After the call ended, he fell into deep thought. It looked like it was time to get rid of Silvia. But if she was Iris, he needed to be extra cautious.
Otherwise, he might not only fail to kill her but could also get himself into trouble.
Silvia reached Cloudwild Manor late at night. She moved silently and quickly sneaked into Neilâs mansion.
He did not live there, so no one else was around except for a few servants and bodyguards.
Taking advantage of the night, she avoided everyone as she looked through the mansion. However, she could not find Blanche.
After some thought, she tried searching for the basement.
About ten minutes later, she finally discovered the entrance to the basement behind a storage room.
Silvia hurriedly approached the door. Just as she was about to unlock it, the lights in the mansion suddenly turned on.
She had a bad feeling and wanted to run away. However, someone grabbed her wrist.
The familiar scent of pine filled the air, and Neilâs cold voice rang out behind her.
âSil, can you explain why youâre here?â
She shook off his hand and faced him with a straight face.
âNeil, why ask if you already know the reason?â
Realizing that she was on guard, Neilâs gaze darkened. âI told you that Iâll release her in a few days. Why donât you trust me?â
Silvia sneered. âAny trust between us is long gone.â
âIâll ask someone to take you back.â
âIâm already here. I wonât leave without Blanche.â
After a brief silence, Neil softly said, âFine. If you refuse to leave, stay here for the night.â
Silvia was speechless.
She felt somewhat helpless as she faced his serious gaze.
âNeil, I donât want to waste time with you. What will it take for you to let Blanche go?â
She was in his mansion, so she knew that a direct confrontation would not yield good results.
Neil stared at her and pondered for a few seconds. Then, he said, âIf you spend the night with me, Iâll release her.â
Silviaâs face instantly turned red with anger. âYouâre going too far!â
Seeing her flushed face and ears, Neil cocked an eyebrow in amusement.
âDid you misunderstand me? When I say âspend the night,â I literally mean sleeping. Itâs not the kind of intimate act youâre thinking of.â
Mr. Remus, Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce âAre you jealous?â
Hearing this, the smile on her face faded. âI donât have time for that.â
She turned to leave immediately after.
She had only taken a couple of steps when Neil hugged her tightly from behind.
Silvia was stunned, but she soon started to struggle vigorously.
âLet me go, Neil!â
