She glanced at Millie with a cool detachment. “She’s wound so tight these days, all because of those rumors.”
Kirsten just shrugged. “Honestly, if you haven’t done anything wrong, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
The way she’s acting, jumping at every shadow—clearly, there’s a guilty conscience at play.
“Alexander even looked back at you, so what if people are calling her a homewrecker?” Kirsten added. “Is that supposed to be your fault too?”
Danielle smiled lightly. “That’s his business, not mine.”
There was no reason to let someone else’s drama eat away at her.
Once the conversation died down, Millie sat rigid in her chair, feeling the weight of a hundred invisible eyes boring into her back. She was suddenly convinced she had become the center of attention, the subject of everyone’s whispered jokes.
Alexander turned slightly, casting Millie a sidelong glance.
He had a knack for reading people.
“No need to be nervous,” Alexander said softly.
His tone was calm, yet strangely comforting.
Just those few words, even if they didn’t directly address her fears, settled something inside Millie. It was proof that he was paying attention to her, worried she might be too anxious, too caught up in what everyone else thought.
Millie took a slow, steady breath, willing herself to relax.
“Sorry to keep everyone waiting.”
At that moment, Chairman White of the Aerospace Institute walked in, trailed by a small group of government officials.
Danielle paused, caught off guard by his arrival. Millie’s heart skipped a beat.

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!...
