They went to the hospital for a physical check-up. Luckily, Dulcie only had some minor wounds. She was just scared.
After the doctor left, Silvia sat down by the hospital bed.
âDulcie, what happened?â
Dulcie remained silent for a while before she said, âMy father was gambling again, and he lost five million dollars this time. They told him if he couldnât pay them, they would chop his hand off. He just sold me off to save himself!â
Silvia frowned. âDoesnât he know that youâve earned millions of dollars?â
Dulcie shook her head. âI never told him. Otherwise, he would take my money and gamble with it. I donât want him to know, and I wonât give it to him either!â
Although Dulcie was tough, Silvia felt sorry for her.
Dulcie used to have a happy family. If her father had not become addicted to gambling, the Reed family would not have gone bankrupt. Her mother would not have divorced her father and left too.
âItâs right that you didnât tell him. Dul, Iâve always wanted to ask if you plan to cut ties with your father.â
Dulcieâs eyes shone with surprise. She immediately raised her head and looked at Silvia.
âIâve never thought about it. But I know that unless I go to a place where no one knows me, Iâll live under his shadow forever.â
âGambling is illegal. Besides, he even sold you for money!â
Dulcie bit her bottom lip. She understood what Silvia was trying to say.
She closed her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly. âI need to think about it...â
If she sent her father to jail, she would feel more relaxed. At least, she would not have to worry about a debt collector coming to her.
However, she also had no idea if she would regret her decision one day.
Silvia nodded. âYes, you can take your time. You can also move away. Whenever you hear about him, just ignore it.â
âYeah, I got it. Silvia, youâve had a long night. Go back and rest. Iâm fine on my own.â
When Silvia saw that Dulcie had stabilized, she did not stay any longer.
Back home, she saw Neil waiting for her in the living room and felt a little guilty.
âMr. Remus, itâs better for your legs if you lie down.â
Neil sneered and said, âIf you really care about my health, you wouldnât have left without telling me anything. Silvia, do you know how dangerous that was?â
âI couldâve handled it.â
âWhat if there were more people tonight? You can handle a dozen people but can you deal with a hundred? No matter how great you are, your stamina is limited!â
When Silvia saw how worried he was, she looked down like a kid who had done something wrong.
âIâm sorry, Mr. Remus. I didnât tell you because I was afraid that youâd be worried.â
âWow, should I thank you?â
When Neil heard that she had gone to Grand Lounge to fight a dozen men alone, he was furious. He just wanted to bring her back and teach her a lesson so that she would not dare put herself in danger again.
After Silvia remained silent for a while, she peeked at him.
He still seemed angry. When he sensed her gaze, he glanced at her coldly.
âIâm sorry for worrying you, Mr. Remus, but itâs very late now. Weâd better rest since we still have to work tomorrow morning.â
âIâll let it go just this once!â
Silvia left it at that and said, âIâll transfer the six million to your account later. As for Angelâs Tears, I donât have that much money yet. Iâll pay you back once Iâm done collecting.â
Neilâs face was instantly filled with displeasure. She was being so calculative with him!
âItâs up to you!â
He left and did not look at her again.

ï¤Chapter 20 The Ugly Lady Strikes Back ï¤Chapter 2514 Silvia finally sighed in relief when he disappeared. Then, she transferred six million dollars to him using her phone.
She did not want to owe him more. Otherwise, she would be indebted to him forever.
The next morning, she bought breakfast and visited Dulcie at the hospital.
Just as she arrived at the ward, she heard Dulcieâs furious voice coming from inside.
âIâve told you that I didnât want to see you. Get out of here.â
