She ought to confront him and get some answers.
Without hesitation, she dialed his number.
The phone rang for what felt like an eternity. No one answered.
Millie tried again. And again. She called several times in a row, but still, he didn’t pick up.
With no other choice, she called his assistant, Nash Langley.
But even Nash didn’t answer.
Leanne watched the scene unfold, her expression darkening at once.
“Looks like you’ve been cast aside,” she said flatly.
Millie’s mind went blank. She couldn’t believe things had come to this.
She tried Nash’s number again.
This time, at least, someone picked up.
“Hello.” The voice on the other end was cold and distant.
As soon as Millie heard it, she hung up.
She threw her phone across the room, running her hands through her hair in frustration.
Her justification simply didn’t hold up.
She really had no grounds to ask Alexander for help again and again—especially considering the whole plagiarism mess was entirely her own doing.
She had always carried herself with pride around Alexander, always held her head high. She had her dignity—her stubborn pride.
How could she possibly face him now, as if it were his fault for not fixing something she herself had done?
It was all her doing, after all.
“They finally answered, and you hang up? What’s wrong with you?” Leanne was nearly frantic. “Do you even realize what’s at stake here? This is bigger than just you. Every company connected to the Fletcher family is going to feel the fallout.”
And Millie—she’d been on the brink of a breakthrough, about to soar to new heights, only to crash spectacularly at the worst possible moment.
The Fletcher family had always been treading water, never really making waves, never quite breaking into the upper echelons.
Now, when they were so close to finally making it, everything was falling apart. Worse, they might end up even further behind than before.

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!...
