Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1451

Down in the grand banquet hall, Emmy's speech had concluded, and the event had transitioned into the lively dinner and raffle segment. Nina weaved her way through the celebrating crowd and approached Emmy, who was seated at the main VIP table. Leaning in close, Nina whispered a full report of the chaotic incident upstairs.

Emmy raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised. She never expected a woman as arrogant as Shelly could be pushed to the point of physically strangling someone. Taking a sip of water from her glass, she leaned toward the man beside her. Lowering her voice so only he could hear, she relayed the penthouse drama to James. Hearing the news, James's dark, fathomless eyes darkened even further, and his brows knit together.

Just then, Abriella strolled over with a half empty glass of red wine in her hand. As a top tier financial supporter, she had been seated in the VIP section right next to the main table. Enjoying absolute priority to interact with her idol, the security guards let her pass without hesitation. Abriella patted Emmy's shoulder in a familiar greeting before turning to Laney, who was seated on the other side.

"Laney, I heard you specifically brought the DUO Bionic Android of Emmy with you this time," Abriella said, swirling her wine with an arched brow. "It is getting late. Why has it not made an appearance yet?"

Laney guiltily shot a glance at Emmy, internally screaming. Good heavens, the only reason she had brought the android all this way was because she was absolutely certain Emmy would not attend the event in person. Her original plan was just to show off the robot so the fans could take some pictures and satisfy their cravings. Who could have predicted the real, living Emmy would drop from the sky today! If she rolled out a life sized, perfect replica of her idol right in front of the actual person, Emmy would probably think she was some kind of absolute creep.

But it was too late. Emmy had clearly caught their conversation and turned to face them. "I heard you brought my bionic android as well," Emmy said, her eyes lighting up with genuine amusement. "Is it here at the venue?"
