Chapter 255
Silvia believed she could handle it and did not want to disrupt Neil’s work. She did not want to owe him more favors.
However, Neil’s phone was turned off. He was clearly on the way back to the country.
Silvia lowered her head. When she was about to keep her phone and leave the office, she received a call from Isla.
“Silvia, don’t come back yet. There are people at the mansion’s entrance. They’ve thrown at bunch of rotten veggies and eggs on the door. They’ve also littered the ground.
If Isla had not returned to the mansion to grab something, she would have missed this scene.
Worry flashed in Silvia’s eyes. She quickly asked, “Where are you now? They didn’t spot you, did they?”
“Nope, I didn’t even step out of the car. I’m heading back to the hotel now and won’t be back for a few days. You should find another place to stay. If you don’t mind the distance, you can stay with me at the hotel.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve another place to stay.”
“Alright, if that doesn’t work, just call the police. Otherwise, these people might do something extreme.”
“Got it. I’m done with work. I’ll call you later.”
After ending the call, Silvia quickly checked the surveillance camera outside the mansion. It was discreetly placed where most would not notice.
Like what Isla said, a group of people was in front of the mansion’s entrance. When Silvia heard them discussing how to deal with her, a smirk appeared on her face.
She zoomed in on the surveillance, captured screenshots of the people’s faces, and called the police.
Soon, the
police arrived at the mansion’s entrance and drove those people away.
In less than five minutes, some people tweeted and claimed Silvia was too scared to show up. She only dared to call the police to drive them away. However, they insisted they would still appear at her mansion and would not let her off the hook.
Silvia shared the screenshots of those people from the surveillance with the person who had the black profile picture.
[Dominic, help me find information about these people and send it to me.]
They were not the only ones who could uncover her information. She could dig up theirs as well.
Dominic was efficient. When Silvia stopped the car in front of Remus Mansion, he had sent her a document.
Silvia saved the document. She stepped out of the car and suddenly sensed danger. Years of experience had made her naturally vigilant.
She quickly scanned her surroundings, but found nothing unusual. However, the uneasiness. lingered.
Pushing aside her unease, she walked toward the mansion’s entrance. When she opened the door with the passcode, she suddenly understood the source of her unease.
Without a second thought, Silvia turned and ran as fast as she could. Just as she reached a spot about ten meters away from the mansion, there was a sudden loud “boom” behind her.
The mansion exploded from the inside!
A powerful shockwave, accompanied by fragments of the mansion, surged toward Silvia. Although she had run to a far spot, a large piece still struck her.
She instantly coughed up blood. Her vision went dark, and she passed out.
When she woke up, she found herself facing a white wall.
“You’re awake!” someone said excitedly.
Silvia turned to see a somewhat disheveled Neil.
In her memory, Neil had always been poised and well–dressed. However, he had dark circles. under his eyes and stubble on his chin. Even his clothes were wrinkled. It differed totally from his usual self.
Silvia tried to speak, but found her throat incredibly dry.
“I’ll call the doctor right away.”
Once the doctor checked and confirmed that Silvia was okay, Neil finally relaxed.
Although Silvia still felt some pain, it should not affect her ability to move around.
She slowly sat up to get the cup next to her. However, Neil took the cup first.
He thoughtfully placed a straw in the cup and brought it to her mouth.
Silvia did not hesitate and took a big sip. The cool water down her throat instantly soothed her.
After quenching her thirst, she looked at Neil and asked, “How long have I been unconscious?”
“One day.”
It was longer than Silvia had expected.
Something suddenly occurred to her, and she frowned. “You returned to the country shortly. after you arrived in Malland. How’s your business?”
Neil’s gaze turned cold, and he said, “Silvia, do you realize you almost died?! What kind of business do you think I’m still in the mood to take care of?!”
