Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1467

Back in his hospital room, Steve leaned against his soft pillows, his mind reeling with everything Emmy had just said. The more he chewed on it, the more convinced he became that his parallel universe dream was absolute reality. Years ago, he had specifically hired people to investigate Emmy's background, and she had never studied a single day of business. Yet, over the last few years, every project she touched turned to pure gold. Whether it was for Starlight Corporation or the Nelson Corporation, the money she threw around seemingly at random always resulted in a blockbuster success. Her viciously precise foresight and razor-sharp intuition were so terrifying that even a freakishly brilliant tactician like James could not match them. If she had not glimpsed future opportunities in a prophetic dream, as she claimed, there was simply no logical explanation for her God-like winning streak.

The moment he recalled her use of the word "disemboweled," Steve's scalp prickled with dread. After a moment of thought, he snatched his phone and fired off a message to his father overseas. [Dad, whatever you do, do not take any business trips to Nelia anytime soon!]

The message sank like a stone in the ocean without a reply, but Steve was entirely used to that. He proceeded to dial James's number. It rang several times before being answered. "Speak."

Completely unfazed by his buddy's hyper-efficient tone, Steve asked, "What are you busy with? Your wife just dropped by to see me."

"I am fixing a robot," James replied flatly.

Steve arched a brow and let out an amused chuckle. Even though he had been rotting away in a hospital bed as a patient for days, he was intimately aware of the chaos that had unfolded yesterday. "You mean the Mini Emmy you used as a meat shield? The thing is already totaled. It is a pile of scrap metal. Is there really any point in fixing it?"

James's tone remained perfectly composed. "It avoided critical damage to the core. It can still be salvaged."
