Gian glanced down at his phone, then turned to Danielle. "My dad needs me for a bit. Why don't you look around? I'll come find you later."
Danielle nodded. "Go ahead, take care of what you need."
Once Gian left, Danielle continued wandering among the exhibits.
Suddenly, voices drifted in from the entrance.
"Mr. Davidson is here. Is that his girlfriend with him?"
Danielle instinctively glanced over her shoulder.
Alexander strode in, impeccably dressed in a black suit, looking as composed and elegant as ever. Millie walked beside him, her blue dress perfectly matching the pattern and color of Alexander's tie.
Clearly, they were wearing coordinated outfits—a classic couple's look.
They really did make quite the striking pair.
Behind them trailed Liam, whose company, Cloudpath, was one of the industry's top players. It made sense he'd show up to an event like this.
Someone in the crowd whispered, "Of course that's his girlfriend. Look at their matching outfits. They're perfect together."
A faint, sarcastic smile tugged at the corners of Danielle's lips.
She remembered how she used to deliberately match her clothes to Alexander's, only for him to complain that he hated it. After that, she'd given up the idea—she thought he just disliked anyone resembling him in any way.
Turns out, he just didn't like her.
Danielle looked away, her expression flat and indifferent. Whatever Alexander did now had nothing to do with her.
She focused on the exhibits, taking her time as she moved through the hall. There was so much to see—cutting-edge technology, the latest machinery, innovative systems.
When she spotted a small drone running on the first-generation system she'd helped develop, Danielle stopped short.
She could still recall the thrill of creating it—the way it had solved the persistent problem of drones' limited range and battery life, dramatically improving their operational capabilities. The military had even started using it in real missions.
She hadn't expected to see it here. Reaching out, she tried to touch it.
She didn't spare him another glance. She had no intention of getting dragged into their drama here. Without another word, she turned and walked away.
Liam sneered at her retreating back. "Who spoiled her like this? No talent, just an attitude that gets worse by the day."
—
Today's summit wasn't just attended by Mr. Wilson; two senior aides to national leaders were also present.
Danielle was genuinely surprised—what had drawn such heavyweights to an industry conference like this?
After giving a speech about new policies, Mr. Wilson announced he had another meeting and made a beeline for the backstage, flanked by security.
He clearly wanted to avoid being mobbed for connections and favors.
As they walked, Mr. Wilson's secretary leaned in, professionalism in every word. "Are you sure you don't want to stay a bit longer? What if the person you're looking for actually shows up?"
Mr. Wilson shook his head. "Even if he does, I doubt he'll make an appearance today."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell
Where is Chapter 545 - 554? I thought there'll be 9-10 chapters per update....
I knew it! He’s in love with her but he thinks she loves his brother!...
Oh poor Bianca... regrets, regrets :)...
This is it! Revenge. Way to go Dani....
OMG! Chapters 451-462 had me on edge. I wish we could also read Alexander's POV. I swear I want to punch him and Millie. This story is kind of a push and pull. The main character will win some, then lose some. Hope the writer gives Danielle a big win....
I hope not a lot of important dialogues get cut out, especially between Danielle and Alexander. But I can't complain, really. Thank you again for the updates....
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!...
