Neil paused. He remained silent for a few seconds before he said, “Yeah. Give her a call and tell herour plan.” Shortly after Neil arrived in Ceattle for work, Ada came as well. Although she claimed that itwas a sightseeing trip, the employees in the branch office knew that she was there for Neil.“Understood.” Curtis immediately booked the flight tickets. They picked Ada up and headed straight tothe airport. After several hours of flying, the plane landed smoothly at the airport in Ryoln City. While onthe plane, Curtis noticed how caring Neil was toward Ada. Upon disembarking, they walked togethertoward the airport’s exit. In crowded places, Neil would instinctively protect Ada. Silvia had joined Neilon business trips before. However, he would be cold toward her even though she took care of him.Compared to Silvia, Ada seemed more like Neil’s wife. … At the same time, Silvia walked out fromanother exit at the airport. She was wearing a V-neck spaghetti-strap dress and sunglasses. Sheappeared to be in a good mood because there was a smile on her face. Dulcie had been waiting at theairport entrance. She waved as soon as she spotted Silvia. Silvia’s smile became brighter when shesaw Dulcie. She quickened her pace with her suitcase. Just as Silvia was about to reach Dulcie, shenoticed a hint of displeasure on her friend’s face. Dulcie was looking past her. Silvia was confused. Sheturned around and saw Neil, as well as Ada, walking side by side toward the exit. Although sheremained expressionless, she subconsciously tightened her grip on her suitcase’s handle. She turnedback and spoke before Dulcie could say anything. “Let’s go.” Dulcie saw Silvia’s calm expression andemotionless gaze. However, she could not tell whether Silvia had truly moved on from Neil or wasmerely putting up a front. Regardless, this was not the time to think about it, so Dulcie quickly took thesuitcase from her. “It looks like you’ve done some shopping. Your suitcase is heavy.” “They’re all giftsfor you guys.” The two chatted as they made their way outside. They did not realize that someone wasstaring at them, or more precisely, at Silvia. Ada gently tugged on Neil’s sleeve when she saw himlooking in another direction. “Neil, what’s wrong?” Neil averted his gaze and shook his head. “It’snothing.” Had his eyes deceived him? The woman earlier reminded him of Silvia, but Silvia had neverworn a spaghetti-strap dress before. She would always dress in a ladylike manner. Neil frowned andlooked at Curtis in displeasure. “You haven’t found out where Silvia is?” Curtis dared not meet Neil’snovelbin
gaze. He lowered his head and answered, “Yeah… But I’ll definitely get Miss Silvia’s exact locationtoday!” Neil’s gaze turned cold. “Help me send Ada back. I need to go to the mansion,” he said. It wasalready 7 p.m. when Neil arrived at the mansion. The place was dark, which meant that Silvia was nothome. As Neil opened the door, dust floated into the air. This made him frown. Whenever he returnedhome in the past, the first thing he saw would be Silvia’s smiling face. But this time, darkness greetedhim. Once he turned on the living room lights, Neil noticed that a layer of dust had accumulated aroundthe place. It looked like the property management staff did not lie to him. Silvia had not returned. Therehad been times in the past when Silvia would be angry with him, but she had never stayed away for awhole month. Neil felt uneasy. His unease escalated when he spotted a divorce agreement and a ringon the table. The divorce agreement had collected dust since no one had cleaned the house for amonth. Neil picked up the agreement and fl*pped to the last page. As expected, Silvia had alreadysigned it. A sudden wave of anger hit him. He had never been so furious before. His face turned redwith rage as he clutched the agreement. How dare she! While Neil was overwhelmed with anger, hisphone suddenly rang. “Mr. Remus, I’ve discovered where Miss Silvia is. She is… um… in North City…”Noticing Curtis’ hesitation, Neil spoke coldly, “Cut to the chase! Where exactly in North City is she?!”“She’s in another mansion. It belongs to Chris Rios, the new award-winning actor.”
