Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 819

Nelson Corporation’s chaos was exactly the kind of opening everyone else had been waiting for.

Lately, Dean was on the losing end, tangled up with the company’s mysterious mastermind. He’d listened to Emmy and kept a low profile for a week, but that didn’t help. The other side still seemed to know his every move, always one step ahead. With just a handful of hit projects, this shadowy figure had made a name for themselves within Nelson Corporation, quickly becoming someone nobody dared to underestimate.

Right when Dean started thinking Emmy might have set him up, word got out—Mrs. Nelson had died. Dean sat in his office, staring at the crashing stock chart, a cold grin tugging at his lips. For the first time in a while, it felt like luck was finally on his side.

He didn’t hesitate. Grabbing his phone, he called his team. “Spread the word. Double down on every project we’ve got lined up. Now’s our chance, so grab every bit of Nelson Corporation’s market share we can.”

Sure enough, by the next day, the mysterious opponent who’d been dogging him for months went completely silent. All of Nelson Corporation’s deals seemed to freeze, their usual aggression suddenly gone.

But that night, Dean’s phone rang again. This time, it was the prison.

“Mr. Sparrow, Claudia wants to see you before she’s officially transferred.”

Dean didn’t even think about it. “No.”

Ben had already divorced Claudia and handed her over to the courts. Still, for some reason, the process was crawling along, every step dragging out longer than it should. Claudia kept insisting on seeing Dean, but he’d ignored her every time.

The caller paused, then added, “She asked me to pass along a message. She says she has answers to everything you want to know.”

Dean’s grip on the phone tightened. He was silent for a long moment, then finally said, “Where?”
