Would Dad actually praise her for how well she'd done today?
Danielle saw Alexander blocking the driver's side door and glanced at him. "Is there something you need?"
Alexander's gaze dropped to her hand—no wedding ring. His tone grew even colder. "Come home with me."
"Did you hit your head and forget something?"
Danielle looked up at him, ready to bring up the divorce agreement, but with Niki standing there, she didn't want to fight with Alexander in front of her.
She took a steadying breath. "Move."
"You're still not satisfied with how things were handled today?"
His voice was calm, as if they were discussing what to have for lunch.
Danielle let out a sharp laugh and set the things in her hand down on the hood of the car, meeting his eyes. "Alexander, do you really think the way you handled things was some kind of favor to Niki?"
"The truth is Raffy messed up and then accused Niki of cheating. He was the one who pushed her first. You can't just turn a blind eye to right and wrong because you favor Raffy."
Alexander stared at her in silence. "Raffy turned out this way because of your parenting, didn't he?"
"If you treated Niki and Raffy equally, do you really think there'd be such a gap between them?"
Danielle laughed, hollow and tired.
So he thought she was the one playing favorites.
After all these years of raising the kids and holding the family together, this was what she got.
"Alexander, the first one to play favorites with the kids was you."
He crossed his arms and gave her a thin, amused smile. "So what, you're jealous I took Raffy to see Millie?"
"Raffy being close to Millie was bound to happen." He fixed his gaze on Danielle. "He's still your son if you let him be."
"But you shouldn't take things out on Millie, or blame Raffy because of her."
Danielle's lips curled in a cold, mocking smile.
So now she was the unreasonable one?
He'd come to settle scores, all for Millie and her son.
Sure, Raffy was Millie's biological child—of course they'd be close.
She never wanted to trouble Helen—she was getting old, and Danielle didn't want to add to her worries.
The only time Alexander ever helped her mother's company was because Helen had insisted on it.
"Great-Grandma?" Niki tugged at Danielle's sleeve with a soft, childlike voice. "Mommy, I haven't seen Great-Grandma in so long. I miss her…"
Alexander interjected, "Are you going to let a child be more thoughtful than you? Grandma had that bracelet made for Niki—shouldn't she go and see her?"
Danielle looked down at Niki and frowned slightly. "Fine. I understand."
"Where are you staying?" Alexander asked. "I'll have my assistant bring your car over."
"That's not necessary," Danielle said coolly. "I'll drive myself."
Once upon a time, she would have been thrilled to ride with Alexander back to the old house.
Now, she avoided him as if he were poison.
Alexander took in her cold, closed-off expression and narrowed his eyes.
"In that case, Niki, you'll ride with me."

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!...
