The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 386

The moment he spoke, both Leanne and Millie’s faces hardened, their expressions turning cold and tight.

He’d made his stance abundantly clear—there was no way they could shamelessly linger here any longer.

Vivian glanced at Leanne and offered a cool, knowing smile. “Ms. Leanne, with all your talent, surely missing out on one deal won’t matter. Especially now that Mr. Davidson’s invested—business is booming. Why let this one setback weigh so heavily?”

Her words struck exactly where it hurt most, twisting the knife right into their sore spot.

Leanne’s lips lost all color.

Danielle had kept silent from the beginning, always playing the part of the detached outsider. She watched from the sidelines with unreadable eyes, as if this was all some private joke at their expense.

That only made Millie’s discomfort grow sharper, a knot tightening in her chest.

Just then Alexander finished his phone call and strode back over, immediately noticing the dark looks on Millie and Leanne’s faces. He slipped his phone into his pocket, his tone even and calm. “Didn’t manage to close the deal?”

Raffy bit his lip. “Dad…”

But now, after offending everyone—

A heavy frustration pressed on her chest as she realized how thoroughly her mother’s scene had burned all their bridges.

Alexander didn’t bother responding.

He simply looked at Millie and asked, “Where to? I’ll have the driver take you.”

“And you—?”

“I have things to handle at the office.”

Millie’s face tightened, the humiliation catching up with her. She realized just how badly they’d embarrassed themselves—not just herself, but Alexander too.

They’d started with the best intentions for Raffy, but everything had backfired. Caleb got to watch the whole debacle unfold, and Danielle and Vivian walked away with everything they wanted.

Alexander left, and Leanne watched his retreating figure with a sinking heart.

She turned to Millie, closing her eyes in resignation. “Millie, if your company doesn’t start generating revenue soon, Intellectech is going under. You have to ask Alex for help—”
