Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 412

Isabel took a few steps forward, looking at the two of them with an exasperated sigh.

“All right, Abriella. Mandy definitely crossed a line today, but you seriously overreacted. I’ll talk to her, but you should really think about your own actions, too. Try not to be so hot-headed next time.”

Abriella just rolled her eyes. “Why do you even care?”

She suddenly closed in on Isabel, her voice dropping to a whisper only they could hear.

“When I said someone slept their way up, I was talking about you.”

She smiled coldly. “If you keep sticking your nose in my business, I won’t mind airing out every single thing you did back then.”

Instantly, Isabel’s face went pale.

She looked at Abriella, seeing nothing but open mockery and threat in her eyes.

Biting her lip, Isabel forced herself to push down the panic and turned to Emmy instead.

“Emmy, did you and your husband just move in?”

Emmy just nodded, her tone neutral and a little distant. “Yeah.”

Isabel picked up on it right away. Emmy had never acted this distant before.

Did Abriella already tell her about that incident?

In their world, a scandal like sleeping your way to the top was enough to ruin someone forever.

Isabel took a steadying breath, her concern suddenly sounding a bit too careful.

“I heard your husband’s a firefighter, right? And people are saying you married him not long ago, but then started seeing Mr. Nelson behind his back… Of course, that’s all just gossip. I don’t believe it for a second.”

She paused, then added pointedly, “So if you ever hear any rumors about me, I hope you won’t believe them either. You know who I am better than anyone, don’t you?”

Emmy frowned slightly. She really hated when Isabel got like this. She actually missed the Isabel from four years ago—the one who was genuine, not always testing the waters.

“Isabel, you know I’m just working with Mr. Nelson. There’s nothing else going on, and I can tell what’s true and what’s not. So you don’t have to worry.”

She shut down Isabel’s probing with just one calm reply.
