Chapter 27
Didn’t he not like Silvia?
How could this happen?
When Mindy saw the sadness on Ada’s face, she felt heartbroken. She immediately held Ada’s shaking b*dy.
“Ada, don’t be sad. Neil must have purposely said that in front of everyone because he didn’t want the Pond Family to be embarrassed!”
When Ada heard this, she grasped at her last ray of hope. She subconsciously nodded and said, “Yes,
that has to be it. Neil wouldn’t fall for Silvia. He loves me!”
Jeremy exchanged looks with his wife, and they saw shock in each other’s eyes.
They had assumed that Neil and Silvia were not on good terms. Now that Ada was back, the two of them would definitely get a divorce. Hence, they dared to belittle Silvia and set her up. If Neil had feelings for Silvia, they would definitely dare not treat her that way!
Jeremy quickly responded, “Mr. Remus, I’m sorry that you feel this way. We just thought that there might be some misunderstanding, so we wanted Silvia to explain herself to the guests. That way, they
wouldn’t misunderstand her!”
Neil’s expression was cold. He firmly said, “What would they misunderstand? I was at the bar that day. We got into a fight, so she purposely hired a male escort to make me angry. Why do we need to tell you about our private lives?
“Who’s so concerned about us? How about installing a surveillance camera in my house so that you
can watch us all the time?”
He glanced around fiercely. Those he looked at lowered their heads and dared not look him in the eye.
Nob*dy was bold enough to say anything. If someone provoked Neil, he could instantly make his family go bankrupt. Nob*dy could bear the consequences of gossiping.
In private, many rich ladies and CEOs lived wilder lives than Silvia. They just had not been exposed
yet.
The banquet hall was silent. They did not even dare breathe as they were afraid of being noticed by
Neil.
After the initial shock, Silvia calmed down and swung Neil’s hand away. She quickly walked toward the banquet hall’s entrance.
Neil frowned before he followed her soon after.
Ada bit her bottom l*p and went after him.
Just as Neil arrived at the entrance, Ada stopped him.
Chapter 27
She stared at him with teary eyes. “Neil, have you fallen for Silvia?”
There was unhappiness in Neil’s eyes. “Ada, this is between me and Silvia. It’s none of your business,” he said coldly.
“Why is it none of my business?”
Ada almost broke down. Her tears kept streaming down her face. “We’re a couple! She’s the one who took advantage of your accident. You didn’t announce your marriage for three years. Weren’t you waiting for me?”
Neil remained silent for a few seconds. He appeared indifferent as he looked at Ada and said, “In the beginning, I really wanted to wait for you, but that desire slowly faded away. Ada, you’ll find your Mr. Right.”
“You’re my Mr. Right, Neil. I know you still like me, so I won’t give up!”
Neil frowned deeply. “You’re still very young. You don’t need to waste your time on me—”
“I’m not wasting my time. I won’t fall for anyone else but you!” Ada firmly said.
When Neil saw Ada’s determined look, his gaze turned colder. He left without saying anything.

When he returned to the mansion, he saw Silvia sitting on the couch in the living room. Anger filled his eyes. “Why didn’t you wait for me?”
Silvia did not answer his question. She just looked at him with a calm expression. “Neil, let’s talk.”
Neil sat across from her with a hostile gaze.
“What do you want to talk about?”
