weird silence filled the place for a few seconds before Idris hurriedly said, “Please have a at, Mr. Remus.”
ter that, he asked Mindy to get him some tea.
indy was enraged. She did not expect Silvia to seduce Neil after their divorce. She realized hy Ada rarely talked about Neil anymore. It was all because of Silvia.
er hand trembled with anger. As she looked down at the boiling tea, a wicked idea suddenly curred to her.
Silvia’s face was ruined, Neil would lose interest and certainly get back together with Ada. Ivia did not notice the imminent danger. She chatted with Bethany and learned that she ould be discharged in a few days. With that, Silvia said nothing more.
esides, she was not close to Bethany since they would only meet during the holidays. She ever tried to please Bethany since she knew that the latter disliked her like the others.
addenly, everyone heard a panic–stricken voice.
Watch out!”
ne turned around and saw Mindy losing her balance. At the same time, the cup in Mindy’s and fell toward Silvia.
he consequences would be unimaginable if the boiling water landed on her face.
ilvia was about to dodge it, but Neil grabbed her wrist and abruptly pulled her to the side.
s a result, the water splashed on his arm instead.
fter she steadied herself, Silvia quickly pulled his arm over and found it covered in blisters.
lood drained from Mindy’s face because she never expected to accidentally burn Neil.
I–I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it… I slipped and fell…”
Iris immediately slapped her and scolded her, “Useless! You can’t even make tea properly!”
Ithough Mindy was furious, she dared not say anything as guilt was written all over her face.
noring them, Silvia pulled Neil up and said, “Let’s get a doctor to tend to your wound.”
fter they informed the doctor about Neil’s burn, the doctor tended to his wound with haste nd advised him to avoid getting water into his wound.
n their way back to Bethany’s ward, Silvia looked at Neil and said, “I’m sorry for this, Mr. emus.”
‘hen Neil caught the guilt in Silvia’s eyes, he muttered, “It’s okay because it’ll heal in a few ays, but Mrs. Pond did that on purpose.”
is words filled Silvia with hostility. “I know. I just didn’t expect her to hate me that much.”
I won’t let her off the hook this time.”
What are you planning to do?” she asked.
Neil had an unfathomable expression as he explained, “Pond Corporation has been negotiating for a large business deal recently. They’ll lose their capital chain and risk bankruptcy if they fail to secure this deal.
Silvia kept her head low as she pondered over it. Idris would never let Mindy go if he learned that she had ruined his chances for a collaboration.
Silvia’s slience prompted Neil to continue, “I’ll pretend that it didn’t happen if you don’t want me to do anything.”
She shook her head and spoke ruthlessly.
“No, she hurt you. I wouldn’t let it go even if you refused to do anything about it.”
When Neil looked down and noticed how aloof she was, he suddenly felt sorry for her. Mindy must have let her down many times for her to be so cold.
“Just leave it to me. Although the Pond Family isn’t nice to you, others might attack you blindly if you go against the Pond Family.”
Silvia looked up at Neil and nodded. “Okay.”
Idris was the only one left at the ward.
When he saw Neil’s bandaged arm, he kept apologizing. “I’m so sorry for today’s accident, Mr. Remus.”
Neil treated him coldly. “You don’t have to apologize.

Idris was stunned. Before he could react, Neil said something that caused him greater despair.
“Because I’m not letting the Pond Family off the hook this time. You and your company can stop negotiating for a collaboration.”
