Danielle almost laughed.
Of course she knew exactly what was going on.
But did that mean she was supposed to tiptoe around Millie and her son at every turn?
"Your mess has nothing to do with me."
She took Niki's hand and turned to leave without another word.
A moment earlier, Gian had texted to say there was an emergency meeting at the university—he couldn't make it, so he'd asked if a junior colleague could come in his place. Not wanting to trouble anyone, she simply declined.
She'd originally invited Gian to join in the parent-student activities, but with him out, the rest of the day's events would probably fall apart anyway.
No point wasting any more time getting tangled up with these people.
She'd barely taken a few steps when a group appeared at the door.
Danielle narrowed her eyes at the man leading them.
The school board had arrived.
The teachers, startled, rushed to greet them. "Principal—"
His sudden appearance made their hearts skip a beat.
With a stony face, the principal cut right to the chase. "Do school rules mean nothing just because someone has a powerful family?"
"The superintendent has already called me about this."
One teacher's back went cold. "We… we didn't approve everything Bianca wanted."
"You did the right thing."
The principal's gaze landed on Bianca. "This isn't a school that bows to influence. Rafferty slandered Monica in front of everyone, accusing her of cheating. He'll receive a formal warning."
"One more incident of bullying like this, and he's expelled."
Bianca's face darkened. "What are you suggesting? My grandson hasn't done anything of the sort. Siblings bicker—it's not the school's business!"
"Will you only admit you're wrong after the school's name gets dragged through the mud online?" the principal said, his tone sharp. "Power doesn't make you right."
Bianca hesitated.
She didn't think this was a big deal—just some online gossip. Even if it did make the rounds, she could always call in a few favors and have it drowned out by celebrity news.
"This is a family matter. My grandson should've been first, not my granddaughter. And since she pushed him, I want her to apologize. That's between us."
The principal watched Danielle's retreating figure, thinking he might have said a few kind words if she'd stayed.
He turned to the homeroom teacher. "Monica's a real talent. The school should give her special attention."
The teacher nodded. "Of course. Mr. Davidson is outstanding, and his daughter is too. We'll take good care of her."
The principal shook his head gently.
Excellence isn't inherited—not just a matter of whose child you are, but what you achieve for yourself.
—
Danielle and Niki headed to the classroom to gather their things.
Soon after, they made their way to the underground parking lot to leave.
When they reached the garage, Danielle spotted Alexander standing beside her car.
Tall and imposing in black, he looked completely out of place against the sleek lines of the luxury vehicle behind him.
Niki saw her father and faltered.
He was always so distant with her—cold, unreachable.

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!...
