Chapter 127
If Curtis were around, he would surely do a spit take. Neil had ordered the termination of all projects with Walls Corporation. How could Nathan still not be reasonable?
Silvia just smiled.
After dinner, they sat in the living room to watch TV. “What do you plan to do about your mother?” Neil asked her.
silvia’s smile faded slightly. “I don’t intend to do anything, s
be strangers from now on.”
A hint of surprise crossed Neil’s eyes. “Are you sure?”
she’s publicly disowned me, we’ll
Ada often told him that Silvia would copy her to gain affection from Mindy and Idris.
Silvia frowned and asked, “Why?”
“I heard that you’ve always wanted to mend your relationship with your mother. You might be happier if your family cares for you.”
Silvia put her plate of fruits down, and her expression turned unpleasant.
“Mr. Remus, did the Pond Family ask you to mediate?”
After a brief silence, Neil said, “Ada came to see me this afternoon. She was hoping that I could convince you to let go of this matter.”
Silvia looked at him coldly. “So, what was your response? Did you agree?”
“I didn’t, but I think you might regret it if your relationship with the Pond Family sours. I hope you’ll think about it carefully.”
“Mr. Remus, you don’t need to worry about this. I’ve thought it through.”
After the conversation, she was no longer in the mood to watch TV, so she returned to her bedroom.
Winston arrived to give Neil his massage, but she did not come out even after he left.
Neil rested for a while and hesitated before he rolled his wheelchair to her bedroom.
He knocked on the door and asked, “Silvia, can we talk?”
After a brief pause, he heard her cold voice from the inside. “I’m sleeping. If you have something to discuss, let’s do it tomorrow.”
He waited outside her door for a moment and continued, “Are you angry?”
“No, just go back to your room. I’m very tired. Don’t disturb me.”
Neil said nothing more and left.
The next morning, Silvia had already left for work when he got up. She was clearly avoiding him.
He finished his breakfast with a stern expression and decided to call her.
“Yeah?”
When he heard her indifferent voice through the phone, he could not contain his anger anymore and said, “Silvia, what’s with this attitude of yours?”
There was a two–second silence on the other end of the line.
“There’s nothing wrong with my attitude.”
“If you’re not angry, why did you leave for work before I woke up? You’re clearly avoiding me!”
“Mr. Remus, I have a lot of work at the company today, so I left early. Do I need to tell you my schedule?”
“Come with me to the Walls Family’s dinner party tonight. I’ll pick you up at MY Corporation after you finish work.”
He hung up without waiting for her to respond.
The day passed by quickly. While Silvia went through some documents at the company, she received another call from Neil.
“I’m here. Get down here!”
