The video ended after Willow left with the documents.
“I’ll find someone to arrest Willow Woods first. I’m sure we can make her talk!” David said coldly.
However, Neil stopped him. “There’s no need for that. We just have to get someone to
monitor her and prevent her from escaping. I’d like to see how else Liam plans to deal with me.”
Since Neil was so calm, David had no choice but to agree.
“By the way, it looks like Ada’s still in love with you. You’re a lucky man!”
Neil glanced at him and replied emotionlessly, “I’m not involved with her anymore, never will be.”

“I guess you’re really in love with Silvia. When you married her, we all thought that you did it because she looked exactly like Ada. We didn’t think that you’d actually fall in love with her. Neil frowned. “Her resemblance to Ada was never my reason for marrying her.”
His legs were crippled at that time, so it did not matter whom he married. It would all be the same. However, he gradually fell for her during the year they spent together. Looking back now, it was not until she filed for divorce that he realized how important she was to him.
“Okay. I have some work at the company, so I’ll get going.”
After David left, Neil took out his cell phone and tapped on the number, from which he had received many missed calls. His gaze was dark and deep.
He had a hunch that the calls were from Silvia.
He just happened to be locked up at the time. Hence, he did not have his cell phone with him. He called back after he got his phone, but there was no answer.
Neil tapped on the photo gallery on his phone. There was only one photo in it–it was a side profile of Silvia asleep on the table.
He thought it was cute back then, so he took a picture.
While he was deep in thought, his phone suddenly rang.
“Mr. Remus, I’ve discovered that Ms. Pond left Lumont City yesterday, but her name isn’t on the airport passenger list. Also, the surveillance footage from yesterday is damaged.”
Neil’s gaze instantly turned grim. “Everything’s damaged?”
“Yes… A staff member happened to carry out maintenance at the same time as her departure, and he accidentally broke the surveillance camera. But after I restored it, I couldn’t see Ms. Pond anymore.”
Without realizing, Neil squeezed his phone more tightly as he sternly said, “Keep checking. We must find out where she went!”
“Yes!”

After he hung up, Neil got up to return to his bedroom. Just then, Melanie and Jake came over. The two of them had been traveling abroad. As soon as they returned today, they heard that Abalene was in a coma, their son had been taken away by the police for investigation, and Liam had taken over Remus Corporation.
Similar news came one after another and bombarded their cars. Melanie still found everything surreal at this point.
When she saw Neil, she quickly grabbed his hand. “Neil, what’s going on? Where’s your grandmother? Why are there rumors of you privately misappropriating Remus Corporation’s funds and using a loophole in the law to evade taxes?!”
Nell was calm as he said, “Mom, you don’t have to worry. I’m fine.”
“I heard that you were detained and only released today. How do you a
us to not worry?!”
“I’m really fine. You and dad just came back home. Get some rest. We’ll talk about everything tomorrow.”
Melanie’s eyes were full of rage. “Do you think we can sleep without straightening things out?!”
After a moment of silence, Neil finally told them about the recent events.
Once she heard the full story, Melanie stood up abruptly and spoke in disbelief, “You’re saying that Silvia disappeared with your grandmother? So, you don’t even know if your grandmother’s dead or alive right now?!”
