It was Jake and Melanie. Both of them had gone to Royal Vista. After they noticed that Neil was not there, they gave Curtis a call. Only then did they learn that Neil had moved to Silviaâs place.
Melanie looked disgusted when she saw Silvia.
âSilvia, if it werenât for you, Neil wouldnât be in this mess right now! You should stay away from him!â
She recalled what Ada had told her. According to the tarot reader, Silvia would bring bad luck to the Pond Family. Melanie felt extremely uncomfortable with this information. It was as if she would receive bad luck just by glancing at Silvia.
Silviaâs expression was cold. Before she could speak, Neil said with a frown, âMom, if youâre going to continue spouting nonsense, just stay away from Silvia.â
Melanie took a step back and looked at him with red eyes. âNeil, itâs for your own good! This woman will only bring you disaster. You should break up with her!â
Neilâs eyes were filled with dissatisfaction as he enunciated his words, âNo way. I wonât break up with her!â
âHow dare you!â
Melanie pointed at him in frustration. Her hatred toward Silvia immediately deepened. It was Silviaâs fault that Neil had changed.
âEnough. Weâre here for Neilâs sexual harassment case. You should stop talking about other things!â Jake said seriously.
Melanie kept quiet, but she was cursing Silvia on the inside.
In her opinion, Silvia was responsible for all the bad things that happened to Neil. If he stayed away from her, nothing bad would happen to him again.
Silvia was indifferent toward Jack and Melanie. However, they were Neilâs parents so she did not want Neil to be caught in the middle. Therefore, she looked at him and said, âIâll go upstairs. You guys can carry on with your conversation.â
âAlright.â
After Silvia left, Melanie sneered. âLook at her. She doesnât respect her in-laws. A woman like that will only bring chaos to her husbandâs family.â
Neil glared at her impatiently.
âMom, if you want Silvia to respect you, you should treat her with respect first. You despise her but still demand her respect. Isnât that unrealistic?â
Melanie was speechless.
Jack was already irritated. He held back his anger and said to Neil, âI heard that this is Liamâs doing?â
When Neil heard Liamâs name, his eyes grew colder.
âYes. He seems to hate me even more than he did a few years ago. He probably still thinks that youâre behind his parentsâ death.â
Melanieâs face turned pale. After a while, she spoke through gritted teeth, âIf he really thinks so, why doesnât he show us the evidence? Itâs so shameless to do something behind someoneâs back!â
Jack glanced at her and spoke coldly, âI remember that prior to their car accident, you got into a fight with Liamâs mother.â
A hint of shock and anger flashed across Melanieâs eyes. She glared at him. âDo you think that Iâm behind it too? No matter how unhappy I am, Iâd never kill anyone!â
After Sean and Beatriceâs death, rumors spread across Ryoln City. Apparently, Melanie and Jack were dissatisfied with how Sean had been managing Remus Corporation.
When they first passed away, Melanie got busy organizing their funerals, so she did not pay attention to the rumors.
She never thought that Liam would actually believe them and hate her from then on.
The night before Liamâs sudden disappearance, he went to her and said that he would make her and Jack pay for his parentsâ death one day. It was still clear in her memory.
Melanie tried to explain, but he was not willing to listen to her. He then vanished the next day.
When he returned, he was even more unwilling to listen to her explanations. He believed wholeheartedly that she was the one behind his parentsâ
death.
Melanie felt hurt when she thought about it.
Jack snorted. âIt better not be you.â
His suspicion triggered her long-suppressed emotions. She suddenly stood up and yelled, âWhat is that supposed to mean, Jack? Are you doubting me? If you hadnât been too afraid to speak up when the rumors started, Liam wouldnât have believed that I killed his parents!â
