With a resigned look, Silvia said, âA new staff member accidentally put the dress I had designed for your birthday on display. Someone took a liking to it and tried to purchase it.â
Dulcie looked at her curiously. âWhat does it look like? Since we have a party tonight, can you tell Kimberly to send it to me? Iâd like to wear it to the party!â
âYour birthdayâs still half a month away. Iâll give it to you when the time comes. Now, get to work. I have some documents to review.â
Dulcie tried to make Silvia change her mind but failed, so she could only resume her work.
In the evening, Silvia received a call from Neil just as she was about to get off work.
âIâm downstairs. When will you be done with work?â
Neil sounded cold. He was obviously still upset about what had happened last night.
âAt 5 p.m. Thereâs about ten minutes left. If youâre in a hurry, I can go down now.â
âNo need. Iâll wait for you.â
Once it was time to punch out, Silvia set her work aside and headed downstairs.
After she stepped out of MY Corporation, she noticed a black Maybach by the road.
She then walked up to the car. The moment she entered it, she could sense the hostility in the car.
Neil kept his eyes on a document as he directed the driver to start driving.
The two remained silent on their way to the Pond Familyâs mansion. Just as the car was about to stop at the entrance, Silvia turned to Neil and said, âIf someone asks why I came with you, just tell them that Ada told you to pick me up on your way here.â
Neil glared at Silvia. âAm I so embarrassing that you wonât even tell the truth?â
âWeâve kept our marriage a secret for three years. Plus, weâre about to divorce soon. Thereâs no reason to tell everyone about our marriage.â
Neil sneered and spoke with ridicule, âWorried that it might hinder your search for a new husband, huh?â
A hint of surprise crossed Silviaâs eyes, but she replied emotionlessly, âI see that you understand.â
Mr. Remus, Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce ï¤Chapter 20 Watch Out, CEO Daddy!
ï¤Chapter 20 Right before Silvia stepped out of the car, Neil grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
She frowned as she tried to push him away, but he coldly interrupted her. âSilvia, you keep testing my patience!â
At the same time, the Pond Family had heard of Neilâs arrival. Hence, they gathered outside the car to welcome him.
Jeremy led the crowd with a smug grin.
Neilâs appearance at the birthday party was a great show of respect toward him and the Pond Family. It also served as a warning to those who were scheming against the Pond Family.
Mindy looked proud as well. Neil would not have come if it were not for Ada. It was all thanks to her excellent parenting!
However, they felt a little uneasy after they waited for a few minutes. Neil showed no sign of exiting the car.
The guests had seen the Pond Familyâs excitement upon hearing about Neilâs arrival. Hence, they followed the family outside. When they did not spot Neil, they started to talk among themselves.
âWhatâs wrong? Has Mr. Remus not arrived?â
âI suppose the Pond Family must have offended him somehow, so heâs staying in the car to humiliate them!â
âHasnât Mr. Remus taken a liking to Ada? Even if the Pond Family did offend him, wouldnât Ada be able to smooth things over? Did he and Ada get into a fight, so now, heâs waiting for her to welcome him?â
The murmurings of the guests did not escape the ears of the Pond Family. Even Jeremy cast a glance at Ada.
âAda, invite Mr. Remus in.â
