Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1770

One glance at the caller ID instantly extinguished the desperate hope in her eyes. The screen flashed with the name of her brother, Harrison. Her entire mind was consumed by the terrifying threat to Steve's life. She had absolutely no desire to entertain any calls from the Moore family. With trembling fingertips, she hit the decline button without a second thought.

But mere seconds after the call dropped, the screen lit up again. It was a barrage of text messages from Harrison. [I hear Mr. Michell stepped into a massive legal landmine in Cloudville and is heading straight to prison? Word is he messed with the wrong people this time... he offended the Cabinet Secretary! This might be a lot worse than just jail time. They might just execute him the second he walks through those prison doors! Don't be an idiot and keep holding out hope that he's going to marry you. He can't even save himself right now! Don't let your kid grow up with a criminal father! We are your real family. Pack your things and come back to Seaview immediately. Use your business talents for your own blood and help us expand the Moore family empire!]

Sylvia stared at the cruel text on the screen. The moment she read the words Cabinet Secretary, her heart seized painfully in her chest. And when her eyes locked onto the horrifying word execute, her breathing turned terrifyingly erratic. She gasped for air like a dying fish, her mouth opening and closing in futile, suffocating panic.

"No..." she whispered, shaking her head frantically. Heavy tears smashed into the glass screen, blurring the horrific words until they were utterly unreadable. "It's not possible! You're lying to me... all of you are lying to me!" Biting her bloodless lips, her hands trembling violently, she frantically scrambled to exit the messaging app. She tore open her contacts, tapped the pinned number at the top of the list, and called Steve.

"We're sorry. The number you have dialed is powered off."
