Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 478

The Starlight Cup was everywhere this year—broadcast live across the globe, even the biggest international tech forums were streaming it. The hype was unreal.

In the middle of the arena, a massive LED screen started flashing the contestants’ profiles one by one.

Suddenly, everyone zeroed in on a single résumé.

Evelina: MIT graduate, top of her class. Grand Prize winner at the 2015 AI Programming Challenge. Holds major patents like the Sentinel Security Network and Oracle Data Analysis Model.

Her credentials glowed so bright they were almost blinding.

The next profile couldn’t have looked more underwhelming.

Emmy: Belleville Institute of Technology graduate. Creator of The Dome.

That was it.

Just two lines. No fancy school, no awards, no big-name patents. Other than The Dome—a project that somehow sold big both at home and abroad—there was nothing else to write home about.

In a crowd full of Ivy League prodigies and award collectors, Emmy’s résumé was basically a punchline.

The second the contestants’ entrance opened, reporters swarmed in, making a beeline for Evelina.

She looked every bit the star—dressed in a crisp white Chanel suit, lace gloves hiding faint scars on her fingers, a sleek security case in hand. Calm and poised, she handled the media like she’d been born for it.

“Ms. Evelina, is there anyone here you’re especially looking forward to challenging?” a reporter called out.

Evelina flashed a confident smile straight at the camera. “Honestly, no.”

She paused for effect, chin lifting. “I like to focus on my own work. My biggest competition is always who I was yesterday.”

“And do you feel confident about winning the gold?”

“My AI system will answer that for me.” She patted the case in her hand, eyes lit up with ambition.

Every word was perfectly delivered—effortlessly powerful, exactly what you’d expect from someone at the top.

Cameras flashed nonstop. At that moment, it felt like everyone had already decided she’d walk away with the gold.

Meanwhile, the judges and officials started taking their seats. Patent registry officers were there, ready to evaluate any new system on the spot and hand out patents to anything truly innovative.
