Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1455

This specific chat was almost entirely populated by quiet, middle aged members and elderly fans. They would never spam the chat with wildly inappropriate declarations calling Emmy their wife, nor did they ever gossip about messy celebrity rumors. However, they were fiercely loyal supporters who meticulously executed any promotional task the administrators assigned. As a result, the daily atmosphere in this chat maintained a bizarre, serene quietness.

After James tapped to accept the invitation, his eyes drifted to the group name pinned at the top of the screen, Emmy's Shadow, Wellness Support Group 2. James naturally assumed that Wellness was just the fans' simple, honest blessing for Emmy. Peace and health. That was, after all, the only thing he wanted for her now. Deeply satisfied, he accepted his place in the group, locked his screen, and slipped the phone back into his pocket.

Across the table, Nina finally grasped the rules. With heroic generosity, she directly transferred the cash and successfully secured her entry ticket into the club. Seeing that the young girl clearly thrived on chaos, Tiffany dropped her straight into one of the highly active, regular chats, Emmy's Shadow, Global Elite Group 6. The moment Nina entered, she found the chat as noisy and chaotic as a busy market. Everyone was furiously forwarding high definition photos and short clips captured at the venue. The messages refreshed so fast they were practically a blur, flying up the screen in endless waves.

Meanwhile, the raffle on stage was in full swing. Numbers rolled continuously across the large screen, and many lucky fans walked away with expensive electronics and limited edition merchandise. The grand gathering was slowly drawing to a close in a warm, euphoric atmosphere. Finally, amid the collective, reluctant sighs of the crowd, the host held up the microphone and loudly announced, "To thank everyone for your incredible support, Ms. Lincoln has personally prepared an exquisite gift bag for every single fan in attendance tonight! Before you exit the venue in an orderly fashion, please make sure to stop by the sign out desk in the hotel lobby to claim your exclusive gift!"

The magnificent event finally came to a close in a joyful, celebratory mood. Standing on the upper balcony, Emmy watched the fans file out in an orderly manner, their faces flushed with excitement as they clutched their gift bags. Her heart felt incredibly warm. In her previous life, she had been trapped in the suffocating confines of a restrictive marriage, her brilliance slowly drained away until she became nothing more than a mere accessory. But now, looking at these vibrant, lovely faces and hearing their genuine screams of adoration, she truly felt she had come back to life. Every line of code she wrote, every AI program she developed, was no longer just cold, lifeless data. They possessed warmth and purpose, serving as the bridge that connected her to the rest of the world. This feeling of being unconditionally favored and trusted by so many people rushed into her heart like a wave of scalding warmth, flowing through her very veins.

Taking a deep breath, the light in Emmy's eyes grew brighter and more resolute. She was going to keep moving forward. She was going to stand at the pinnacle of the world. She now possessed a driving force for her research that was far purer and vastly more powerful than anything she had in her past life.

Just as Emmy gathered her thoughts and habitually looped her arm through James's to leave via the VIP exit, a voice called out. "Ms. Lincoln! Wait for me!"

Nina sprinted over, panting heavily, clutching two beautifully wrapped boxes to her chest. Emmy stopped and turned to look at her. "What is wrong?"

Nina offered up the smaller box perched on top. "Look at this, Ms. Lincoln! Just now, when they were handing out your gift bags, Martha's people slipped into the line and handed everyone an extra present!"
