The woman's eyes welled with tears, turning red as she cast a pitiful, wronged glance at Sammie.
The entire room held its breath.
Everyone knew that while Rebecca appeared calm and logical, once she dug her heels in, nothing could move her.
They also knew exactly how deeply Sammie used to spoil her—to the point of absolute lawlessness.
But things were different now.
Sammie finally crushed his cigarette into the ashtray with a soft grind.
He stood up, towering over Rebecca with a suffocating, glacial presence.
In the past, there was always a soft spot in his eyes when he looked at her. But now, those eyes were bottomless pits of ice.
"Leave her out of this. This is between us."
His first words were to defend his fiancée.
It felt like a physical blow to Rebecca's chest.
A slight, yet agonizing ache.
Things really had changed.
Before she could retaliate, Sammie continued, his voice devoid of any warmth. "You are not joining Doctors Without Borders."
"Why the hell not?"
Rebecca met his gaze flawlessly. "It's my career, my dream, my life. It has nothing to do with you."
"The day you got engaged, whatever we had was over."
She severed the ties with surgical precision. "Sammie, you have a fiancée now. You have a family. You have your own life."
"Stay out of mine. You don't have the right."
"I don't need you interfering in my life under any pretext."

It felt as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over her head, freezing the blood in her veins.
All of her sharpness, her defiance, her unyielding exterior—shattered in an instant.
She stared at Sammie in disbelief, her eyes widening in horror. "...What did you say?"
Seeing the color drain from her face, a fleeting trace of reluctance flashed in Sammie's eyes, but it was quickly buried under his icy facade.

"He said, if you insist on going, he'll pretend he never had a daughter."
Rebecca stood rooted to the spot, freezing cold, her fingertips trembling violently.

She came here to fight, to demand an explanation, to seek fairness, and to air out ten years of grievances all at once.
But in the end, the most impenetrable wall standing in her way wasn't Sammie, or his fiancée, or the judgment of high society.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell
Although she was one of the protagonist (and best friend of Danielle), I'm really annoyed with Kristen. What does she actually want? She wants to be completely free from Gian, whatever their business is. But when Gian doesn't care about her, she gets annoyed and overthinks. Hey, Kristen, the world doesn't revolve around you. You may follow your own feelings, but that doesn't mean you can ignore other people's feelings at all!...
It seems like this novel will end at chapter 5000. Every time one issue ends, another one pops up, and it seems like the author is just trying to drag it out. I'm starting to get tired of reading it....
I hope daniele will have no end game with alexander since whatever the reason is, he only give her too much grievencess. I hope there will be another male character with stronger present than alexander to have the end game with daniele. Hated that in the name of love or protection alexander can treat another woman better, not just once, but with this new lorie girl... Oh my blood pressure getting higher cause by the new plot :(...
