The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 486 If the charges stuck, all of his assets would be frozen and handed over to the authorities. Once again, just as her dreams were within reach, everything slipped through Violet's fingers. She felt as if she might lose her mind.

Yulia, on the other hand, remained calm and unhurried, her expression unreadable as she watched Violet's distress.

"It's not over till it's over. No one knows how this will play out yet. We'll just have to see how things develop. Besides, the whole thing cout of nowhere-no warning at all. I suspect someone's digging into Simms' affairs behind the scenes." I'd already reached the sconclusion. Our eyes met, and the answer was clear.

Victoria.

Who else could possibly hate Simms enough to go this far? "Do you think Victoria already knows she and Simms aren't related by blood?" Yulia's face darkened.

"So what if she knows? Her mother was never a match for me, and if Victoria wants to cat me, let her try. Still, if Simms ends up behind bars, things could get tricky." After Yulia's relationship with Simms fell apart, she had no desire to stay at the company as his assistant, and Simms certainly didn't want her around anymore. Now, Violet was the only one left at Golden Era Enterprises, but even she had been pushed to the margins.

Violet had no power at Golden Era Enterprises. No one listened to her-if anything, her reputation was so toxic that people went out of their way to avoid her.

"So, what are we just supposed to accept this?" she demanded.

Yulia shot her a sharp glance. "What's the rush? Let's just see how things play out." But Violet didn't share Yulia's composure. She was anxious-desperate, even. "I'm leaving..." If Simms didn't fall, she'd have no future.

Yulia exhaled a thin stream of smoke toward the ceiling. "Alright." Watching Violet's young figure walk away, Yulia felt a mix of envy and bitterness. If only she were twenty years younger, she could still find a man to lean on. Now, all she could do was gamble on luck.

Simms was escorted out of Golden Era Enterprises in full view of his employees. He looked impeccable in his suit, calm and collected as always.

The business investigation officers, seeing his cooperation, didn't make things difficult for him—not even a pair of handcuffs.

But once Simms was brought to the detention center, he faced multiple charges and was denied bail.

The first person to visit him was, surprisingly, Yulia.

"Here to seeat my lowest?" Simms sneered.

Since his arrest, only his lawyer had bothered to stay in touch. No one else cared what happened to him. Even the young model he'd been seeing had cleared out his credit cards and vanished as soon as she caught wind of his troubles. Rumor had it she was on the run now, too.

Yulia's gaze was icy and distant.

"Simms, we were together for years. Sure, we never made it official on paper, but we lived as husband and wife and we have a daughter together. I'm willing to let go ofl.ne by your side. All I want is stand past. Even now, I'm willing to stand for things to go back to the way they were. I'll do everything I can to get you out of here." Her words were sincere, but Simms wasn't buying it.

"Save me? Don't makelaugh. We've been together long enough I know exactly what you're capable of. What, you think just because I'm down, you can cozy up and get back in my good graces? Don't think I don't know about you don't and your little affairs on the side-using my money to keep sboy toy. For all I know, Violet might not even be my kid. You only want to helpso you can worm your way back in. Well, it's not going to happen. No woman's ever going to make a fool of me, not now, not ever." Yulia's temper flared. "Violet is your daughter. If you don't believe me, go get a DNA test.

And if you hadn't been out chasing women, drinking and partying every night, do you think I'd have looked for comfort elsewhere?" Simms snorted. "So now my cheating's your excuse? Please. A man having a few flings on the side-especially someone as successful as me—is perfectly normal.

You don't get to pin everything on me. You're no angel yourself. Look at the mess you've made of things. I don't need your help." He stood up, refusing to even glance at her.

Yulia's voice shook with anger. "Simms, don't you dare regret this." If this was the end of the line, she had no reason to hold on to this man any longer.

Let him rot. Let him die for all she cared.

A guard led Simms through the iron door. He never once looked back at her.

"Fine, Simms. If you can be heartless, don't blme for being ruthless." met

Simms had burned their last bridge, and Yulia felt nothing left for him. She had been willing, if he'd only shown the slightest willingness to reconcile, to consider Violet's plan and start over. But now it was clear-there was nothing left to salvage. Simms could drop dead and she wouldn't shed a single tear. After all these years, this was her reward. She should have seen him for what he truly was a long tago.

Five days later, a flight from m Evermore City landed at Starfall International Airport.

Victoria stepped off the plane, setting foot on this land for the first tin nearly a year. A fush of emotion surged through her. "Vicky..." "Ms. Turner..." Ailie and Yasmine had cto meet her.

Standing beside Victoria was Emily, while a nanny wrangled three children.

Not far from the arrivals gate, a sleek black van waited. The window was halfway down, just enough to reveal the sharp lines of McNeil's face.

"Mr. Langford, it's your wife. Should I pull up?" the driver asked.

"No. Takeback to the office."
