The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 430

On the other end, it sounded like he was busy. He didn’t say much.

His distant, cool tone only made Millie’s nerves twist tighter.

She felt even more unsettled, even more uncertain about everything.

Her grip on her phone tightened unconsciously.

After pressing her lips together, she tried to steer the conversation. “There's a firestorm online right now—trending topics, rumors everywhere. Isn’t this affecting you or the Davidson family?”

Millie’s breath caught. “But for AetherX Dynamics, these kinds of issues—”

Between two smart people, words rarely needed to be spelled out.
