Chapter 457
“I’ll go too.”
Silvia frowned. Neil was currently caught up in a sexual harassment scandal, so he would definitely be
ridiculed if he attended the banquet.
Neil should be the star and envy of all, not hated. His name should not be slandered by unnecessary
accusations.
“I think it’d be better if you didn’t attend the banquet tonight.”
There were a few moments of silence on the phone before Neil spoke, “If you’re worried that I’ll make
you look bad if I entered at the same time as you, I can enter an hour later.”
Silvia’s heart ached for him, but she felt even more offended. “Is that how you see
me?”
“I know you’re not that kind of person, but I don’t want people to talk about you because of me.”
Silvia was puzzled as she slowly asked, “Why do you have to attend the banquet?”
“What about you?” Neil asked in return.
She instantly realized that he had figured out the reason for her attendance. She sighed in

“I knew I couldn’t hide it from you, but I don’t want you to go.”
“You’re attending the banquet because of me. Do you think I can leave you to face all that gossip
alone?” Neil said.
They had yet to publicize the fact that they were together, but they had not intentionally hidden it from
others either. Neil could already imagine people using the Elaine York case to upset Silvia tonight.
Their stalemate lasted for a brief moment before she gave in.
“Okay. We’ll both attend, but you don’t have to stay away intentionally. We’ll go in together.”
Following a long silence, Neil finally said, “Alright.”
At 7 p.m., Silvia held Neil’s hand as they walked into Skyhigh Hotel’s most luxurious banquet hall on
the fifth floor. They immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Neil was dressed in a black suit as he stood straight and tall. His entire being exuded a cold and
intimidating aura.
Meanwhile, Silvia was wearing a long strapless gown in light pink, which cinched her waist. Her
makeup was exquisite, and her long hair was slightly curled. There was a cool but also sweet air about
her. She was so beautiful that others would subconsciously stare at her.
In the past, people would have said that they were a match made in heaven. However, Neil had that
incident with Elaine, and he was no longer the president of Remus Corporation. As such, everyone
gazed at them with contempt and mockery.
“Who would’ve guessed that Neil would still be bold enough to attend this banquet? He seriously has
no shame. If I were him, I would have crawled into a hole to hide. I couldn’t

“It’s clear he does these kinds of things in private all the time. That’s why it doesn’t matter to him. I
don’t know what the Walls Family was thinking. How could they send him an invitation?!”
“You don’t know about this, but Mr. Walls and Mr. York are very close. I’m guessing that Mr. Walls
wants to use this opportunity to help the York Family out. Let’s wait and see!”

the center of the banquet hall.
When they approached him, Silvia handed her gift to the person in charge of receiving gifts at the side.
“May you be blessed with good fortune and a long healthy life,” she said with a smile.
Justus glanced at her calmly. When he saw Neil, he instantly seemed a little unhappy.
“Mr. Remus… Oh wait, I should be calling you Neil now. I heard that you did something to my god–
granddaughter when you were discussing business the other day. Is this true?”
Everyone around them listened carefully as soon as they heard this. Many people stopped talking, and
the entire banquet hall quietened down. Everyone’s eyes were focused on Neil as they wanted to see
how he would answer the question.
However, Neil was indifferent, and the expression on his face did not change a single bit.
“You’ve misunderstood me, Mr. Walls.”
Justus was momentarily stunned. “What do you mean?”
“I’m not blind, and I’m not interested in ugly girls.”
