Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1420

She had noticed it earlier at the dining table but was too annoyed to ask. James handed the file over. "It is a document from the United Nations."

Emmy took it, unwound the white string securing the flap, and pulled out the contents. Glancing at the title, she felt her pupils constrict.

"Is this..." She quickly flipped through the pages, her face lighting up with surprised excitement. "Is there a major breakthrough in the operation against the illegal bio labs? Did they find his trail?"

Why else would this document be approved so suddenly? The involvement of the United Nations meant the crackdown on the illegal biological laboratories had officially escalated to an international level. Once the military handover was complete, James would no longer be tied to the core secrets of the operation. Even if those deranged scientists and their wealthy backers wanted revenge, they would have no reason to target him anymore. That meant she and the children would finally be completely safe. The heavy burden on Emmy's heart vanished, and she let out a long sigh of relief.

James sat beside her, his deep gaze fixed on her face. Seeing the undisguised joy in her eyes, he could hardly bear to tell her the truth. After a moment of silence, he decided to be honest. "Emmy, the only reason this document was approved so quickly is because Dr. Pepper pulled some strings behind the scenes."

Emmy froze, looking up at him in confusion.

"Several leading figures in the research department petitioned together to expedite this document, and Dr. Pepper spearheaded the effort." James sighed, reaching out to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear. "You still have to go to Harvard for your doctorate and your research projects. They were worried you might be targeted once you left the country, so they did this to ensure you could complete your studies safely."

The smile on Emmy's face faltered as she grasped the implication. "Then what is the actual progress of the investigation?"
