The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1332

Alexander's face was terrifyingly grim. He fell silent for a moment before speaking in a low, hard voice. "Ignore her. She's up to no good."

"I'll have someone keep a close eye on her. We need to find out the real reason she's suddenly decided to stay."

Danielle nodded, but a dark premonition coiled in the pit of her stomach.

Ella's sudden burst of confidence was way too suspicious to be a bluff. That smug, victorious look on her face screamed that she was hiding some kind of trap.

Thanks to Ella's little interruption, breakfast turned into a heavy, subdued affair.

Even Niki and Raffy seemed to pick up on the tension between the adults. They quieted down, obediently eating the food on their plates.

Niki took a bite of her toast and tilted her head. "Mom, who was that lady? The way she looked at Dad was really weird."

Danielle gently stroked her daughter's hair. "Just someone we work with. Don't worry about it, sweetie. Eat up."

After breakfast, the family headed out to the ski slopes for the rest of the morning.

By early afternoon, seeing the kids sweating through their layers and their little faces flushed red from the cold, Danielle suggested they head back.

Alexander agreed. Ella's sudden appearance felt like a thorn in his side, leaving him on edge. He knew they couldn't stay here any longer.

After packing their bags, the group piled into the car and drove away from the resort.

As the SUV merged onto the highway, the snow-covered landscape blurred past the windows. Danielle leaned back against her seat, her mind racing with everything Ella had said that morning. She couldn't shake the restless feeling in her chest.

Suddenly, Alexander's phone rang. It was Charley.

He answered it. The tight line of his jaw immediately locked harder, his expression darkening with every word of Charley's report.

"What did you just say?"

"Are you absolutely sure? When did this happen?"

Whatever Charley said next caused the temperature in Alexander's eyes to plummet to freezing.

Hanging up the phone, Alexander slammed his foot onto the gas pedal.

The car lurched forward, picking up speed. Danielle instinctively grabbed her seatbelt.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Alexander took a deep breath, turning to look at her with a heavy, somber gaze. "Charley just got the news. Vanguard Technologies now belongs to Ella."

"The Reiko Group executed an overnight acquisition. As of this morning, Ella is the majority shareholder and the actual controlling force behind Vanguard Technologies."

"What?"

Danielle's pupils dilated in pure shock. "How is that even possible? Hasn't Vanguard Technologies always partnered with The Davidson Group?"
