The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 422

His gaze was dark and unreadable.

“I’ll have someone drive you home,” he said quietly.

Even now, his tone betrayed no hint of emotion.

Millie stared at Alexander in disbelief, her heart sinking like a stone. If she left tonight under these circumstances, her reputation in the industry would be finished.

Yet, there was one thing she had to admit: Danielle and Alexander looked every bit the picture-perfect couple—no sign of a third party anywhere. It was just that someone had mistaken her for one.

There was still room for maneuver, she told herself. Not everything was lost. But right now, things were messy and complicated.

In front of everyone, Millie was being thrown out of the Davidson family’s anniversary gala. How was she supposed to run AetherX Dynamics after this? Who would still want to do business with her?

Alexander didn’t walk Millie out himself. He left it to his assistant to escort Millie and her family out.

Millie and Leanne looked ashen, their faces tight with humiliation. Raffy stood to the side, silent and tense. Compared to his own father, he was far more afraid of his grandfather. At home, Jake Davidson was an unassailable authority; even speaking to him made Raffy nervous.

So when his grandfather scolded his mom, Raffy couldn’t understand, but he knew better than to say a word, let alone defend her. Still, from the things his grandfather said, it sounded like his mom had done something terribly wrong.

He could only watch as his mother was expelled in front of everyone.

Millie cast a long, heavy look at Raffy, then shot Danielle a glare full of resentment. In her mind, Danielle was the true culprit behind all this.

Danielle caught the bitter look and understood immediately—Millie was blaming her for everything.

In the end, Millie left, her unwillingness and anger written all over her face.

Millie slumped in her chair, weighed down by regret. One wrong move tonight had unraveled everything she’d worked for; all her careful planning had gone up in smoke. She shouldn’t have rushed things without making sure everyone was on the same page. Alex had been paving the way for her, but she’d pushed too hard—too soon. She’d misunderstood, and it had cost her dearly.

Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Millie forced calm into her voice.

“Mom, Alex won’t abandon me. You have to trust the bond we’ve had since childhood—and besides, there’s Raffy. He would never just turn his back on us. I know he wouldn’t.”

She pressed her fingers to her temples, trying to drive away the pulsing headache. There had to be a way out of this—there always was…

Back at the Davidson family’s anniversary gala, Alexander looked down at Danielle.

“So, are you satisfied with how things turned out?”
