Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1264

Emmy stared out the window at the blur of coconut trees slipping by. Her face was calm, almost unreadable. “No matter what, he’s still James’s brother. Blood is blood.”

She glanced at Keaton. “Whatever happened between them before, this is our turf and today is supposed to be a celebration. We need to keep things classy.”

“As long as he doesn’t stir up trouble, we play the gracious hosts. The last thing we need is anybody saying we’re small-minded.”

Keaton nodded. “Got it. I’ll take care of everything.”

The car pulled up at the marina. Even from afar, Emmy could see the sleek luxury yacht gliding into the dock. A crowd of reporters was already there, snapping photos and waving microphones as if today was the hottest news in town.

Emmy stepped out, smoothed out her suit, and forced a practiced, professional smile. But as she walked closer and really saw who was coming off the yacht, her smile faltered for just a split second.

It wasn’t just Tyler and Isabel. There was another man with them, tall and dressed in casual black.

Abis.

Emmy’s brow tightened, but she got control of her expression right away. Tyler came down the ramp, moving slowly. On the surface, his legs looked fine, but there was an awkward hesitation in his steps, like he was still getting used to walking. Isabel clung to his arm, perfect in her designer dress and flawless makeup.

A few steps behind, Abis hung back, sunglasses hiding his expression. Still, Emmy could feel his gaze reaching her through the tinted lenses.
