The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 302

“Emberwick, you came all the way here and didn’t even let me know. I would’ve loved to play host,” Harold said, glancing at him with a friendly smile. “You’re here for the hot springs too, right? Want to join us?”

In their line of work, Millie naturally knew Harold.

She greeted him politely, and Harold returned the gesture with equal courtesy.

Harold always seemed to carry a gentle, easygoing air about him. Millie couldn’t help but think he really did live up to his reputation—approachable, just as people said.

Alexander glanced at Danielle and the others, giving a faint, noncommittal smile. “We wouldn’t want to intrude on Mr. Chapman while he’s entertaining guests.”

Harold tilted his head, grinning. “Since when did you get so formal with me?”

Alexander’s eyes held Harold’s for a moment, then he shot back, “Are we really that close?”

Harold had no intention of forcing the issue if they didn’t want to join.

At that moment, Millie spoke up. “If you don’t mind me asking, Mr. Chapman, are you here with guests—?”

Harold let out a soft “oh,” as if just remembering, and then introduced them at an unhurried pace. “They’re from the Ninesky R&D Division, our partners at Vanguard Technologies.”

“They’re here in Deepdale on business, and since I’m playing host, I thought I’d show them around a bit.”

“You probably know them too—didn’t you work together on the Northridge City public project?”

Partners?!!

Liam’s eyes went wide. Since when was Ninesky collaborating with Vanguard Technologies?

He hadn’t heard a single rumor. No one had.

Narrowing his eyes, Liam looked over at Gian.

“That’s not always true.” Liam gave Keegan a sidelong look. “Some people have no business holding the positions they do.”

“I heard Danielle’s scrambling to write a grad school thesis now, probably because she doesn’t have any real skills. Just another socialite trying to use academia to climb the ladder. And she’s not the only one—there are plenty like her.”

“If Danielle wasn’t such a shallow gold-digger, she would’ve just dropped out and married Alex. If she really cared about research, she’d have put her head down and studied hard, like Millie did, instead of chasing after men and trying to catch up now.”

“Now, it’s too late for all that.”

Liam laid Danielle bare with his analysis.

And to outsiders, that’s exactly how it looked.

If Danielle had truly wanted to pursue research, why hadn’t she focused on her studies from the start? Only now, at this juncture, was she suddenly interested in furthering her education.

It didn’t take a genius to figure out her real motives.
