“Silvia, are you here for steak as well?”
Silvia wanted to ignore him at first, but she could not bring herself to give a friendly person the cold shoulder. Henry was smiling brightly, so she responded indifferently, “Yes.”
“Why don’t you join us for dinner? The more, the merrier.”
Before she could answer, Dulcie sneered and said, “Excuse me, I’m afraid that we’ll suffer from indigestion if we have to look at you. Silvia, let’s take that table.”
Henry froze and seemed to be at a loss.
David glanced at him and found joy in his misfortune. David said softly, “Back when she liked you, you didn’t cherish her. Now that she doesn’t like you anymore, you keep going after her. Are you trying to be pathetic?”
“Aren’t you the same? I heard that the celebrity you’ve been pursuing doesn’t even look at you!”
David raised his eyebrows in amusement. “You don’t understand. The chase gives me joy.”
When Henry heard this, he felt so disgusted that he had goosebumps. “Even if she likes you back, your family won’t accept her. Did you forget that a celebrity faked her pregnancy and tried to marry you?”
David frowned and said, “Why are you thinking so far ahead? Besides, I can tell that Isla isn’t that kind of person.”
He liked Isla, but after that incident with the celebrity, he would not give other women a chance to set him up again. It did not matter if they ended up in bed together.
It was just about having fun. Things would go wrong once there was a pregnancy.
Just as Henry was about to speak, David suddenly said, “I’ll call Neil and invite him over.”
“Didn’t he already say no earlier?”
“That’s because Silvia wasn’t around. He’ll definitely come now.
Sure enough, when Neil heard that Silvia was also at the steakhouse, he immediately asked for the location.
Meanwhile, Dulcie and Silvia’s food had been served. They chatted as they enjoyed their steak.
“Dulcie, is Henry still pestering you?”
Dulcie rolled her eyes and said, “Yes! He’s like a bee that keeps buzzing around me. If it weren’t for MY Corporation’s collaboration with Brooks Corporation, I would’ve blocked his number.”
Based on how irritated she looked, Silvia could tell that she really hated Henry.
“If you don’t want to interact with him, you can slowly stop collaborating with Brooks Corporation and secure deals with other companies.”
Dulcie nodded. “Got it. Let’s not talk about him. We should get some drinks and celebrate the

fact that we’ve solved the issue with the new fall products. I haven’t had wine in ages!”
Silvia wanted to say no, but seeing that Dulcie was in a bad mood, she kept it to herself.
“Okay. Let’s drink until we drop.”
When Neil arrived at the steakhouse, he saw Dulcie and Silvia leaning on the table. He frowned because they appeared tipsy.
“What happened?”
David spread his hands helplessly. “While they were chatting, they ordered some wine. But they got drunk just after two glasses…”
Neil’s gaze turned dark. He carried Silvia before he looked at his two friends and said, “Send Dulcie home.”
After he spoke, he carried Silvia and left.
The moment they entered the car, Silvia started wriggling in his arms. Let go

When Neil saw her reaching for the buttons on her shirt, his gaze intensified. He immediately grabbed her wrist and told the driver, “Put down the partition and head to Remus Mansion!”
He only released her after the partition was lowered. “Be quiet. We’ll be home in a second!” he said with a frown.
Silvia looked at him in confusion. “Home? In Elm Bay?”
Neil’s expression darkened, and he coldly said, “Remus Mansion!”
