Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1661

After that, Emmy fired off several more questions about things she hadn't quite understood. Showing endless patience, James answered every single one. When she finally exhausted all her doubts, the study fell quiet. James remained silent for a few seconds before tightening his arms around her.

"There is one more thing you need to know," he said.

Emmy turned to look at him curiously. "What is it?"

Meeting her gaze, James's tone was completely steady. "After Evelina was released from prison, she visited Dean at the asylum. She told him some things about you that provoked him. A few days ago, Dean committed suicide."

Emmy's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Observing her reaction closely, James continued, "When the police went to arrest Evelina, they found that she had slit her wrists in her rented apartment as well."

Emmy was stunned. But her expression quickly smoothed back into tranquility, calmly accepting the news without a ripple of turmoil. She had long made peace with those two who had once nearly destroyed her. She now had a husband who loved her, beautiful children, and her own thriving career. The lives or deaths of those wretched people were no longer of any concern to her. Completely emotionally undisturbed, she even casually reached out to pick up a document from the desk.

"What is this?" she asked, smoothly changing the subject.

Seeing that she genuinely didn't care, a warm smile spread through James's deep eyes, lifting the corners of his lips. "Since you are going back to work, you ought to familiarize yourself with this."

Curious, Emmy opened the folder and was instantly stunned. It was the latest equity distribution report for Nelson Corporation. And right there in the most prominent position, it clearly stated that James now held a staggering thirty-six percent of the company's shares. He had undoubtedly become the absolute ruler of Nelson Corporation. Thinking it over, she quickly understood. From the very beginning, when James dragged Tyler Nelson down to force both of them out of the company, it had all been a calculated trap. His thunderous reclaiming of Nelson Corporation wasn't just to eradicate the cancers within the group, but also to strip them of all their equity.
