Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1483

Inside the massive cleanroom, bright white light illuminated every corner down to the finest detail. Hundreds of silver mechanical arms danced and crisscrossed in midair, their movements precise down to the millimeter. Conveyor belts acted like intersecting blood vessels, continuously delivering an endless supply of complex components. The sharp sizzle of laser welding rang out relentlessly, accompanied by occasional bursts of deep blue sparks. Skeletons of half finished robots moved slowly down the line, swiftly fitted with core chips, hydraulic joints, and outer casings by the robotic arms.

But as Emmy followed the conveyor belt with her eyes, a frown slowly began to form on her face. She turned and looked at her mother in confusion. "Mom, why are these all mass produced butler and nanny robots? Where is the cutting edge bionic assembly line?"

The smile on Teresa's face faded as she let out a sigh. "That line was permanently shut down during the factory's massive overhaul yesterday."

Emmy was shocked. "Why was it suddenly overhauled and shut down?"

Teresa lowered her voice, explaining the complicated situation to her. "The bionic technology was simply too realistic. It was already dangerously close to crossing the ethical boundaries of human cloning. The higher ups actually issued an internal memo suggesting we shut the line down a long time ago. But because the company had already poured a colossal amount of funding into the research phase, and the whole R&D team needed to make a living, we just kept braving the pressure, only daring to secretly manufacture a tiny number of custom orders."

Teresa paused and glanced at her daughter. "But just two days ago, your husband submitted a restructuring proposal to the senior management here at Deep Blue. Word got out to the authorities, and a special investigation task force was sent down immediately. Andrew was worried that continuing production would cross a red line, so to protect the bigger picture, he ordered the line to be completely cut yesterday."

Emmy's heart jumped. So it really was connected to James. She could not help but feel bad for her mother's team given their massive investment. "With such a huge investment, have you guys managed to make your money back?"

Teresa glanced at the actively running production lines. "Now we can only rely on selling these butlers and nannies to slowly bleed the costs back."

Teresa nodded, her face looking terrible. "We checked the records. Right around that time, a core tech saboteur from our R&D team suddenly submitted his resignation. So we now highly suspect that the top tier bionic technology was stolen and leaked three months ago. The person who resigned is completely unreachable now. He has vanished."

Teresa rubbed her temples in sheer distress. "Andrew is keeping this from the higher ups right now, using his own connections to secretly track down the guy's whereabouts. This technology is incredibly sensitive. If the theft is exposed to the public, or if someone with malicious intent uses it to cause chaos... as the chief director of this technology, Andrew will face severe legal consequences."

Emmy felt a chill run through her. Like a flash of lightning, she suddenly remembered something. She lowered her voice and asked, "Mom, did your bionic assembly line ever produce a model based on me?"

Teresa shook her head, her tone absolute. "Absolutely not. Before we manufactured every custom bionic order, I personally reviewed the background materials in detail. If your data had shown up in an order, I would never have allowed them to produce it, no matter how much money the client offered." She looked at Emmy, confused. "Why would you suddenly ask that?"
