The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1155

“I just can’t stand the sight of them,” Lorie hissed, her voice low. “Putting on a loving act even after they’re divorced. It’s disgusting.”

Harold didn’t respond, his gaze fixed on Danielle, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes. He could never understand why Danielle would give up a man like Alexander, much less how they could maintain such a relationship after their divorce.

Nearby, Leanne had also noticed the commotion. She stood beside Harold, clutching a folder, her eyes darting between Danielle and Alexander as a knowing smile touched her lips.

The atmosphere in the venue grew increasingly delicate. All the key players were gathered—allies and rivals, old grudges and new feuds. This seemingly ordinary project analysis meeting was destined to be anything but calm.

Danielle took a deep breath, steeling herself for battle. She knew the next few hours would be a war without smoke or fire. And she and Alexander would have to fight side-by-side to weather the coming storm.

Sensing her tension, Alexander gently brushed his hand against her wrist. “It’s okay.”

Danielle turned to him and nodded.

Soon, the bell chimed, signaling the start of the meeting. The conversations died down as everyone began filing into the main hall.

The main conference hall was packed, with not an empty seat in sight. The air was thick with a serious, tense atmosphere. On the stage at the front, government officials in formal attire looked on with solemn expressions. A clear, powerful voice echoed from the microphone, resonating through the entire hall.

Technology was a nation’s backbone, the core of its defense, and a matter of inviolable dignity. The deployment of a rival nation’s new jet meant her country was facing immense pressure and a significant challenge. The drone navigation optimization technology involved in Project 07 had applications not only in civilian aerospace but could also provide vital technical support for national defense. This was why the government was taking it so seriously, assembling so many industry leaders and key personnel.

She looked around and saw that every person in the room wore a similarly grave expression. Clearly, everyone now understood the weight of this meeting.

A powerful sense of responsibility washed over Danielle. As a researcher, she and her peers carried on their shoulders not just the future of their companies, but the future of their nation and the dignity of its people.

However, Danielle quickly composed herself. She knew how her country operated. If they were willing to mention the rival nation's provocation so openly in a forum like this, they must have a countermove planned.
