The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 472

All those supposed “connections” of hers—

they were never really hers to begin with.

They only ever showed up for Alexander’s sake.

And now, with Alexander absent tonight, every single one of them had turned their backs on her in a heartbeat.

Millie’s hands clenched into fists.

“This is a partnership. If you help me through this, I’ll never forget it,” she managed, voice tight.

Slowly, Millie lifted her eyes to Keegan. “You know what I’m capable of.”

Keegan glanced at his watch, not bothering to answer her directly. “If Alexander isn’t here, there’s no reason for this meeting to go on.”

His gaze met hers, cold and unyielding. “Your abilities mean nothing to me. The Southwells have plenty of people just like you—they just haven’t bothered to start their own companies or make a name for themselves.”

If they wanted, there could be a thousand “Millies” lighting up the city.

“No one forced you to take any of the steps you’ve taken. If you’re looking for someone to beg for help, you’ve come to the wrong place.”

These people? They were never the right choice.

“I’m not Alexander. I won’t stand by you, no questions asked.”

Businessmen always put profit first.

Liam watched Millie, his expression complicated.

“Millie, I used to think you were above reproach—untouchable,” he said, taking a deep breath. “Now…”

He looked away, feeling a pang of sympathy for Danielle.

“Did Danielle really steal Alexander away from you? Was she the one who ruined your relationship by crawling into his bed?”

Millie’s lips parted. “You don’t believe me?”

This—this moment—left her feeling utterly powerless.

It was as if she were sinking beneath the waves, the harder she struggled, the deeper she sank.

Only now did the truth dawn on Liam.

Why would Danielle, with her status, bother to compete with Millie? She had everything she needed—what reason would she have to make things difficult for Millie?

And Millie… she did have ability, that much was undeniable.

But after everything that had come out about Raffy, Liam couldn’t trust what his eyes saw any longer.

He only believed in hard evidence.

Cold, irrefutable proof—that’s what mattered most.

Millie looked at him, her voice trembling. “What are you implying?”

“Are you saying Alexander deliberately didn’t show up tonight? That you two planned this all along?”

Liam shook his head. “No. I don’t know.”

He was waiting to see how Alexander would react as much as anyone else.
