Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1488

Shelly stared at her, a voice in her head constantly reminding her of the situation. In Emmy's eyes, she was a smart person, and smart people absolutely could not afford to act foolish at a time like this. So, she assumed her former elegant and dignified posture, turning around and walking toward the sofa in the center of the living room.

She sat down gracefully, folded her hands in her lap, and looked up at Emmy. "Take a seat."

Emmy smiled, walked over, and sat down opposite her. James followed right behind with his long strides, sitting closely beside Emmy, his shoulder naturally leaning toward her, radiating pure protectiveness.

Emmy did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point. "Shelly, then I will just speak openly and honestly. To tell you the truth, I absolutely despise you, and I resent you deeply, because you brought far, far too much pain to my husband. From the moment he was born, you failed to fulfill the basic duties of a mother. You ignored him, you suppressed him. Even now, even when you have fallen this low, you are actually still trying to tear your son's family apart."

Shelly's face instantly shifted. She opened her mouth, ready to fire back a sharp retort. But Emmy did not give her a single chance to speak, powering on. "Of course, I also have to thank you."

Shelly froze, the words she was about to spit out lodged forcefully in her throat.

Emmy turned her head, looking at the man sitting beside her. "Thank you for giving birth to an incredible, indomitable man like James." As she spoke, she reached out and tightly grasped James's large hand. But the man quickly took the lead, enveloping her entire hand within his broad palm. Emmy looked at his deep, cold features, her voice softening. "Meeting him is probably the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life."
