“Alexander can help you, but only to reduce your sentence.”
All the color drained from Millie’s lips. She stood frozen, her whole body rigid, as if something had sealed her mouth shut. She wanted to speak, but her throat felt too tight, the words stuck.
She closed her eyes for a moment.
“Fine.”
That single word, barely more than a breath, was her reluctant admission.
“I only wanted to win that competition. You know how much it meant to me.”
By now, it was painfully clear—Millie was at a disadvantage with Danielle. The power imbalance pressed down on her like a weight, leaving a bitter discomfort deep in her chest.
Instinctively, Millie glanced at the man beside her. Wasn’t this the moment he was supposed to step in and help her?
But he just sat there, unmoving, making no effort to intervene. Panic crept up on her, a cold sweat breaking out along her spine.
Grinding her teeth, Millie looked at Danielle and tried again. “Things have gotten this far. What do you want for us to settle this quietly? We can work something out between us.”
Surely, at this point, Danielle would back down. Wasn’t this exactly what she wanted—to see Millie lower her head and apologize? Millie had done it.
But fortunes always change. No one stays at the bottom forever.
Once she survived this, she’d rise again, stronger than before.
The path to greatness meant swallowing a few indignities now and then. Whatever humiliation she endured today, she’d reclaim with interest.
What didn’t kill her would only make her stronger.
And once she got through this, she would become Mrs. Davidson—respected, untouchable.
Her future would open up, with every project and opportunity within reach.

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!...
