Chapter 1


    When Silvia Pond received a message from Ada Pond, she was picking out a gift for Neil Remus. It


    was for their third wedding anniversary. Silvia opened the message, but several intimate photos of two


    people caught her off guard. Her face instantly turned pale when she realized who they were. They


    were Neil and Ada, her twin sister! The photos were of them hugging and k*ssing each other. But she


    spotted one thing in all of them—Neil’s loving gaze as he looked at Ada. Even though Neil and Silvia


    had been married for three years, he had never looked at her with such a gaze. [Does it look familiar?]


    Silvia rubbed her temples. The ce in the photos did look familiar, but before she could recall where it


    was, another message from Ada popped up. [You were supposed to live in that house after the


    wedding. Don’t you recognize it? [Oh, I almost forgot. Neil refused to let you in the house except for


    your wedding night. Do you know why? [Because Neil bought the house for me! If his grandmother


    hadn’t taken matters into her own hands on your wedding day, you would’ve never had a chance to set


    foot inside!] Ada’s messages made Silvia’s heart beat faster. Her hands trembled as she read them.


    She clenched her phone and slowly typed a reply. [Stop sending me these photos. Your rtionship


    with Neil is a thing of the past.] [Haha. Do you think we’re really over? [I’ve been back in the country for


    two months. Neil hasn’t been home in the past two months, has he? [He hasn’t had time to go home


    because he’s been staying with me at the house every day after work. Do you know what he tells me


    after we have S**? He says you’re boring. You’re no different from a S** doll. [You’re a failure of a


    woman. If I were you, I would’ve killed myself long ago! [You’d better give up on Neil while he’s still on


    good terms with you for old time’s sake. Otherwise, you’ll only end up embarrassing yourself!] … Silvia


    could not remember how she made it home. She only snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the


    fingerprint lock unlocking. Neil opened the door and saw Silvia sitting near the entrance. He


    subconsciously frowned in displeasure. “Why are you sitting here?” Silvia looked at him. His handsome


    face still made her heart flutter. She tried to find a glimmer of affection in his eyes, but all she saw was


    annoyance. Neil had looked at her that way for the past three years. She had grown ustomed to it,


    but her heart ached when she knew that he could look at another woman tenderly. She slowly got up


    and looked Neil in the eye. “Why did you hide Ada’s return from me?” A hint of surprise shed in Neil’s


    eyes, but he answered indifferently, “You and Ada aren’t on good terms, so I had no reason to tell you.”


    Silvia forced a smile. Was it because he had no reason, or was he afraid that she would learn about his


    infidelity? She closed her eyes and slowly said, “Neil Remus, if you think of me as your wife, you


    wouldn’t have slept with Ada in that house. It was supposed to be ours!” Neil’s calm facade cracked a


    little. “How did you know?” “You’re wondering how I found out? Ask Ada! I wonder why a mistress


    would have the audacity to send me those photos to disgust me!” “Silvia Pond!” Neil was infuriated. He


    looked at Silvia coldly. The Ada he knew was innocent. She would not hurt anyone, let alone provoke


    Silvia. “There’s nothing between Ada and me. She’s only staying at that house temporarily. Besides,


    she’d never send you any photos!” Neil’s trust in Ada hurt Silvia. Her eyes immediately turned red.


    “Temporarily? Do you think I’m stupid? Since you believe she’d never send those photos, are you


    implying that I’m ndering her?” “I might trust you if it were another person, but you’ve always disliked


    Ada. You’ve done something simr in the past.” Silvia pursed her l*ps and felt absurd. Neil had


    instinctively sided with Ada without asking her for any details. No wonder Ada dared to send Silvia


    those photos. She probably knew that Neil would stand by her. Silvia closed her eyes wearily and said


    in an indifferent tone, “Whatever. Believe what you want.” Neil got angry. “Ada owes you nothing. Stop


    speaking ill of her!” he said in an icy tone. Silvia had done nothing to Ada, yet Neil was already


    protective of her. If Silvia were to harm Ada, he would probably make her pay the price. Silvia wore a


    self-deprecating smile. “Neil, have you ever liked me in the three years of our marriage? Even a tiny


    bit?” Neil’s cold gazended on Silvia. “Since I married you, I’ll take care of you for life.” His refusal to


    answer spoke volumes. He never liked her. Silvia chuckled. She turned around as she did not want him


    to see her tears. Then, she said with a broken heart, “Let’s get a divorce.” Despite working hard for


    three years, she had only been deceiving herself by believing that she could win his heart. It was time


    to face reality. Neil’s displeasure and impatience grew. “Silvia, stop being unreasonable!” Silvia could


    not believe that he found her unreasonable. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and looked


    at Neil seriously. “I’m not being unreasonable. I’ll get awyer to draft the papers. I won’t im a single


    cent!” she said. Silvia did not offer Neil any of her personal assets when she married him. Since they


    were going to be divorced, she did not want him to think that she was after his money. Neil’s


    expression darkened when he realized how serious Silvia was. He was exuding a cold aura. “Silvia, I


    don’t have time to argue with you. I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear what you said. Let’s talk when you calm


    down.” Neil then left without hesitation. It was his usual tactic whenever they quarreled. He would give


    Silvia the silent treatment until she gave in to him. Silvia only realized how pitiful she had been in the


    past after she decided to get a divorce. Neil never even bothered trying tofort her when they


    argued. However, all this would end soon. The next morning, Silvia met up with awyer to draft a


    divorce agreement. While he printed the agreement, thewyer tried to dissuade her against her


    decision. “Mrs. Remus, Remus Corporation is now worth hundreds of billions. You’ve been married to


    Mr. Remus for three years and have burdened yourself by keeping it a secret. It’ll be reasonable even if


    you demand several hundred million dors.” Silvia forced a smile. “It’s fine. I only want to divorce him


    as soon as possible.” Thewyer gave up after he saw her determination. He gave her the divorce


    agreement and left. Silvia fl*pped to thest page and signed without hesitation. She took off her ring


    and ced it on the agreement. Then, she got up and went upstairs to pack her things. She finished


    packing in less than an hour since she did not have many things. She did not want anything Neil had


    given her, so one suitcase was enough. Before she left, Silvia took onest look at the mansion where


    she had lived for three years. She felt no sense of attachment toward it. No matter how hard she tried,


    she failed to get the one thing she wanted. He never belonged to her. It took her three years to


    understand this, but it was not toote. Silvia walked out of the mansion and saw a red Lamborghini


    parked in front of the door. The driver noticed her and honked. Silvia put her suitcase in the trunk and


    got into the passenger seat. The driver was a woman with a curvy figure and fair skin. She was also


    wearing a pair of oversized sunsses that covered most of her face. It made her features more


    delicate. Once Silvia was in the car, Dulcie Reed cocked an eyebrow and asked, “Have you made up


    your mind?”Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.
