Chapter 2


    Silvia calmly cocked an eyebrow. “I made up my mind the moment I called you.” Dulcie chuckled. She


    started the engine and said, “You’ve finally ditched him. I’ve been waiting for this day! You put so much


    effort into treating his legs, but all he cares about is Ada. He kept in touch with her even when she was


    abroad. He’s a sc*mbag! Forget about men! You should focus on your career!” Silviaughed when she


    saw Dulcie fume with anger and subconsciously elerate the car. “Calm down. I don’t want to die


    right after I ditch him.” Dulcie was relieved to see Silvia in a joking mood. “What’s your n?” she


    asked tentatively. If Silvia had not called her, she would have probably contacted Silvia anyway. “I’m


    nning to take a break first. How’s thepany?” Over the past three years, Silvia’s life had revolved


    around Neil. She entrusted the management of MY Corporation, a fashionpany she had founded,


    to the shareholders. Apart from receiving dividends, she showed little interest in thepany’s affairs.


    Although she never bothered to check her ount bnce, she should have enough money for a


    comfortable life. This was assuming that the shareholders were running thepany based on the


    business n she had outlined. Dulcie’s expression changed when Silvia mentioned thepany. She


    sighed and said, “Let’s talk about it after your break.” Silvia cocked an eyebrow. Judging by Dulcie’s


    reaction, thepany was not doing well. However, she was not in the mood to get back to work.


    Therefore, she nodded and said, “Alright. In that case, take me straight to the airport.” “Where are you


    going?” “I don’t know yet. Maybe I’ll just pick a random ce.” Silvia rested her hand on the car door


    and tapped on it asionally. While she appeared calm, she could not hide her exhaustion. Dulcie


    sighed. No matter how great one was, romantic rtionships would make one irrational. After they


    arrived at the airport, Silvia got out of the car. She looked at Dulcie and said, “Please send my suitcase


    to the mansion in North City’s Elm Bay.” “Sure. How long do you n on being away?” “I guess about a


    month.” “Got it. I’ll wait for you to get back.” Silvia waved lightly and walked into the airport. … A month


    later, Neil was in a conference room at Remus Corporation’s Ceattle branch. He was having a meeting


    with the department managers. They were discussing the branch’s development for the next quarter


    when his phone suddenly rang. Neil frowned the moment he saw the caller ID. It was his mother,


    Mnie Hopkins. He stood up and said, “Let’s take a five-minute break.” He walked out of the


    conference room and answered the phone. Mnie’s displeased voice came through. “Neil, I’ve gone


    to the mansion several times to see Silvia, but she’s never home. Did you two have a fight? Is she


    avoiding me?!” Mnie’s tone was full of dissatisfaction and anger. She never liked Silvia, and this


    situation only worsened her impression of her son’s wife. Neil frowned. He had been busy since he


    arrived in Ceattle a few days ago. He had waited for Silvia to call and apologize for the first few days he


    was there, but his busy schedule had pushed the matter out of his mind. He only realized that Silvia


    had not contacted him for a whole month when Mnie called. This had never happened before. “I’ll


    call herter. Do you need something from her?” Mnie spoke with displeasure, “Your grandmother’s


    birthday ising up. I was nning to have her apany me to pick a gift for your grandmother.


    But she’s never home whenever I visit. Things would’ve been better if you had married Ada. I don’t—”


    Neil cut her off indifferently. “I understand. I’ll give her a call and get back to you.” After he hung up, Neil


    called Silvia. He tried several times, but his calls would always go straight to voicemail. Neil’s


    expression darkened. He realized that Silvia had blocked his number! Suppressing his anger, Neil


    turned to Curtis Harrell and ordered, “Call Silvia!” “Okay.” Curtis’ call went through, but no one


    answered. Seeing Neil’s expression grow darker, Curtis hesitated and said, “Mr. Remus… she didn’t


    answer…” Neil’s demeanor turned cold. “I get it. I need to resume my meeting, so help me contact the


    mansion’s management.” An hourter, Neil walked out of the conference room. Curtis approached him


    cautiously. “Mr. Remus, the property management staff said that Miss Silvia left with her suitcase the


    day after you left on your business trip.” Since Neil and Silvia’s marriage was a secret, Curtis always


    addressed her as Miss Silvia. Neil found nothing wrong with it in the past, but he frowned when he


    heard it this time. He ignored his difort and sternly said, “Find out where she is right now and book


    the next flight back to the country.” “Understood. Is Miss Ada going back with us?”Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
