Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1625

Emmy looked at him and reached out to grasp his large hand. "This afternoon, Cadence talked to me about the situation with Nelson Corporation." She sighed softly, her tone heavy with concern. "She said the internal fighting over there has become extremely vicious. The turmoil has already started to affect my father's political standing. So, she hopes you can exercise some restraint, keep a low profile, and avoid bringing this conflict out into the open."

James didn't look the least bit surprised. He stood up, sat down beside her, and wrapped a long arm around her, pulling her into his embrace. A low chuckle rumbled in his chest. "So that's what it was. Actually, my father and I have both taken a step back. I promised him I absolutely wouldn't let the corporate unrest affect his political standing, nor would it compromise his career. In exchange, apart from the early education team he's sending, he is never to interfere with any of our educational arrangements for the children ever again."

Emmy was quite surprised. No wonder the two of them, a father and son with tempers as hard as stone, had been able to chat so calmly during dinner. It turned out that in their power struggle, both sides had made concessions for what they valued most. But after her surprise faded, Emmy looked at this man who still carried a blood feud, her eyes filling with deep sorrow. "But if you handle this quietly and avoid the judicial system, wouldn't you be letting those people off too easily?"

James reached out and gently tapped the tip of her nose, a cold, unwavering smile curving his lips. "Don't worry, I have my ways to make them bring about their own destruction without alerting the political sphere. You don't need to worry about a thing. Just focus on resting and enjoy the show."

Hearing this, Emmy's anxious heart finally settled. She knew that since he had promised, he would absolutely deliver. She stopped worrying and put aside any curiosity about the bloody details of the corporate war. Turning her head slightly, she pressed her cheek against his broad shoulder. "I really hope you can resolve all the troubles at Nelson Corporation soon. Once the dust settles, we can be like this forever, completely undisturbed by any outside schemes."

No hidden daggers, no unpredictable assassinations, and no shackles of old grudges. Only the cool evening breeze outside the window, the faint chirping of insects, and this warm, solid embrace. This peaceful life, stripped of all the smoke and mirrors of the business world, leaving only each other, was the sanctuary she longed for most.
