The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1373

"I almost tripped earlier, but a foreign man caught me," Danielle added.

Alexander's footsteps faltered. His expression instantly darkened, and he asked in a low voice, "A foreign man? What did he look like?"

"Blonde hair, blue eyes, wearing a white suit," Danielle replied honestly after a moment of thought. "He said he was a representative, but I didn't recognize him."

A cold, sharp glint flashed in Alexander's eyes. He looked down at Danielle, and seeing that she was perfectly fine, he finally let out a breath of relief.

He pulled her into his embrace, his voice deep and unwavering. "Don't go wandering off by yourself again. This gala is full of all sorts of people. Be careful."

Danielle nodded, snuggling against his chest. Breathing in his familiar scent of cedar, the lingering unease in her heart completely faded away.

In the center of the banquet hall, a performance was underway.

Miss Gaylord, dressed in an elegant white gown, sat at the grand piano.

Gian Atwood stood in a quiet corner, a glass of champagne in hand, his gaze fixed on the stage.

He was attending the summit on behalf of Ninesky Technologies tonight and had absolutely no interest in socializing. But as he listened to the familiar melody, a complex wave of emotions stirred in his eyes.

Miss Gaylord was an old acquaintance of his mother's. He hadn't expected her to accept the invitation to perform at the gala.

As the final note faded, the room erupted into thunderous applause.

Miss Gaylord stood and bowed, a gentle smile gracing her face. She gathered her sheet music and made her way toward the backstage area.

But just as she stepped off the stage, a heavyset, sleazy-looking man blocked her path.

The man was Mr. Bob, a real estate mogul who liked to throw his weight around in their social circles, relying on his wealth. He had a particular reputation for getting handsy with young, beautiful women.

He narrowed his lecherous eyes, looking Miss Gaylord up and down. "Miss Gaylord, you truly are a woman of many talents. That piano playing was absolutely mesmerizing."
