Chapter 78
When Silvia smelled the alcohol on him, she frowned. “I came to return the shares of RemusCorporation to you.”
Neil scoffed. “Silvia Pond, didn’t you go through all that trouble with Grandma just to divorce me? Nowyou’re trying to return the shares to me. Have you changed your mind about the divorce?”
Silvia looked at him indifferently. “No.”
“If you want your divorce, don’t come here and mess with me again. Take the shares, and we won’towe each other anything again!”
She remained silent for a while before she asked, “When do you plan on submitting the divorcepapers?”
Dissatisfaction flashed in Neil’s eyes. “Tomorrow morning. Don’t worry. I won’t drag it out on purpose.”
Silvia nodded. “Okay. That’s it from me.”
He closed the door right after she spoke.
The next morning, Darrion approached Silvia with a contract as soon as she walked into her office.
“Miss Pond, we’ve planned this project for half a year. Please have a look. If there’s no problem, we’llstart working on it once you sign…”
Silvia ignored his flattering smile. She took the document in an aloof manner and said “Okay. You canget back to work first, Mr. Torres.”
Darrion froze. “Miss Pond, aren’t you going to look at it now?”
“I still have other contracts to look through. I’ll call you after I read it.”
Darrion appeared resentful as he said, “Okay, I understand.”
The moment he stepped out of her office, his expression became gloomy and unpleasant.
He thought of Justus’s threat. If he failed to secure this project, he would not be able to get the moneyfor that man!
No way! He had to make Silvia sign the contract!
Once he received the funds, he could return the required amount to Justus and also leave with theremaining money. Whatever happened to MY Corporation would be none of his business!
After Darrion left, Silvia felt agitated for some reason.
She looked at the time in irritation. The courthouse would be open very soon, so Neil should be callingher, right?
As she thought about it, time seemed to pass a little slower than usual. She hoped that their divorcewould be successful this
time.
At around 10 a.m., she received a call from Curtis.
“Miss Silvia, Mr. Remus got involved in a car accident. They need your signature for his surgery now.Please come over!”
Silvia’s heart sank. “I’ll be there in a minute!”
She rushed to the hospital once she hung up.
She only turned to Curtis after she signed the paperwork and Neil’s surgery began. “How did hesuddenly get into a car accident?”
“Mr. Remus was on his way to the courthouse to submit the divorce papers, but a car was tailing us.The driver noticed that something was wrong, so he tried to get rid of the car. But when we drove pastRiverside Bridge, the car sped up and rushed forward. Whoever it was clearly wanted to push Mr.Remus’ car into the river.
“Then, our driver immediately turned the steering wheel. We hit the bus across the road, and that cartook the opportunity to
escape.”
Silvia’s expression darkened as she asked, “Do you have the car’s information?”
“We’re still looking into it, but the car used a fake number plate. I guess it’ll take us some time to figureit out.”
“I got it. Don’t tell Madam Remus about this. We’ll see how things are after the surgery.”
Curtis nodded. “Mr. Remus said the same thing before he fell unconscious. His parents are currentlyabroad, so you might have to take care of him for some time, Miss Silvia.”
Just as she was about to say something, the phone in her bag suddenly rang.
The ringtone was so unique that it was impossible to tell what kind of instrument made that sound.However, Silvia was not happy to hear it.
She walked to the side and took out her phone. A message instantly popped up on the screen.
[Iris, one of the people we spared previously was the real Scorpion. He pretended to be a lackey sothat he could successfully escape. We’ve been exposed. His people are hunting me, so I guess they’llfind you very soon. Stay safe!]
The message quickly faded before it disappeared completely.
Silvia looked down and fell into deep thought.novelbin
