The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 484

Millie’s face hardened, her expression turning cold and unreadable.

“You’re still making a mountain out of a molehill, just like you always have.” She stood up briskly and walked away, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor.

Gian watched Millie’s retreating figure, a look of pure disdain flickering in her eyes. All she saw was a pitiful woman discarded by the world of power and privilege.

Now that Millie had regained a sliver of composure, she immediately rushed over to reclaim her pride, desperate to salvage her dignity. But even this so-called dignity depended entirely on the man on stage.

Was it really true that whichever woman Alexander glanced at, whichever woman he chose, was instantly elevated in everyone’s eyes? Was Millie’s greatest ambition to become nothing more than a man’s accessory?

Pathetic, Gian thought. Pathetic and ignorant. Millie fooled herself into believing she was cherished, as if love alone could prop her up. But when that man finally left her, she’d have nothing left at all—every support would vanish in an instant.

Danielle, her face icy and impassive, tore her gaze away and sat back down. She found Millie’s actions nothing short of laughable, and couldn’t conceal her contempt for such behavior. It was as if Millie’s entire sense of worth revolved around a man.

“Is it really worth it?” Danielle murmured, more to herself than anyone else. A woman reducing herself to a mere shadow, living in the background of someone else’s life.

Unseen and unspoken, this was a competition for a man’s favor—a contest Danielle had never considered herself part of. That, perhaps, was the saddest part of all.

Danielle’s gaze lingered on the stage, her tone flat and calm. “People live for different things. She just has a different foundation from the rest of us.”

Alexander wrapped up his speech, nominating a handful of outstanding companies and encouraging everyone to learn from them. Standing beneath the lights, he spoke with a compelling blend of warmth and authority. His words were measured, his presence commanding—a man entirely in his element.

He had the easy confidence of experience, yet there was an unmistakable steel beneath his calm exterior. The audience found themselves drawn in, listening intently to every word.

As Kirsten Delaney would later remark with a smirk, “Looks charming on the outside, but he’s all smoke and mirrors.”

Among the companies he singled out was Ninesky Technologies. Most of the nominated firms wore wide smiles, pride shining in their eyes.
