Chris was taken aback. He subconsciously gripped the doorknob, frozen with shock. “Chris,
why are you standing at the…” Silvia’s words trailed off as she spotted Neil standing
opposite Chris. She frowned while she dried her hair with a towel. “Why are you here?”
Neil sneered and glared at her. “Looks like I’ve come at the wrong time. Am I interrupting
you two?” Silvia clenched the towel as she put on a calm facade. “You’ve probably seen
the divorce agreement. When are you free? We need the divorce certificate,” she said.
“Silvia Pond, I never agreed to the divorce! Come back with me!” Noticing Neil’s intention
to grab Silvia’s hand, Chris quickly stood in front of Silvia. Neil glared at Chris, and his
voice was cold. “Get lost if you don’t want to be shut out by all media!” Chris gave Neil a
cold glance and confronted him with a fearless attitude. “Mr. Remus, I’m afraid it won’t be
easy to do so. Besides, Silvia doesn’t want to go with you.” Chris had formed numerous
connections in the entertainment industry over the years. He would not be ruined just
because Neil wanted him gone. Neil’s expression turned malicious. He took his phone out
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto make a call. Silvia had been standing behind Chris. Right then, she said, “Neil, don’t get
unrelated people involved. Let’s talk.” Neil put his phone down as his anger escalated. He
stared at her with contempt and said, “Are you worried about him? I’ve been away from
Ryoln City for only a month, but you’ve already found yourself a sugar baby. How
‘efficient’ of you!” Silvia ignored him and turned to Chris. “Chris, you can go inside. I’ll talk
with him..” Chris was worried, but he was in no position to interfere with their affairs since
they were married. “Okay. Just call out if you need help.” Once Chris left, Silvia turned
back to Neil. However, Neil immediately dragged her away. “What are you doing?!” Silvia
was furious. Neil was inconsiderate even when they were about to get a divorce. She
regretted her decision to marry him! Neil remained hostile and said nothing. He pushed
Silvia into the car forcefully, got in from the other side, and started the engine. He drove
so fast that they traveled halfway down the mountain in no time. Silvia looked at him
angrily. “Let me out! Neil Remus, why are you doing this?!” “Fasten your seat belt!” Neil
gripped the steering wheel. The veins in his hands bulged. He was obviously infuriated.
Silvia did not do as he asked. She looked at him indifferently and said, “Neil, I wasn’t being
impulsive or unreasonable when I said I wanted a divorce. I meant it.” The Black Maybach
screeched to a halt on the side of the road. The inertia made Silvia hit her head on the
windshield. The pain made her frown and take a sharp breath. Before she could collect
herself, she heard Neil’s sneer. “You want a divorce so you can be with your sugar baby?
No way!” Rubbing her head in frustration, Silvia snapped. “Neil Remus! Are you out of your
mind?! I know you like Ada! I’m willing to get a divorce, so what else do you want?!” Neil’s
expression grew even colder. “What does this have to do with Ada?” Silvia smiled with
mockery and retorted, “Why wouldn’t this have anything to do with her? Don’t you like
her?” Silvia’s question silenced him. After a long pause, Neil looked at Silvia without
affection and said, “You don’t have the right to accuse me. At least I’m not cheating on
you. You’re my wife, but you’re staying with another man in his mansion!” “You’re not
cheating on me? You won’t admit it until I catch you in the act, will you?!” “Silvia Pond!”
Silvia regained her composure when she saw how furious he was. She calmly averted her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgaze and said, “Whatever happens, I’ve decided to get a divorce.” “What if I disagree?”
Annoyance flashed in Silvia’s eyes as she grew increasingly frustrated. She had no
intention of conversing further with Neil. Neil frowned when he noticed her changed
demeanor toward him. Right as he was about to speak, his phone rang. It was a call from
Ada. Neil glanced at Silvia and answered it. “Ada, what’s wrong?” “Neil, the power went
out in the mansion. I’m scared… Can you come over and stay with me?” Ada’s voice
trembled and cracked. She had been afraid of the dark since she was a child. She used to
be afraid of walking on dimly lit streets. She also had to sleep with the lights on every day.
Staying alone in a mansion without electricity must have terrified her. “Don’t be scared. I’ll
be there soon. Everything will be fine.” After he hung up, Neil found Silvia giving him a
mocking look. For the first time, he explained, “The mansion lost power, so I’m going to
check on Ada. Take a taxi and go home on your own.” Following a few seconds of silence,
he continued, “Stop thinking about getting a divorce. I’ll never agree to it.” Silvia
pretended to be indifferent and slowly said, “Neil, it doesn’t concern me whether you
agree or not. I don’t love you anymore. I’m definitely going through with it!”
