Chapter 52
Silvia abruptly turned around and glared at him. “What are you trying to say?
“As long as you join me for the meal, I’ll give the project to the Pond family.”
After she had brief eye contact with Neil, a smile suddenly crossed her face. “Mr. Remus,
you’re saying that one dinner with you is equivalent to an entire project for the Pond
family? It sounds like our family’s taking a big advantage of you, isn’t it?”
Neil sensed that Silvia had more to say as he stared at her.
Just as he had expected, her smile soon turned into a sneer.
“With such a great deal on the table, I’m sure everyone from the Pond family would love to
join you for this meal. Why don’t you invite them instead?”
Silvia opened the car door and stepped out. Neil’s gaze remained icy as she walked away.
“Silvia, if Dulcie insists on pursuing the matter with Snow, Henry might lose his patience.
Things won’t turn out well for her either!”
Silvia could no longer hold back, and she turned around to give Neil a piercing look.
“It doesn’t matter. Just because Dulcie and I aren’t as powerful as Henry, we’re supposed
to hold back when Snow insults us? Is that what you’re saying?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNeil fell silent for a moment before he said, “If there’s a way to resolve this peacefully,
why escalate the situation?“”
Silvia took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes. “You only want to end this peacefully
because Henry’s your friend. I don’t blame you for taking his side, but don’t try to force
your perspective on
me.”
Neil felt that she was being unreasonable. “Silvia, Henry’s willing to pay compensation for
the dress. He and Snow are willing to apologize too. What more do you want from them?”
She had spent a whole month designing that dress, and she really looked forward to
seeing Dulcie in
1. it.
However, not only did Snow steal Dulcie’s boyfriend, but she also paraded around in that
very dress. She even damaged it on purpose. Silvia could not let this slide!
“If someone ruined Ada’s dress, could you still remain calm and say that?”
When Neil had no retort, Silvia sneered. “The truth is, I’m insignificant to you unlike Ada.
You think just because I used to like you, it gives you the right to hurt me whenever you
want to?”
The two words “used to” instantly triggered him. He could feel a surge of anger welling up
within him.
“What do you want them to do then?”

Silvia stared at him as disappointment filled her eyes. She started to question how she
could have ever fallen for Neil in the past.
“You shouldn’t ask me that. You should ask Dulcie.”
With that, Silvia left.
That night, she went straight back to her mansion in North City. They were now giving
each other the silent treatment.
Silvia’s life did not change much. In fact, her mood actually improved without Neil around.
A week later, Dulcie paid her a visit.
“Sil, Henry’s secretary contacted me. He said that Henry and Snow want to offer me a
settlement. Snow’s willing to apologize to me as well.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSensing that Dulcie was feeling conflicted, Silvia smiled and asked, “So, what do you think
about it?”
“Well, at first, I just wanted Snow to apologize to me.”
Silvia nodded and said, “Okay, then go with your plan. But don’t accept her apology too
easily. It’ll be better if you can make sure that she’s really learned a lesson.”
“Yeah. I’ve thought about it. I’ll ask her to apologize on the largest advertising screen in
Ryoln City.” “Good idea. I support you.”
With Silvia’s support, Dulcie finally felt relieved. She looked at Silvia with a hint of guilt
and said, “I feel bad that the dress has been ruined. If only I had been more careful back
then.”

Silvia nonchalantly replied, “Well, since Snow already wore it, you’d probably feel
uncomfortable wearing it again even if you got it back. At least, you can make her pay you
for ruining it now.”
“But I still feel bad. You worked so hard on it.”
“Well, you can buy me a meal to make up for it!”
Dulcie hugged her tightly. “Sil, you’re so nice to me!”
When she learned about the public apology she had to make, Snow got so angry that she
smashed everything in her living room.
