The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 503

Her words were flawless, delivered with perfect poise.

“After all, we’ll be working in the same industry for years to come. We’re bound to cross paths again and again—so let’s stay in touch.”

Kirsten cut in, her tone sharp. “Let me clarify something. Dani here is your direct superior now. When you see her, you should address her as Ms. Crawford.”

She lifted her chin, surveying Millie like she was something unpleasant on her shoe. “Staying in touch with your boss isn’t about friendly collaboration—it’s just you trying to suck up. And for the record, you’re not even qualified to work with us right now. Got it?”

Born with a silver spoon, the heiress was as spoiled and imperious as they came, never caring who she offended.

Millie tightened her grip on her bag, teeth pressing into her lower lip.

“So this is what it means to look down on people, Ms. Crawford. Since you clearly don’t think much of me, AetherX Dynamics won’t be working with Newsworld any longer. Once everything’s settled and the accounts are squared, I’ll be out of your way.”

There was a steel in her voice—a pride that refused to be trampled by someone like Danielle.

Danielle’s expression barely changed, her eyes cold as ice as she looked at Millie. “I thought you were too proud to bend, but here you are, relying on men every step of the way.”

Millie froze, her gaze flickering instinctively toward Alexander, who stood quietly at her side.

She drew in a long, steadying breath.

“What kind of person I am is none of your business,” she said, her voice calm but edged with scorn.

Her lips curled into a mocking smile as she straightened her back, meeting Danielle’s eyes head-on. “And even if I do rely on a man, at least he’s someone willing to fight for me without hesitation.”

As she spoke, a sweet smile softened her features.

Kirsten looked physically repulsed.

Her eyes swung to Alexander, who’d been silent the whole time.

“Oh, this is rich. So, Miss Fletcher over there isn’t your childhood buddy anymore? She’s your girlfriend now?”

There was no mistaking the sarcasm dripping from Kirsten’s voice.

Hadn’t Millie always insisted she and Alexander were just childhood friends? Now suddenly they were a couple? The hypocrisy was almost comical.

Alexander narrowed his eyes, about to respond.

But Kirsten waved a dismissive hand. “Don’t bother. I’m not interested in hearing about your sordid relationship. I’d rather not sully my ears.”

With that, she turned to Danielle. “Let’s go.”
