The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 389

When it came to her daughter's reputation, Danielle would never back down.

Alexander’s gaze was dark and inscrutable as he looked at her, saying nothing.

Danielle only meant to give him a warning—he might not even know the rumors were already spreading.

But eventually, he’d hear them.

In high society, gossip traveled at the speed of light.

Danielle finished speaking and didn't wait for Alexander’s response. She simply turned on her heel and walked away.

Running into him in a place like this already felt like bad luck; she had no desire to waste another word on him.

—

Danielle and her mother had a productive meeting with The Northrop Group, finalizing the details of their upcoming partnership.

On the drive home, Niki’s eyes sparkled, her entire face radiating happiness.

“You like spending time with Jarvis?” Danielle asked.

Niki nodded eagerly. “Jarvis is always so nice to me.”

Nicer than Raffy ever was.

She was just beginning to realize how vast the difference could be between people.

Before, Raffy was the only brother she cared about, always trying to get on his good side, hoping it would make their father love her more.

But now, she understood—she didn’t have to win anyone over. Just like her mother always said, the people who truly loved her would care for her no matter what.

Seeing her daughter so cheerful, Danielle felt a wave of relief. Niki was growing up. Gone were the days when she’d cry herself to sleep, missing her father, full of uncertainty and longing.

Back then, all Danielle could do was sit beside her, offering empty words of comfort that never seemed enough. Niki had to work through it on her own.

But now, things were different.

Niki had adapted to this new life—a life without her father or her brother.

The next morning, bright and early.

Danielle arrived at Ninesky to check on the project’s progress.

Millie eyed her with suspicion.

She replied coldly, “This is too important. I won’t discuss it with you.”

She couldn’t believe Gian had actually left Danielle in charge of the company.

Was he really willing to risk the whole business falling apart?

“Give me Gian’s number,” Millie demanded. “If this is about a major partnership, I want to talk to him personally.”

Danielle leaned back in her chair, unruffled. “How serious can it be? Is AetherX Dynamics on the verge of bankruptcy, so you’re looking for a cash injection?”

Millie had dressed up the proposal as a resource-sharing partnership.

But Danielle cut straight to the truth.

“You’re not qualified to negotiate with me,” Millie said icily. “If you don’t take this seriously, we’ll just share our technology with someone else. When Gian gets back and finds out you messed this up, he’ll make you pay for it.”

“AetherX Dynamics is ahead of the curve now,” Millie continued, arms crossed, chin held high. “Everyone’s going to want to partner with us. This is your chance, and you’d better not waste it.”
