Millie frowned. “Mr. Liam isn’t wrong.”
Harold turned to Alexander. “Is this your girlfriend?”
Alexander’s dark eyes were unreadable and cold. He just looked back at Harold, saying nothing.
Harold chuckled, taking Alexander’s silence as an answer. “Your taste has certainly changed… quite a bit.”
He was always the picture of elegance and civility, but his words carried a subtle edge.
Millie found his comments grating, but she kept her expression composed, her brows drawing tighter.
The group moved on, walking away together.
Millie couldn’t help but wonder why Harold seemed so invested in Danielle.
“My guess? Gian’s been whispering in Mr. Chapman’s ear about how brilliant Danielle is, and Mr. Chapman believed him,” Liam said, breaking the silence. “But Mr. Chapman doesn’t know them the way we do. He’s missing the real story.”
“Gian’s got a reputation in the field, after all. If he says Danielle’s talented, Mr. Chapman is bound to take it at face value.” Liam clicked his tongue. “Let’s just hope Mr. Chapman isn’t too disappointed in the end. Gian’s always been the type to let his impulses cloud his judgment.”
Millie brushed off the whole episode. She never really took Danielle seriously anyway.
In the end, the results would speak for themselves.
She just felt that Danielle was getting a bit too full of herself.
Gian had handed her shortcut after shortcut, letting her ego swell to the point where she actually dared to enter a competition as big as the ISSDS.
Did Danielle really think this was just a game?
There were still two hours to go before the competition started.
The participants were gathering in groups, discussing strategies and sizing up the competition.
Industry heavyweights were arriving, making the atmosphere even more electric.
Alexander handed Millie a glass of water.
She smiled sweetly at him. “Thanks, Alex.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell
I'm already in chapter 432 ATM and I have the impression that the story is so slow. Daniele remains in the dark, her reputation is low and inexistent, her accomplishment and professional abilities are stiĺl hidden, her enemies are taking the joy in humiliatihg her. No evolution in the plot? Please don't stay long in this,readers might lose interest in the long run....
Please update...
The last chapter was too short. More pls. Thank you....
Lovin' this. More more pls!...
