Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1508

Watching her teeter on the verge of collapse, Steve nodded with an incredibly solemn expression. But he immediately rushed to backtrack, frantically adding, "But that list isn't necessarily completely accurate! It's just a preliminary roster compiled based on who was riding in that convoy! Old James is a Special Forces operative, a legendary soldier who crawled out from mountains of corpses and seas of blood! He isn't necessarily dead!"

But his reassurances did absolutely nothing to stop the catastrophic collapse of Emmy's reason. Her vision went black, and her legs gave out, causing her to uncontrollably stumble backward.

"Madam!" Nina instantly lunged forward, catching Emmy by the waist.

At that exact moment, the wedding officiant's passionate, joyous voice rang out from the center of the lawn. "Honored guests, please gather toward the stage! We are about to witness the sacred wedding ceremony of Mr. Will and Ms. Abriella!"

The cheerful, triumphant wedding march soared into the sky, but to Emmy, it felt like a dull blade violently sawing at her nerves. Her hand shot back to grip Nina's arm in a death hold. She stood frozen for a long while, barely managing to keep herself from completely breaking down. With a deathly pale face, she chanted to herself in her heart over and over again. James couldn't have been killed! He wouldn't be! That man was so powerful he was practically invincible, how could he... Absolutely impossible!

She jerked her head up, her bloodshot eyes piercing into Steve. "If this was so important, why didn't you tell me sooner?! I explicitly warned you that this trip was fatal!"

Steve looked entirely utterly helpless. "Emmy, you know Old James's temper. If he told me to keep my mouth shut, I wouldn't dare tell you. But now that the news has leaked that casualty list, you were bound to see it on your phone eventually even if I said nothing. I was terrified you'd see the news alone and let your imagination run wild from the shock, so I rushed over to explain it to you in person."

Forcing herself to remain lucid, Emmy demanded, "Then tell me, at what exact point did you lose contact with him? Was it before or after those people were murdered?"
