Chapter 446 From the moment Violet was claimed by Yulia and Simms, her life seemed to be on an unstoppable upward trajectory.
Since her teenage years, she hadn't faced a single setback-especially with Yulia's strategic guidance, every step she took was calculated, every move secure.
Having completely lost her place with the McNeils, and now back with the Millers where both Simms and Yulia looked down on her, Violet had snapped. She lashed out at them with a fury that bordered on madness.
"You say I'm useless? Look at yourself! You talk yourself up, acting like you've got everything under control, but you still lost Dad to another woman. If you're so capable, why don't you win him back?" "And what about Victoria, that little witch? You think you're so powerful? Well, I'm done fighting her. I want her gone. Tell me, how much would it take to make her disappear? We'll figure it out. Mom, I'm your daughter-your only real family now. You have to help me, and I'll help you."

Suddenly, Yulia looked at Violet and smiled, gentle and conspiratorial.
"That's my girl. You're right. Our enemies are your father's mistress and that viper, Victoria. If her mother hadn't stolen your father fromall those years ago, you wouldn't have been left in the countryside, and I wouldn't have spent my life alone. We've finally pulled ourselves out of misery-why should we let someone else enjoy the riches that are rightfully ours?" She stroked Violet's cheek lovingly. "Don't worry, sweetheart. Your father's not young anymore. I doubt any woman truly cares for him—it's all about his money." Yulia had endured decades of humiliation. She wasn't about to let it end like this.
Evermore City Victoria never imagined that when she opened her eyes, she'd see McNeil-and their daughter, whom she hadn't seen in nearly six months.
"Mama!" Gwyneth, who seemed to have grown taller, ran to her with shining eyes and tears brimming. "Mama, you haven't chome... Did you stop loving me?" Her voice trembled, but as soon as she noticed the two tiny babies in Victoria's hospital room, her sadness vanished in a blink, curiosity taking over.
"Who are they?" "Your brother and sister," McNeil replied, voice thick with emotion as he glanced at the newborns in their cribs. Gwyneth forgot what she'd wanted to say to Victoria. All her attention had shifted to the babies.

"Thank you, Victoria." McNeil looked at Victoria, unable to resist taking her hand and pressing it to his chest. Victoria tried to pull away, but he was stronger.
