Chapter 36
There was a fierce glint in Silvia’s eyes as several burly men surrounded her.
One of the men tried to grab her as he spoke with a sinister grin, “Come with us, Miss.”
Just as he was about to touch her, she grabbed his wrist and fl*pped him over her shoulder. He let out a painful yelp and crashed to the ground.
When the remaining three men realized that Silvia was not as weak as they thought, they acted together.
However, all of them were lying on the ground and groaning in pain a minute later.
Silvia could sense that her b*dy was reaching its limit. Her vision had also started to blur.
She summoned the last of her strength and hurried forward.
Once inside the elevator, she pressed what she thought was the button for the first floor. Then, she leaned against the wall to catch her breath.
When the elevator doors opened, she stepped out. She frowned when she realized that she was not on the first floor. She knew that going back now might lead her to those people again.
There was a long corridor ahead, so she continued forward with sheer determination.
Silvia had no idea how long she had been walking, but she felt her consciousness slowly fading. As she fell to the ground, she suddenly landed in a warm embrace.
Meanwhile, Neil was on the eighth floor of Grand Opulence. He was sitting on a couch in its most luxurious private room and quietly sipping on cognac. He had already finished two bottles of Remy
Martin XO.
David was on the other side of the couch. “Neil, you’ve been drinking in silence since you arrived. Have you been feeling S**ually frustrated lately?” he said in annoyance.
Neil glared at him. “If you have nothing better to say, consider donating your mouth to someone who can make better use of it.”
David was at a loss for words.
Ryan patted him on the shoulder sympathetically. “Can’t you tell that Neil hasn’t been in a good mood lately? Don’t annoy him.”
Right then, the door opened, and Henry entered with Snow.
“Allow me to introduce my girlfriend, Snow Walls!”
The three men in the room knew that Henry and Snow had been romantically involved before. However, the trio never expected them to patch things up so quickly after Snow returned to the country.
David, in particular, could not help but frown. He had seen Henry and Dulcie shopping together not long ago.
Dulcie used to be part of their circle, but she disappeared after her family went bankrupt. When he heard about her again, she had made an incredible comeback by becoming the president of MY Corporation.
However, MY Corporation had been on a steady decline over the past couple of years, and its future. seemed uncertain.
David even worried about what would happen to Dulcie if MY Corporation went bankrupt. He was sure that the Brooks Family would not welcome her. Her relationship with Henry was bound to be a rocky
one.
It had only been a short while since he saw them shopping together, yet Henry and Snow were now back together.
Noticing the room’s awkward silence, Henry expressed his dissatisfaction. “What’s going on here? Nob*dy’s saying a word. Do all of you have a problem with my girlfriend?”
Ryan smiled and said, “We were afraid of frightening her.”
He then turned to Snow. “Hello, Miss Walls. I’m Ryan Anderson, Henry’s buddy.”
Snow wore a gentle smile. “Hello, everyone.”
Once they exchanged greetings, Henry gestured at her to sit beside him. He looked at her and said, “If ‘ou find us boring, you can call Ada over. You two are good friends, aren’t you?”
now hesitated and glanced at Neil. “Is it okay? Won’t it be inconvenient?”
Of course not! We’re all friends.”
ist as Snow was about to call Ada, Neil stood up abruptly and said, “I have to attend to some matters. ou can continue enjoying yourselves.”
low’s face turned pale. She looked at Henry dejectedly and said, “Mr. Remus doesn’t seem to like me ry much.”
ivid frowned as he sensed how manipulative she was.
[Neil likes you, someone might get jealous,” he joked.
