Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1470

Isabel’s smile stiffened before she shook her head with a helpless sigh. "We had a fight. I was feeling so suffocated that I decided to move out on my own." Her expression grew solemn as she dropped her smile entirely. "Emmy, I am truly sorry. In the past, my jealousy and bitterness made me do terrible things to you. I want to formally apologize right now." Taking a step back, she bowed deeply to Emmy.

The gesture left Nina completely stunned. Isabel straightened up, her eyes rimmed with red. "I know my past actions make it hard for you to believe a word I say. I do not expect your forgiveness. I just wanted to tell you face to face that from now on, I will never do anything to hurt you again." Without lingering for another second, she tightened her grip on the leash and walked away with her dog.

Emmy stood in place, her cold gaze fixed on Isabel's retreating back. Her eyes narrowed as a dark gleam flashed through them. It was far too disjointed. The transition from a mentally shattered woman at a car crash to a coherent, enlightened socialite took less than fifteen minutes. That was not a psychological shift a single human being could make.

Unable to hold it in any longer, Nina voiced her confusion. "Ma'am, does this Ms. Summer happen to have an identical twin sister?"

"No," Emmy replied. Her suspicion deepened as she watched the figure disappear. Why would two Isabels suddenly appear? There was only one explanation. Emmy bent down, picking up a pebble the size of a fingernail from the granite pavement. She tossed it in her palm a couple of times and turned to Nina. "Can you throw this and hit her right in the back?"

Nina did not ask any questions. She took the pebble from Emmy's hand, entirely eager to follow orders. For a top tier martial artist, such aim was child's play. With a sharp flick of her wrist, the little stone shot through the air like a bullet.

"Ouch!" A cry of pain echoed from the distance. Isabel stopped dead in her tracks, clutching her back, and whirled around furiously. "Who did that! Who hit me?!"

Seeing the reaction, Nina darted behind Emmy like a child caught causing trouble. Isabel immediately spotted Emmy standing by the car. Emmy looked perfectly composed, even offering an innocent smile and a little wave, mouthing that it had not been her. Isabel gritted her teeth. Perhaps constrained by her recent apology, she couldn't afford a public outburst. She stamped her foot angrily, yanked the dog's leash, and stormed off at a brisk pace.
