NovelUpdateChapter 457 Perhaps fate finally showed a bit of mercy to the Turner family. After Victoria married McNeil, she helped propel the Langford Group to becthe wealthiest family in Starfall City. McNeil's career soared; he was untouchable, and no one dared to challenge him.
Because of that, Simms didn't dare move against Victoria. With McNeil as her shield, there was little he could do. When Violet's relationship with McNeil ended and McNeil married Victoria instead, Simms simply cut all ties with Victoria and the Langford family.
It wasn't until Violet returned to Starfall City and caught McNeil's attention again that Simms reconnected with the Langfords.
Yet, in the end, Simms never got the marriage alliance he'd been scheming for.

Victoria's eyes were rimmed red, bloodshot from holding back tears.
"Deserve it? He's already taken more than he ever should have. And he still wants more-how greedy can one man be?" If it hadn't been for Mann insisting the Turner family find a man they could control, there would've been no reason to oppose Edith marrying into the Campbell family.
Mann's greatest regret, even at the very end, was tearing his daughter away from the man she loved. In the end, he not only broke her heart-he got her killed.
And for a man who's willing to throw away every ounce of dignity for money and power, you have to be wary of what he'll do once he has it all. He'll turn on the very people who helped him climb up, seeing them not as benefactors but as enemies. The past becomes an embarrassment, a stain he can't wash away.
Victoria sat quietly on the only armchair in the hospital room, a bitter smile twisting her lips.
"I only ever wanted to get Yulia and Violet out of his life. After all, it was Yulia who made my mother suffer so much. But that wasn't it—not really. The truth is, Simms deserved to die from the very beginning." She'd been too soft, too naïve. She should have realized long ago that Simms was responsible for her mother's death.
What kind of man could ever care for a fake wife and a fake daughter? He'd married in the countryside, had a child with Yulia, kept her nearby under the pretense of a niece, and schemed to send her into high society without anyone suspecting a thing.
Simms was clever-just in all the wrong ways.
After Mann died, Simms could've simply talked to Edith. Maybe, for the Turner family's reputation, Edith would have let him manage Golden Era Enterprises, taking just a share of the profits for herself. They could have lived peacefully as a family. Cóntent But Simms had lost his humanity long ago.

Fiona had sent Victoria every video of her conversations with Simms in the villa he bought for her. Simms was consumed by greed now. There was no one in his heart but himself.
She'd thought he truly cared for Fiona, but he was just looking for a woman to bear him an heir.
The moment Fiona told him she couldn't have children, he disappeared, never looking back.

help her-no questions asked. "I won't let Simms get away with this. I want him dead."
Her voice was cold, but after a moment, Victoria regained a bit of composure and looked at Stein. "You don't need to take it to heart, big brother. I won't make you get your hands dirty. And I won't carry the burden of murder myself. At most, I'll let someone else do it for me."
