The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 423

Danielle lifted her gaze slowly, her eyes calm and unfazed as she looked at him. "Do you really think what happened to her today was my doing?"

Once Millie left, the room erupted into even more whispers and murmurs.

Jake was the first to usher people out, and Alexander made no effort to stop them; not a single person spoke up in Millie’s defense.

It couldn’t have been clearer: Millie had thrown herself at Alexander without an ounce of shame.

Alexander had meticulously planned for a future with Millie, doing everything he could to make their relationship legitimate in the eyes of everyone. And now, thanks to Millie’s own actions, all of that effort had gone to waste.

His eyes, dark and unreadable, fixed on Danielle in silence.

Danielle’s gaze remained cool and indifferent. She could easily guess what was going through his mind: he blamed her for Millie’s humiliation, for the mess that had unfolded.

She let out a cold laugh. "Trust me, I didn’t come here to watch your drama. I just didn’t realize Mr. Davidson had a thing for the clueless types."

If Alexander didn’t love her, it wasn’t her fault.

Besides, she wasn’t exactly opposed to the idea of divorce.

But Alexander seemed desperate to flaunt his relationship with Millie, as if he couldn’t bear to be apart from her for even a moment. Was it the confidence of being someone’s favorite, the kind of love that refuses to let go? Or was it truly just a brotherly bond, one that Millie had hopelessly misunderstood?

It didn’t matter to Danielle. Whatever the truth was, it was no longer her concern.

Alexander’s voice was quiet. "Is that really how you see it?"

Danielle realized that, at this point, her opinion didn’t matter. Whatever was going on between them had nothing to do with her anymore, and that was just fine.

"Dani, come here a moment," Jake called to her then, waving her over.

Still, when opportunity knocks, there’s no reason not to answer. Whether Chairman White was interested in her as a Davidson or as a Ninesky Technologies employee didn’t matter—the connection was made.

Danielle and Chairman White exchanged a few words, swapped contact details, and soon fell into an in-depth conversation about industry policy.

Jake listened in silence, watching Danielle with a subtle look of approval in his eyes.

The more Danielle spoke with Chairman White, the more she realized how important it was for any company to understand national policy and direction. Knowing which way the wind was blowing could make or break a business.

Not far away, Alexander was silently watching them. His gaze lingered, unreadable.

Liam, holding a glass of wine, couldn’t quite make sense of what he was seeing. "Why is your dad introducing her to someone like that? Does he really think she can make use of those connections?"

He genuinely didn’t get it. Jake, of all people, should know Danielle’s background—an undergraduate with little to her name, hardly someone impressive.
