The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 116

That evening.

Danielle got a call from her mother: the six million dollars had already hit their account. They could finally launch the project.

She pressed her lips together, a little surprised at how quickly Alexander had transferred the money.

"I saw the investor was Alexander. You two…" Vivian hesitated, not sure how to finish the thought.

Danielle's tone was cool, almost indifferent. "He only splashed out for Millie because he wanted to secure her a ticket to the Atwood Group's industry summit tomorrow."

He'd always been generous when it came to Millie.

After breakfast, Gian drove them to the summit venue.

The place was already buzzing; a steady stream of people had started to arrive.

As they walked in, Gian leaned over and said, "Mr. Wilson will be here today, representing the government. He's scheduled to give a speech."

Danielle blinked in surprise. Mr. Wilson, from the National Aeronautics Agency, was a major figure—he'd be outlining the latest government policies and plans.
