Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 436

Hacking into her own account was a walk in the park for Emmy.

She had it done in less than three minutes.

With a quick, decisive hit on the Enter key, a green progress bar flashed on the computer screen, showing the transfer had started.

“All set,” she said, voice steady.

Behind her, the tech guy let out a huge sigh of relief. He spun around and blurted out a string of excited words to the man lounging in the wicker chair.

Viper just snorted, yanking his knife off the table and sliding it back into the sheath strapped to his thigh.

But then everyone noticed something was wrong.

That green progress bar was crawling along, barely moving.

The tech guy’s face tightened. He rushed forward to mess with the computer, but Emmy forced herself to stand her ground and shouted, “Don’t touch it!”

She met their deadly stares, her heart slamming in her chest.

“I have to move the money out slowly, or I’ll trip the national firewall,” she said. “There’s over two hundred million in that account. If you want it all, it’s going to take at least twenty-four hours.”

That was the only time she could buy for herself.

She was gambling that as long as the money wasn’t fully in their hands, they wouldn’t dare kill her.

“You’re screwing with us, aren’t you?” the tech guy snapped, teeth clenched. “After all that, this is what I get?”

Emmy balled her hands into fists, pushing herself to stay calm. “You tried it yourself earlier. You know how hard it is. Don’t believe me? I’ll cancel it right now and you can try again.”

She slid her finger toward the cancel button.

Bang.

A gunshot exploded, the hot wind of it slicing past her ear.

Emmy shrieked and dropped to the floor, arms thrown over her head. Her ears rang.

A harsh, accented voice cut through the air, dripping with threat. “Stop wasting my time!”

“Tell me—will the money make it through or not?”
