The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 17

Liam looked Danielle up and down with open disdain. "I honestly don't get why you're even here. Trying to make your presence known, is that it?"

Alexander's eyes swept over Danielle, cool and indifferent, saying nothing.

Compared to Millie, who was the center of attention, Danielle—gorgeous as she was—seemed hopelessly out of her depth. Standing beside the radiant Millie only made her shortcomings more obvious.

"I can see why you don't like going home," Liam went on. "If I were you, I'd prefer Millie too. She's got the education, the drive, the talent—everything Danielle lacks."

"All Danielle does is spend your money and sit around the house."

Liam moved in the same social circles as Alexander. Ever since the wedding, he'd looked down on Danielle. What kind of woman schemes her way into a man's bed? How good could she really be?

Now, seeing her shamelessly chase after Alexander here, he found it downright absurd.

No wonder Alexander was drawn to Millie. Given the choice between an ordinary housewife and a brilliant, ambitious woman, it really was no contest. Danielle couldn't believe she hadn't understood something so simple in her previous life.

Niki's wide, curious eyes followed Millie, listening intently to the conversation around her. So this plane was Millie's design… No wonder her brother admired her so much.

Just then, Danielle's phone rang. It was Gian, calling to say he'd arranged special seats for her and Niki—prime view of the airshow, perfect for watching the fighter jet demonstration.

She took Niki by the hand and headed over.
