Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1092

That night, he pulled her into his arms, his voice low and steady. “Once I head to the border, Mr. Nelson and Martha will stop watching me and turn their attention to Tyler. If Tyler keeps his head down, maybe nothing happens. But if he tries to take back control, those two won’t just sit around. Best case, he gets hurt. Worst case, he doesn’t make it out alive.”

Clearly, Tyler understood this. That’s why he arranged for military escort at his own wedding.

Emmy asked, “So what were Mr. Nelson and Martha doing during the shootout today?”

Teresa shrugged. “They were totally calm, just invited a few relatives over and spent most of the afternoon playing mahjong in the back room.”

Emmy let out a cold laugh. “That wasn’t mahjong. They were waiting for someone to tell them Tyler was dead. Looks like this marriage of Tyler’s cut into Mr. Nelson and Martha’s piece of the pie. They want him gone.”

Teresa sighed. “No wonder. I thought it was weird earlier. After Tyler brought Isabel in, those two kept hinting that maybe they should delay the ceremony, but their words were so passive-aggressive. Then the President and First Lady showed up, and suddenly Mr. Nelson and Martha went quiet. But it didn’t end there. After Isabel paid her respects at the family shrine, the First Lady, acting for Mrs. Nelson, read out a document. They were giving Isabel four percent of the shares that had just been taken back from Nelson Corporation. Mr. Nelson and Martha objected right away, but the President just gave them a warning and they shut up.”

Emmy shook her head. “The board took all the shares from James and Tyler, and now they can’t even spare four percent for the new bride? That’s just greedy.”

Teresa nodded. “That’s how these big families are. Everything looks so perfect on the outside, but inside, it’s all schemes and power plays. Oh, Emmy, there’s something else you should know.”
