in McNeil.

Back then, the Turner family was riding high. Edith’s father, Mann Turner, had Victoria study finance at home and abroad, grooming her as his successor. Simms—if we’re being honest—was no more than Mann’s puppet.

But Simms was still a man, and men have desires. As Mann’s health failed, Simms hastened his end.

Then he orchestrated a car crash that killed his own wife, clearing the way for himself to take over as Chairman of Golden Era Enterprises.
