Danielle rubbed her temples and shot a look at Liam. “Sometimes I wonder if you should see a neurologist. After all, it’s pitiful being this dense for so many years.”
With that, she took Kirsten’s arm and strode off.
Liam just gave a derisive laugh, convinced they were acting out of nothing but embarrassment at getting caught.
No sooner had Kirsten stepped outside than she started venting. “Honestly, do they have any brains at all? No wonder they can’t produce any real research—just copycats, the lot of them.”
Danielle hadn’t expected Millie would stoop so low as to outright plagiarize her technology. Academic papers were meant to be referenced, sure, but cutting-edge system code? Danielle had no idea how Millie had even gotten her hands on it.
Back in her apartment, Danielle meticulously compared the files, gathering the evidence she’d need. As Kirsten had pointed out, if the accusation of plagiarism stuck this time, AetherX Dynamics would have to halt every single project.
A complete project freeze meant the whole company would grind to a standstill. With the contractual penalties in play, the outcome was obvious: it would be clear who won and who lost.
Danielle skimmed through the financial news, which covered every detail of the AetherX Dynamics launch event. The comments section below, though, was vicious.
["I guess even mistresses can start their own companies these days. Heard she’s using someone else’s husband’s money, too."]
["No real talent, just parades around like she’s the queen. Wonder how many perks she’s scored with that title."]
["Who doesn’t know the type? Manipulative, riding the coattails of ‘brotherly’ connections to get close to married men."]
["Seen plenty like her—gold diggers, living off men, no real ability. So what if she has two PhDs? With enough cash, anyone can buy a diploma."]
Each comment cut sharper than the last. The modern world had zero tolerance for homewreckers; once someone got branded as one, the public would relentlessly pile on.

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!...
