Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 460

Evelina frowned, about to ask what was going on, but Claudia’s voice cut through the room, heavy with meaning. “Emmy managed to escape from that place.”

Evelina’s face went ghostly pale.

“No way!” Her voice cracked, trembling. “Isn’t that place supposed to be a death trap for women? No one ever comes out alive! They’re all tortured, left wishing for death, and then killed!”

Claudia’s jaw clenched, eyes burning with venom. “But Emmy did. She’s the first to make it out alive. The special forces rescued her.”

Claudia let out a bitter laugh. “Those soldiers are something else. They turn a blind eye when other hostages get taken, but the second it’s Emmy, they go in guns blazing. So unfair. If someone reported them, they’d definitely be in trouble.”

Evelina still couldn’t process it. She mumbled, “How does Emmy always get so lucky?”

Then, a cruel spark lit up her eyes. “Did those men… ruin her?” she asked quietly.

Claudia frowned, quickly running through the timeline. “She was there for at least half a day. With her looks, you know she was a target. Even if she got rescued, she’d be lucky to come out with half her life.”

And Pearl… he wasn’t just a pervert. He liked to get women hooked on drugs, watch them beg for more, and then break them completely. Their screams were music to him.

That’s why Claudia had gone to so much trouble to send Emmy into that hellhole. She’d been sure nothing could go wrong.

Never expected Emmy to walk out alive.

Hearing her mom’s analysis, Evelina finally let out a shaky breath. “The AI International Competition is on Monday. After what Emmy’s been through, she’ll be stuck in a hospital bed for weeks. She won’t show up.”

“Which means the gold medal is as good as mine.”

A triumphant grin crept across Evelina’s face. Satisfaction rushed through her. She remembered the humiliation she’d suffered at Shadow Core. No matter how awful those men had been, they were nothing compared to a psychopath like Pearl.

Emmy must have had it a hundred times worse. All the pain Evelina had felt—Emmy would pay for it, double.

Claudia’s face suddenly hardened. “How’s your project coming?”

Instantly, Evelina perked up. “Don’t worry, Mom! That system is amazing. I tested it—way better than Emmy’s self-driving program from two years ago.”
