Chapter 74
Silvia looked at Neil with ridicule. “I’m just going to teach her a little lesson.”
As she turned to walk away, he grabbed her hand and warned, “Ada isn’t in the best health. If you do
anything to harm her, your parents won’t let you off the hook.”
“I haven’t done anything to her, but you’re already so concerned.”
Neil frowned. “Silvia, don’t misinterpret my intentions!”
He was afraid of what Idris and Mindy might do to her. But to her, it looked like he was worried about
Ada.
Silvia chuckled. “I’m sure you know it’s a misinterpretation or not.”
She shook his hand off and left.
Neil’s anger began to build as he stared at her.
On her way back, she crossed paths with Chris.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her.
“Silvia, Mr. Remus didn’t do anything to you, did he?”
He had witnessed Neil dragging her away earlier. He decided to stay put since Silvia had told him not
to get involved in her personal matters this morning.
However, as time passed, his concern outweighed his hesitation. As such, he got up and went after
them.
Seeing the genuine concern in his eyes, Silvia felt a hint of warmth. However, she appeared distant to
keep him and his career
safe.
“Thank you for your concern, but this is between Neil and me. It would be better if you stop prying.”
Chris froze, and it took him a while to say, “Silvia, I actually came to tell you one more thing.”
“What is it?”
“Neil’s secretary approached me some time ago and expressed interest in buying your mansion. He
must have mistaken it as mine.”
Silvia furrowed her brows. She remembered that she had deliberately transferred the mansion’s
ownership to someone else to avoid detection.
She wondered why Neil’s investigation showed that it belonged to Chris.
They did not know that when Curtis hired someone to look into the mansion, there was a mix-up with
the house number. Therefore, Curtis thought that it was under Chris’s name.
“I understand. Thank you for informing me.”
After she returned to her room, Silvia took a shower and drifted off.
She decided to leave the following morning. Everything she had encountered in this resort had been so
frustrating that she might as well sleep at home.

In the middle of the night, she heard someone swiping a key card on the sensor and instantly woke up.
Shey in bed without moving. Once she adjusted to the darkness, she spotted a figure slowly
approaching the bed.
The moment it reached the bedside, she sprang up and lunged at the ck figure.
The intruder did not expect Silvia to be awake but instinctively shifted aside as she rushed over,
She narrowed her eyes slightly when she noticed that the intruder knew some martial arts.
When Silvia saw the person standing diagonally from her, she exploded in anger. “Neil Remus! Why did
you sneak into my room like a thief in the middle of the night?!”
The hotel had actually provided the key card to her room to someone else. She would definitely be
filing aint first thing in the morning.
Neil looked at her with indifference. “Silvia, don’t you think you should exin why you’re so skilled in
self-defense?”
If he had not reacted quickly enough, she would have punched him in the face.
She looked at him with hostility. “You keep plenty of secrets from me too. Why should I exin anything
to you?”
“I’ll find out even if you don’t exin.”
Silviaughed. “Sure, go ahead.”
She said that because she did not think he could find anything.
Seeing howposed and confident she was, a ruthless glint shed in his eyes.
Silvia had no patience for a conversation with him. “You came to my room at this ungodly hour just to
ask me such nonsense?”
Neil had an unfathomable gaze as he took in the displeasure and impatience in her eyes.
“I’ve checked out of my room.”
