The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1269

Danielle’s voice was soft. “That may be true, but Auntie has had such a smooth life. She’s never had to endure a blow like this.”

Alexander didn’t respond.

He glanced down at the bandages on his chest, where the wound still ached faintly.

“She had to find out sooner or later,” he repeated quietly. “Knowing now is better than being kept in the dark for her entire life.”

Just then, the hospital room door opened gently.

Sammie walked in, holding a message he had just received.

He glanced at the two of them and said in a calm, even tone, “Jake has been taken away again. This time, the oversight committee is directly involved. It won’t be so easy for him to get out.”

Alexander raised an eyebrow, unsurprised. Jake had used the Davidson family’s influence for years to line his own pockets, both openly and secretly. His involvement with Harold meant it was only a matter of time before his crimes came to light.

“What about Bianca?” Danielle asked, putting down a file, her voice tinged with worry.

“I just had someone check on her. She’s standing at a window on the second floor of the family manor, watching the street below.”

Sammie paused, then added, “The committee’s cars are parked downstairs. She didn’t shed a single tear as they escorted Jake away.”

Danielle fell silent. For a woman as proud and concerned with appearances as Bianca, who had spent her life striving for perfection, watching her husband’s downfall in such a humiliating way must have felt worse than a knife to the heart.

Alexander tossed an orange peel into the trash can, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes before vanishing. He and Jake had never shared much of a father-son bond, only endless manipulation and scheming. Now that Jake had met his end, he felt nothing at all.

“There’s one more thing,” Sammie said. “Harold is back in the country. He was intercepted at customs and has been handed over to the Strategic Intelligence Agency.”

“Vincent Gaylord has also been detained. The Gaylord family’s empire is like a sinking ship; it collapsed overnight.”
