“Okay. If someone from Remus Corporation comes over to discuss acquisitions again, just turn them away.”
“Understood.”
On the way back to Remus Corporation, Curtis commented, “Mr. Remus, the price we offered far exceeded the value of MY Corporation. I think acquiring it might not be feasible.”
Neil did not seem pleased. After a brief silence, he said, “Compile a list of the clothing companies under Remus Corporation and send it to me.”
He had planned on acquiring MY Corporation for Ada’s business management training. However, with MY Corporation rejecting his offer, he had to find alternatives.
“Understood, Mr. Remus.‘
Before long, it was Saturday, the day Silvia had agreed to return to the Pond Family’s mansion for dinner.
After she woke up, Silvia changed her clothes and headed downstairs. She spotted Neil sitting on the couch while reading some documents.
When Neil heard her footsteps, he set his work aside and gazed at her.
Silvia was wearing a long dress, and she had no makeup on her fair, delicate face. With her long hair tied into a bun, she resembled a youthful college student. Next to Neil in his suit and tie, she appeared over a decade younger than him.
Neil frowned. He removed her hair tie and let her long hair fall freely.
Silvia looked at him with annoyance. “What are you doing?! Give it back to me!”
Neil threw the hair tie into the trash can and calmly said, “The bun doesn’t suit you. You look better with your hair down.”
Silvia was dumbfounded.
Her hairstyle was none of his business!
“Let’s go. We’ll be late if we waste any more time.”
Neil walked to the door, but he frowned when he noticed that she had not followed. “Why are you standing there in a daze?”
“Did my father invite you to the Pond Family’s mansion for dinner?”
“Yes, what’s the issue?”
Silvia remained silent for a moment before she calmly said, “Nothing. Let’s go.”
Idris had invited Neil behind her back because he knew that she would not agree to it. He did so despite knowing how she felt. He clearly did not care about her opinion.
An hour later, Neil’s car stopped at the mansion’s entrance.
Ada knew that Neil would come today, so she had been waiting by the entrance. She ignored Silvia when she spotted her.
“Neil, we’ve been waiting for you for a while. I’ll show you in.”
Neil remained nonchalant. He turned to Silvia and said, “Let’s go.”
Silvia found his actions puzzling. He was clearly in love with Ada, so why was he acting as if he had nothing to do with her?
However, she quickly recalled the photos of them together, and contempt filled her eyes.
Silvia and Neil entered the mansion. Once they approached the living room, Jeremy greeted them.
“Mr. Remus, Silvia, you’re here. Please have a seat!” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Silvia looked away indifferently after she saw Jeremy’s bright smile.
Calling her back for dinner was just an excuse to meet with Neil.
She was not interested in staying there to please Jeremy, so she turned to Nell and said, “I’m going for a stroll in the garden.”
When she sat down in the garden pavilion, Ada suddenly showed up.
“Don’t think you’ve won, Silvia. All you have now is the title of ‘Neil’s wife.‘ In reality, Nell still loves me!”
“Is that so?”
Silvia cocked an eyebrow in mockery. “But he didn’t even spare you a glance at the entrance.”
Ada’s face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and retorted, “That’s because we had an argument recently. We’ll reconcile soon.
“Do you remember when the footage of you hiring a male escort was exposed during Grandpa’s birthday party? Neil discovered that I was responsible, but he didn’t blame me for anything. He even helped me to cover it up! So, it won’t make a difference that you’re his wife because he’ll always be on my side!”
