Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 957

Emmy just stared at him, completely thrown. His face was right there, all sharp lines and striking features, his brow strong, his eyes almost too bright to look at. She couldn’t answer. Her mind just kept replaying the last ten months, over and over again.

She remembered those endless days and nights. The confusion, the hopelessness, being trapped and not even knowing who she was. And through it all, this man searched for her like a lone wolf, never stopping, combing every corner of the Fijian islands. He was fighting his own battles the whole time, plotting, making moves, chipping away at everything Dean had ever been proud of. He took it all apart, piece by piece, and somehow managed to turn it into a gift for her. The weight of that was almost too much.

Emmy took a slow, steady breath, then dropped her gaze back to the documents in her hands. She read every last word, every clause, every detail about the shares and the structure. When she finally closed the folder, ten minutes had passed. She lifted her head, and for the first time, her eyes were completely clear.

“James.” Her voice was serious. “You didn’t start this company just to get back at Dean, did you?”

James just raised his eyebrows but kept quiet.

Emmy traced the gold 'JS' on the cover with her fingertip. “With a company this big, growing this fast, and set up the way it is… you’re not just after Dean. You want justice for Jamie, right?”

As soon as she said the name, James’s hand clenched tight on the edge of the table. The warmth in his eyes vanished, replaced by something deep and dark, almost unreadable.

Emmy didn’t even realize she’d stumbled into forbidden territory. She’d just followed her gut. Seeing the way his face changed, she didn’t pull back. She kept going, her voice even steadier.

“If Dean was your only target, you wouldn’t have gone to all this trouble, set up something so big. Unless your enemy is way bigger than Dean. Like… the Nelson family?”

Her tone was calm and cool, every word cutting straight to the truth. “If you go after them, and anything goes wrong, Nelson Corporation could collapse. The whole family could fall apart. This is the kind of gamble where no one wins.”

James stared at her, his brow drawn tight. He hadn’t expected her to put the pieces together, not when she didn’t even remember the Nelson family. She said it all out loud, no hesitating.
