The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 437

As Millie stared at the data comparison on the screen, her whole body seemed to go weak. The confident expression she’d worn moments earlier dissolved, leaving her face drained of color.

Her voice trembled as she forced out a denial. “I don’t know where you got this information, but the technology we developed was achieved through the efforts of me and my team. We absolutely did not plagiarize anyone’s work.”

She shot Danielle a glare, struggling to keep her composure. “This is… slander.”

Liam felt his heart sink, unable to look away from the evidence Danielle had presented. None of it looked fabricated. The documents included proprietary technology from both Blackwood Research Institute and Ninesky—sensitive information from years ago that should have only existed on secure servers and Danielle’s personal computer.

Danielle’s voice was calm but carried a weight that filled the room. “AetherX Dynamics is basking in the limelight these days,” she said, gazing down at Millie from the stage. “If the research was truly your original work, then congratulations. But I won’t stand by and let you steal from us and enjoy the credit. Intellectual property is not a game.”

She cast the image of a legal summons onto the main projection screen. “Since you have doubts, Ms. Fletcher, I’ll see you in court.”

The court had already accepted the case. Danielle had come fully prepared.

Millie’s face flickered between ashen and livid. Gritting her teeth, she rose from her seat. “Fine. I’ll see you in court. But I won’t let this baseless smear on my reputation go unanswered.”

Today’s meeting was attended by some of the most influential figures in the industry. Even if Millie truly hadn’t plagiarized anything, Danielle’s public accusation—and now the official legal notice—would cast a long shadow over AetherX Dynamics’ prospects.

After all, no one wants to do business with a company mired in intellectual property disputes. Legal entanglements mean risk, and most would rather forgo a profit than gamble on potential losses.

The crowd’s attitude shifted in an instant, turning from admiration to cautious distance.

Even Liam, usually unshakable, thought this was a dirty move. Danielle had clearly planned everything down to the last detail.

Danielle glanced at Chairman White and the delegation from the Space Research Council. “I’m sorry things have taken this turn.”

Chairman White gave a measured nod. “It was supposed to be a day for celebration,” he said, “but if there’s an issue of intellectual property, it’s best to be clear about it. No apologies needed. I’m just glad you brought it up before we made any public announcements, or the entire Council would have been embarrassed.”

He surveyed everyone present, his tone brooking no argument. “Let’s leave this matter to the courts and discuss it again when there’s a verdict.”

With that, the government meeting adjourned.
