The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1122

"But Jake wouldn't agree. He wanted to execute a secret handover, gradually placing the entire Davidson Group into Harold's hands, and he wanted me to pave the way for him." Danielle took a deep breath, a storm of emotions churning inside her. So, all this time, Alexander hadn't just been fending off Harold's overt and covert attacks, but also dealing with schemes and pressure from within his own family. He seemed powerful, but he was actually under siege from all sides.

"Then why did Harold covet the core technology of the Project 07 fighter? Why would he collaborate with foreign powers?" Danielle's frown deepened. "That doesn't seem to have much to do with controlling The Davidson Group." Alexander let out a derisive laugh. "His ambition extends far beyond a single corporation."

After a pause, he continued, "You were right that Harold has foreign entities backing him. Even before we were married, he had his sights set on you. And not just you. He targets any brilliant young talent, especially those with skills in critical fields like aerospace and military technology, trying to recruit them by any means necessary." A chill ran down Danielle's spine. "What's the point? Is it just to expand his own power base?"

"Expanding his base is just the first step," Alexander said. "What he wants is greater power—the kind of power that can sway the political landscape. You think he just wants to be a business tycoon?" He looked at Danielle, enunciating each word carefully. "He's probably aiming to be a 'president' of sorts."

"A president?" For a moment, Danielle couldn't tell if Alexander was joking. He wanted the power to control a country? "He uses the support of foreign powers to recruit talent, steal core technologies, and expand his business empire, accumulating wealth and influence step by step," Alexander said grimly. "The Davidson Group is just a stepping stone for him. The core technology of the Project 07 fighter is the key to his ambition. With it, he can gain further trust and support from his foreign backers, and maybe even use their power to interfere in our country's affairs."

The idea that technology builds a nation's strength wasn't just an empty slogan. In this new era, whoever possessed the top talent and cutting-edge equipment held the real power. Truth has always been found within the range of the cannons. A cold sweat broke out on Danielle's back. She finally understood. Harold's scheme was far more terrifying than she had ever imagined. This was no longer just about business competition or family feuds; it was a major conspiracy that threatened national security.

"Then your mentor's death..." Danielle's voice trembled. Alexander's eyes darkened. "He noticed Harold's suspicious activities back then and was about to expose him. Then the 'accident' happened. That's the truth I've been chasing all this time." All the clues finally clicked into place. Danielle leaned back against the sofa, a heavy weight settling in her chest. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Alexander didn't answer. But Danielle knew, really. The misunderstandings between them were long gone. What remained were the tangled knots in their hearts that they couldn't seem to undo.

Alexander looked at Danielle, his gaze deep. "Danielle, I'm sorry." He pressed his lips together. "I never meant to hurt you, but the damage is done, and there's nothing I can do to take it back." His carefully laid plans had ended up wounding the person he loved most.
