Chapter 15
Justus immediately shook his head. “No… I was just joking. Miss Pond, you’re a merciful person.
Please don’t hold this against me…” He even started to p himself in the face as he spoke. Silvia
stared at him emotionlessly. When Justus’s face eventually turned red from the ps, she moved her
leg away and left without a care. Justus’s eyes had initially been filled with fear. But now, his gaze was
ruthless as he stared at Silvia’s back. He would make her pay for today! He would not spare her!
Seeing that Silvia had left, Neil turned around and went upstairs. He appeared indifferent, but he was
secretly suspicious of Silvia. Perhaps he should ask Curtis to dig deeper into her background. He knew
that Silvia was the daughter that the Pond Family had lost for sixteen years. She was also Ada’s twin
sister. During their three-year marriage, she had done her best to take care of him. She was no
different from an ordinary woman in that respect. But she really surprised him today! David was equally
shocked. He looked at Neil and said, “Neil, Silvia just hit him. Justus is a vindictive person, so he’ll
definitely cause her trouble. Aren’t you nning to get involved?” Neil did not seem to care. “She won’t
ask me for help. Why should I poke my nose in her business?” “She’s your wife.” His expression
seemed to grow colder when he heard this. “Perhaps she won’t be after some time,” he said. David had
a look of surprise. “Are you nning to divorce her and get together with Ada again?” Neil did not
answer, so David took his silence as an admission. “You’ve liked Ada from the start, so a divorce will be
good for you and Silvia.” “Silvia’s the one who asked for the divorce.” David was truly taken aback this
time. After all, throughout their three years of marriage, all of them had seen how much Silvia liked Neil.
She was incredibly fond of him. Why would she ask for a divorce? “Are you sure? Since she’s asking
for a divorce, why are you still hesitating? Is it because she’s asking for too much alimony?” David’s
words annoyed Neil even further. “What does it matter to you? Have you settled your affair with that
celebrity?” He red at David. David fell silent. The two of them then walked into a private room. Henry
and Ryan were waiting there. When Henry saw Neil’s gloomy face, he asked, “Neil, why are you
upset?” Neil did not reply. “Someone’s unhappy because his wife wants a divorce. Don’t ask about it,”
David teased from the back. Henry was taken aback for a while before he said, “Let’s enjoy the meal.
Forget about the things that make us unhappy.” They did not feel optimistic about Neil and Silvia’s
marriage, especially now that Ada was back. A crisis was approaching their marriage. Ryan looked
down in silence. Nob*dy noticed that he subconsciously tightened his grip on his ss. After dinner,
Henry and David suggested that they go for a drink at Imperial Pce, a luxurious bar. “You guys go
ahead. I still have things to do tonight.” Once Neil left, Ryan said that he had to go home as well. Henry
looked at David. “They all have things to do. Shall we just go to any bar for a drink?” David smiled and
shook his head. “I have a date with my girlfriend. You’re on your own here.” Henry was speechless.
After a few seconds, he looked at David and said, “You’re never without a girlfriend. She’s not a
celebrity this time, is she?” “Nope. I’ll bring her over and introduce you next time.” “Wow. Are you
serious this time?” “I’m always serious when ites to rtionships.” Henry rolled his eyes at David.
“Fine. Go ahead. I’ll head home too. How boring!” … It was already 9:00 p.m. when Neil returned to the
mansion. The moment he walked in, he saw Silvia leaving with a bag. She had changed into some
sportswear and tied her hair in a ponytail. She looked capable and pretty. “It’s sote. Where are you
going?” Silvia did not expect to see him back home at this time. She was startled for a moment, but she
spoke indifferently, “I have something to do. I won’t be around for a few days.” Neil instantly grabbed
her arm as he stared at her fiercely. “Silvia Pond, don’t forget that you’re still married! It’ste. You’re
not allowed to go out no matter what!” Silvia swung his hand away impatiently. “What does that have to
do with you? Didn’t you used to always go away for a long time? I agreed toe back to the mansion,
but that doesn’t mean you can interfere with my personal life!” She lowered her head and nced at
her watch. It was almost time to meet up with Condor. “If you don’t tell me why you’re going out, I won’t
let you step out of this mansion today!” Silvia raised her head and stared at him as she sternly said,
“Get lost.” Neil did not speak. He just looked into her eyes with his deep and cold gaze. He had
witnessed Silvia’s martial arts skills today. Although she was talented, his skills were not inferior to
hers. If she fought him, he could question her about when she learned martial arts. Silvia looked at him
expressionlessly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a light sound of “ting”. He frowned in
confusion. All of a sudden, Silvia started counting down. “Three! “Two! “One!” The moment Silvia
uttered thest number, Neil became unconscious. She dragged him to the couch and left without
turning back. When Neil woke up, it was already the next morning. Neil massaged his forehead and
suddenly recalled what had happened. He opened his sharp eyes and nced around. He
subconsciously scowled when he failed to find Silvia. He called Curtis immediately. “Find out where
Silvia is right now!” Meanwhile, a team of people was moving deeper into the rainforest. Everyone
walked with haste. There were about a dozen of them. They were also dressed in camouge
uniforms. Everyone had injuries of varying degrees, but no one was out ofmission. This meant that
it was a well-trained team. The leader brought everyone to a riverside before he told those at the back,
“We’ll be safe after we cross the river.” After he spoke, they suddenly heard a gunshot from afar. Right
then, a bullet shot right through the leader’s forehead. Bang! As their leader dropped to the ground,
they kept hearing gunshots around them. In the blink of an eye, only about five out of the dozen people
were left. “Jump into the river now!” With the sounds of “ssh”, the river became cloudy after that.
Silvia stood still as she stared at the river’s surface. She was so focused that she looked like a statue.
At this time, she heard Condor’s low and deep voice in her earphones. “Iris, our main mission is to kill
Scorpion. The rest are justckeys. They ‘re not important. Get ready to pull back.” Silvia frowned. She
had always been a stickler for getting rid of everyone. However, Condor was themander in this
mission. Since he ordered her to pull back, she could only agree. She put away her gun. As she turned
to leave, she suddenly heard Condor’s anxious voice from her earphones. “Watch out!” Silvia sensed
danger too and promptly moved to the side. A bullet flew past her cheek and instantly left a scar. She
turned around and fired a shot in the direction where the bullet hade from. She was so fast that
her enemy fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. He died before he could fire the second shot.
Condor whistled andplimented her through her earphones. “You’re definitely Iris! You’re as speedy
as always!” Silvia sounded indifferent. “I still have things to do. Just transfer themission to my
ount.” After she spoke, she cut offmunication. … Neil had instructed his staff to track Silvia for
three days, but they had failed to pinpoint her location. For three days, his mood kept getting worse and
worse. Everyone in thepany was too afraid to approach him. “Mr. Remus, this is what I’ve found on
Miss Pond…” Neil took the document and fl*pped it open. The information was no different from what
he could find. He threw the document on the desk in dissatisfaction. “Is this all you have after three
days?”Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
