Chapter 26
Silvia nodded without hesitation. “Shouldn’t I suspect you? After all, I offended the woman you love. You’re angry, so you want to take it out on me. It makes sense.”
Neil’s eyes shone with anger. “Is this who I am to you?”
Silvia did not answer. Neil instantly felt angry and powerless.
She never trusted him!
While things soured between them, a servant from the Pond Family came over. “Miss Pond, your grandmother would like you to explain yourself.”
Silvia seemed unbothered. “What should I say? What you’ve seen is the truth.”
The servant’s expression darkened slightly. He also sounded displeased. “Miss Pond, because of this incident, Mrs. Pond got so angry that she had to take a few aspirin pills. If you don’t explain yourself, Mrs. Pond will definitely get angrier.”
Before Silvia could say anything, Neil abruptly grabbed her wrist. 21
By the time she snapped out of her daze, Neil had dragged her forward.
She frowned and scowled at him. “Neil Remus, what are you doing? Let go of me!” she said.
Ada immediately ran over and stopped him. Her eyes were full of worry. “Neil, what are you doing? It’s Silvia’s fault, but if she explains herself this instant, it will make things worse. Why don’t you let Silvia leave for now?”
Silvia glared at Ada. She refused to believe that what happened today had nothing to do with Ada.
Ada probably wanted her to leave first so that she could defame her later.
“Ada, I don’t need you to act like a nice person here. If I find out that this incident has something to do with you, I’m going to make your life a living hell!”
Guilt shone in Ada’s eyes before she looked at Silvia with grief. “Silvia, I’m doing this for your sake. Why do you insist on thinking badly of me? I didn’t ask you to hire a male escort at the bar. Even if you’re angry about this being exposed, you shouldn’t lose your temper with me!”
At this time, Mindy walked up to Ada. She looked at Silvia with hatred and said, “You misbehaved and hung out with improper men. How can you have the nerve to falsely accuse Ada? Why did I give birth to an evil creature like you?”
Ada immediately stopped Mindy and pretended to speak graciously, “Mom, it’s fine. I can suffer a little grievance, but Silvia’s reputation is probably ruined.”
“It’s her fault if her reputation is ruined. It has nothing to do with you!”
Silvia could see that Mindy and Ada were echoing one another. If Neil was not holding her wrist, she
would have clapped for them.
Neil did not even look at Ada. He just dragged Silvia to the center of the stage.
Everyone stared at him in surprise. They did not know what he was trying to do.
Silvia looked at Neil with ridicule. “It looks like you love Ada deeply. Having the surveillance footage put on the screen isn’t enough for you, huh? You want to humiliate me in front of everyone again?”
Ada secretly thought the same. Neil likely found Silvia embarrassing, so he wanted to cut ties with her in front of everyone.
However, what Neil said immediately stunned her.
“Mrs. Pond is asking for an explanation. My wife doesn’t mind offering an explanation, but you will have to pay for that!”
The moment he spoke, there was a huge ruckus.
“Did I mishear him? Isn’t Neil with Ada? Why did he call Silvia his wife?”
“I even thought that Silvia was his mistress earlier, but Ada’s the mistress? She clearly knows that Silvia and Neil are married, but she’s involved with her own brother–in–law. She’s a total b*tch!”
“Isn’t it shocking that Neil can still calmly say that they’re married after he saw Silvia feeding the
male escort fruits?”
Ada’s complexion turned pale. She could not stop shaking. She did not expect Neil to reveal his marriage to Silvia in front of everyone.
