Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 428

“Aaah!”

Evelina’s scream tore through the room, panic flooding her as she jerked back.

“I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything—just don’t hurt my hand!”

She couldn’t let anything happen to her hands. Not now.

In just one week, the AI International Competition was kicking off. Her fingers couldn’t handle even the tiniest injury.

She had to win gold. She had to become Dominic’s prized student.

Her hands were everything. She couldn’t risk them.

Her mind spun, desperate for a way out.

Judging by the wild, desperate look on Dean’s face, the plan must’ve already worked. That woman was the best in the entire organization—she’d never failed a job. By now, Emmy was probably already on that ship headed straight for hell.

Emmy would be dragged into that awful place, swallowed up by the shadows, ripped apart by those monsters.

That was exactly what Evelina wanted—she wanted Emmy to suffer, to wish she was dead.

Even if Dean figured it out now, he was too late.

Trading a dead girl’s whereabouts for her own hand? That was a good deal.

Tears streamed down Evelina’s face as she spit out the truth, words tumbling over each other in her haste.

“It was Tim! Emmy’s cousin! After Cooper lost the lawsuit and didn’t get a cent, he lost it!”

“He… he got together with a bunch of criminals. They’re selling Emmy off to South America…”

She could barely talk, sobbing so hard her breath caught in her throat. She looked up at Dean, her eyes begging.

“Dean, I told you everything. Please, go save her… just let me go, please—my hand—my hand hurts so much…”

But Dean’s eyes only grew colder, darker, until there was nothing left but rage. He brought the bottle down hard.

The crack echoed through the air.

Evelina shrieked, her body curling in pain.

Dean let her go, looming over her like a shadow, his voice so cold it sent chills down her spine.

“That makes you an accomplice.”

“Listen up, Evelina. If anything—anything—happens to her, you won’t get an easy death.”

“I’ll tear you apart piece by piece. I’ll make you feel every single second of it.”

He spun and stormed out, leaving her in a heap on the floor.
