BookToReadChapter 408 Violet thought she must have misheard. When it finally sank in that McNeil had actually agreed to marry her, she was so overjoyed that she burst into tears.
"What do I need to prepare?" It seemed she'd made the right move. Once she and McNeil held the wedding, she'd have to thank Kelvin properly.
"You don't need to prepare anything." McNeil drove Violet back to her apartment. When they arrived downstairs, she gazed at him with longing. "Are you not staying tonight?" He shook his head. "No. You're still recovering-you need rest. Don't worry about the company for now." Panic flickered across Violet's face. "No, I have to go to V&S Group. I know I only have three months left, but I want to make every day count while I'm still here.
McNeil, you know I'm not like Victoria-I don't want to live off a man." McNeil's eyes were cold as ice. He looked at Violet, his voice devoid of warmth. "There's no comparison between you and her. Get srest." With that, McNeil turned away, got into his car, and didn't look back.

"McNeil proposed totoday. We'll be having a wedding soon. I don't know if you'll have tto attend." There was no reply, but Violet knew Victoria had seen the message.
Whether she cor not didn't matter; it wasn't really an invitation.
Violet just wanted her to know that in this relationship with McNeil, she was the winner.
All those years Victoria had longed for McNeil's recognition and never got it- while Violet had achieved it without even trying.
Who cared about a marriage certificate? Their grand wedding would be the talk of high society in Starfall City. From the moment McNeil agreed, Violet had already tipped off the press. Even though he hadn't formally proposed yet, she'd anonymously told the media that Mr. Langford from high society was about to make a big move-rumor had it he was proposing to his girlfriend, Violet.
Once the date was set, she would make it public, inviting every news outlet in Starfall City.
She'd arrange for the wedding to be livestreamed, watched by people all over the world.
The thought made her so giddy she couldn't sleep.
That snight, Victoria had fallen into a deep sleep on her living room chaise. She slept so soundly that she didn't hear her phone buzzing again and again beside her.

Yasmine walked by and noticed the glowing screen. She She meant to just switch it off but accidentally saw the EM! message from Violet.
When Yasmine read that McNeil had proposed, she was both shocked and angry. What was. Violet trying to prove? Ms. Turner and McNeil were already divorced, yet Violet still insisted on rubbing it in.
Yasmine glanced at Victoria's pregnant belly. She was due in just two months. What it Ms. Turner saw this and got so upset it hurt the baby? That Violet Marchand was absolutely despicable.
For the first time, Yasmine took it upon herself to delete every message from Violet, and even blocked her number.
How dare someone like her try to show off in front of Ms. Turner.
She gently set Victoria's phone back beside her, then quietly left the room to call Ailie.
Ailie, meanwhile, was at home, enjoying a face mask and a bowl of fruit.
