The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 347

When Millie first returned to the country, she was the talk of the town—her reputation practically preceded her.

“Just back from overseas and already starting her own company. A real prodigy—double degrees aren’t exactly common,” someone remarked, admiration clear in their tone.

Millie offered a modest smile. “You’re too kind. I’ve only just come back, and there’s still a lot for me to learn in terms of technology. I hope to lean on all of you for guidance.”

Her humility only made her shine brighter.

“AetherX Dynamics is developing a new project right now. If anyone’s interested, feel free to reach out,” she continued.

“Miss Fletcher—” someone started, but before they could finish, a staff member hurried over to Millie’s side. His expression was grave as he whispered something in her ear.

Millie’s face instantly darkened. Instinctively, her eyes darted to Alexander, seated beside her.

He appeared composed, deep in conversation with others. But sensing her gaze, he turned his head and met her eyes.

Millie drew a steadying breath, struggling to keep her composure. “Are you sure?” she whispered to the staffer.

He nodded solemnly. “Absolutely certain.”

Impossible.

Danielle had just lost two of her materials suppliers. The second one—Mr. Linden—going under was bad enough.

But the first one was disastrous. That supplier was Ninesky’s most promising partner. After signing a risky contract, Millie had managed to swoop in at the last minute and snatch the deal away.

Alexander himself had helped her secure that victory.

So how could this be happening?

Millie’s new project had barely been reported to the board. The funds had only just been injected. Now she was being told the project hadn’t even officially started, and every cent invested was already lost.

She felt faint, barely managing to keep herself upright.

The last time there was a hole in the budget, she hadn’t even patched it up yet.

“Miss Fletcher, are you alright?” someone asked, noticing how pale she’d become. “Please, tell us more about your company’s new project. Both Ninesky and AetherX Dynamics are rising stars in the industry. With Ninesky’s success, we believe young people really can bring technological innovation.”

Leanne reached out to steady Millie, murmuring under her breath, “What happened? No matter what it is, you need to keep it together in front of everyone.”

Millie’s face was ashen. Her hands hung at her sides, trembling before balling into fists as she fought to suppress her emotions.

She took another breath. “Everyone, the project is still in its early stages. We’ll be seeking investment and partnerships once it’s officially confirmed.”

The crowd exchanged puzzled glances.

Just moments ago, she’d been inviting collaboration. Now she was shutting everyone out.

But since Millie had made her position clear, no one pressed further.

“What’s going on?” Liam asked, brows furrowed.

Millie shook her head. “Just a minor issue.”

Her company couldn’t withstand two consecutive failures. This latest disaster had to be fixed.

She needed to secure a new partner—fast.

Across the room, Alexander’s gaze lingered on Millie, his eyes dark and steady. “If you need anything, just ask,” he said quietly.

Millie bit her lip.

Just moments ago, she’d felt utterly lost.

But now, with Alexander’s words, she felt a measure of reassurance. At least she knew someone was standing behind her.

She’d managed to solve the last crisis on her own—she could handle this one too.
