Chapter 6


    Silvia got out of the car and headed back. The ck Maybach stopped for a while before it drove in the


    opposite direction. Neil watched as Silvia’s figure grew smaller in the rearview mirror. He felt


    increasingly irritated. Silvia had always been timid, so he did not understand why she would be so


    stubborn this time. He had humbled himself bying to her, yet she still insisted on a divorce.


    However, he needed to check on Ada anyway. He would find an opportunity to talk to Silviater. After


    she walked for a while, Silvia received a call from Chris. “Silvia, where are you?” The concern in his


    voice warmed Silvia’s heart. “I’m halfway up the mountain. I’m on my way back.” “Where’s he?” Silvia


    spoke calmly without any emotion in her eyes. “He left.” “He left you alone on the mountain in the


    middle of the night?! I’ll be there in five minutes to pick you up. Wait for me!” Chris did not want to give


    Silvia a chance to refuse, so he hung up immediately. Silvia put her phone away and waited patiently


    for Chris. When Chris arrived, Silvia was standing by the road and kicking pebbles absentmindedly.


    The moment she heard the sound of an engine, she raised her head and saw Chris’ car stopping in


    front of her. Chris got out and visibly rxed when he saw Silvia unharmed. He quickly walked over


    and opened the car door for her. “Get in, Silvia.” Seeing how caring he was, Silviaughed and teased,


    “No wonder so many girls want to be your girlfriend. You’re quite the gentleman.” Chris smiled. “What


    about you? Do you think I’d make a good boyfriend?” Understanding his yful tone, Silvia yed


    along and nodded with a smile of approval. “Absolutely! You’d be the perfect boyfriend.” A hint of


    disappointment flickered in Chris’ eyes, but he still smiled and said, “Unfortunately, the person I like


    doesn’t like me.” Silvia patted him on the shoulder andforted him, “What a coincidence. The


    person I like doesn’t like me either.” Chrisughed and shook his head. “You’re terrible at cheering


    people up. You’ve made me even sadder.” “Fine. Let’s head back. I need to work tomorrow.” Chris


    cocked an eyebrow. “As my manager?” “Nah, I don’t n on doing that. Besides, you already have a


    manager. How could I be your manager?” Chris smiled and said nothing. When they arrived at the


    mansion, the coffee had gotten cold, and Silvia was in no mood for coffee anymore. After she said


    goodnight to Chris, she went back to her room. The next morning, Silvia woke up and was about to go


    downstairs after she washed up. When she saw Dulcie waiting for her in the living room, she quicklyContent is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    descended the stairs. “Dulcie, could I take one more day off?” Dulcie sneered like a terrifying demon


    and threw a stack of documents in Silvia’s arms. “You’ve taken a break for three years. Isn’t that


    enough? Read these documents on your way to thepany. We have a tough battle ahead of us


    today.” Silvia was stunned when she looked at the documents. “Why is there such a heavy workload on


    the first day?” “Don’t even get me started. Those old geezers almost turned MY Corporation upside


    down during the three years you were away. They’ve been hiring their rtives who are a bunch of


    freeloaders. They just collect their paychecks without lifting a finger! If you don’te back soon, the


    company’s bound to go bankrupt!” Silvia was taken aback by this news. On the way to thepany,


    Dulcie could not hold back her urge to gossip. “Oh, by the way, I saw Chris Rios at your ce this


    morning. You’ve just divorced Neil, and you’re already the sugar mommy of an award-winning actor?”


    Silvia shifted her gaze from the document to Dulcie’s face. She spoke with a serious expression, “First


    of all, Chris and I are just friends. Secondly, Neil and I aren’t officially divorced, so he’s not my ex-


    husband.” Dulcie was shocked. “You’re acting as Chris’ sugar mommy without divorcing Neil?! That’s


    so exciting!” Silvia was dumbfounded. “Did you even pass English?” Dulcie raised her chin proudly. “Of


    course! I used to be the top student in my ss.” “Were you the only student in your ss?” Dulcie


    snapped. “Shut up, Silvia!” Silvia stopped talking and continued reading the documents. After a while,


    her phone rang. She was a little puzzled when she saw an unknown number. As soon as she answered


    the call, Neil’s angry voice came through. “Silvia, unblock my number!” Silvia immediately hung up and


    powered off her phone. She tossed it to Dulcie and said, “Get me a new SIM card and deactivate this


    one.” Recalling Silvia’s teasing earlier, Dulcie sarcastically said, “I’m not your secretary! Ask your own


    secretary to do it!” Silvia closed the document folder. Then, she cocked an eyebrow and said, “Fine.


    Since MY Corporation seems to be in dire straits anyway, I might as well just file for bankruptcy.” “No!


    Please, I’m sorry. I’ll help you with it, okay?” Silvia cocked her eyebrow again when she saw Dulcie’s


    change in attitude. “I was just joking. Don’t take it so seriously.” Dulcie was speechless. After she


    arrived at MY Corporation, the first thing Silvia did was hold a shareholders’ meeting. An hourter, the


    usually assertive shareholders walked out of the conference room in anger. Only Dulcie and Silvia


    remained in the room. Dulcie gave Silvia a thumbs up and expressed her admiration. “Silvia, you’re as


    sharp as ever! I was amazed watching you leave those old geezers speechless. I’ve never seen them


    back down like that before.” Silvia cast her an indifferent nce and said, “Give me a list of employees


    who joined MY Corporation through their connections with the shareholders. We’ll start theyoffs


    tomorrow.” Dulcie was shocked. “Tomorrow?! Isn’t that too soon? You just confronted those old geezers


    today. Their anger hasn’t subsided. You might trigger their dissatisfaction if you dismiss their people.” “If


    anyone has a problem with it, tell them to see me in my office.” With that, Silvia left the conference


    room. She had a rough understanding of MY Corporation’s problem. If she did not resolve it quickly, the


    company would go bankrupt before next year. Silvia immediately switched to work mode back in her


    office. She had been away for three years, but she did not have much time to reminisce about the past.


    In less than an hour, news of MY Corporation’s founder returning had spread throughout Ryoln City’s


    business circle. Since Silvia never made a public appearance, she was a mysterious figure to the


    outside world. People spected that she had returned to rescue MY Corporation from the brink of


    bankruptcy. Over in Remus Corporation’s presidential office, Neil was still trying to reach Silvia.


    However, all he got was a mechanical voice informing him that her phone was off. It was testing his


    patience to the limit. When Curtis entered the office, he felt like he had entered an ice field. He


    instinctively walked with lighter steps to avoid annoying Neil. “Mr. Remus, our ns to acquire MY


    Corporation might have to be put on hold. It appears that MY Corporation’s founder returned today.”


    Neil frowned and responded absentmindedly, “Proceed with the acquisition n and allocate an


    additional one hundred million to the original budget.” “MY Corporation’s founder initially rose to


    prominence by establishing thepany out of nowhere. Unexpectedly, the founder handed control


    over to the shareholderster on. The founder probably returned to save thepany. If we’re


    considering an acquisition, MY Corporation isn’t the best choice.” Neil remained uninterested and


    sternly said, “Proceed with the acquisition and increase the budget if it’s not enough. Don’t make me


    repeat myself! Also, have someone watch the entrance of Chris’s mansion. Notify me once Silvia


    appears.” “Understood, Mr. Remus.” Curtis was puzzled by Neil’s irritability. Neil obviously liked Ada.


    Why did he refuse to divorce Silvia and marry Ada? Regardless, this was personal to Neil, so Curtis


    could not intervene. He could only carry out Neil’s order. “By the way, Mr. Remus, the Angel’s Tears you


    bid on in Ceattle has arrived. Should I bring it over so that you can give it to Miss Silvia in person?”


    Angel’s Tears was a ne featuring a blue teardrop-shaped gemstone that was surrounded by


    thousands of diamonds. It shimmered in the light and captivated anyone who saw it. The moment Neil


    saw it, he thought it was perfect for Silvia. He instantly decided to bid on it as a third-anniversary gift for


    her. However, due to their argument, he had pushed this matter to the back of his mind. Neil pursed his


    l*ps and said, “Yes, bring it to me. I’ll give it to her personally.” Curtis left Neil’s office after he delivered


    the Angel’s Tears. Neil picked up a document, but he could not concentrate. The determined


    expression Silvia had when she leftst night filled his mind. He closed the folder in frustration. He was


    overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness. Just as he was preparing to stand and take a breather, his


    phone rang.
