Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1053

Inside a car parked not far away, Emmy watched the whole scene unfold through the window.

The driver glanced at her in the rearview mirror and asked, “Mrs. Lincoln, should we head out?”

“Not yet,” Emmy replied, settling back into her seat. “Let’s wait until she’s gone.”

If Shelly realized Emmy was here, who knew what kind of drama she would stir up.

The driver nodded and watched as Shelly’s car sped off. He couldn’t help but sigh. “Shelly really has no shame left. She came from such a good family, but look at her now.”

Emmy arched an eyebrow, inviting him to continue.

He was the honest type, always up to date with the latest news, and once he started talking, he rarely stopped. “Last year, after Mr. Nelson divorced her, it made the news for a bit. Anyone who pays attention to politics would have heard about it.”

“Then Mr. Nelson became president, and the first thing he did was make Cadence the First Lady. That wasn’t easy either. She passed the strictest background checks and the cabinet approved her unanimously.”

Admiration crept into his voice. “Everyone agrees there’s no one better for the job than Cadence.”

“All those rich wives and society girls look up to her. It’s only Shelly who can’t move on. She’s always spreading rumors, trying to smear the First Lady’s name. But honestly, who believes her anymore?”

Emmy listened, a bit caught off guard.

She hadn’t really followed politics in her previous life, so all these details were new.

“She really is extreme,” Emmy said, thoughtful. “As the ex-wife, the best thing she could have done was leave with some dignity.”

“By dragging this out and slandering the First Lady, she’s really just embarrassing herself and her family. No matter how powerful the Sullivans are, they can’t let her keep self-destructing like this.”

The driver nodded again, meeting her gaze in the mirror. “Exactly. If the First Lady was anything like Shelly claims, there’s no way the whole country would have accepted her. People aren’t stupid.”

By now, Shelly’s car had vanished around the corner.

Only then did the driver steer them smoothly out into the street.

…

At the Summit Private Club, the favorite spot for the city’s young elite, privacy was everything.

Emmy opened the door to their private room and glanced around.

Krystina was peeling an orange, while Abriella was belting out a song at the karaoke machine, completely off-key.
