Chris was taken aback. He subconsciously gripped the doorknob, frozen with shock. “Chris, why areyou standing at the…” Silvia’s words trailed off as she spotted Neil standing opposite Chris. Shefrowned while she dried her hair with a towel. “Why are you here?” Neil sneered and glared at her.“Looks like I’ve come at the wrong time. Am I interrupting you two?” Silvia clenched the towel as sheput on a calm facade. “You’ve probably seen the divorce agreement. When are you free? We need thedivorce certificate,” she said. “Silvia Pond, I never agreed to the divorce! Come back with me!” NoticingNeil’s intention to grab Silvia’s hand, Chris quickly stood in front of Silvia. Neil glared at Chris, and hisvoice was cold. “Get lost if you don’t want to be shut out by all media!” Chris gave Neil a cold glanceand confronted him with a fearless attitude. “Mr. Remus, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to do so. Besides,Silvia doesn’t want to go with you.” Chris had formed numerous connections in the entertainmentindustry over the years. He would not be ruined just because Neil wanted him gone. Neil’s expressionturned malicious. He took his phone out to make a call. Silvia had been standing behind Chris. Rightthen, she said, “Neil, don’t get unrelated people involved. Let’s talk.” Neil put his phone down as hisanger escalated. He stared at her with contempt and said, “Are you worried about him? I’ve been awayfrom Ryoln City for only a month, but you’ve already found yourself a sugar baby. How ‘efficient’ ofyou!” Silvia ignored him and turned to Chris. “Chris, you can go inside. I’ll talk with him..” Chris wasworried, but he was in no position to interfere with their affairs since they were married. “Okay. Just callout if you need help.” Once Chris left, Silvia turned back to Neil. However, Neil immediately draggedher away. “What are you doing?!” Silvia was furious. Neil was inconsiderate even when they wereabout to get a divorce. She regretted her decision to marry him! Neil remained hostile and said nothing.He pushed Silvia into the car forcefully, got in from the other side, and started the engine. He drove sofast that they traveled halfway down the mountain in no time. Silvia looked at him angrily. “Let me out!Neil Remus, why are you doing this?!” “Fasten your seat belt!” Neil gripped the steering wheel. Theveins in his hands bulged. He was obviously infuriated. Silvia did not do as he asked. She looked athim indifferently and said, “Neil, I wasn’t being impulsive or unreasonable when I said I wanted adivorce. I meant it.” The Black Maybach screeched to a halt on the side of the road. The inertia madenovelbin
Silvia hit her head on the windshield. The pain made her frown and take a sharp breath. Before shecould collect herself, she heard Neil’s sneer. “You want a divorce so you can be with your sugar baby?No way!” Rubbing her head in frustration, Silvia snapped. “Neil Remus! Are you out of your mind?! Iknow you like Ada! I’m willing to get a divorce, so what else do you want?!” Neil’s expression greweven colder. “What does this have to do with Ada?” Silvia smiled with mockery and retorted, “Whywouldn’t this have anything to do with her? Don’t you like her?” Silvia’s question silenced him. After along pause, Neil looked at Silvia without affection and said, “You don’t have the right to accuse me. Atleast I’m not cheating on you. You’re my wife, but you’re staying with another man in his mansion!”“You’re not cheating on me? You won’t admit it until I catch you in the act, will you?!” “Silvia Pond!”Silvia regained her composure when she saw how furious he was. She calmly averted her gaze andsaid, “Whatever happens, I’ve decided to get a divorce.” “What if I disagree?” Annoyance flashed inSilvia’s eyes as she grew increasingly frustrated. She had no intention of conversing further with Neil.Neil frowned when he noticed her changed demeanor toward him. Right as he was about to speak, hisphone rang. It was a call from Ada. Neil glanced at Silvia and answered it. “Ada, what’s wrong?” “Neil,the power went out in the mansion. I’m scared… Can you come over and stay with me?” Ada’s voicetrembled and cracked. She had been afraid of the dark since she was a child. She used to be afraid ofwalking on dimly lit streets. She also had to sleep with the lights on every day. Staying alone in amansion without electricity must have terrified her. “Don’t be scared. I’ll be there soon. Everything willbe fine.” After he hung up, Neil found Silvia giving him a mocking look. For the first time, he explained,“The mansion lost power, so I’m going to check on Ada. Take a taxi and go home on your own.”Following a few seconds of silence, he continued, “Stop thinking about getting a divorce. I’ll neveragree to it.” Silvia pretended to be indifferent and slowly said, “Neil, it doesn’t concern me whether youagree or not. I don’t love you anymore. I’m definitely going through with it!”
