Chapter 40
There was brief silence on the other end before Henry spoke coldly, “Snow likes the dress. How much is it? I’ll buy it from you.”
Dulcie’s face turned red with rage. “Henry Brooks! How could you give my dress to someone else without asking me?! If you don’t return it within an hour, be prepared for a lawyer’s letter!”
Dulcie hung up in anger. After some thought, she dialed Silvia’s number.
“sil, I’m sorry. I accidentally left your birthday gift in that b*stard’s car last night. After we broke up, I forgot about it.
“I asked him to return it today, but he said his girlfriend’s taken a liking to the dress. He just gave it away without asking me! I’m so mad! I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get it back.”
Silvia furrowed her brows when she heard this. She never expected Dulcie’s ex–boyfriend to be so
unreasonable.
“Don’t worry about the dress. I can design a new one for you. But what do you plan on doing about the way they’re treating you?”
“No, you don’t have to design a new one. I’ll definitely get that dress back. I told him that if he
doesn’t return it, I’ll send him a lawyer’s letter.”
“Alright. Just let me know if you need any help.”
“Sure thing!”
After she spoke with Dulcie, Silvia received a call from her subordinate.
“Boss, we’ve gotten the details. The person who drugged you last night is a guy named Reid Galvan. But something happened to him before we could make a move. He was arrested and taken to the police station. He’s likely heading for jail.”
Silvia remained silent for a few moments before she mercilessly said, “Send all the evidence you’ve gathered to the police and let him rot in there for the rest of his life.”
“Understood.”
In the evening, Neil sent someone to bring Silvia to a restaurant.
While she was on the way there, Silvia planned to have a calm conversation with Neil during dinner.
However, as soon as the car stopped at the restaurant’s entrance, she saw something unexpected.
She quickly got out and walked a short distance behind Henry and Snow. After she got a clear look of Snow’s dress, she confirmed that it was indeed Devotion!
Evidently, these two individuals were Dulcie’s despicable ex–boyfriend and his new girlfriend.
Just as she was about to speak, Neil’s cold voice rang out behind her.
“What are you standing around for? Why aren’t you waiting inside?”
Upon hearing Neil’s voice, the two people in front of her turned around.
A glimmer of surprise flickered in Henry’s eyes. “Neil, you’re having dinner at such a romantic restaurant?”
Neil saw him and nonchalantly hummed in agreement.
Snow, on the other hand, was incredibly shocked. She thought that Neil was in love with Ada. So, why was he at this restaurant with Silvia?
She looked at Silvia disdainfully and sent Ada a message. Then, she smiled at Henry and suggested, Since we’ve bumped into each other, why don’t the four of us dine together?”
Henry was about to decline, but Silvia, who had remained silent up to this point, suddenly said, Sure.”
Neil frowned and glanced at her. He wondered why she agreed.
As they walked into the private dining room and sat down, Snow smiled and turned to Neil. “Mr. Remus, you haven’t introduced your partner to us.”
Silvia chuckled and mocked her. “You don’t deserve to know who I am.”
Her sharp retort instantly changed Henry and Snow’s expressions.
Veil was surprised. He had never seen Silvia behave this rudely toward anyone before.
