The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 388

Vivian tilted her head, glancing at Danielle. When she saw Danielle’s calm, unbothered expression, the tension in her own brow eased a little.

She’d been worried Danielle might take things too hard.

Even someone like Caleb had heard of Danielle’s reputation.

It was clear Alexander had paved a broad path for her.

But for all those opportunities, Danielle hadn’t exactly sailed ahead.

“Maybe her reputation doesn’t match her real abilities,” Caleb said, his gaze fixed on Danielle. “Miss Crawford, do you see AetherX Dynamics as real competition?”

Danielle looked up, her voice smooth and unhurried. “We all serve the same greater good. There’s no real rivalry.”

Truth be told, she’d never considered AetherX Dynamics a threat. Startups always needed time before they could challenge the big players.

In this industry, achievements didn’t happen overnight; success wasn’t something you could just claim for yourself.

But Millie—she always treated Ninesky as both a benchmark and a rival.

“Miss Crawford, you have quite the perspective.” Caleb smiled. “My father actually knows you, you know.”

Danielle blinked, searching her memory. Aside from today, she couldn’t recall ever meeting him.

She pressed her lips together, then replied, “That’s an honor.”

“But I tend to forget important people. I’m afraid I don’t remember your father.”

Caleb’s smile lingered, his eyes warming with a hint of admiration. “You’re good with words.”

He went on, “My father used to be at the Blackwood Research Institute. He saw you there, from a distance.”

“Mr. Hawthorne’s students—each of them is remarkable. My father was busy at the time, so he didn’t introduce himself.”

That explained it.

Danielle said, “I suppose that counts as fate, then.”

Her conversation with Caleb flowed surprisingly well.
