Chapter 105
Silvia considered the fact that Neil had just saved her. Besides, it would not be convenient for her to cook in her current condition, so she nodded and said, “I’ll stay here before I recover. I’ll move back home once I feel better.”
Neil’s gaze turned colder, and he remained silent. He clearly disagreed.
“Oh yeah, where’s Justus?”
“He’s dead.”
Silvia gave him a surprised look and asked, “Did you kill him?”
“No, he accidentally fell from the hill when he was running away. By the time we found him, the wild animals had gotten to him first.”
Even if he never fell down, Neil would not have allowed him to live either!

She nodded. “He still has an accomplice, Darrion Torres.”
“After Justus died, Darrion turned himself in because he felt guilty.”
Neil’s eyes shone with suspicion immediately after. “You’re just a junior staff member in MY Corporation. Why did Justus and Darrion put all this effort to capture you?”
Silvia looked down and said, “Because Darrion tasked me to sign a contract with Justus. But Justus wanted to sleep with me in exchange for his signature, so I beat him up. Since he harbored a big grudge toward me, he made plans with Darrion to kidnap me.”
However, the suspicion in his eyes did not vanish. “If that was the only issue, wouldn’t it have been easier for Justus to just ask Darrion to fire you? Besides, why did he need to involve Darrion in his kidnapping scheme?”
Silvia massaged her forehead with a frown and said, “Have you forgotten that Dulcie and I are best friends? If Darrion tried to fire me, Dulcie wouldn’t agree!
“As for why Justus got him involved, that man’s insane. How am I supposed to know what he was thinking?”
Neil’s gaze intensified, but he stopped asking.
“Rest well. I’ll get some work done in the study. Just call me if anything happens.”
“Okay.”
She finally sighed in relief after he left.
Dulcie came to visit her in the afternoon. Once Dulcie realized that she was recovering, she felt more at ease.
“Do you know how terrified I was when I heard that you were kidnapped? Thank goodness you’re
fine. Otherwise, I’ll kill Darrion and Justus!”
Silvia chuckled. “I’m fine, aren’t I? Don’t make a big deal out of it.”
“How dare you say that I’m making a big deal out of it! Do you realize If it weren’t for Nell Remus, you probably would’ve…”
Dulcie’s eyes suddenly turned red, and she did not finish her sentence.
“I’m not going to console you if you cry right now!‘
Dulcie rolled her eyes and angrily said, “I’m not crying!”
“Fine, you’re not crying. I’m the one who wants to cry, okay?”
Dulcie wiped her tears before she took out a document from her bag. “How are you going to handle this contract? If we submit it to the police, it’ll be enough to put Darrion in prison for life!”
Silvia remained silent for a few seconds before she said, “Destroy it. I don’t want anyone to learn that
I’m the president of MY Corporation.”
“You don’t want Neil to know, do you? Are you afraid that he’ll start dividing your property?”
“He should be the one afraid of me dividing his property. It’s just that we’re going to get a divorce, and I don’t want to have more problems.”
When she thought of Neil, she suddenly found it hard to describe her emotions, and it bothered her.
Ever since she discovered that he had saved her, she had not been as determined to divorce him as
before.
However, if they stayed together, she would become that pitiful Silvia of the past again. She would not let that happen!
Dulcie stayed for a while longer before she left with the contract.
As Silvia rested over the next few days, the police came to take her statement several times.
During their last visit, the police looked at her and said, “Miss Pond, Darrion Torres wants to see you.”
