Chapter 13

Silvia looked at her indifferently. “You’re in no position to ask me that.” Then, she turned around andwent upstairs. She could hear Ada’s cold voice behind her. “Stop!” Silvia sneered before she turnedaround and looked at Ada with ridicule. “You’re the most brazen homewrecker I’ve met.” Ada’sexpression changed. She stared at Silvia and said, “I’m the one Neil loves. Even if you play your tricksand stay here, he’ll never fall for you. If you know your place, divorce him as soon as possible!” It wouldbe best if Silvia never showed herself again! Silvia smiled as she nodded and said, “Sure. Give me fiftymillion dollars. I’ll divorce him immediately.” Ada’s eyes widened in shock. She gritted her teeth andsaid, “Hasn’t Neil given you enough money all these years? Don’t be so greedy, Silvia!” “You’re the onewho’s rushing me to divorce Neil. How can you achieve your goal without sacrificing something?” “Howdare you!” Mockery shone in Silvia’s eyes. “It looks like your love for Neil isn’t that great. You’re noteven willing to pay fifty million dollars.” Just as Ada was about to reply, she saw Neil on the staircase.She instantly made herself look pitiful. “Silvia, it’s not that I don’t want to give you fifty million dollars. It’sjust that Neil will definitely get angry if he replaces out.” “Why would you want him to know? Can’t you justkeep it from him?” Ada kept quiet. At this time, an unfriendly voice came from the staircase. “SilviaPond, I actually thought you were capable enough to obtain fifty million dollars. But it turns out that youwere going to take advantage of Ada!” Silvia looked at Neil’s cold gaze as she nonchalantly said, “Ithought that Ada would be very happy to offer me fifty million dollars, so I gave her a chance.” WhenAda realized that the two of them had ignored her, she subconsciously clutched the hem of her skirt.Gloominess filled her eyes. “Neil, what is this fifty million dollars about? If Silvia really needs the money,I’ll lend it to her.” Silvia cast a meaningful look at Ada. Before she could respond, Neil harshly said, “It’snone of your business. If she asks you for money again, reject her.” Silvia missed a chance to get fiftymillion dollars. She pouted and refused to humor the two of them anymore. She went upstairs andplanned to continue sleeping. However, the moment she passed by Neil, he abruptly grabbed her wrist.Then, he whispered a warning, “Silvia, if I ever see you asking Ada for money again, I won’t divorceyou even if you get the fifty million dollars!” When Ada saw their intimate interaction from downstairs,she became so angry that her eyes turned red. Silvia swung Neil’s hand away before she took a step

backward and spoke with a cold expression, “I got it. Please behave yourself. Don’t get so close to me.You make me feel uneasy!” Neil narrowed his eyes. There was malice in his gaze. “Silvia Pond, don’tprovoke me!” Silvia did not even look at him. She turned around and locked the door after she enteredher room. Neil glared at the bedroom door. “Neil…” Ada’s voice snapped him out of his daze. He turnedaround and quickly went downstairs. He looked at Ada with a frown and asked, “Why are you here soearly?” Sensing that he was unhappy, she bit her l*p. “I was worried about you, so I came over to checkon you. I didn’t expect that Silvia would be here either. I wouldn’t have come over if I had known thatshe was back.” Neil subconsciously furrowed his brows. “Ada, Silvia’s my wife.” Ada’s eyes instantlyturned red. “But we like each other. Besides, there’s no love between you and Silvia. Why do you wantto save a marriage with no love?” Neil fell silent for a while. Then, he stared at Ada and slowly said,“Our relationship is over. Even if I don’t like her, she’s still my wife. That won’t change.” Ada’s tearsbegan to fall. Her eyes were full of disbelief. “Is it simply because she took the opportunity to marry youand take care of you for two years when you got into that accident? Is that why you’ve fallen for her?” “Idon’t love her, but I won’t divorce her either.” “Why?” “I couldn’t stand for two years after that caraccident. She was the one who kept me company and took care of me.” Besides, when Neil thought ofdivorcing Silvia, he felt a sense of unaccountable irritation. Ada started to sob. “You can’t divorce her,but what about me? Your accident was hidden from me. By the time I found out, you had gottenmarried. Did you know how I felt?” she cried out. “I wanted to come back and question you, but I feltthat it was meaningless. There are other ways to thank her. Why would you sacrifice your whole life forher?” Neil seemed slightly indifferent. He stared at Ada as he said, “It was my fault. I felt guilty about it.I allowed you to live in that mansion when you returned to the country. I’m also pushing for theacquisition of MY Corporation because you want it. I can give you whatever you want except my love.”After he spoke, he left without checking on her. She stared at his back with teary eyes and feltresentment. She would not give up just like that! When Silvia went downstairs again, Neil and Ada wereno longer there. She just headed to her company without caring about what had happened betweenthem. Right after she reached her office, she gave Dulcie a call and asked her to come over. “I’ll beaway for a few days starting from tomorrow. You can handle the company’s affairs in the meantime. But

if you encounter something that you really can’t handle, just wait for my return.” “Okay, I got it.” WhenSilvia noticed that Dulcie was still around, she looked up at her. “Is there anything else?” “Yes. Darrionwill probably trouble you during the meeting later. After you fired his staff members yesterday, I heardthat he lost his temper in the office.” Silvia nodded. “Okay. You carry on with your work.” After Dulcieleft, Silvia lowered her head and continued to read some documents. She clearly did not take thewarning seriously. The meeting started on time at 10:00 a.m. Silvia emphasized the latest work planand company focus before she glanced at the others indifferently. “If there’s nothing else, we’ll end herefor today. Dismissed.” Right after she said that, Darrion spoke, “Miss Pond, I have something to say.”Silvia looked at him calmly. “What is it?” Darrion smiled. “Miss Pond, our company hasn’t been able tonegotiate a particular deal recently. If you step in, we’ll definitely gain the other party’s cooperation.Besides, you left MY Corporation for three years, so we’d also like to know how capable you are. Afterall, this is a huge company. We can’t just leave it in the hands of someone incompetent.” Silvia wore afaint smile. She nodded and said, “Sure. Please send the contract to my office later.” Darrion did notexpect Silvia to say yes so quickly. After he was momentarily stunned, he finally said, “Okay. I’ll lookforward to you getting this deal as soon as possible, Miss Pond!” After the meeting ended, Dulciefollowed Silvia into her office. “Miss Pond, I told you to be careful of Darrion. Why did you still fall intohis trap?”
