Chapter 9


    Everyone in the room turned around and saw Neil ring at Silvia. His eyes were filled with rage. Silvia


    was shocked. She did not expect to see Neil here. After a moment, she averted her gaze and took a


    sip from her wine ss while ignoring him. Anger filled Neil’s face when he saw her reaction. He


    walked up to her and grabbed her arm in an attempt to drag her out of the room. Dulcie had a look of


    displeasure in her eyes. She quickly blocked his path and sternly asked, “Mr. Remus, what are you


    doing?!” Neil nced at her coldly and barked, “Get out of my way!” Dulcie sneered, “Sil’s my friend.


    Shouldn’t you give me a good reason for taking her with you?” Neil’s face was stoic, but he was about


    to lose his patience. “I’ll say this onest time. Get out of my way!” Silvia knew that Dulcie would not


    gain the upper hand in this standoff. She pursed her l*ps and said, “Dul, I’m fine. I’lle back in a


    while.” Dulcie stared at her with concern. “Sil…” “Don’t worry. He won’t hurt me.” Neil immediately


    dragged her out of the room after she finished talking. Silvia almost tripped. Dulcie was enraged when


    she saw this. Silvia must have been wearing rose-colored sses in the past. Otherwise, how would


    she fall for a jerk like Neil? Neil only released Silvia’s hand when they reached the end of the corridor.


    “Silvia, don’t you realize that you’re a married woman? Yesterday, you were fooling around with Chris.


    Today, you’re here flirting with male models in a bar! How many times are you trying to cheat on me?!”


    he questioned. Silvia rubbed her wrist, which had turned red from his grip. “It’ll happen again if you


    keep stalling on signing the divorce papers,” she said indifferently. Neil sneered, “You’ll regret it if you


    continue fooling around with other men!” Silvia smiled after she heard what he said. She gave him an


    unbothered look. “I’m curious about how you’re nning to make me regret it. Are you going to


    threaten me with what you can do to the Pond family? Don’t forget that Ada, your beloved girl, is also a


    member of the Pond family. She would definitely be upset if you did something bad to her family. Do


    you want her to be sad?” Neil appeared conflicted. It was not because Silvia had brought Ada up.


    Instead, he realized that he had no chance of making Silvia stay once she really made up her mind to


    leave. Suddenly, Neil felt a sense of dread. Before long, anger overpowered the anxiety he felt. “I’ve


    exined it to you before. I never cheated on you with Ada!” A hint of annoyance shed across


    Silvia’s eyes. “Neil, you don’t have to exin whatever happened between you and Ada. I don’t care at


    all. I just want to know when you’re nning to sign the divorce papers?” she said coldly. Irritation


    bubbled up within him when he saw Silvia’s indifference. Every time he saw her, she would only talk


    about the divorce. He had already lowered his pride to exin himself, but she did not care in the


    slightest! The more Neil thought about it, the angrier he got. He grabbed Silvia’s chin and k*ssed her


    because he wanted to shut her up. Silvia never thought Neil would do that. She froze when she felt the


    warmth on her l*ps. She immediately pushed him away and pped him. It was a loud hit. The


    atmosphere instantly became more hostile. Neil red at Silvia as she wiped her l*ps in disgust. Her


    actions infuriated him. “Silvia, don’t you dare wipe your l*ps again!” Silvia was expressionless. She


    nced at him and said, “If you were k*ssed by a woman you dislike, you would probably be in the


    shower now.” “How dare you!” Neil was livid. He stared at Silvia with hostility in his eyes. Silvia had


    always been a soft-spoken person. She never sounded so mean before. Was she desperate? Had she


    always been like this and had just been very good at hiding this side of her? Silvia looked at the time.


    She did not have enough patience to waste it on Neil, so she said, “I have work tomorrow. If you have


    nothing else to say, I’ll make a move first.” She did not bother to look at Neil’s face when she turned


    around and left. “Wait a minute!” Neil blocked her way. “When did you find a job? “It’s none of your


    business.” Neil tried to suppress his anger when he said, “Don’t forget that we’re still married!” Silvia


    remained indifferent. “Very soon, we won’t be.” “Silvia, my patience has its limits!” She found Neil’s


    expression a little funny when he tried to hold back. “You can choose to divorce me. After that, you


    won’t have to put up with me anymore.” “I’ve told you that I won’t agree to the divorce!” “Then suffer.”


    Neil was rendered speechless. While they were stuck in a stand-off, they heard a gentle voice. “Neil,


    Miss Pond, why don’t you enter the private room?” Silvia’s expression softened when she saw that it


    was Ryan. He was one of Neil’s best friends. When Neil’s leg was injured, Ryan often visited him. He


    was easy to talk to due to his gentle personality, so Silvia had a good impression of him. She smiled.


    “You guys have fun. I won’t be joining you.” Neil did not stop Silvia from leaving in front of Ryan. He


    only nced at Ryan coldly after she left. “Why did youe out?” “I was going to the bathroom when


    I saw your argument with Miss Pond. I was worried that you two would fight.” After a slight pause, Ryan


    continued, “Neil, Miss Pond is actually a nice person. She’s the one who stayed by your side and tookContent ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    care of you when your leg was injured. You should treat her better even if you don’t like her.” Neil


    looked at him with disdain as he said, “I know what to do. I won’t join the rest of you because I have


    something else to tend to tonight. Tell Henry and David for me. The bill’s on me.” After Neil left, Ryan


    stood still for a while. He only returned to the private room after he smoked a cigarette. Following Neil’s


    interruption, Silvia and Dulcie were no longer in the mood to stay. They left the bar after they paid the


    bill. After she got a buddy driver for Dulcie, Silvia waited for a taxi by the road. While she waited, she


    contemted whether she should drive herself to work tomorrow. Suddenly, a ck Maybach stopped


    next to her. Lost in thought, Silvia opened the door and entered the car without noticing that it was not


    her taxi. It was not until she smelt a familiar woody scent that she suddenly whipped her head around.


    She furrowed her brows when she saw the man sitting next to her. She wanted to get out of the car.


    The dim lighting prevented her from noticing someone sitting in the backseat earlier. Neil grabbed her


    wrist and said, “Go to Remus Mansion!” The driver started driving as Silvia stared daggers at Neil. “Can


    you let go of my hand?” She was annoyed and upset with herself. If she had not been deep in thought


    earlier, she would not have made such a silly mistake. “Sayer, lock the car doors.” Neil let go of Silvia’s


    hand only after the doors were locked. Silvia red at him. She tried to sound calm when she said,


    “Neil, I really have to go to work tomorrow. I have no time to y your little games.” Neil frowned. “I just


    had some alcohol. You shoulde back and take care of me tonight,” he demanded. A hint of


    annoyance shed across Silvia’s eyes. “You can give Ada a call. I’m sure she’d love to take care of


    you personally.” Silvia emphasized the words “take care” so that Neil would understand what she


    meant. Neil scoffed. “You’re being so generous now. You’re my wife, so you’re the one who should take


    care of me.”
