The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 421

Danielle knew better than anyone that Jake was a man of fairness and integrity.

But she was also painfully aware of what Alexander was capable of.

Jake couldn’t protect her forever.

If Alexander wanted revenge, he could strike at any moment—they had an agreement, after all.

There was absolutely no reason for her to take such a risk now.

“No,” Danielle replied, lifting her gaze.

Even so, anyone with half a brain could see the truth—she was being threatened.

And everyone knew Millie was, in every sense, the other woman, the one who intruded on a marriage.

The rumors were all but confirmed, hammered in by Mr. Davidson himself in front of everyone.

Millie’s face was ashen, her whole demeanor that of a clown in the wrong spotlight.

She’d come expecting to bask in glory today.

Instead, she’d been utterly humiliated, and not just in front of a few people—this was in front of the entire upper circle. How could she ever face them again?

At that moment, Alexander stepped forward, right in front of everyone, and reached for Danielle’s hand.

His grip was warm, his palm almost feverish against her skin.

A chill ran down Danielle’s spine, but she couldn’t pull away.

Alexander wore a gentle smile as he looked at his father. “There’s nothing to worry about, Father. Danielle and I are just fine.”

His words were slow and deliberate, as if to prove that there was nothing improper about their marriage.

Millie’s face went even paler. Alexander’s gesture was an unspoken slap in the face.

She clenched her fists, forcing herself to stay calm.

Alex was only trying to protect her.

She couldn’t let herself be labeled the other woman.

Her position was already shaky at best.

Taking a deep breath, Millie spoke up to defend herself. “I really don’t know where these rumors started. Alex and I grew up together—we’re just old friends. Maybe I’m a bit too outgoing, so people misread our closeness. But someone’s obviously taken advantage and twisted it into something ugly.”

“If I find out who it is, I’ll take them to court for slander.”

Her face changed so quickly it was almost comical.

People around the room couldn’t help but laugh.

Just a moment ago she was acting like Mrs. Davidson; now, suddenly, she’s blaming others for gossip?

How foolish.

He remained silent, his face calm and cold as ever.

Jake’s smile seemed easy as he turned to the guests. “Just a family matter, folks. Sorry for the scene. Please, enjoy yourselves.”

Then he looked once more at Millie’s family.

His words were measured, but there was no mistaking the order. “Please show them out.”

Millie’s face went rigid again.

She suddenly felt weak, her whole body trembling.

She looked desperately at Alexander—surely he wouldn’t just let her be thrown out.

Liam, too, was stunned. He’d never expected Mr. Davidson to make such a decision.

Did he have some misunderstanding about Millie? And hadn’t he known exactly how Danielle married into the Davidson family in the first place?

To cast Millie out like this seemed almost too harsh.

But in this situation, Liam couldn’t say a word.

Alexander hadn’t spoken up, either.

At that moment, Alexander’s gaze shifted to Millie.
