The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 380

Danielle regarded Leanne with steady, almost chilly eyes.

She picked up the microphone. “I demand that the judges clear my daughter’s name. Otherwise, there’s no point in her continuing in this competition.”

Every humiliation Niki had suffered—they would reclaim them all.

Millie bit her lip and looked over, bracing herself. Then, forcing a smile, she turned to Danielle, offering her apologies.

“I’m sorry—my mother’s getting on in years and sometimes she gets confused. On behalf of my family, I sincerely apologize. This was clearly a misunderstanding; Monica truly earned her results.”

“Rafferty missed questions that Monica answered correctly. There’s no way she could have cheated.”

When she finished, Millie dipped her head politely toward Danielle and Niki.

Leanne felt a wave of embarrassment and resentment. She’d been sparring with Vivian Linden her whole life, and now her own daughter was apologizing to Vivian’s daughter and granddaughter in front of everyone. It was humiliating.

A ripple of whispers swept through the audience.

Jarvis listened to the apology, arms crossed, and let out a short laugh.

He turned to Niki. “Monica, does that apology satisfy you? If not, I can get my dad involved.”

Jarvis had always had a strong sense of right and wrong.

Millie had already apologized; there was no reason to keep pressing the issue, especially with the physics competition still underway.

Niki spoke up. “I have no further objections.”

She glanced at Raffy. “All I want to say is, if you’re struggling, you should practice more—instead of assuming someone else’s good grades are because they cheated.”

“I’m just tired of always stepping aside and letting you win, like before.”

Her grandmother used to say that her brother was the pride and future heir of the Davidson family, so he had to come first in everything, even back in kindergarten. Niki was always expected to let him have the top spot, to play the role of the perfect, considerate child.

Sometimes she’d tried to win first place too, hoping to please her father, but the trophy never went to her.
