Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 358

Danny shot three fingers into the air, swearing like his life depended on it.

“Ms. Lincoln, whatever you tell me to do, I’ll do it. No hesitation.”

“If I ever even think about betraying you again, may I never have another good day in my life!”

“That’s enough,” Emmy said, frowning as she stepped forward to help him up. “From now on, just do whatever they ask. Act like nothing’s changed.”

Danny stood, worry written all over his face. “But Ms. Lincoln, your system—I already...”

“It doesn’t matter. If she wants you to hack, you hack. Don’t overthink it. Just go along with whatever she says.”

“All I need is for you to give me a heads-up about their moves. Let me know before anything happens, that’s all.”

Danny listened closely and nodded, serious and determined.

Emmy turned and spotted the sealed bag on her desk—the one with her hair inside.

Why did Claudia want this? Was she planning a DNA test or something?

She pressed her lips together and handed the bag to Danny.

“Give this to her, just like before. And see if you can figure out what she’s really up to. If you can’t, don’t stress. The main thing is to keep yourself safe.”

“Ms. Lincoln…” Danny took the bag, his hands shaking. “Thank you for still trusting me. I—I…”

Watching a grown man get teary-eyed, Emmy couldn’t help but sigh.

“Go grab some ice water from the fridge. Put it on your face to help the swelling. Don’t let them see anything’s off.”

She paused, her voice firmer. “Save the speeches. I only care about what you do, not what you say.”

Danny nodded hard, clutched the bag, and slipped out the door.

As soon as the door clicked shut, Emmy finally let herself breathe. She grabbed her phone and made a call.

“Keep an eye on Danny,” she ordered.

She was pretty sure Danny was on her side now. Pretty sure. But trust, once broken, never really goes back to the way it was. No matter how many promises he made, she couldn’t let herself trust him completely.

“Perfect. Get me your hair and Cooper’s. Steve’s got a friend who can rush the results—two days, tops.”

Suddenly, Emmy got an idea, her eyes lighting up.

“Wait, let’s add another test.”

“Evelina and Cooper.”

There was a beat of silence, then Abriella gasped. “Emmy! That’s genius. Seriously genius!”

Emmy hung up, scooped up Ollie, and headed straight to the family estate to grab a few strands of hair.

After that, she went to the hospital.

She and James arrived at almost the same time, James with a bag of fresh fruit in hand.

Inside the room, everyone was laughing. Ollie was in his element, being the little clown and making Teresa and Ivy giggle uncontrollably.

Emmy and James shared a look and quietly slipped out onto the balcony.
