The old man’s words weren’t without reason.
What people fear most in this world is living inside an echo chamber—cut off from information everyone else takes for granted.
There are countless channels and opportunities that ordinary folks never even hear about.
Danielle gave the old man a gentle smile. “Thank you, but I’d like her to make her own choice.”
Mr. Hawthorne had already taken Niki under his wing, promising her a spot in his prestigious mentorship program—an opportunity that came with national recognition. For Niki to suddenly change course now would hardly be fair.
Amidst the noisy, bustling crowd, they stood together. The old man hadn’t expected Danielle to turn him down so quickly. Most people, in her place, would have jumped at the chance and showered him with flattery.
Not that he craved admiration—he simply found this young woman refreshingly different from the rest.
“Grandpa!” Jarvis came sprinting over from the competition hall, glancing around eagerly. “Where’s Dad?”
“He’s waiting outside,” the old man answered.
Niki strolled out at her own pace, a bright smile lighting up her face.
“Mom, wasn’t I amazing? I didn’t let you or Professor Hawthorne down!” she announced, pride bubbling in her voice.
Danielle’s heart softened at her daughter’s delight. “You were fantastic.”
The old man turned to Danielle, his tone warm. “We already have each other’s contact info, and I think we get along well. If you ever run into trouble, don’t hesitate to reach out.”
“My last name is Northrop,” he added casually.
Danielle paused, surprised.
The Northrop family of Northridge City—nearly as prominent as the Davidsons. Generation after generation, they’d been involved in government and public service. Still, she wasn’t sure if this Northrop was from *that* Northrop family.
She nodded politely. “Thank you, that’s very kind.”
Nearby, the two children were deep in conversation, swapping phone numbers with their phones.

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!...
