Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1127

Emmy picked up as soon as Abriella called. “Hey, Abriella. How’s Will? Did he wake up?”

Abriella sounded way calmer than before. After a quick update about Will, she switched gears, going straight for Mercedes with no warning.

“Emmy, I swear, Mercedes is honestly just shameless. Back then, James treated her better than he treated anyone, even me. And what did she do? She turned around and betrayed him. Just left Nelson Corporation and ran off to Hollywood to chase her superstar dreams. Now she actually has the guts to come back and look for James.”

Emmy blinked, not sure she was following. “Wait… what even happened between them? Do you know the whole story?”

“Of course I do.” Abriella let out a sharp laugh. “I never told you before because I didn’t want you getting jealous. But I seriously never thought she’d have the nerve to come crawling back to James.”

She took a breath, her voice dropping a little. “This was, what, over ten years ago? Back then, Mercedes wasn’t anybody. She was just this underage girl doing extra work on sets, totally broke, nothing but a pretty face and a nice voice to her name. Then some entertainment company scouted her for a talent show. You know what the industry’s like, especially back then. If you didn’t have connections, the only way up was doing whatever the investors wanted.”

Emmy’s face twisted. She’d heard rumors about all that before.
