Neil got into the car and instructed the driver to start driving.
Once the black Maybach merged into traffic, Neil glanced at Silvia in displeasure and said, âDidnât I tell you to stay away from Ryan?â
âMr. Remus, MY Corporation has a collaboration with Anderson Corporation. Itâs natural for me to have dinner with him. Iâm not sure what you mean by âstay away.â Should I not meet him at all? If I bump into him, do I need to act as if I donât know him?â
Seeing the mockery in her eyes, Neil fell silent for a moment and said, âThatâs not what I meant.â
âI donât care what you meant. You mentioned wanting to talk last night. What did you want to talk about?â
âI hope youâll reconsider what you said the last time.â
Silvia frowned and said, âI donât see the need for further consideration. You and Iââ
Before she could finish, Neil grabbed her chin and kissed her.
She was momentarily stunned. She instinctively tried to break free but failed.
After the kiss, she panted as lay on his chest. She had lost all energy.
He gazed at her and asked, âDeep down, you still have feelings for me, donât you? Why donât you give us another chance?â
Once she regained her composure, she pushed him away with a glare.
âMr. Remus, even if I still have feelings for you, that doesnât mean I want to get back with you. Youâll never completely cut off contact with Ada, and I wonât let myself repeat the same mistake!â
Neilâs eyes darkened as he softly said, âThereâs nothing between me and her.â
âNothing? Are you sure? Then why do you take her to every business event? Why do you let people assume that sheâs your girlfriend? Neil, donât treat me like a fool!â
After a brief silence, he said, âI canât explain it right now, but I want to assure you that there was nothing between me and Ada in the past. Iâm confident nothing will happen in the future either.â
Silvia had a scornful look. âSave it for someone whoâs willing to believe you.â
âIâll prove it to you through my actions.â
She did not respond. Once the car stopped at the mansionâs entrance, she turned to Neil and seriously said, âMr. Remus, you donât have to do all this.
Your actions are meaningless to me now.â
During their three years of marriage, she had given him many chances, but he never appreciated them.
Even if he was willing to explain and give her all kinds of promises now, it meant nothing to her.
With that, she opened the car door and left.
Neil did not approach her in the following days. He continued to attend various events with Ada, and they often became the focus of entertainment news. However, they never offered any explanation.
Before long, news of Adaâs appointment as the president of Perficient spread widely.
Dulcie expressed her discontent after she read about it.
âSheâs just being appointed the companyâs president. Why are they making it sound so grand? Anyone unaware might think sheâs about to become a queen.â
Silvia glanced at her in amusement and said, âYou donât seem fond of her.â
âOf course! I despised her even before my family went bankrupt because I knew that she was deceitful. Once I saw her deliberately plotting against you, my hatred for her only grew!â
âSheâs our competitor now, and with Remus Corporation backing her, we need to be alert. Otherwise, Perficient might overshadow us.â
Dulcie nodded. âWith you here, we wonât lose to Perficient.â
Silvia chuckled. âHave you forgotten that weâve lost a few times?â
Dulcie sneered. âIf she hadnât secured Remus Corporationâs support, our potential collaborators wouldnât have chosen Perficient. Sheâs only taking advantage of Remus Corporation.â
âItâs not easy to take advantage of Remus Corporation, but she did it. Anyway, these are the signed contracts. You can take them.â
âOkay, Iâll get back to work.â

Leroy was still a little nervous and hesitant.
âSigwald, Iâm a little scared about carrying this fake bomb. What if it actually explodes?â
Sigwaldâs expression was cold, but his voice remained gentle. âDonât worry. Thereâs only mud inside. Nothing will happen. Think about it. If Silvia hadnât interfered, Dulcie would have helped you!
âWeâre just trying to scare her so that she wonât dare interfere with the Reed Familyâs affairs anymore. Besides, Iâve paid off your gambling debt. Do you think Iâd harm you?â
