Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1367

James no longer avoided Emmy's tear-filled eyes. He enveloped her hand in his, his voice low and carrying the weight of a sacred vow. "After Christmas, I will take you to the White family to see her."

The hollow despair in Emmy's eyes was instantly ignited by a sudden flare of hope. That tiny spark was like a fragile flower blooming in a wasteland, trembling yet impossibly resilient. Her eyes burned hotly as she nodded with all her might. "Okay."

James gave her a long, profound look. Taking her hand, he led her to the desk and picked up several thick document folders he had prepared in advance. He sat down in the leather chair and pulled Emmy onto his lap. "Let's go over these accounts while we have the time."

Emmy paused, slightly bewildered, as she took the folders. Opening the first one, she found massive bank transfer receipts. The string of zeros was staggering. And in the beneficiary column, her name was written. Emmy Lincoln.

Emmy's brows snapped together. She recognized this money. It was the enormous sum James had diverted from Star Jewel as initial capital to build his resort. But now, James had wired every single cent back to her.

"What is the meaning of this?" Emmy shot her head up, her tone sharp with questioning.

James tightened his grip around her, meeting her gaze with utmost seriousness. "You need an identity that absolutely no one dares to provoke. Being the Sovereign of Star Jewel is your strongest shield. This liquid capital, combined with the sovereign immunity of your title, is enough to let you walk through the international stage completely untouchable. You are leaving for Harvard at the end of the month to finish your research. As of right now, this is the most absolute way I can guarantee your safety."

In the capitalist world, money was the ultimate justice, the hardest fist. Hearing his reasoning, a complex surge of warmth flooded Emmy's heart. Yet, her frown only deepened, and she rejected it without a second thought.

"No. The company is at a critical phase of expansion. You need this cash flow to break into the domestic market."
