His tone was calm and steady—not a question, but a statement. He knew the answer already.
Danielle almost found it amusing. They were divorced now, so did any of this really matter? How she saw him had never been important while they were married; after the divorce, there was even less reason to discuss it.
She had loved him deeply once, accepted every heartache without complaint. Now, she could only look back on her younger self with a mix of pity and disbelief at her own naivety.
They stood close—close enough that she could catch the crisp, familiar scent lingering on his shirt. Without a word, Danielle took a discreet step back, her expression unchanged, her smile cool and unreadable. “Does it really matter, Mr. Davidson?”
Her tone was distant, detached—matching his perfectly.
In that moment, they truly became strangers.
Alexander cast her a bland glance, his voice carrying a trace of chill. “You’re right. It doesn’t matter.”

Danielle hired a professional auditing team; they divided up the work efficiently.
Two days later, she received a call. Newsworld’s finances were spotless—no discrepancies, nothing but healthy, overflowing accounts.
She simply acknowledged the report and hung up.
Almost immediately, Alexander called, asking her to come to Newsworld to sign the contract.
Gian and Kirsten, poring over the financials, could hardly believe their eyes.
“So this is what a rich person’s company looks like?” Kirsten blinked, stunned. “What’s there to worry about with numbers like these? It’s like catching a windfall—just hold on tight and enjoy the ride.”
Kirsten stroked her chin thoughtfully. “Your ex might be an ass, but you have to admit, when it comes to business, he’s got real talent.”
Gian couldn’t help but agree. Alexander was shrewd, brilliant—no matter the industry, he would have made his mark. He’d once been a prodigy in aerospace engineering. After his mentor passed away, he pivoted, took over The Davidson Group, and never looked back.
In this world, sometimes luck gets you to the top. But to stay there, you need real ability.
Danielle pressed her lips together, saying nothing. She knew exactly what kind of man Alexander was. If he’d had nothing worth loving, she wouldn’t have fallen so hard for him.
But that was all in the past now—a chapter closed.

Danielle went to Davidson Corp to sign the contract.
As she arrived, Millie was just coming out of Alexander’s office, her face a storm of conflicted emotions. When she saw Danielle, her expression turned icy.
“Happy now? Is this the outcome you wanted?”

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!...
