Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1520

Mercedes continued, "But that lunatic is hiding too well, especially after James showed up in Nelia. He's buried himself even deeper, and Calony's men can't get a grip on him!" Staring intently at Emmy, Mercedes finally revealed her true motive for visiting. "If you show up, you might be able to lure that psycho out. The other reason I came here today is to convince you to go to Nelia. As long as you act as bait to draw Dean out into the open, Calony can capture him while simultaneously seizing those mineral resources!"

Emmy frowned in deep thought, saying nothing.

Having held back as long as she could, Nina glared at Mercedes and burst out, "No! Absolutely not! Nelia is an active warzone right now! Before Mr. Nelson left, he explicitly ordered that Mrs. Nelson is not to go anywhere dangerous!"

Surprisingly, Mercedes didn't mock Nina this time. She actually softened her tone toward the young bodyguard, even sounding slightly reassuring. "Don't worry. Major General Calony will deploy his most elite personnel to protect your boss. As long as she agrees to go, I guarantee she won't lose a single strand of hair."

Emmy lifted her eyelashes, her voice cold. "Let me think about it."

Mercedes's tone grew urgent. "You only have one week to decide. Because a week from now is your husband's wedding to that idiot princess. If everything goes smoothly, Major General Calony can launch a coordinated attack with your husband to wipe out the Caleba Delta and capture Dean in one fell swoop!" Without wasting another breath, Mercedes grabbed the signed contract and stood up. Her high heels clicked against the floor as she headed for the door, the two plainclothes soldiers immediately falling into step behind her.

Emmy sat on the sofa, her brows tightly knit, plunging into a long, heavy silence.

Nina was pacing like a cat on a hot tin roof. "Mrs. Nelson, please don't listen to that woman's nonsense! She's definitely up to no good and wants to get you killed! What does she mean you can lure Dean out just by showing up? He's hiding so well, why would he stupidly run out into the open just because he sees you? Nelia is in the middle of a war! People are dying there every single day! You absolutely, positively cannot go!" Nina's voice cracked, on the verge of tears. "And you don't need to worry about Mr. Nelson marrying someone else. It's just a temporary ploy to destroy that hellhole! Once he resolves the situation, he will definitely come back in one piece. Please don't do anything impulsive!"
