The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 455

Alexander had managed to quell the rumors and keep the criticism at bay.

Public opinion and clever PR could be powerful tools.

Now, everyone seemed to believe Millie moved in the same rarefied circles as Sophia.

But only industry insiders knew how wide that gap still was.

Alexander sat quietly to the side, his gaze soft and amused as he watched Millie, almost as if he saw her shining with brilliance—never once trying to steal the spotlight for himself.

Just then, Danielle walked out of the lounge and took in the scene before her.

She heard every word, nothing escaping her notice.

“She’s here,” someone whispered, catching sight of Danielle.

Bianca narrowed her eyes and turned, her gaze sharp. “I thought you’d left ages ago. Yet here you are again, desperate for attention. Alex was right to divorce you. You never had the slightest understanding of what it means to be a proper wife, and honestly, you’re just pitiful.”

“If you had any dignity left, you’d walk out of here yourself.”

Paula glanced at Danielle with a mocking smile. “You’re something else.”

No wonder she managed to worm her way into Alex’s bed in the first place, Paula thought.

Liam chimed in with a disdainful look. “What are you even doing here? We’re discussing technical matters. Do you even understand what we’re talking about? You keep forcing yourself into conversations you don’t belong in.”

Danielle stepped forward, her gaze cold and steady as she looked directly at Liam. “A discussion isn’t supposed to be a stage for you to show off. If you only want to hear yourself echoed, you might as well buy a smart speaker and entertain yourself at home.”

She turned her cool eyes to Bianca and Paula. “Funny how the stupidest people are always the first to lecture others about ‘having some dignity.’ I guess people are most eager to stick their own shortcomings onto someone else.”

“You—!”

“Excuse me?” Liam looked at her, as if he couldn’t believe his ears.

“Do you even know who you’re talking to? Who are you to lecture my sister?”

“And you—a college grad—how dare you challenge Millie? Honestly, you’ll never measure up to her. Discussing technical matters with you is pointless. Your ignorance is obvious.”

She didn’t know anything, but she sure had the nerve to speak up.

In the past, Danielle would never argue back, no matter what people said.

But today, she was suddenly bold—maybe she’d finally snapped.

Danielle listened to the snide remarks and let out a cold laugh. “Millie’s a top-tier scientist. How many buildings do you think our country’s aerospace institute has? You all love to harp on about degrees, but what’s so special about that, really?”

Jake shot Alexander a cool, cutting glance.

Alexander sat with his legs crossed, dignified and aloof, as if nothing around him mattered.

The whole room fell silent, eyes fixed on the newcomers.

Chairman White’s presence was likely a courtesy to Jake. A visit from a national figure of his stature was a testament to the Davidson family’s standing.

“Chairman White.” Millie’s face broke into a bright smile as she caught sight of him.

“It’s an honor to have you at our graduation celebration.”

She spoke with all the poise of a hostess, glancing at Alexander, who showed no reaction—his silence an unspoken approval.

Chairman White’s attendance at the celebration was a rare show of support for Raffy and his family. Their future would be smooth from here on out.

Millie glanced over at Danielle, her look laced with cold disdain—her own status, her heights, were things Danielle could only dream of attaining.

But Chairman White’s expression remained inscrutable as he strode right past Millie.

He looked at Danielle and his face broke into a warm, grandfatherly smile. “Congratulations on your daughter’s graduation. With the Blackwood Research Institute’s satellite launch coming up, I wanted to be here in person to celebrate with the chief engineer’s family.”
