The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1083

With that, she turned and stormed away. Danielle only let out a breath of relief after Lorie's figure vanished down the hallway. She closed the door and leaned against it, rubbing her throbbing temples, her head aching. Lorie's harassment and Alexander's involvement felt like an suffocating net, leaving her unable to breathe.

Just then, the study door opened, and Niki and Calvin walked out. Seeing the grim look on her mother's face, Niki asked worriedly, "Mom, who was that? Did something happen?" Danielle immediately composed herself, forcing a gentle smile for her daughter. "It's nothing, sweetie. Just someone who got the wrong address. Are you tired from studying? I cut up some fruit for you. Come have some."

Calvin looked at Danielle with a hint of concern. "Ms. Crawford, if you need any help, please don't hesitate to let me know." Danielle nodded. "Thank you, Dr. Maddox. I appreciate you being here."

Fuming, Lorie returned to the Gaylord estate. The moment she walked in, she threw her handbag onto the sofa, her face a mask of fury. Vincent Gaylord, who was reading documents in the living room, frowned at his daughter's behavior. "What is it? Who upset you?"

"Who else? That bitch Danielle," Lorie spat, slumping onto the sofa and grabbing a glass of water. "I went to see her today to tell her to stay away from Alex, and she had the nerve to mock me! She said I couldn't hold on to his heart."

Vincent put down his documents and looked at his daughter. "All right, calm down. The most important thing right now is the alliance with Alexander. As long as you two get married, the Davidson family's power will be our backing. What does Danielle matter then? You can deal with her however you want."

At the mention of Alexander, Lorie's expression softened slightly. "You're right, Dad. Once I marry Alex, everything will be fine. I'll be the rightful Mrs. Davidson, and we'll see who dares to look down on me then." She wouldn't have needed the title of Mrs. Davidson before, but the Gaylord family's current standing was a shadow of its former self, and their social position needed reinforcing.
