Chapter 13
Silvia looked at her indifferently. “You’re in no position to ask me that.” Then, she turned around and went upstairs. She could hear Ada’s cold voice behind her. “Stop!” Silvia sneered before she turned around and looked at Ada with ridicule. “You’re the most brazen homewrecker I’ve met.” Ada’s expression changed. She stared at Silvia and said, “I’m the one Neil loves. Even if you play your tricks and stay here, he’ll never fall for you. If you know your place, divorce him as soon as possible!” It would be best if Silvia never showed herself again! Silvia smiled as she nodded and said, “Sure. Give me fifty million dollars. I’ll divorce him immediately.” Ada’s eyes widened in shock. She gritted her teeth and said, “Hasn’t Neil given you enough money all these years? Don’t be so greedy, Silvia!” “You’re the one who’s rushing me to divorce Neil. How can you achieve your goal without sacrificing something?” “How dare you!” Mockery shone in Silvia’s eyes. “It looks like your love for Neil isn’t that great. You’re not even 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’s just that Neil will definitely get angry if he finds out.” “Why would you want him to know? Can’t you just keep it from him?” Ada kept quiet. At this time, an unfriendly voice came from the staircase. “Silvia Pond, I actually thought you were capable enough to obtain fifty million dollars. But it turns out that you were going to take advantage of Ada!” Silvia looked at Neil’s cold gaze as she nonchalantly said, “I thought that Ada would be very happy to offer me fifty million dollars, so I gave her a chance.” When Ada 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’s none of your business. If she asks you for money again, reject her.” Silvia missed a chance to get fifty million dollars. She pouted and refused to humor the two of them anymore. She went upstairs and planned 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 divorce you 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.

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’t provoke me!” Silvia did not even look at him. She turned around and locked the door after she entered her room. Neil glared at the bedroom door. “Neil…” Ada’s voice snapped him out of his daze. He turned around and quickly went downstairs. He looked at Ada with a frown and asked, “Why are you here so early?” Sensing that he was unhappy, she bit her l*p. “I was worried about you, so I came over to check on you. I didn’t expect that Silvia would be here either. I wouldn’t have come over if I had known that she was back.” Neil subconsciously furrowed his brows. “Ada, Silvia’s my wife.” Ada’s eyes instantly turned red. “But we like each other. Besides, there’s no love between you and Silvia. Why do you want to 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 tears began to fall. Her eyes were full of disbelief. “Is it simply because she took the opportunity to marry you and take care of you for two years when you got into that accident? Is that why you’ve fallen for her?” “I don’t love her, but I won’t divorce her either.” “Why?” “I couldn’t stand for two years after that car accident. She was the one who kept me company and took care of me.” Besides, when Neil thought of divorcing 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 gotten married. Did you know how I felt?” she cried out. “I wanted to come back and question you, but I felt that it was meaningless. There are other ways to thank her. Why would you sacrifice your whole life for her?” 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 the acquisition 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 felt resentment. She would not give up just like that! When Silvia went downstairs again, Neil and Ada were no longer there. She just headed to her company without caring about what had happened between them. Right after she reached her office, she gave Dulcie a call and asked her to come over. “I’ll be away 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.” When Silvia noticed that Dulcie was still around, she looked up at her. “Is there anything else?” “Yes. Darrion will probably trouble you during the meeting later. After you fired his staff members yesterday, I heard that he lost his temper in the office.” Silvia nodded. “Okay. You carry on with your work.” After Dulcie left, Silvia lowered her head and continued to read some documents. She clearly did not take the warning seriously. The meeting started on time at 10:00 a.m. Silvia emphasized the latest work plan and company focus before she glanced at the others indifferently. “If there’s nothing else, we’ll end here for 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 to negotiate 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. After all, this is a huge company. We can’t just leave it in the hands of someone incompetent.” Silvia wore a faint smile. She nodded and said, “Sure. Please send the contract to my office later.” Darrion did not expect Silvia to say yes so quickly. After he was momentarily stunned, he finally said, “Okay. I’ll look forward to you getting this deal as soon as possible, Miss Pond!” After the meeting ended, Dulcie followed Silvia into her office. “Miss Pond, I told you to be careful of Darrion. Why did you still fall into his trap?”
