Millie paused, caught off guard.
Raffy broke the silence. “Lately, I feel like my grades are slipping. Sure, maybe I’ll have a comfortable life one day and grades won’t matter, but I still don’t want to fall behind everyone else.”
Especially not behind Monica.
He’d always come in first before, always left Monica far behind. Now, with Monica ahead of him, he couldn’t help feeling resentful.
And then there was his stepmother—she was probably thrilled about all this.
He was determined to make her regret not choosing him, regret taking Monica instead.
One day, he’d outshine Monica in every way.
Millie tried to comfort him. “I can help you study. With my help, you’ll definitely be better than Monica.”
She added, “And you can always ask your dad for help—he’s even better at this.” With a gentle smile, Millie led Raffy over to Alexander. “Isn’t that right, Dad?”
Raffy blinked up at his father, wide-eyed. “Really, Dad?”
Alexander looked down and smiled. “Your mom’s the real expert.”
Just then, Danielle and the others came offstage and caught the whole exchange.
Jarvis glanced over, then suddenly raised his voice. “Monica, your name and Rafferty’s are almost the same—are you two siblings?”
“If you are, why doesn’t Rafferty call your mom ‘Mom’?”
His question drew looks from both Millie and Leanne.
Danielle frowned slightly.
Niki, however, didn’t seem bothered at all. Without missing a beat, she offered a bright, sugary smile. “No, Rafferty and I aren’t siblings—it’s just a coincidence about the names.”
Her eyes crinkled as she spoke, cheerful and unbothered.
Jarvis still looked puzzled. “So what about your dad? Is his last name Davidson too?”
Niki pressed her lips together for a moment. “Mom says my dad’s been gone for a long time.”

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!...
