Chapter 124
“I’m just being objective.”
Ada’s face turned pale. After a moment of silence, she said in a shaky voice, “I never thought you’d think of me that way. We’ve known each other for many years!”
Neil’s expression turned cold as he remained silent.
She waited for a while and expected him to say something comforting, but he remained silent. She felt hurt, and her disappointment grew. Eventually, she left his office in tears.
As she rushed toward the door, she collided with Curtis. He had arrived to deliver Angel’s Tears to
Neil.
When Neil previously gave him the necklace, he noticed some scratches, so he promptly sent it for maintenance. It had just been returned.
The collision nearly made Ada stumble. She was already fuming, and her frustration grew after she regained her balance.
Just as she was about to speak, the necklace in Curtis’s hand caught her eye.
Her heart instinctively skipped a beat..
“Mr. Harrell, is this necklace…”
Did Neil plan to give it to her? Had he asked Curtis to deliver it when she least expected it?
“Hello, Miss Ada. This necklace was sent for maintenance some time ago, and it just arrived from abroad. I’m taking it to Mr. Remus.”
Ada’s eyes remained fixed on the necklace. She bit her lower l*p and said, “Well, go on in. I’m leaving.”
After Curtis entered Neil’s office, she slowly made her way to the elevator. She expected Neil to chase after her and give her the necklace.
However, she waited by the elevator doors for a long time, and he did not appear.
Filled with frustration, she stomped her feet and thought. “Never mind! I don’t even want it!”
Meanwhile, at the Ryoln City police station, Nathan Walls and his lawyer attempted to bail Cora and Snow out. Unfortunately, their efforts were in vain. As they were leaving, someone whispered a few words in Nathan’s ear, and his expression darkened significantly.
Once in the car, he sternly said, “Head to Remus Corporation!”
Half an hour later, Curtis approached Neil.
“Mr. Remus, Mr. Walls wants to see you.”
Nathan waited at Remus Corporation throughout the afternoon and finally met Neil at around 5 p.m.
He quickly walked up to him. “Mr. Remus, I have a few things to discuss with you. Can you spare a few
minutes?”
Neil gave him a cold look and replied, “Mr. Walls, you shouldn’t have come to me.”
Nathan instantly caught the meaning behind his words. “Mr. Remus, if you can be lenient, I’ll make sure that my wife and daughter personally apologize to Mrs. Remus,” he quickly said.
“It’s pointless talking to me. Talk to my wife. If she agrees to forgive them, I won’t cause you any trouble.”
“Alright, I understand.”
As the president of Walls Corporation, Nathan would not simply meet Silvia without a strategy. First, he instructed his company’s PR Department to release a statement online to clarify that Snow’s previous statements were false. She had only said those things to use the movie for clout and boost her popularity. She had finally recognized the error of her ways.
The PR Department’s manager hesitated and said, “Mr. Walls, if we release this statement, it might significantly ruin Miss Walls’s future in the entertainment industry.”
Nathan appeared unmoved as he responded, “It’s her fault for getting into this mess. She should have known better and not offend someone so powerful.”
The PR Department’s manager nodded and said, “Understood.”
