The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1051

Danielle raised her glass again, downing another half. For the next thirty minutes, she was constantly on the move, weaving through the crowd. Some people came to offer congratulations, others to discuss potential collaborations, and some were simply curious to meet the woman who had carved out a space for herself in the male-dominated field of aerospace technology. She maintained a polite, practiced smile the entire time, raising her glass again and again. As she drank more red wine, a flush crept up her cheeks and her gaze grew unfocused.

Gian had been watching from a distance, and seeing her drink more and more, he finally couldn't stand it any longer. He walked over and placed his hand over hers, stopping her just as she was about to raise her glass again. "Danielle, that's enough. You were just discharged from the hospital. Your body can't take this."

Danielle shook her head, her eyes hazy, but she stubbornly tried to push his hand away. "I'm fine… Gian, this is a happy occasion. Everyone's here to celebrate. I can't be a buzzkill…"

"Being happy isn't an excuse to wreck your body." Gian's tone was firm as he took the glass from her and handed it to a nearby waiter. "You've had plenty. Any more and you'll be drunk. I'll handle the rest of the schmoozing. You go rest for a bit."

"I'm not drunk…" Danielle tried to argue, but the words had barely left her mouth before she swayed on her feet. Gian caught her just in time, saving her from a fall. Seeing this, the people around them chimed in. "Yes, Ms. Crawford, your health is more important. You should stop drinking." "Let Mr. Atwood handle the rest. You get some rest."

Leaning on Gian's arm, her head swimming, Danielle was still keenly aware that she couldn't bow out of this event. Ninesky had just secured the partnership with Cole, and this was a critical time to solidify connections and expand their resources. As the person in charge, she had to see it through to the end. She took a deep breath, trying to stand up straight, and smiled at the concerned faces around her. "Thank you for your concern, everyone. I'm fine, I can handle a few more." With that, she reached for a glass from a passing waiter's tray, but Gian's hand shot out and clamped down on her wrist.
