Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Curtis lowered his head guiltily. “Mr. Remus, we’re still searching. Shortly after Miss Silvia left themansion, she disappeared from the surveillance camera. Tracking her down has been challenging. Asof now, we haven’t been able to pinpoint her exact location.” “Keep searching!” Once Curtis left, Neil’sfrustration grew. He could no longer concentrate on the documents. …… It was past midnight whenSilvia returned to her mansion in North City. She barely had the energy to open the door. Unfortunately,her legs gave way as soon as she stepped inside. As such, she collapsed on the floor. Suddenly,someone grabbed her by the waist. Silvia wanted to see who it was, but she lacked the energy to openher eyes. Just before she lost consciousness, she heard a faint sigh. When Silvia regainedconsciousness, she noticed that someone had tended to her injuries. She sat up, put on her pajamas,and slowly walked outside. She was drenched in sweat by the time she got downstairs. Hearing voicesfrom the kitchen, she headed in that direction and saw Chris walking out with a bowl of chicken soup.Chris was surprised to see Silvia. He quickly put the bowl on a table and rushed over to support her.“The doctor said you need to—” Before he could finish, Silvia pressed a dagger against his throat.“Why are you here?!” Silvia sounded cold unlike her usual self. She had already told Chris not to comeagain. Yet, he showed up after she got injured last night. It was too much of a coincidence. Chris wasstunned before he explained, “I left a script here. When I returned to retrieve it, I saw you collapse. Irealized you were injured after I helped you up, so I called a doctor to tend to your wounds.” Seeingthat Silvia was still doubtful, he helplessly said, “If I really wanted to harm you, do you think you’d stillbe alive right now?” After a brief silence, Silvia finally lowered the dagger. She looked at himapologetically and said, “I’m sorry for misunderstanding you.” Chris smiled. “It’s alright. Also, you don’thave to worry. I won’t ask you about anything. The doctor will keep this a secret too.” “Okay.” OnceChris noticed that Silvia had finally lowered her defenses, he brought her the bowl of chicken soup andsaid, “Have some soup first. You lost a lot of blood, so you need to regain your strength.” “Thank you.”As Silvia sipped on the soup, the doorbell suddenly rang. Chris walked over to the door and saw Neiloutside. A cunning look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly opened the door. “Mr. Remus, Silvia is—”Chris did not get to finish his sentence as Neil pushed him aside and entered. Neil’s expression turned

cold when he spotted Silvia. “Silvia Pond! You’ve been missing for days because you’ve been with yourboy toy the whole time?!” Before Silvia could respond, Chris explained, “Mr. Remus, please don’tmisunderstand. Silvia—” “I’m not talking to you! Is Silvia mute? Why do you need to speak on herbehalf?!” Neil cut him off in a chilly tone. Chris’s expression darkened. He frowned and said, “You’reSilvia’s husband, but you seem unaware of what she’s been through the past few—” “Chris!” Taking adeep breath, Silvia calmly gazed at him and said, “Thank you for taking care of me. You can leave now.I’ll treat you to dinner someday as a token of my gratitude.” Disappointment crossed Chris’s eyes, buthe nodded and said, “Alright. Take care and rest well.” Then, Chris took his script and left. Only Silviaand Neil were left in the living room. An oppressive silence filled the air. Silvia continued to drink hersoup as if nothing had happened. Neil sneered when he saw this. “Don’t you think you owe me anexplanation?” Silvia said nothing. She got up, retrieved a card from a drawer near the TV, and placed iton the table. “There’s fifty million on this card. Let’s get divorced tomorrow.” She sounded indifferent.“Silvia Pond!” Neil glared at her. He grabbed her wrist and sternly asked, “What’s between you andChris Rios?!” His grip nearly caused her to stumble. She shot him an impatient look. “You saw ityourself. I’ve prepared fifty million dollars like you requested. Can we get a divorce now?” Neil scoffedwith an icy gaze. “Is this fifty million your reward for spending time with him these past few days? ChrisRios is pretty generous, but are you worth that much?” Seeing the disdain and mockery in his eyes,Silvia frowned. “How I got this money has nothing to do with you. Don’t forget that you promised todivorce me if I give you the money!” Neil threw the bank card onto the table and stared at Silvia. “Youmay not replace it distasteful to get the money this way, but I do!” Anger flashed in Siliva’s eyes. “Are yougoing to back out of our deal?!” “I set the rules! I won’t accept this money or agree to a divorce!” Silviasneered as she looked at his angry face. “Neil, I never expected you to be so forgiving. You think that Ihad S** with Chris, yet you still refuse to divorce me. I’m impressed!” Neil’s gaze turned cold. “You’vebeen unfaithful to me, so why would I comply with your wishes?” “Whatever. I gave you the money, butyou refused to accept it. In that case, I’ll file for divorce!” “Go ahead. Let’s see who dares to take yourcase!” Immediately after, Neil left the mansion. Silvia’s b*dy reached its limit after she stood up for solong. She sank into her chair as blood seeped from her injured abdomen. Over the next few days,

Silvia rested in the mansion in North City. She only returned to work once she made a full recovery. Onher first day back at work, Darrion mocked and ridiculed her during a meeting. “Miss Pond, youdisappeared for a few days after you offended Mr. Walls. You’re the president. Don’t you think youshould have some sense of responsibility?” Silvia scoffed. She slammed the document on the tableand gave Darrion a cold look. “I have a question too, Mr. Torres. You’re aware that Mr. Walls is apervert, so why did you have me negotiate this deal? What’s your hidden motive?” Silvia’s forthrightapproach caught Darrion off guard. He was momentarily stunned before he clenched his teeth andsaid, “Mr. Walls is an important client of the company. What’s the harm in sacrificing yourself if it allowsus to secure a deal with him? Miss Pond, if you’re unwilling to make sacrifices, how can we trust you tomanage the company effectively?” Silvia could not be bothered to show him respect. “If you’re so keenon making sacrifices, why don’t you sleep with Justus Walls? Once you successfully get him to sign thecontract, I’ll reward you handsomely,” she said coldly. Darrion’s face turned red with anger. Heslammed his hand on the table and stormed out. Silvia was indifferent to his leaving. “Let’s continue ourmeeting.” After the meeting, Silvia asked everyone to leave except for Sigwald. Sigwald was a littleanxious, but he put on a calm front. “Miss Pond, what can I do for you?” Silvia gave him a friendly smileand said, “Well, I just want to remind you not to pick the wrong side. Otherwise, you might end up withnothing.” Sigwald was Dulcie’s uncle. Three years ago, Leroy Reed, Dulcie’s father, had borrowedmoney from Sigwald to gamble. He lost, so Dulcie offered Sigwald 10% of MY Corporation’s shares tosettle the debt. This made Sigwald a shareholder of the company. Silvia was okay with it as long as theshareholders did not cause any trouble. However, if they intended to create problems behind thescenes, she would kick them out one by one. Sigwald continued to smile. “Don’t worry, Miss Pond. Iwon’t take sides.” “Good to know.” Later that evening, Silvia found Neil standing at the door when shereturned to the mansion. She frowned and intended to ignore him. However, he grabbed her wrist asshe walked past him. “Silvia, come back with me!”
