Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 869

Emmy stopped in her tracks, then slowly stepped into the room.

“I just got here. I didn’t hear much.” Her voice was calm, almost distant, impossible to read.

Brian’s eyes lit up with curiosity. He gave Emmy a slow once-over and spoke, “I’ve heard Mrs. Sparrow is pretty sharp. Do you have any smart ideas for how we could… turn a special forces king into a cripple?”

Dean’s gaze flickered. He followed up, “Emmy, do you have any ideas?”

He reached for her hand, voice dropping to a persuasive murmur. “He’s our enemy, Emmy. He’s been after me for ages. If he’s crippled, he’ll finally give up.”

Emmy slipped her hand from his and shook her head.

“I can’t help with something like that.”

“I don’t want to hurt anyone.”

Brian shot Dean a look, mocking him wordlessly for not being able to handle his own woman.

Dean’s brow tightened. He fixed Emmy with a hard stare, his voice edged with urgency. “Emmy, think carefully. Do you want him crippled, or do you want him to come kill us?”

Emmy pressed her lips together. The idea of ruining someone’s life like that felt unbearably cruel.

She had done so much charity work before, helping people with disabilities. She’d seen up close how hard the rest of their lives could be, how deep the pain ran. It was something most people couldn’t even imagine.

But Dean insisted, if this man wasn’t stopped, they would all be in danger.

She wrestled with it for a long time, then finally asked, “But if he’s a special forces soldier, doesn’t that mean he’s a good person?”

Dean let out a sharp laugh, as if she’d just told the funniest joke in the world.

“A good person? He steals other men’s wives, forces them to have his children, and uses his status to kill innocent people at the border. Who knows how many lives he’s ruined? He’s a monster. He deserves to be taken down.”

Emmy was startled by the venom in his tone. “He’s really that bad?”

“He is.” Dean’s eyes darkened. “If we cripple him, we’re doing the world a favor.”
